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)

Ever noticed that nobody cares ?

Another builder could have set it up and then walked away?

It takes too much micro for a ai to do!

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.

But no constructor is say around if I remember well and the commander aparear bulding it from a very early state.

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...

So no one else assumed that was a markenting trick to make the game look more dinamic and fast paced than it actual is?

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.

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.

at some point if you guys over quote it will dick with the forum.

I request a thread lock to stop the stupidity.

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...

I think it is important that we have arguments about game intro videos from 10 years ago.

OMG the starcraft intro is SO unlike the game its sux lozl
