WH mod looks better than the expansion

[Wakim]

At least the SoB units look a lot better: http://pogs.free.fr/WH/WH_Units.pdf

I`m downloading the mod as i`m typing

[kenshin620]

yup, I played it. There was a space marine next to my canoness and while the marine was blurred, my sister was pixil perfect

Hey, can't blame DoW.
They aren't an MMO, much less an MMO like EVE.
They don't get HD Model / HD Texture overhauls.

[Wakim]

But they should!


They really should!

They themselves launched a similar game with a lot nicer graphics

My crystal ball says DoW SS will have poor sales, especially that it has the same estimated launch date as the holies of holies (Starcraft 2) which everybody with a crave for fun schi-fi rts will be buying. Unless they have a distinct hate for Blizzard

[Ion Raptor]

I'll buy it just because it will have DE and the SoB in a new campaign......as well as new units for the others.

but at the end of the day I'll just wait until the WH mod replaces the relic models with their own and releases it

[Templar Mikeel]

The WH mod team has spent 3 years so far making this mod. However, that's with everything going on in their lives. The Relic team has only 1/2 or 1/3 the time, but it's their job. I think that Relic could do a lot better on their models considering what a team of 3-5 people can do. I think I'll only end up buying SS because it'll have more content(campaign and maps), and that's what all the mod related stuff will be released for.

[Wakim]

That and the fact that the relic (and now ironlore) teams are actually paid 'profesionals'

Dunno if i`ll buy SS right off the bat (but i will be playing it!)

But i can tell you this: I will be buying Starcraft 2

What are you talking about?

[Torquemada Coteaz]

Oi I'm willing to help if you wanna make an RTS and set a standard? :P

(RTS industry: "updated graphics" = new game that costs you another 70$, but plays like the old one, just takes more system Req and looks a tad bit shinier. Ref: SupCom, C&C3, SC2, etc)

[Wakim]

Um, SupCom: THE EXPANSION looks better than SupCom: ORIGINAL VERSION

*forgot the expansion`s name so i had to improvise

PS You chose bad examples since those are ne editions of really old games so they look A WHOLE LOT shinnier


PPS Yeah, about that, people won`t loan me 40 million bucks to make uber games

[Torquemada Coteaz]

lol
RTS's i'm not fond of making them.
FPS and even RPG are much easier to make.
the logistics of not only PLAYING RTS games is horrible, but the behind-the-scenes stuff too.

SupCom the expansion didn't do much to the game though, probably optimized the shaders/bloom effects a bit and maybe hi-rez'd the textures a bit.

[Wakim]

BUT it DID something

That was my point :P

It`s a friggin start

[Torquemada Coteaz]

I suppose :P
but, being that SoulStorm isn't RELIC, there's no way they'd even up the texture by 1% :P

[Wakim]

I light another candle to the hope that relic is moding CoH into DoW2 :X

I know it`s pointles
