Sorry K but at first I just didn't feel any love towards it. I was getting tired of RTS'... in fact I was even getting tired of many genres. But the thought of a genuine strategy... it's interesting. Reminds me of when i used to draw maps for Dune 2 deciding where i was going to attack and place gun turrets :)

THQ are just the publishers. This is very much a Gas Powered Games game.

B'sides. With two of the best RTS games EVER coming from THQ (Warhammer 40k and Company of Heroes) I'm not complaining that they're publishing this.

Yeah, THQ are crap. Only published such terrible games as Titan Quest, Company of Heroes and Psychonauts recently. I boycot them, too, because it makes sense.

"Still not a Diana Ross-based RTS."

How many days did it take to come up with that?

Indeed, THQ have turned a corner in the last year or so.

I am so excited by this game.

My PC, however, is not.

Thq are more than just the publishers. If only Thq were just publishers like. Thq like to get in involved, make suggestions and have too much input. Thq like to stick their ore in, because they can.

Looks to me like their input is a pretty good influence, judging by their recent releases.

Chris taylor! \0/

TA was absolutely brilliant and refreshing, played it for years and years. Even now it still holds it's own against current day RTS games. This is my single most anticipated game. \0/

What specs do you need to play it?
I absolutely loved Total Annihilation...
And that suicide 'walk-your-commander-into-the-enemy-base' sounds very familiar...

Awesome game, THQ moaners really should check our Relic forums for CoH and DoW. THQ staff post daily responses to questions from fans and members, about new developments, patch news and a host of stuff. Its the most involved I've ever seen a company get with its fanbase in my 10 years of gaming.

Sorry to be a pessimist here, we all hate 'em, but am I really the only one who was a bit disappointed with this article? I've been REALLY interested in this game over the past few months, with some real promise of strategic depth, but this preview just makes it seem like it really is just a resource/construction-rush game all over again. If you look hard enough and if you play long enough you'll find a little bit more strategy in it, but it still sounds like the best things to do is still clicking as fast as you possibly can.

Really hope to be proven wrong on this.

"Anyone have a beta key?"

Got one in a mail today :) Hopefully the beta won't have expired until I've upgraded my computer. I suspect my poor 9800pro will cry once it tries to run this game...

As awesome as it looks, I'm thinking along the same lines as Veldaban. I hope the zooming out will make it a lot easier to manage everything at once as I'm really crap at ressource-collecting, build-as-fast-as-you-can games.

I never understood why people say it looks like a frantic mess - and it will a nightmare to command your army on something of this scale.

Its just the same as TA. So with the added addition of the zoom feature and the co-ordinated attacks Chris showed during his energetic interview. It will make it even easier.

It will not be as difficult to micro manage your army as it is in DoW and CoH that much is certain.

p.s. Eurogamer said the result of the Beta key release would be monday. So where are the results ?!?!? I want one too.

I can see im going to need to increase my overdraft a few hundred when this comes out :(

If it lasts anywhere as near as TA then it shall be worth it anyways (ive been playing TA since I got into PC gaming many years ago).
