Anyone ever noticed?
Anyone ever noticed that the intro video of the original TA begins with the comander building a building he cannot build in the real game? (Heavy laser tower)

Another builder could have set it up and then walked away?manored wrote:Anyone ever noticed that the intro video of the original TA begins with the comander building a building he cannot build in the real game? (Heavy laser tower)

But no constructor is say around if I remember well and the commander aparear bulding it from a very early state.ralphie wrote:Given a commander is supposedly a tactical genius skilled in invading planets, I would imagine him being able to assist a constructor to build a laser tower.

Um. Yeah, but I never gave a shit. I assumed that he was a different commander to the one you get in game, who therefore gets a slightly different build menu due to more intact databanks...manored wrote:But no constructor is say around if I remember well and the commander aparear bulding it from a very early state.ralphie wrote:Given a commander is supposedly a tactical genius skilled in invading planets, I would imagine him being able to assist a constructor to build a laser tower.
So no one else assumed that was a markenting trick to make the game look more dinamic and fast paced than it actual is?BlackLiger wrote:Um. Yeah, but I never gave a shit.

maybe your being a cynical dick? Maybe it was made before the tech tree was finalized, because God knows that rendering large videos only took a few minutes back in the day. Hell machines these days are JUST TOO SLOW to render something like that TA opening.manored wrote:So no one else assumed that was a markenting trick to make the game look more dinamic and fast paced than it actual is?BlackLiger wrote:Um.

I was actually thinking of exactly that post, but forgot where it was. Specifically the fact that the comm is building a GAAT gun there. Which also unfolds apparently.Neuralize wrote:http://ton-of-clay.blogspot.com/2006/11 ... -care.htmlmanored wrote:Buy a militar computer from Usasmoth wrote: maybe your being a cynical dick?

Yes, I may lock this if you don't stop assing around.
And yes, the Tech Tree wasn't finished at that point. I emailed Clayton about it and he says that to be frank, they didn't majorly care, as all they wanted there was something that shot stuff..., and the LLT hadn't been fully modeled at that point, so they had no high poly version of that to throw in...
