Nah, I prefer to be civilian...

Looking at the Slitherine/The Aristocrats combo, I would expect it to be decent, but in no way great.

Slitherine as a publisher has not too many totally failed games, but The Aristocrats have developed nothing, but Order of Battle games, which are heavily based on old Panzer General games and their subsequent remakes, so I would be surprised, if they were able to create a really good and innovative RTS.

Omg I loved that movie as a kid XD. Good chance that I'll suck at the game, but I'll probably buy it just for the nostalgia value.

I remeber watching that movie as a kid and wondering why were they playing american football in school instead of rugby if it was supposed to take place in Buenos Aires, also they used the name of a real football soccer team which made it even weirder to me. Then as the movie went on it clicked that it was supposed to be kind of absurd and exaggerated and I stopped questioning the oddities.

Shame I'm not into RTSs, back to EDF I go!

Love the movie, but... does this game look like 1997 to anyone else?
Hopefully it's actually built on code from 1997 that was found recently or something. I'm watching the trailers on mobile though, and generally pessimistic about promotional videos of anything, so don't let my negative reaction ruin your excitement -- there could be a movie script worthy campaign in there for all I know!

Random trivia: the alliance soldiers in the show Firefly are wearing Starship Troopers armor!

[edit] Watching the rebroadcast of the announcement Twitch stream. Still shots look better, so I think I agree with the thread on Steam that addresses the graphics, that it's more the animations that aren't looking so hot. A dev clarifies that the graphics are still alpha in the trailers though, and being worked on. Hopefully with some additional post-processing and overhaul of the animations it'll give a better impression before release.

Liking the diversity and specialty focus of the units that are being explained in the stream though. I'm more optimistic, with hearing about their focus on gameplay. Story... not hearing many details apart from the setting. Only play as Federation -- fine with that, but on hearing it, I'm even more disappointed with the AI/animation; the bug swarms -- being only under computer control -- should imho be much faster than the trailer shows. Single-player focus -- imho, awesome! Wishing the game success... and a slightly better animation budget!

My gameplay assumption was also pure RTS, but it seems to be more of a Tower Defense / Survival RTS thing. [/edit]

No, thanks. I prefer stormtroopers.
