6 new screenshots of Supreme Commander can be found on the gamespy website(although I believe 4 look like repeats, on the same friggin' website!).

The two most notable ones definetaly show the game is run in a 3D engine (directX 8 at least), I've linked them below:
Submarine in refractive water
Naval battle

You can find all SupCom screenshots here

Also, in case you have missed them, I have included two exclusive shots from a fansite, which was posted a few months ago:

[edit]Found a (French) site with a ton of these in

I have also attached the link to the interview
 
Im going to get this game for sure. But i cant stop thinking how much the unit detail looks crap. I mean Command and Conquer looked the same...

Perhaps in like 5 years, GPG will patch the game up with the ability to pack more polygons in each unit. They are just trying to fit as many units as possible into a 16x16 Sq KM map :)

Perhaps they already have a LOD feature

I really doubt that the graphics will be the main selling point for this game.

Chris Taylor has mentioned there are unique gameplay elements that we haven't heard about yet (so far I believe we have heard possibly 5)

Nah, C&C was worse. It does however, seem to look exactly the same in large scale battles as the original Total Annihilation :p
 
As i said i will be buying the game 100%. It just doesnt compare to all the other new RTS games out there (in terms of Looks)
 
Nice sub.
Any idea on a release date/period for this game?
 
Q4 2006, though I'm not sure if it will be later.

How was TA and Dungeon Siege on meeting the ETA
 
Bunch of old screens in the mix there. Anyways I love that sub, hopefully get to play this soon rather then later but I have my doubts.

And? The fact that the water looks nice has nothing to do with the fact that alot of other games have nice water. Were talking about Supreme commanders water. Not 90% of other games water. You see, if it had crap water, I’d say meh, water looks poop.

Isn't it the same as you saying, "Wow, this film has lots of guns and explosions! ACE!!!!!!!!" Despite the film being abysmally retarded.

When alot of movies, which are actually good, have guns and explosions. See?

Im not saying its a bad thing. I made a point that the GFX where way underpar. And having water that looks good as a only plus isnt anything to brag about because that isnt anything amazing anymore. If they had HDR ps3.0 etc. Then this game would be 100%. Its probably going to be a insane game even if the GFX stayed that way. Which is why im still going to buy it.

But that has absolutely nothing to do with what I was saying. I simply commented on the fact that I think the water looks nice and that I love lovely looking water in games. Amazing or not, thats completely besides the point. And as far as I'm aware, there has been no water bragging. Underpar, or not, it doesn't matter. Graphics truly do not make a game. Not that I'm getting Supreme commander anyway since I've no interest in it.
 
That scale image does not work, can anyone mirror it?
 
I am not getting it because of the graphics, as a matter of fact I wouldn't even care that the game is shipped with directX7 graphics. I'm getting it because it is an RTS, and it:

a) has unique gameplay features
b) is accesably moddable
c) is a simulation, not a rock-paper-scissors affair
d) has RPG elements (yes, you will be able to outfit the commander unit with armor, weapons, specialised skills, etc)
e) contains a "Theartre of War"
f) has realistically sized nukes

That scale image does not work, can anyone mirror it?

Works fine for me

See if this works

Are you on Firefox? if you are, try IE
 
This game can't have draw dropping top-of-the line graphics. Im sorry but the battlefields are way to vast and when the minimum size of a map is many MANY times larger than the biggest map for a RTS today....plus add in thousands upon THOUSANDS of units in constant motion from quite a few players well you get the point.
All the Vertex's and Textures would damn require way to good of a graphics card. This games scale is massive and the LOD factor is just more than impressive already.

Giving this game down right amazing graphics and HDR and amazing reflections would be like making Doom 3 and having it run at full quality in the year 2001 to run at the average gamers hardware.

That makes no sense. Iv said in all my posts that im buying this game because of gameplay. What i was saying is that the gfx make it more enjoyable. Who doesnt like a game to look good?

Understandable. Was thinking you were pointing out the game had good gfx because of the water.
