Cavolo però, magari è una merda di gioco

Cmq 15 dollari americani non sono poi molti ( poco meno di 12 euro ) ... ma me ne sbatto e vado ad occhi chiusi

( ci sono andato con Darwinia, e non me ne son assolutamente pentito!

EDIT: Devo ancora vederli

Giusto per essere sicuro sono andato a chiederlo: sia la versione distribuita dal sito, o su CD o via Steam avranno ovviamente tutte in comune lo stesso masterserver.
Questo vuol dire che naturalmente tutti si potranno sfidare con tutti

Cribbio che Uomo-Ventola ci è diventato

inglo · August 29, 2006, 11:22am

secondo voi ci potrebbe essere una versione linux?

Speed_399 · August 29, 2006, 11:25am

mi pareva di aver letto da qualche parte che ci sarebbe stata la versione linux e mac (o solo mac ?

) se lo ritrovo ti faccio sapere

HostFat · August 29, 2006, 1:00pm

Usciranno sia una versione Mac che una versione Linux, ma queste non immediatamente. La prima ad uscire sarà la versione Windows

_DaN · August 30, 2006, 8:04am

mi sembrava sottointeso

Shiny · August 30, 2006, 8:16am

è praticamente pensato per il multiplayer,
tutti a nukkarsi come le bestie appena esce è...

ae61111f6a131d710fbbb297d62331e6 · August 30, 2006, 10:58am

allora sto gioco mi attizza, posso abbandonare il risiko digital (peraltro bellissimo)

Introversion Software: Founded by three young college friends in London the company is often tagged “the last of the bedroom programmers.” If the name doesn’t sound familiar, the game Darwinia should. A true entrepreneurial success story, Introversion released its first game titled Uplink in October of 2001. Now, almost five years later, with several awards in hand and both of their previous titles available on Valve’s immensely popular Steam platform, a third title is on the way. Prepare for global thermonuclear war because in Defcon, everybody dies.
Introversion was kind enough to send us an asset disc from the upcoming title, containing screenshots, videos, as well as a nuclear survival guide promo booklet. The following preview/intro is based on these assets and information.
Inspired by the film WarGames, directed by John Badham, Defcon places you in the shoes of a military general deep inside a nuclear-resistant underground bunker. The game, which will primarily be online but will offer a single-player portion as well, forces you to make the decisions on how to lose the least. That is, completely destroying the enemy population as well as preventing any possibility of a counter-attack while securing your population and territory. Similar to the cold and hostile tensions felt in the cold war era, Defcon promises to produce an environment where players will continually be looking over their shoulders. Formed alliances can be broken at any moment as military officials will go to any length to protect their own people and territories. Knowing millions of lives are on the line, will you be able to easily press the big red button?
Rounds will typically last around thirty to forty minutes but it will be possible to speed it up in the single-player mode. Rounds will begin at “level 5” where players will be able to move their naval units to international territories without worrying about any hostile actions. The levels will slowly decrease to 1 where all-out nuclear strikes are allowed to be carried out.
Similar to Introversion’s previous games, which have proven that cutting edge graphics aren’t necessary to produce a winning title, the visual component in this game is basically composed of a world map. That’s not to say that it doesn’t look good: just have a look at the trailer, gameplay movies and screenshots for yourself to see all of the modern effects and menus. Players will be able to zoom in an out of areas of interest. However, you will only be able to see enemy units if they cross into your radar range, or initiate a launch.
The following is a breakdown of things you might see on the large map:

On the ground, there will be icons to represent radar dishes, airbases, and missile silos. Airbases can contain both fighters and bombers, and the missile silos also double as anti-aircraft/anti-warhead guns.

In the sea, players will see carriers and battleships, as well as submarines. Most of their features are expected and self explanatory. For example, subs are invisible to radar and can launch torpedoes and nukes.

Airborne items include fighter jets and bombers, as well as nuclear missiles.

Introversion is predicting that Defcon will be an addictive game – so much so that they have decided to include an “office mode.” Someone coming?! Simply hit the ESC button twice and the game will be minimized to the in the system tray/taskbar. The “discreet” icon will change when important things are happening in-game ( ), ensuring you don’t lose to Debbie in Human Resources while also keeping the Bill Lumberghs of the world out of the loop.
With Introversion’s history of award-winning titles and the features we received I can honestly say that I am looking forward to Defcon’s release which will be towards the end of September. The concept looks fun and addicting and the price upon release is slated to be $14.95 through Steam. Short on cash? Fear not: there will be a demo to give players a chance to try it out if they are unsure. Expect to see the demo on Steam sometime after the full game’s release, a-la Darwinia. In addition we will also have Defcon reviewed here on 2404.

Cmq, la cosa che più mi attira ora di questo gioco sono le alleanze ... sono interessanti xkè appunto pare ci possa essere sempre e cmq UN SOLO vincitore

Lo vedo come un grosso rischio, una grossa perdita di amicizie

HostFat · September 2, 2006, 6:13pm

Pare che Defcon peserà sui 60 mega, prima si diceva che fosse sui 10 mega. Forse come dice tutto il resto è musica e suoni vari ...

0.eroes.0 · September 2, 2006, 7:55pm

60 mega!?!?! E dove lo installo?!?!
Troppo, troppo!!

HostFat · September 2, 2006, 8:03pm

Io non so come sia messo tu, io ho una gran paura.
Siamo già a Settembre, il gioco uscirà verso la fine del mese ... fra non molto probabilmente partirà il preload/preoder su Steam.
Il problema è che ora ho 3 pagine ( sito, forum news e forum defcon ) sempre attaccate con il refresh automatico.
Sto proprio male

La più grossa paura che ho è quella per cui ora mi sto spalmando l'olio sul di dietro. Quando ci tengo tantissimo alle cose divento sempre pessimista.

Mi consolo xkè almeno 10 dollarsi non sono molti, quindi se ci sarà ... non farà tanto male
