well, the screenshots that are coming out look good (hand picked by the PR department I'm sure)
but the gameplay video just looked... meh.
looked like a spacebased version of Supreme Commander... which isn't a bad game at all, I like it, but this doesn't seem so WOW anymore.-
PR department (in this case, me) says: Actually, I handpicked nothing -- just sent along the shots I got. The video was actually taken by beta testers. If we wanted to dazzle more, we could have done a nice flashy edited trailer that zooms in on battles more and such -- and when you're playing you could certainly do that, too. The player who took this video just happens to like the more zoomed-out approach.

Problem is, like supcom, the zoomed out approach is probably so much more efficient, which leads to 'look at dots fighting' syndrome. Supcom have great graphics, but I dont get to see them most of the time cause my base will get wasted on the other side of the map by a lone clone commander or something.
