Re: SE V Video on 3dGamers
Slick, you'll probably need the latest DivX codec. You can get it from http://www.divx.com/divx/play/download/.

Re: SE V Video on 3dGamers
Make sure to just get the codec, not their highly annoying media player... It is worse than WIMP.

Re: SE V Video on 3dGamers
I'm going thru the video, pausing at every step to see details and it sure looks like there are LOTS of things that are either revealed outright or hinted at by looking at the screens. I'll post a list of my observations soon.

Re: SE V Video on 3dGamers
Bah. Too many stats screens to be useful. Camera control isn't very smooth, I noticed. And tactical ground combat seems overly complicated, unless there's some kind of shortcut for the attack and goto commands.
Nice space combat too. Can it be paused again after you've set it off.

Re: SE V Video on 3dGamers
Why bother with groundcombat for a 4X game if it's made for simpletons.Complex is good.

Re: SE V Video on 3dGamers
Hey guys, thats not really SE V! Its a copy cat game made to lure you into a trap where they steal your soul by sucking you into an ultra real universe of 4x gaming. Your lifes will forever be changed if you watch this, like a boats of old lured to there deaths on the rocks of some fabeled island.

Re: SE V Video on 3dGamers
There's a difference between complexity and depth. For a start, depth is good, complexity is bad. For another, making goto and attack commands a two-click process instead of a one-click process is needlessly complicating the interface. Of course, it's odds-on that the maker of the video chose to use the most long-winded method, as all such promo videos do.
Possibly because they wanted to attract the market segment that had to use a command-driven interface with a text-parser written by a non-native dyslexic for so long that they convinced themselves that they liked pain. Or maybe not; it's a mystery.

Actually, it is. That video has a lot of frames deleted for file size considerations.

It wouldn't be a 4X game if you couldn't.

Wondering, will there be beam weapons?
Sure. You can see them in some screen shots here and there:
