"Empires" Media Update

[CrazyHarij]

The team behind Empires obviously knows how to work the crowd with this stunning media update, featuring 30 amazing ingame shots!
[br]</br>
Empires is geared towards large scale warfare between two reinforced sides, with a single commander having to manage the team and its resources as effectively as possible in order to defeat the opposing team. This wouldn't have been overly spectacular if it wasn't for the ability to customize, create and use kickass vehicles!
[br]
Here's a few words from team leader Krenzo:

"To respond to our loyal fans on the forums who have been asking for a new update, I'm posting thirty shots from our latest closed alpha. The map featured in these shots is emp_canyon created by DoobiePimpin. Its focus is on base building and destroying the enemy team's command vehicle. Enjoy."

We're showing a few of these bad boys on this page, but be sure to check out the rest of the shots right here.

[SimonomiS]

Holy shit.

 

[CptStern]

wow looks nice

 

[pvtbones]

I knew Krenzo wouldn't fail to deliver, even when it was back on teh Bf'42 engine.

 

[Sui]

Damn it, I was going to make a news post on this

Empires is looking absolutely amazing, I can't wait until a beta is released

 

[Chris D]

That's what I like to see! News posters fighting over news posts!

You'll just have to go and find something else to post Sui

/me cracks the whip

 

[Boxy]

Damn that does look pretty cool. Nice models and textures. On a side note and I apologise for going off topic, Hidden : Source is releasing tomorrow and you havent posted about that even though we have mailed you. Maybe a little posty wouldnt hurt, give Suicide42 something to do.

Back on topic, yeah I havent really heard of this mod until now, but i have to say im mightly impressed with what I see in those screenies. When do we get our hands on something playable?

 

[Betelgeuze]

This looks uber good! and the gameplay sounds nice to(RTS/racegame/shooter)

 

[63]

Holy shit.

I second that.

 

[spect3r]

Wow... looks fantastic. *jaw drops*

 

[Punzz]

nice

looks like the commander system similar to NS. I could swear that is was a recently released RTS from those pics. Great models and textures on those vehicles too

Hope this game can take off because it looks really promosing my point of view

 

[Ames]

Map could use more detail. Would make it a winner.

 

[Unfocused]

Damn, those tanks look sw33t!

 

[Asuka]

Wow this mod looks GREAT. Cant wait. Love Hype!

 

[Betelgeuze]

@Shens
The maps are like this because the commander has to be able to place building I think... and its an alpa version of this mod so I think they are still going to put a lot of work in it before they release something.

 

[Atomi]

Yeah, the maps need some form to them. Little bumps and stuff.

 

[ironclad]

This feeling, I... I have never loved a mod before...

 

[armanguy]

looks awsome i think dystopia has something to be scared of when this mod is released

 

[CyberPitz]

mod looks great Can't wait!

 

[Insano]

That's sweet! Those models are lovely! :O

 

[NickOuellette]

Phenomenal.
My only crit would be the tanks look a bit steam-punkish, but maybe thats intended. Gameplay looks awesome, very different from what we're used to.

 

[Pesmerga]

Holy shit.

6characters

 

[MjM]

Man that is one from out of the blue.

Those screenies look amazing. I would love to see some footage. They've done an astounding amount of work, and it looks very professionaL.

Congrats.


I dont mind the maps being simple, maybe if they did their own textures, because its kinda boring seeing the HL2 textures anywhere.


Keep up the good work.

 

[PoiSoNSpiDeR]

the maps need work but other then that its looking pretty decent. this may be the next big mod.

yes they definatly need there own textures for maps aswell

 

[NeoNight]

looks great though I would say it would be better to put the differen't types of turrets under one command.

 

[TheSomeone]

Unwise on their part to release all the media at once though, but it looks really great.

 

[DuB]

Looking nice as ever.

 

[TwwIX]

Great Mod!

You should try out the unfinished Bf1942 version guys.
It's worth the download.

 

[IchI]

Really impresive stuff. There are some better screen shots on there website.

 

[Kare Bear]

Does the map remind anyone of onslaught mode in ut2004.Anyway its looking great.

 

[sickre]

I reckon the maps need a bit of work before the first public release. Otherwise, it looks fantastic, and I can't wait to play it.
Maybe that map was just a 'proof of concept' map to test out gameplay.

 

[oldagerocker]

Mod looks great, bring on Total Annihilation in Source

 

[DoctorWeeTodd]

RTS eh?

 

[Betelgeuze]

Not only RTS

 

[Varsity]

STUNNING.


Don't get too worked up over the map, it's obviously early work.

 

[Pesmerga]

A TA FPS would be sweet
