Supreme Commander 2 on March 2nd

Anyone else as excited for this game as I am? I can't wait... especially now that the release date is posted.

It looks promising, but I'm very worried about performance. I know they keep claiming it will be better performance wise, but I tend to find developers have a nasty habit of claiming great performance and delivering really nasty results.DerekLoffin

seeing as who's making it i don't see any problems

Isn't that the same release date as Bad company 2?

i wonder how much rig power it's going to need to run properly..... the first one wasn't the most optimised of games, or so i heard....

It's going to be one of the few games which have full 2+ multi-core support. I know there are many games that support it but Supreme Commander, from my experience, was the most optimised. Adversary16

i said ( heard ) that it was not optimised, because the game's official rec spec never mentioned anything about quad core. that it runs well with a quad is nice and all, but i wouldn't call that optimisation.

it all depends on the reviews for me. the first game was great in terms of scale, I played it on PC, but if it uses the same basic Rock, Paper, Scissors, mechanic as the first game I wont have much fun with it.

There are Good RTS's that use this mechanic as well as mixing it up with other things, And then there was Supreme Commander which took the mechanic to the extreme that made some levels just annoying to play depending on what faction you were fighting.

But I don't like my RTS's games overly complex. Supreme Commander (At least on PC) got frustraiting. I prefere the more laid back style of Command & Conquer.

From what I've seen the scale looks cut back a bit... They have done a clever job at making the maps look epic and big while they're actually smaller.

I do welcome the inclusion of proper cities though, it always seemed a bit too convenient that armies marched out into the middle of no where to do battle.

Do you like/play RTS games at all? Because SupCom did the best job at trying to get away from rock paper scissors.

Im not the biggest fan of them. I enjoy one every now and then, but SupCom wasn't really for me, I love the Idea, I just didn't like all the Micromanagement that was needed compared to the other games.

I could never get into sup com, which is wierd because I loved TA O.O

SupCom 2 isn't looking nearly as good as the original atm.Swiftstrike5

It's like a double edge sword for me....I can't wait for SC 2 to be released since I'm a huge fan of the first plus TA...but...since it's also being released for the 360 I hope it doesn't become a watered down version just to appeal to the masses (casual gamers) to boost sales....Don't get me wrong, I want GPG to succeed but not at the expense of giving PC gamers a lite version of Supreme Commander. (can you say DoW II ?)

With the lack of support SupCom has received with little to no patch updates for some time from GPG (except for the beta...what a joke)...I'm guessing that might have had a lot to do with them focusing on SupCom 2 plus the new involvment with Squair Enix...So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed they come out with a strong new version that will help enhance the on-line community, which has been suffering a bit due to not enough support.......

Supreme Commander was Looooooong released before it was even thought of for the 360....that is totally irrelevant, as opposed to SC 2 being developed and released for both the 360 and PC at the same time......and I didn't say GPG never released any patches....When the game was first released there was plenty of support...but over the past year it has been very little....Obviously you can't read or understand what I wrote....try again......

I was highly skeptical when they announced Square Enix was involved. I guess we'll see.zomglolcats

I honestly think this may have been the problem.

Yeah, I suppose ya'll who have expressed concern about the scale being reduced for console players have some valid complaints. From most videos and articles I've seen though, it seems like they are keeping the scale at about the same size while diversifying the maps a bit more. The new units look sick. I'm looking forward to building tons of unit-launchers and doing invasions that way. As far as the campaign in the first game, I skipped it entirely in favor of the multiplayer. I could care less what they do with the singleplayer as long as the multiplayer remains intact.
