Master of Orion IV

[tgb]

Well... It is still early access guys... who knows what they'll add in as they go..... hopefully.....

You're right - no one  knows.  Which is why it's prudent to hold out (although it's been a little tough for me this weekend).

I jumped in myself...haven't played much yet, but what the heck...willing to give it a chance.

I just hope they manage to bring the AI to a decent level (at least for me). I can live with the rest in the game.  :)

Jumping in on this thread late in the game after having watched the promo video posted by the OP.  I was highly interested when I saw Michael Dorn as one of the voice actors but completely sold on this game when I saw Mark Hamill is in there too.   ;D

I will be watching this title with great interest.

That's the good thing about being a horrible player at these types of games like myself....I never notice the AI being easy:)

Developed by the guys who brought us World of Tanks?

[RedArgo]

Same company, but I'm pretty sure the studio actually making the game has nothing to do with WoT.

LOL...Amen Brother, you're preaching to the choir.

DasTactic has posted 2 demo videos of the game.  I watched them and I see this game appears to be a bit too simplistic for my taste.  Then again the game is still under development.

Would I pay 50 bucks for this game?  No, not in it's current state.

From what I've seen, at least cursorily, this looks like it's about as good as Sid Meier's Starships.

I am sure it is. I have played more MOO than Starships so far but will go back to it. However MOO is a real 4x.

Pretty sure that Banzai was not saying that as a compliment.....

I think everyone is going into this new MoO with the wrong expectations. It's not going to be ground breaking as it's plainly stated as being a redo of the original games with nicer graphics and sound.
The original MoO and MoO II were fairly simplistic games by today's standards. They really weren't that deep... we just didn't have anything to compare them with back then....

Just my opinion of course. I'll get the game when it's priced for what it is.... a pretty version of a very old game... so $20 or less....

I understand. I meant to say that i think it is better than Starships (which is not so bad i guess as a casual game). If they improve the AI, the game can be really entertaining.

I always prefered MOO1 and to me it's nothing close to simplistic. To me it is perfect, like chess is perfect. You can improve the UI, add zooming, improving the graphics and i'd still find it perfect. I wouldn't change anything to chess. MOO2 is a great game but has really some aspects that i find annoying (despite many improved things on UI etc).

[Huw the Poo]

As someone who missed out on the first two games, a redo with modern graphics sounds absolutely fine. :)

[Barthheart]

I agree, it sounds fine to me too.... but I won't expect it to rival Distant Worlds: Universe....
