Planetary Annihilation

Hey guys have you checked out Planetary Annihilation yet?

I made a tutorial recently and I'm getting into it quite a bit!

After playing SupCom 1 this new game looks so horrible I can't even watch it.

Is the game out yet? That video left me confused.

In any case it looks like all the bad parts of Supreme Commander 1 are back such as stupid resource flows and non-upgrading units. I highly doubt the viability of navy unless they provide transporters with better AI than Supreme Commander 1/2 that can move them across planets. Also they need to move away from the commander being the centre of it all as everyone just snipes him out to win (the poor AI does not stand a chance in this mode).

I am a huge fan of TA but PA looks boring. Lots of stuff i dislike...

By the looks of the videos it was made on a shoe string budget. Even Supreme Commander 1 had better graphics and that is saying something.

True. I do not care much about the graphics though. The main problem with PA is the horrible UI, the strange balance and the featureless terrain.

Indeed it is running off about 2M.

While I do really like the game, the models themselves ruin the experience for me a bit, mainly because I prefer a sense of realism rather than seeing what looks like a bunch of "legos" fighting each other. Really curious as to why they decided to have designs like that
