Rip Off Of Total Anilation!!!

Do you have a free link to the trailer?

Its hard to call most RTS origonal and not a rip off considering the genre.
 
sry i dont know where else i got it off of fileplanet.. but.. they ripped off one of my favorite RTS
 
never played Total Annihilation.. but from what I tell this Supreme Commander is a battle on an entire world at once. Not just a section of the world at a time. Was Total Annihilation like that? From what I can tell Supreme Commander is MADE by the people that made Total Annihilation (or atleast a few of the creators worked on htis project, but this is from a fansite XD) and Total Annihilation looks like Command & Conquer :P (atleast from Screenshots) and ya.. RTS games are a lot alike in terms of gameplay it's just usually graphics/story/units that are different.
 
Oh god i'm gonna have to pick this up when it comes out. Total Annahilation was one of my favorites from back in the day. The only reason i stopped playing it was because it was soo hard to find people to play against over the internet. ;;

I expect many a night wasted with this.

Also i did a little research on this game and ign says that this game is a "spiritual sequel". Meaning that it is a sequel but... they dont own the rights to the Total Annahilation name and therefore are calling it Supreme Commander. For anyone that has played TA the units are very recognizable and therefore it can be assumed that the gameplay will be much the same. The big difference is how much crispier the graphics look and the Camera POV. In TA you get an overhead view and in SC u seem to get a more involved in the battle POV.

Heres a link for anyone who's interested.

I just finished an rts that truly is a rip off. LoTR, War of the Ring is a complete clone of starcraft and warcraft 3 with 3d graphics added. Amazing how much is identical in the gameplay. Copied the creep from the zerg, bunkers from the terran, heros work identical to w3, resources identical to vespane gas in sc, supply limit with farms, 3 weapon and armor upgrades per class just like starcraft, mind control ability to steal a char from sc, permanent invis usits which are clones of dark stalkers from sc, and it goes on and on. The only origonal things I could find in that were the improved unit selection (no 12 unit limit like starcraft) and attack move could be made the default move.
 
Um ok maybe if you would of done your homework this is another effort from the great people that brought you Total Annahilation. Also where were you almost a year ago when this was publically announced? Look at the trailer for this game, it is going to be great. I for one can't wait till it comes out. I will deffinatly have this game.
 
Isn't Command and Conquer the first (atleast one of) the first RTS genre games, Rones :P EVERYTHING COPIED C&C D: :P though I didn't know that about the LoTR game.. hmmm
 
I think the first Warcraft was out before the first C&C. I've played all those before and their all great. I loved Total Annahilation. :)
 
Total Annihilation is still one of my favorite RTS's.

Best thing I've ever experienced in any pc game is an army of Krogoth's marching towards your enemy's base, gat-blasting everything they can (and a buttload of things they cant) see. Krogoth on the front line and a few Buzzsaw's at your base, omgspooge.

Well... the sawblades with the gravity gun in HL2 was probably comparable to that. But nothing else!

Well... maybe the ending to F.E.A.R. too. But nothing else!

Well... maybe jumping out of the plane in G.R.A.W. too and seeing an entire city in 8x AA 16x AF. But nothing else!

Well...
 
actually I think Warcraft and C&C came out the same time :P 1995 I think

Soo true i once made a deal with a friend that we would play and we would both build til we had as many krogoth as we could get. like 12 hrs later we had roughly 240 krogoth each and had an all out war in the middle of the map. It was possibly one of the coolest things ever. I dont even remember who was winning but it was some awesome carnage. To end it we both sent our commanders out there and double killed eachother. In the end no krogoths were left alive and there were only a few krogoth factorys, some nuke plants and some metal extractors.
 
Dude, that sounds awesome! I totally gotta get my roomie in on Total A and pull that off... it must've been a chain reaction of nukes going off when they started blowing up, no? I think they do aoe when the die that hits other Krogoths for about 25% of their hp.
 
RTS Histroy. Genre started with Herzog Zwei in 1989 followed by Dune 2 in 1992. Then came Warcraft I in 1994, C&C in 1995, followed by Warcraft 2 later in 1995. So, no C&C didn't create the genre and neither did Warcraft.
 
One of the designers/programmers for Total Annihilation named Rick Smith who came up with and designed the whole Scouting/Recon of peoples bases or whatever (havent ever played the game) taught a bunch of my classes in College.
 
Oh man, I can't stop thinking about that game now.

You could build these tiny little bots called a 'flea'. These dudes are almost impossible to see on some maps due to their size & blending, and all they do is walk up to whatever you want and blow up.

You could also build air transport ships, capable of picking up any one unit (aside from Krogoth) and flying across the map at a speed relevant to the weight of their cargo.

You can imagine the awesomeness that ensued when I sent a platoon of about 50 flying fleas at my buddy. Ever since then he's focussed strongly on aerial defense for some reason...
 
Total Annihilation was awesome. I put a few hours into it. If this new game is anything like it I'll be happy.
 
I have played everything from Dune 2 and beyond.

Honestly I liked Dune 2 better than TA, and I still think Starcraft was the best out of all the RTS games I've played so far.

My top five rankings would be:
SC / BW
C&C
Dune 2
WC3
WC2
 
I like how Warcraft III brought hero/RPG like system for RTS. Made it very interesting and fun :P I agree with Rones about the LoTR being a total rip off pretty much. But it is fun to play the battle of minas tirith and battle of helms deep on maps really built for them (lolWarcraft III versions). Emperor: Battle for Dune was fun. I never played Dune 2 but it seems like Dune 2 with a different story and better graphics. Though the battles can get boring sometimes. C&C is prolly my favorite RTS series. But that's cause it has Renegade where it's FPS meets RTS and that's hawtness that I haven't seen anywhere else :3
