What do you thing will be the diferences between FAF vs PA

[LittleInferno]

Don't have anything specific to say except "OMG blow up planets booooooom! whheeeeee!", and "you think kickstarter is a viable business model for a production quality game?", though this seems to be not quite triple-A, but bigger than an indie game (*shrug*). Either way, seems that if you have a good idea, Kickstart is a way to gain capital and a fan-base (which I'm sure will double as beta-testers and on Steam :p)

Either-either way, im already play this game and its a blow!



Planetary Annihilation is a game that is basically the spiritual successor to one of the best RTS's ever made, Total Annihilation (and effectively its other spritual sequel, Supreme Commander and Forged Aliance).Where i think FAF still rule.

Where most RTS's today focus ever more on smaller and smaller scale conflicts and squad level tactics, what defined TA was HUGE armies of hundreds of units waging massive, metallic warfare on each other simultaneously over land, sea and air. Literally, unlike other RTS's, TA had a relatively flat tech tree and you could immediately start off building units for air, sea, and land battle.

my predictions to the future of PA still stand: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=3211

today, i would be even more pessimistic in my predictions, because PA has left me disappointed in almost every way: the graphics, the number of units, the individual units, the server performance, the planets, the gameplay, the music... PA is even worse than supcom 2.

to sum it up: kickstarter is great for people, who can market their stuff (a.k.a. promising almost everything and not keeping most of it).

i hope i am proven wrong and that your blinded enthusiasm will carry you into the golden age of RTS, but i just cannot see that happening!

there are no real disadvantages of faf, besides the lack of flowfield unit movement. in any other aspect, faf still rules.
even the new "replay system" in PA is not really good. it is not fluent but extremely laggy and uses tons of hard drive space! the idea is great, though.

It's alpha, all can still change (musics are placeholders,...).

What will stay more or less the same are the simple graphics.

there are no other players like you, or even people for that matter.

my thoughts - no FAF for you, I welcome you going to PA. good riddance
