Earth 2160
« on: March 22, 2004, 11:43:32 pm »
[color=ff7700]Over at Inside Earth there are screenshots of the upcoming RTS game Earth 2160. A small demonstration:



Looks pretty impressive, the only thing I know of wich compares is Ground Control 2.
Is anybody here familiar with its predecessor Earth 2150 btw?[/color]

Looks good.
But I hope this quality pictures can be taken by everyone with a decent computer for the game, and without lag. In other words: One screenshot does not prove a game to be very good qua graphics.

But tell me, what kind of game is this?

From the looks of it the image above is not a true ingame screenshot ..

[color=ff7700]It's been pretty much established & confirmed that those are actual ingame screenshots.

other screens:

There isn't much real info about the gameplay, except battles will be relatively small scale compared to the previous game, Earth 2150. It it's anything like it's older brother though, this game is going to rule.[/color]

not to rattle any cages, but I have to admit they look too perfect to be ingame ... suspect they are ingame altered a bit by 3dmax ....  but if they are actual ingames, then I will take everything back and state as before that the game looks XCLNT !!!!!

[color=ff7700]I suppose that they may have sexed up that pic, still the other ones look awesome. Plus it's only in the alpha stage.

About the last screenshot, the background is render art, it's been shown a few months earlier. The soldiers and the mech are ingame models though.[/color]

[color=ff7700]Another screenshot, and I'd bet my money on it that it is ingame. I'd wish they'd give us more information about the game though.[/color]

[color=ff7700]They do seem to be good to be true, but the company itself has said that they're ingame and besides, if it's just render art they rendered the same units and buildings over and over again, wich would be odd.

They uploaded more screenshots at www.insideearth.de
If they are made in 3dmax, then that must be about all they do.[/color]

[color=ff7700]I think the explosions were modified with Photoshop or something, they just don't seem to fit in. Afterall the engine is still in alpha stage .

Possibly they haven't fully thought out the interface yet and thought it wouldn't look good on the screenshots, or it could be the replay mode that should come with it.[/color]

Bump

Lot's of new stuff added at www.e2160.com and www.earth2160.com since I last posted.

Btw Gryphon, it was revealed that the screenshot I posted was partially photoshopped, so I'll be content with receiving only half of your money.
