OT_ MOO3

Baron Munchausen · #1 October 26th, 2002, 04:55 AM

There was a new "Developer's Diary" discovered on Gamespy before it was supposed to be officially released, and it had some nice screenshots of combat. For some reason this was removed after word of its discovery was posted on the Official MOO 3 Boards.

The link on the official MOO3 site is even cut off now. And its original publications date, Last Sunday, has passed but it has not reappeared. Guess they were upset at the early release by a snooping web browser.

It's been over a year since the Last Dev Diary on MOO3. Hopefully this will be reposted soon. Keep an eye on Gamespy.

I dunno...the screens aren't as sci-fi as I would have expected. Maybe the design/colors just keep reminding me of the 70s.

Or maybe I was spoiled by the Imperium Galactica II interface. heh heh

::edit::
Heck, even Galactic Civilization's screens appeal to me more:

Of course, as always, it's a matter of preference.

Yeah! But MOO never has been about the grafix's. Or atleast not as much as other factors in the game!

Update from Chantz
Hi Folks,

Yes, it's been a while, just wanted to give you a quick update.

*The release date for MOO3 has been moved back to 12/4.*

*We're probably going to go gold this Friday or sooner* - i'll make an announcement here when it does.

You'll see EB and the like retool their dates over the next few days.

I know some of you are going to be upset, but understand, we want to release a thoroughly enjoyable, bug free Single Player AND Multiplayer gaming experience. Right now, we have a couple of late game crash bugs in MP that *have* been nailed; we just need some more time to test.

Most of our external testers feel that the game can ship as it stands now. However, we care about all the MP players out there (and there are a lot of you), so we're doing it right. This make all of us (QSI, our internal testers and external testers) very happy.

Be thankful that we are NOT rushing this out the door So hang tight and be cool...we're almost done!

Best,
Constantine

The only that really bugs me about the graphical part in MOO3 is that the resolution is FIXED at 800x600.

I hope they release a patch soon, or someone finds a way to get it higher cos 800 is...well..small. I haven't played a TBS game in 800 for years, higher resolutions give you a much better overview of your empire, and everything looks sharper too.

Lemmy,
Go over to the officail website and toss in the suggestion!

Nah, this has been suggested before, i'd just get the usual response that it isn't about graphics, and that worse graphics means a better game...or at least something like that...
