Supreme Commander

This upcoming game has gotten my attention recently. When checking out their site I've gotten quite eager. Made by Gas Powered Games, I think it'll be a great game, at least from the first impressions I got. The game intro (HD) which can be found on Gametrailers.com is quite interesting (and good-looking). This is one I'll have to keep an eye out for..... ACHH!!! *again punches away carrion birds!*

Discuss! :P

Deleted line... forgot TW is not to be discussed in The Arena.

Some references would be nice. Reviews, previews, links to video, homepage etc.

Gamers are a lazy people!

I've read quite a bit of feedback from people in the Beta who say that contrary to the hype, it's pretty much exactly like Total Annihilation with little innovation or changes to that. And very lacking on the multiplayer side of the game.

I suspect it will be an average game that gets hyped up as the best thing since sliced bread until the professional reviews come out.

What is innovative about Supreme Commander is that everything is done on a huge scale. The smaller maps are modled i believe to about 30 square kilometers and there could be easily thousands of units fighting simultaneously. You can also zoom from right where a small skirmish is too the whole map where you make large strategc moves.

Well, one innovation is that you can zoom out until you see the entire map.
Apart from that, I'm not sure, the three factions seem mostly equal, the super units all have the same super weapon which is some beam of destruction that simply kills anything it touches.
That is from what I have seen in the beta so far, didn't play it that often, the games can take a few hours and it's quite hard to get one starting properly.
