Clan Imperial Guard [1G] replay audio commentaries? We'll see

from Sins Forums
Several of us at Clan Imperial Guard have recently picked up the game and have been giving it a try. We've been in existance since August 15th, 1996 when we started as a professional Quake 1 and Warcraft 2 clan. Since then we've had a presence in some 14 games spanning RTS/FPS and MMORPG's. Since Empire at War was ultimately a disappointment and offered little competition, it is our hope that Sins will pan out to be that epic, Homeworld-esque game some of us have been craving for.

Over the years I have done audio commentary/play-by-play for RTS and FPS games on the net. Ive won awards for my work in Rome: Total War, Warcraft 3 and Dawn of War in the RTS genre. The reason I bring this up (other then to make myself feel important ;) ) is to ask you, the community, is Sins a game worth that kind of attention?

I haven't used the replay system yet for battles but Im hoping some of you have had some experience with them. Is it a solid replay system that allows free movement, pausing and an easy format to download and apply to a folder? I imagine doing a live play-by-play of matches underway would be impossible as there is no observer mode and the game is played at a macro level seperate from battles. Also, are audio-replays and play-by-play a medium of entertainment you'd like to see in Sins? Im curious to hear.

In either case, look for us in the online lobby's. Stop on by the website and/or the forums and say hello, set up a match or 3 :)

Well considering the fact that a single game could last a long long time...you will have to talk a lot for quite a while...making audio commentaries a bit difficult. These are not quick 20/30 minutes matches we are talking about.

But still it is possible for the really small maps...maybe for the big ones you could do something like a highlight reel or something.

Edit : Anyway its a great thought and hope you guys do something like that...will help the community a lot.

Since you are involved with the TW community then you should know me as Spartan. I was active in the TW community as a community organizer, modman, tester, administrator & promoter since Shogun. I have been involved with this title for over a year. In fact it, along with the blatant slaps in the face from CA to the community, is a major reason I have not had any motivation and more importantly time to continue my work within the TW community.

If my word counts for anything with you and your community I can assure you, you will not go wrong with this title. Additionally, we are developing a clan system and website to support the clans and promote heavy competitions. The URL is: ClansofSin.com

We have many features planned and lots of goodness to bring to the community at large.
This is a new franchise and a new one does not come around every day and right now we are all on the ground floor with regards to community creation and direction.

From a modman perspective this title is by far the most open and supported one I have worked on. The devs are active within the community on a daily basis and listen to us unlike other companies.
