New Title Screen = SE5 Ideas

[Kevin Arisa]

I must say that the new title screen is awesome. If SE5 gameplay will look just like the title screen, there is no question as to if I will buy it or not! Just seeing it triggers my already active imagination. Tactical combat could still use 2D bitmaps in a 3D battlefield. Doing it that way would keep it easy to make shipsets. 3D model compatablity can be a pain. What do the rest of you guys think? Do you think the new SE4 title screen depicts a good SE5 tactical combat?

Starfury is basically the combat system in larval stage, as i understand it.

It looks very beautiful. In fact, when i saw it, my very first comment to my associate was: "wow that's pretty!" - especially the shield action. Very impressive.

One thing i have always longed for is a truely scaleable wargame, where you can be anything from the supreme high commander making all the calls, to a lowly guy-with-a-gun on a battle field fighting off the invading enemy (or invading yourself, of course), or a fighter pilot, a star ship pilot, or whatever, all in first-person view. This looks like a step in that direction, which is most cool.

Some people try to make this game. Look at the Battlecruiser 3000 series. It doesn't play very well.

Yeah, I agree, SE5 should be like SE4 with a gameplay and graphic upgrade, but no more.

SE V should be a lot more than SE IV. Of course more sometimes means less when it comes to game design.

Right now Aaron has a list with over 5,000 suggestion just on this forum alone. God only knows how many he has in his text files at home.

SE IV is a great game, a game that is as popular today as it was nearly 4 years ago when it came out. Not very damn many games can say that now can they?

So SE V will be warmly received by fans, but torn to shreds soon afterward as is the case with all sequals to very popular games.

Our jobs will be to play the game and enjoy it. A job that I do look forward to doing.

i think if you accept that it's not going to be seivg v2 and simply try to play sev on it's own merits, well, AH does have a history of making good games.
