SEV How's it look?

AgentZero · #1 November 8th, 2005, 04:14 PM

Well, keeping in mind that one must respect both the letter and the spirit of the NDA, I ain't answering nothing. The SE5 NDA looks a heckuva lot like the one I got for SE4, and Aaron was quite clear back then that we weren't to discuss anything without running it past him first. Although I just took the easy route and cackled madly whenever asked about it. So in that vein, Bwahahahahaha!
Incidentally, I forgot my SE5 beta CD at home so I've been SE-less for the better part of three weeks now. For those of you considering giving up SE, I'd recommend strongly against it. The withdrawl is just unpleasent. And I mean unpleasent in the same sense that one would say, the sun is a bit hot.

Iron Giant, have you seen the 3D Gamers preview video?

Even better, check out these sites that have gathered much publically available info:

You can't tell that much about a game from screen shots. And of course the NDA precludes us from talking about specifics. But Aaron wouldn't mind if I told you this:

SEV is going to rock.

This isn't just some hope based on Malfadors past performance. As beta tester I can see the game and it's potential. I can honestly say that I will be very suprised if anyone who is a fan of SEIV will be dissapointed by SEV. It's definetly going to be worthy of the mantle of Space Empires.

I'm sure this won't make it any easier on you to hear this, since you still have to wait on the game. But it's hard for me to wait to be able to talk about it. I think it's that good.

Cool. Sounds like the only fear is that Strategy First might screw something(s) up.

The kwok site is great, thats the type of list I'm looking to have confirmed.

All the screenshots everywhere are the same though. Been there, seen them. Not nearly enough screenshots available.

I can't seem to get that video though, is it good?

Is it still scheduled for February?

Thanks.

I've actually been meaning to update the list for the last little bit, maybe I'll get to that. I do have to get MM's clearance before I can post updates though.
