Master of Orion Remake ? :O

/Rant

Fucking anthropocentric garbage. Galactic stock exchange, lmao, what a joke. ARRRRRRGH.

And I am pretty sure each race takes part in this shit, and is only diff through some modifiers and maybe some economic factors, like silicoid mineral consumption etc. I know that this is a MoO1v2, but still, with each 4X I hope for developers who read some of the more intricate SciFi books. Yet we get the same Space is like earth, but with furries and reptiles crap.

These Bulrathi looks like they were meant to be Russians from the very beginning.

 

[Trash]

Actually looks better than I expected. Do dig AI leaders having a personality type. Been too long since I saw something like that implemented.

 

[mastroego]

You mean advertised?
Keeping an eye on this anyway.

They said the Ship upgrade sceen may change as it's early alpha

 

[SmartCheetah]

Would be lovely to see what upgrade actually changes. And even better if you could retrofit it into something lil different (If eg. you wanted to create 3 types of the same ship with different armaments or stuff)

 

[whatevername]

1st mod for this game will be the deletion of retarded alien models from all screens except diplomacy.

In action aliens are better. And the overall style of video is good.

Ship combat is atrocious

Ship combat is atrocious

It looked like some kind of autoresolve to me, tbh.

 

[Trojan_generic]

The Darlok looks like the Russian biatch from Mass Effect.

 

[Space Satan]

Ah, seems like they showed simulated combat only, and said tactical will be shown later.

 

[Grotesque]

the combat is so engaging!

 

[RayF]

GNN jumps the shark

 

[CRD]

Can't look worse, seriously, between the creepy crappy voices with micropauses to add dynamically the traits, the generic 4x gameplay shown -wth is that combat- and the cartoony graphics my hype have completely dissappeared.

Looking forward to stellaris, GC3 evolution or if we are lucky Distant Worlds 2 unless this changes a lot.

Some Q&A:
Q: Tactical Battles:
A: They are definetely in and will play an important part in MoO

Q: Will there be a planet\colony picture
A: Player can observe planes from three points: traditional - from the star map, close-up, where planet oribiting a star and nearby planets\sattelites and moons are shown, and finally a closeup of a colony management with buildings interface. Directly planet surface are shown only during colonization.

Q: Will there be antiTerraformation if races prefer different condition
A: Some races could change planets to some margin, improve the biomes but that counts as terraforming.

Q: Custom races?
A: Yes. But race picture and model could only be based on exiting models due to shift from 2D pictures to 3D.

Q: Will research be different from MoO2?
A: Yes, new MoO fill feature a new research system that took some aspect from previous iterations. It'll look like a branching tree.

Q: What new features to expect?
A: A lot of small changes. Each game function have been analized and tweaked in some way. For example player could expect AI races to behave like their archetype\background and story. Economy, for example, saw only minor changes from MoO1 and MoO2, yet some new features have been added, like gas giants and asteroid bases, ability to "unite economy of several planets", etc.

Q: Will there be governors and fleet leaders?
A: We like the idea.

Q: Will MoO be ported into tablet platforms?
A: Will be decided later after initial PC release.

Q: What is the level of old MoO team involvelemt?
A; All major decisions should be approved by original 5-man team. Regular communications via mail, skype and some who leave near Austin visit the studio often for consultations. For example art director (Jeff Dee) changed a lot in race leaders' apearance.

A: Will be decided later after initial PC release <- AKA yes.

ok, game is almost officially dead, only a miracle can turn over the constant leak of bad news.

At least they're honest.

In a just world MoO would be well suited for a tablet without any need to compromise the game. I'll keep hoping.

The problem with this is that all of the major tablet platforms have incompatible development platforms. Shockingly, Microsoft tablets are the best-suited for video game adaptations.

What does this even mean? Are they in or not? FFS why can't shovelware devs ever give straight answers.
