Sure. You can see them in some screen shots here and there

Oh, cool, hadn't noticed that ;D

I dislike the compression they used. Makes the game look like a cheep Nintindo 8bit system game.

Nice.

Does this mean the game is nearly done.A media push suggests this.

No, but the retail release of SEIV is coming up some time next month.

Let's hope nobody gets the two confused LOL... I mean SE4 is a great game but if you're expecting a graphical treat along the lines of SE5, well it might be a bit of a disappointment

For the "jerkiness," I was talking about rotating and panning and such. But some of it is a result of using the mouse wheel, which is not a smooth, continuous operation. Much of the jerkiness stems from having to move the finger on and off the wheel.

The next few months on the forums are going to be very interesting...

OMG... did I just see the bolts fired by a Jraenar ship hit a CueCappa base and cause its rotation to alter in a REALISTIC way as it blew up???

That looked like the standard Starfury-style death to me..

Hey! I happened to like the original 8bit NES!

But yeah, the compression left a bit to be desired... cutting down what I'm assuming was 1024x768 resolution to what looks like 640x420, and making everything look fuzzy in the process. Then the temporal compression left parts of the video and ghosts for a second or so after a "scene switch". It would have been a little better I think if they cut down a bit more of the color depth, had 800x600 rez, and let the file size get to around 200MB to kill the temporal effects.

But it's still cool.

It looked like there were a lot of explosions being caused by non-visible projectiles (at least non-visible int he video). Perhaps the visible projectiles were actually missiles?
