nah not really but on a more serious note new pics of Supcom on pc.ign.com

then again, the missile towers in this pic:

all look suspiciously like a mercury...

Edit: fixed link. Those little building that have blue beams coming out of em are some sort of power gen that give a targetted building more power (presumably to speed up construction or whatever). the flat building close to us is, i assume, an air plant with the tall one behind it being a vehicle or bot fac. and i think its a safe bet that the big glowing building is a power plant.

I see a mars like landscape with tanks rolling across it, are you sure that's the right link?

Though why cant we have running units like the blue on in the bottom right corner.

Guesses on what those beam like thigns are going into those buildings? I suspect they're the new style nanospray or whetever supcom's calling them now.

wow, that's gotta be heck of a lot easier to render then nanospray

In one video (E3?) the commander can be seen building.
I looks like some blue laser "scanning" the building.

The buildings all look like modern skycrapers to me: lots of steel, glas and its all glowing. ( http://www.regionalhispaniccc.org/image ... _night.jpg )

They don't look really armored or like military buildings I think...

Shows what nearly every building/unit in that pic is.
The beams are not nanosprays.

Those energy beams are link-up bonuses: in supcom, clustering resource buildings yields higher output, at the risk of getting your shit nuked easier

That idea is something I was toying with earlier... damn it.

Hmmm... quite the similarity there...

Well we can't blame him, cuase it is a sequal to the last game. I don't care what people say, its basically a sequal.

He didn't make the mercury though, did he?

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 03 Aug 2006, 01:35

Good point... but I'm sure its an accidental resemblence.

Except that if it's too good of a sequel Atari will sue him for big monies.
