Official Thread - General Positive/Negative Feedback

[Delphi-PG]

We here at Petroglyph are very interested in hearing your feedback and suggestions after playing the demo/game. Remember that the demo is only a very small slice of Empire at War - there is much more in the final product that we didn't have room to show you in downloadable format. We will be watching all of the fan sites closely, and welcome you all to speak your mind (as long as you can keep it polite and constructive of course).

 

Lastly,  lets get another round of questions setup for the end of the week.

 

We hope you have loads of fun!

Delphi, are we doing 5 questions again, or will you entertain more this time?

[Delphi-PG]

I'll try too do both.

[Darth Tyrant]

At what time we are going to be able to download the demo?

[Teradyn_pff]

Don't bug Delphi about the Demo download. He probably doesn't have anything to do with the server setup and distribution at this point. It has been stated that it should be available around 11AM Central tomorrow, but there is no way that they can guarantee a time. Just watch the official site tomorrow starting 11 Central. Or you can watch here, because I am sure someone will post as soon as it is found.

The suspense, the pain of it all!!! I 'm like a hungy dog, I want it now! You know what, I've never been this excited about a C&C. Maybe it's because we're getting a small taster of a game made by legendary developers that gives this demo game massive appeal

[The Saint]

I got one complaint about the demo..it isnt available yet

[Guest]

OK, anyway, lets keep this thread clean for feedback only eh guys? We don't want to have to make Delphi's job harder by making him sift through all the pointless rubbish

-READ THIS-

 

Okay to prep everyone for the demo in 12 hours, if you want to post feedback, please post it in this forum:

 

http://pff.swrebellion.com/viewforum.php?f=3

 

This is where all demo related feedback should go, and please put it in the respectable thread.

 

Have fun And post away, in 12 hours that is.

Hey Delphi, If i send you a PM do you read or recieve them? If not where could I email it too, it is regaurding Game Design. I am a student and was hoping for some input from you. Thanks

[Cain]

Hi Delphi - nice move

 

Btw - Usually Delphi is not allowed to read new design ideeas in PMs or emails. PLs. read the comments next to the title of the feedback forum.

He can only read feedback. This is what Ismael said.

 

Yes guys for bugs and feedback use the feedback forum. It has been used before and all that feedback has been emailed to the devs in the past - but they usually see it here anyway.

 

I will try to make a feedback (no bugs) topic there too - but I assume it will spread all over the forums.

 

Also when you are posting feedback - make it as real and clear as possible so it will stick into the devs mind

So - just make sure that is short its clean and is not a bug. For the bugs we have the other topics.

[Nick2730]

sorry for not being clear, i ment game design as a field. I am studying game art/ design at the art institute of schaumburg and i wanted to ask delphi some questions about it like if he likes his job, where did he go, how did he break into the industry things like that

[WhiteSkull]

WOW this game is gona rock so much lol.

 

Ok after beating the demo i can say this is a hit, but.

 

problem one travel between planets is way tof ast, its a matter of seconds rather then taking days(gametime) like it should.

 

Units in ground battles die a little to fast IMO

 

Heros are really powerfull, but they can die pretty fast if your not watching (thats a good thing)

 

 

I am disapointed they disabled the AI so they just sit and wait

 

Game on fulll settings run soooo smooth as well.

[Wiking_pff]

AI disabled? Please tell more...

[Xyvik]

Was going to post this on the LucasForums but they are, unfortunately, not available at the moment. Which means this is the place I will post it.

 

Demo First Impressions

 

This covers the installation, menu, graphics, sound, and tutorials of the Empire at War demo. Please feel free to leave your comments on our forums or here.

 

I'll be busting the game apart to see what I can get ruining later

[Wiking_pff]

is the normal mission playable as Rebel only, or also Imperial?

[Nick2730]

The demo was ok, nothing to write home about. I am dissapointed as to how short it is with no ai interaction like someone earlier said. I was hoping this demo would put us off till the game comes out but its so simple i took like an hour on hard. I hope the AI in the game is significantly more challenging. The Blue lines around the map bugged the hell out of me so i rotated my map to get rid of it. The heat distortion made everything so blurry that i had a hard time distinquising lines so i turned it off. Not what i was hoping for but shows what the engine is capable of

[Nick2730]

is the normal mission playable as Rebel only, or also Imperial?

 

Only Rebels

[Xyvik]

I saw both Imperial and Rebel missions when I looked. I only played the first tutorial so I can't say for certain. I'll get more in-depth later.

[WhiteSkull]

It means the AI just sits on the galatic map it wont push your planet or build new fleets etc.. basicly you get 1 space battle and 1 land battle.

[Teradyn_pff]

Well, I guess they had to let us play the galactic mode without giving us enough to keep us from buying the regular game. I dunno. I know this isn't enough to hold me till feb 16th. More waiting and knashing of teeth.

[Nick2730]

yea tutorial wise you get both, but you only do what they say. Otherwise in the galactic conquest you only get rebels, its set up for only 1 space battle and 1 land

[Nick2730]

I like the smuggling and spying aspect, and the map is set up very nice. I can see the game has alot more depth then the demo is offering. Cant wait, i also love the hard point damage, when something blows up it literally breaks off. Plus the cinimatic mode is cool
