We have excited to present the first trailer for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion!
Via GameSpy:
Lol again very nice but you guys gotta be faster next time on the annoucements. It is already on youtube and made a forum post of it.
Also did I see corvettes running around the Athena Titan?
Sweeeeet! Great to see cinematics added to the Sins Repertoire. Definitely adds a new flavor to sins in general. Epic!
Really looking forward to Rebellion!
Very cool. If thats all in game its a great improvement.
Is that an in game cut scene I see or just a revised intro? Grand campaign or missions anybody?
Heck it could be that we now get cut scenes for planet invasions and the like.
Doubtful. More of a new opening cut scene like the rest of the expansions.
funny I do not remember any new opening cut scenes for the other expansions. But then I do usually skip them after the first watch.
What phases me is while that colony ship looks big. It looks nowhere near the size you would need to get enough people down to colonise a planet with enough men to actually expand quickly. I mean the 1000 people or so depicted are going to take centuries to colonise a planet. The ship just does not look large enough.
There is a cutscene for all three thus far. Start whatever version of the game you want to see the scene for, go to Options, Cinematic, and check the box for Show Opening Cinematic... Quit the game and run it again and you'll get to see it. Of course, there are other ways to see it but this is the least technical method.
I liked this little vid, but the Titan's shot just looked weak. I'll have to get Krdax working on a new particle for me for that one.
They've said no story / grand campaign like the others, it is supposed to be a bigger expansion. Seems like just a CG trailer to me (not in game or anthing)
The trailer is OK, but i think it needs more impact with ingame massive battles with titans.
Well I hope it will be a HUGE expansion anyway
Very nice!
I did like the look of the Kol's shadow on the argonov starbase. It is looking good, keep up the good work, Stardock.
This is just the teaser trailer.
while i too imagined the colony ship to be larger, it's possible it is "colonizing" an inhabited world (they all have militia) and just bringing administrators to bring it under control. like how India was a British colony (as opposed to to the US).
it could also be a shuttle identical to the larger version because the TEC was a bit rushed when the Vasari and Advent invaded (we never see them land in-game).
but yeah, i really like this.
Awesome!!
Does anyone else feel that the Kols front Cannons need to be changed to be more in line with the way the Star base Beam Arrays are? I don't like how there are Four cannons that should only be able to fire in a direct line but they do not. they can fire in a 180 degree arc. To me, those Cannons need to be replaced with the ones on the Star base the U shaped ones to better match its firing arcs. those would be better looking I think. anyone else disagree?
Yeah, the Kol just won't be the Kol without it. I don't know how you could stick cannons that big on a turret on the front of the ship not look ridiculous.
umm, the US was populated before it was "colonized" too...
I agree with your general point though. It seem like the planets were already populated before whichever power "colonized" it just imposed their will on them. in fact part of the whole strategy the Vasari use is using humans on planets they conquer as slave labor, setting themselves up in floating cities to separate themselves from the general population. In history, even when colonizers wiped out the previous populations, they did so over centuries, using them for their knowledge and labor in the mean time
thats not an invasion, look at the people, they are walking towards the ship
Correct. They are marching like soldiers not civilians. They are loading up onto the ship and will likely invade a planet once they reach their destination.
Of course as you say they may just be marching to the ship to clean it and then get right off again?
P.S. Can we have supply lines like I have used recently in wargame: european escalation. It changes the game a lot to have to resupply?
Then again with ships as huge as that coloniser (not), I guess they will never need resupply. Put them into cryosleep and wake them up when needed. I have certainly hated it how a ship can stay on station indefinitely blockading a planet while all its lines behind are cut. Also RAIDs should be limited by captured and provided supply lines.
actually if you look on the kol especially in this trailer.
you can see a cyclinder behind the gauss guns for rotation.
Its Beautiful! PEW PEW PEW! I WANT! [e digicons]:')[/e]
Just looking at a Vasari titan ship. It fits with their other ships. But it will put me off playing them.
It just does not look like a super capital ship but rather a giant flower or slow moving space turret.
Just play the other faction with the different Titan?
Just let me have that Vasari fleet. MUST HAVE THE DARK FLEET!!!!
Mmmmm CG! I love it
Now I wonder if ANY of those shots where in game? Anyone know?
Its just CG but the game is going towards looking like that. We just need more CPU cores and it won't be a problem after the new engine is finished.
