THQ unveils Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance News
PC News by Tom Bramwell
THQ has told Eurogamer that the next chapter in the Supreme Commander series is scheduled for release in November on Windows-based PCs.
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance will be a standalone title that's nevertheless compatible with the original, allowing for new strategic options in both.
The new game follows the epic story of the Infinite War, introducing a brand new single-player campaign, a new faction and new multiplayer features.
It also introduces over 100 new units, allowing for fully realised navies, orbital weaponry and advanced counter-intelligence technologies.
"Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is not only the continuation of the epic story that is unfolding inside the game's universe, it is the continuation of our goal to move the bar for RTS gaming even higher than ever," says Chris Taylor, CEO of Gas Powered Games, who continues at the helm of the series' development.
"Forged Alliance offers over 100 new units, more maps and an entirely new faction... we are stuffing this game with all kinds of new features!"
The original Supreme Commander, released earlier this year, came remarkably close to winning top marks, eventually settling for a grand 9/10 and having to put up with being labelled "a triumphant achievement" and "a love letter to the fans". Bet they were gutted!

I found the game promised so much but delivered so little. Bring on World in Conflict and Universe at War

rhinoxious: DX10 will never make it into SupCom (at least not with SupCom 1 tech), GPG already said that some months after release. I guess they realized it was more important to cater to the DX9 crowd, that DX10 patch for CoH also wasn't something to get enthusiastic about.
I hope it's the same price as with Dark Crusade, really curious to the new units (although within a month it's very likely GPG will release free units as well according to a counter on GPGnet). A bit worried though that it comes so soon after the original game (which was ace if you played it for more than a few hours). |

Wish they would spend more time fixing the game breaking bugs in the original game before starting work on an expansion. It was not only released in a right old state, but even now it now runs a little faster, it's still crashing a hell of a lot of people with nvidia cards :P every patch seems to bring about another critical bug.
Last time I checked the tech support forum had more threads than the 'general game chat' one :P and I haven't been able to play it properly since launch because one bug or another is always crashing me to desktop once every half a dozen games :(

@ Benno OMG then you must have only played those 2 RTS games. SC was the biggest let down. All the previews focused on alot of key features - but where were they?
It has the worse UI of ANY game (excluding Caesar IV) and is probably one of the worse RTS games out there as there is really no strategy involved at all. Why must there be an expansion/add-on that MIGHT correct the UI? No thanks. Bring on World in Conflict! |

The UI on SC is quite good, but you have to get used to it. There is also an option for a smaller UI (that I do not like).
SC has got strategy, it lacks a bit of tactical / micromanagement game but it's a good trade off if you ask me. If you are the type of person that like StarCraft and considers that game a strategy game is likely to be let down though. And yep, thinktank you are right, THQ is not a developer completely, it's more a publisher than anything :o) |
