47 min video about EAW from E3 (by Nick)

[Cain]

I don't know how ?! - but this news has just sliped right under our own noses without seeing it ... who manages to download the movies first pls. describe all that you hear and all the new materials you see.

 

Nick - MEMW Forums:There were also a few points that didn’t make it into any of the footage, and those are:

- The game is being coded using XML. So chances are it’ll be easier to mod than C&C: Generals or LOTR: The Battle for Middle-Earth.

- The reason the release date was bumped until next year, is that although the game will be finished this year. LucasArts wants Empire at War to be the most polished RTS game of all time, thus to give more polish time is why the release date was pushed to next year.

- The map making tools that’ll be included with the game are about the same as the Worldbuilder with C&C: Generals and LOTR: The Battle for Middle-Earth. The main difference is it’ll be easier to texture the maps with Empire at War’s tool.

- One idea for multiplayer is that you can play a sort of Universe Mode where by you select how many planets are available to control and you duke it out against your opponent or opponents to see who could control the custom universe. This can also be used to customize your own Singleplayer campaign as well.

Nick - MEMW Forums: The short version is 7 minutes long, and contains most of the information available in the long version. The long version is everything I taped in the LucasArts booth, the footage is primarily the same demo being played over and over again, however each time a different person would control the game with a new person talking about it. Therefore even though it is the same demo, you do see and hear different things. If you are highly interested in the game, then the long version is what you’d like to see; if you are only slightly interested then the short version is all you need to see.

I heard the guy specificly say in it that the min requirements for running the game is only a 1 gig computer, and if i heard right, correct me if i'm wrong, but only a gforce 3. Great news for the lower ended gamer! For all of u out there wondering what the min specs are.

[Foshjedi2004]

Polishing is good. Can't wait for it now! So what polishing wil they be doing?

[Joshinator]

I'm not sure. At one point in that E3 clip, sounded like they still had ballancing issues to take care of. (when that AT-AT walked through the energy shield the guy mentioned they were still ballancing) Other then that who knows, but I'm glad they're taking there time to make it perfect.

[Foshjedi2004]

Have To agree there Joshinator. Some of the Clips seemed a bit poor in terms of continuity and everything.

I had the same problem but Cain told me after I register to look down to the links that are for free.

[superdestroyer89]

o thanx man a lot

[Ghostly_Substance]

I think people only have windows media player right ? I have winamp which is a regular and trusted player and it played those videos without a problem. Wolf and some other guy had that problem since they only have windows media player. Thought that might help if still problems

[Cain]

The videos only run on Win Media Player 10. You have to download that too.I think they use a new sort of file called vmw.

[Zerogravity]

that polovnik b**ch uses winamp instead of wm10 to play the vids

[Ghostly_Substance]

it runs smoothly and it works the best For most videos anyways, if its a movie i use DivX

[Foshjedi2004]

Yup DIVX is the best for Movies. Actually a DVD player with Surround sound is the best but lets not go there guys.

[Ghostly_Substance]

I dont have a real dvd player so I had to get myself a trial version.

[Foshjedi2004]

Ah

That could be a problem.

[Ghostly_Substance]

Ya when tryign to watch movies so I just end up using my laptop (if it behaves) or dvd player or PS2. I was going to say something, forgot what.

 

edit: This forum has a bug, its saying theres a new message but its me who leaves them messages. Could you fix this ?
