I think it should be noted that a lot of the sentai series use that sort of 3D font.

Intro to the best RTS I've ever played

TOTALLY BLASPHEMOUS LINE ALERT!!!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Total Annihilation
Released on 1997 by the now defunct Cavedog. Spiritual prequal to Supreme Commander.
[trivia1: TA was released one year before Starcraft, and yet a lot of people call TA a Starcraft-wannabe]
[trivia2: Music by Jeremy Soule. Totally. Epic. Music. And that's a given, but it also fits the style and scale of the game.]

stuff

What the hell is so blasphemous about saying TA >>>>>>>>>>> SC?

Starcraft was fucking crap. Okay, it was a decent RTT. Decent.

Total Annihilation, on the other hand. Is amazing. Always has been amazing. I THOUGHT THIS WAS COMMON KNOWLEDGE BY NOW ARE YOU SAYING PEOPLE STILL HAVEN'T COME TO TERMS WITH THIS UNIVERSAL TRUTH!?

Anyways SupCom, the spiritual successor to TA... not as good as TA, but not bad. It needs a lot of rebalancing and I think GPG are still reworking the game balance.

doesn't matter though, all I need is me TA. Playing a game offline right now actualy, just alt+tabbed to look at the boards. TIME FOR BIG BERTHA SPAM

It's more along the lines for people that think SC is the greatest RTS of all time and that've (probably) never played/heard of TA before. Thus, to those people, someone saying TA>SC would be blasphemous. Example: I remember reading the posts of this one CnC chauvanist, saying CnC beat all other RTS's on the market and even sparked a few flame wars in the process (how someone thinks CnC is the best RTS is beyond me; maybe when it first came out yes, but now...)

Yes.

Proof: If TA got the proper advertisement/recognition when it was released ten years ago and became more widely known in the gaming community, TA would've swept the market clean of RTS's for at least a year. Instead of having millions of Starcraft fanatics worldwide, we'd have millions of TA fanatics. The modding community for TA would've exploded, with a freaking market full of mods that consist of everything from alternate races to ultimate weapons of mass destruction (not nukes; units like the Krogoth, Karganeth and Cyberoth designed to strike phear in the hearts of your enemies) and battlerooms around the clock. Hell, there probably would've been a team of ultimate daredevil modders that, after 5 years of demonic pacts, heavenly miracles, and thousands of wars, broken the unit and weapon ID caps and made stable versions of them [unit/weapons ID's are different than units; the engine can only support so many unit ID's before crashing due to limits; this effectively means there could be several different races at once with hundreds upon hundreds of units per race with custom weapons per unit] and resulted in a gigantic evolution in TA.

huh? are we talking about the same game? have you seen the TA community in its f ullest? ^^

and I'm not just talking about Spring... though it seems like lately with SupCom and Spring all the new TA stuff iscoming out solely on spring =/

I mean I like what clan Sy has done with the 3d engine... but.... nothing beats classic TA. the style is just amazing for something that doesn't even need a graphics card.
I get the feeling you've never heard of tauniverse or file universe or some of the old unit dbs (though in the past few years it's getting harder and harder to find unit db's =/) but... at least for half a decade, TA had a thriving community. still does. well except for Spring and SupCom taken a lot of attention, as I've said...

*shrug* maybe I'm just not understanding your point
i mean sure the community never got as big as blizzard but hey it's not like there's a lot of depth to blizzard games, that's now how they got where they are. heh.

Actually, I have seen it. But I also have the feeling it could've be a LOT bigger if people didn't pay so much attention to Blizzard and their second-rate games.

But yeah, put simply: NOTHING beats the original.

What's a topic? Is that like a pudding? I like pudding.

ALSO we were just discussing the awesomeness of the TA intro jeez.

Just remembered this one scene.

Most. Epic. Non-action scene. Ever.

Note how true this guy's words are, even today. Only someone like this can create such awesome response.

Trivia: this dude won an Oscar for this movie, if only because of this scene.

Have you seen the movie, Network?

Anyways Peter Finch won that Oscar award. One of a few Australian actors I think to have won it, he also won it posthumously (and It hink is the only actor to have ever won that award posthumously) since he died while promoting the movie.

Wow, that was pretty cool. It's funny how older movies like these can relate to similar issues we have in today's society...

I'm amazed someone uploaded this. Unfortunetely, it's in English (and god, I can't find a Japanese dubbed version anywhere).
