  1. whoa! I just saw THIS video and Spore just looks awesome... I wish it had more space combat, with fleets and such, as it rather looks flat on that aspect, but the whole creature evolving system looks pretty darn good, I also found THIS older video where you can see some more stuff, though it's like a year old... Definately a worthy game! can't wait till September 7th...
  2. I think SteamWorks was a pretty smart move by valve. Right where they are right now, Steam can very well become the new standard if they keep on the right track (and knowing Valve, they most likely will). I've been a Steam user for a few years now and I can say it's definately a solid product, there's no other online distribution system I feel as confortable with, when it comes to paying... BTW I was wondering if Derek Smart's universe would ever make it to Steam, glad to hear there've been plans about it. And I suppose that now with the brand new SteamWorks on the way, we're a bit closer to seeing it in... Also, with the auto-updating system in Steam (which is an unbelievably transparent and unintrusive one) we can forget all about the tedious searching/Dling for patches. I also remember some old interview made to Gabe Newell(Co-foundator of Valve), when he was asked if they would turn in to the "Games for Windows" scam, for their future titles, and what he said he thought was pretty much what SC said from the developer side of making "Games for Windows". But he also said that if it ever became widely used they would end up fitting it in... Seems they decided to turn the table and go straight for the big guns! and if there's someone right now who can arrange something like that, that's Valve!. Personally I think MS is gradually capping PC gaming overall, in benefit of their millionaire franchise, which is console gaming. They think computers should only be used to view photos, websites, and whatnot, and if you wanna play games... Well then buy yourself a gaming console, look here, we have multiple buying options, will you use a CC? just ridiculous... but that's right where we're going if no one does anything about it, I hope Valve can pull this out (cause they're just not some greedy bastards unlike other companies).
  3. thanks for the replies, I just bought UCCE online and hope to be playing shortly... oh and: If he takes that long to come up with a name, I just can't imagine how long he'll take to read the tut and manual. LOL I, myself find learning an new game the most enjoyable part of it, I always try to get to know every aspect in it. And with a game like this... I'm gonna get a pretty good challenge... XD
  4. Hi all! I just joined the forums! I had never heard of the BC series before, but recently I discovered UC due to it being highlighted at the fileplanet weekly newsletter, and I thought, well... must be another space sim, so I gave it a try... Whoa was I wrong! At first I just launched the game as soon as it got downloaded, and attempted to go and try to get some basic control skills, so I loaded up a roam scenario, seeing there was no tutorial option... My first glance at the HUD got me quite a bit confused(a bit like this guy but without the stupidity). So I quit the game and started reading the tut and manual... Now after a couple of weeks playing non-stop(in my little free time) I have to say I just fell in love with it! The depth found in it just astonished me from the start. I've been looking around in Spain for a boxed copy of UCSE and it's not that easy to find. I suppose I'll just have to buy an online copy at D2D.
