EGTV: Exclusive Supreme Commander trailer News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC

Glimpse of the futuristic future.

THQ's impressive stand at this year's E3 was something of an RTS frenzy, with the likes of Company Of Heroes, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and Supreme Commander vying for attendees' attention.

Eurogamer TV is now showing an exclusive new trailer of the latter title, developed by Gas Powered Games, the guys who made Dungeon Siege and whose CEO Chris Taylor created Total Annihilation.

Set in the far flung future (the 37th century to be precise), THQ is billing Supreme Commander as the 'next evolution in RTS'. The rather thrilling four-minute trailer offers a detailed glimpse of the game in action, comprised entirely of in-game footage.

Due for release on PC in 2007, you can view the exclusive Supreme Commander trailer over at Eurogamer TV.

37th Century? I find it unlikely that there will still be naval ships.

a non-pre rendered, in-game, normal mapped polycount statistic free trailer and it looks awesome. I'm going to spend a PS3's worth amount of money on a new PC this christmas, I think.

wah! aparently the map in the demo is 1/16th the size of the biggest possible in the game. Finally an rts with enough space for a proper war, rather than ittie bittie battles.

What a wonderful way to present the game. RTS' trailers tend to be CG-only / boring ingame video / combination of both but this one finally kicks ass while actually showing us the gameplay.

this will most likely be the first game to portray war, and not just battles!

Haven't checked out this trailer yet but there is some shakycam footage on YouTube of Chris Taylor's 10 minute E3 presentation where he explains some of the new gameplay features.

"37th Century? I find it unlikely that there will still be naval ships."

Why not? Mobile bases ftw.

"THE YEAR IS 3650. EXISTENCE IS PLOTLESS."

TA was had no plot whatsoever, but it didnt stop it from becomming of one of the best games of all time, did it?

TardKommando: Link?

BTW, Anyone up for a game when this comes out? Im sure that it will support something like 16p

The sole reason for ships to exists in that future is That They Are F$cking Bad @ss! And in some cases can now walk on land aswell!

As requested.

Look for Supreme Commander E3 Presentation Part 1 of 2 and Supreme Commander E3 Presentation Part 2 of 2.

Much more detail than trailer.
