      This comment is modded funny, but this is a serious concern. I personally will take a wait and see attitude with this game and WAIT until the actual reviews of the hard core people are posted on the internet.

      Also one HOPES that all the crashes are gone for good. I always like to wait for the first patch to come out until I buy a product :).

      I still play MOO2 sometimes. The ironic thing is that it actually plays better (to me) in linux in wine then under win2k. In linux it doesn't have sound, but in windows the screen goes wonky and I can't click anymore (the cursor dissapears).

      But all negativity aside, I will eventuatly buy this game. How soon depends on wether or not the first version is playable. That and I don't NEED to lose a month of my life just yet.

        Not only do we have to hope that it's finished (Sim City 4 shipped WITHOUT online support WTF!) but we have to worry about them shipping with copy protection that makes it unplayable (Never Winter Nights, UT2003). I've personally about had it with Game publishers. If you can't ship a finished product in a playable form then maybe it's time to get into a differant business. Then again, maybe I'm just bitter.
        • What are you talking about regarding NWN with your "copy protection that makes it unplayable" comment? NWN shipped playable, and got improvements through patches, but I never had a problem with it. You must be bitter, because if you had problems it was with your rig. The game itself worked fine in my case. I bought the game and I don't see how any copy protection scheme could have interfered with a legit copy.
          • Many people have hardware issues with various copy protection schemes (we're not necessarily talking old or obscure hardware either, though I have no specific examples), and many copy protection schemes create longer load times or adversely affect gameplay (ie/ ultima IX, which was slow enough without the increased overhead of a useless copy protection scheme).

            Since the copy protection schemes are easily cracked (and often removed by official patches eventually) I agree that they are pointless and should not be used.

            It DID interfere with legit copies. Because of the nature of the protection system used, it conflicted with widely popular CD drives (you know, the kind that also BURN CDs) It also seeks out virtual drive software and other software used by developers, and "accidentally" crashes if such is found.

            I bought TWO copies legitimately the day it came out, to be able to play with friends on my LAN. My main machine was unable to run the game. It wouldn't recognize either ORIGINAL disc. only this particular sceme (Safedisk 2 I think) causes this problem. Both copies went back. I had to threaten a lawsuit in order to get a refund. Against the clerk who had assured me that there would be no such problems. Obviously the store wouldn't care, but threaten to sue an individual, well, things happen much more quickly ;)

            It was suggested that I replace my brand new (and perfectly compliant with all standards) 40x burner drive with a NEW CD drive to resolve this. I suggested the PUBLISHER not expect me to replace perfectly legal and properly functional hardware (I use this drive to back up my network, incremental backups) that cost more than their GAME did.

            Eventually, I believe they either fixed the game or the bug in their implementation. I'll never know, because I wrote that game off permanently.

            Publishers need to remember it is NOT the responsibility of people with CD drives, new ones, to worry about a game being compatible. It's the publishers' responsibility to make sure their copy protection doesn't BREAK on current hardware. Nothing less is acceptable. Unless they want to put "WARNING, THIS PRODUCT IS PROTECTED BY (Insert protection scheme here) AND THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANCE THAT IT WILL NOT WORK WITH YOUR CD DRIVE", coupled with an easy to read list of known incompatible drives, in readable text, on the box (NOT IN IT).
          • When NWN shipped I was able to play. My very good friend who purchased the game the same day, the same time was unable to play because his "slightly older" cdrom couldn't read disc 1 thanks to the secure rom copy protection scheme. This is becoming a VERY common problem with newer games.
    • With a little luck maybe it's finished too! ;-)

      Couldn't have said it better myself. I love MOO2, but it was sooo incomplete. I remember before the 1.3 patch came out you could build invincible ships. not a hack or a cheat, just a creative ship design.

      The Phase cloak made your ship impossible to hit while cloaked. You uncloaked when you fired and you'd recloak if you didn't fire any weapons for an entire turn.

      The time warp facilitator gave your ship two turns in combat.

      With both the time warp facilitator and phase cloak you could fire (and decloack) on your first turn then do nothing (and recloak) on the second. The enemy ships could never hit you even though you kept nailing them every turn... Kinda dirty, but technically not a cheat.

      Anyways they fixed it so that wouldn't work in 1.3 (while breaking a lot of other things). 1.31 was the last patch, I believe, even though there were still a lot of bugs and a lot of badly needed features (autobuild queue would've been nice).

    • I think the additional bling bling the alien's wearing in the gold announcement graphic will require an expansion pack.
    • This may have been intended to be funny, but in all seriousness, MOO3 should be ready. It has been in final regession testing for the past couple of months and the beta testers report that it has gone from unplayable to nearly perfact. In an hours long 8-player online MP game near the end of December they only encountered one bug, which had already been fixed. (The most recent build had not reached some of the beta testers.) So the game should be ready to play as soon as its in stores!

      • "Just because a game doesn't require a 1GHz+ cpu doesn't mean it's old or low tech. Maybe they just know how to give you more bang per cycle than the latest greatest blockbuster developers do."

        Or maybe they got a good deal of development done back when 300mhz was the shit. That's probably why people found his comment funny as opposed to getting defensive because they think he's picking on the game.
      • I am no business wiz, but if it turns out that the reviews for this game are good, then the lower the requirements, the more people who can buy & play the game without having to buy new hardware, right? So maybe it will be a best-seller.

      • Carmack, I'm looking in your direction...

        From what I've seen and heard Carmack is quite good at making clean and fast code. Granted, he may bump quality up in compensation, but that only says positive things about his code. Look at the Doom3 ALPHA. I can run it on my 750mhz Athlon.. Granted, its slow as shit, but with a few tweaks it could be about playable.. Now keep in mind this was only an alpha build designed to run on one specific machine for demo purposes.
      • Yeah, because I'm sure MOO3 will have a 3D immersive environment utilizing the latest rendering features of your video card...

        Oh... hold it... you mean there's no 3D graphics at all? Well, heck, why does it require a 300 MHz P3 then? You can do pretty much anything needed in 2D with a 486. Must be pretty damn inefficient code.

        Hint - comparing games of totally, utterly different genres and then whining about one giving "more bang per cycle" is so abundantly stupid it's sad.

      • Carmack, I'm looking in your direction...

        Why does Carmack need to care about the low end? There's room in this world for games that target the low end AND for games that require the latest and greatest hardware. If you don't want to play those games, then play some of the other games.

        I don't think the entire world has to or should cater to the lowest common demonator.

    • With graphics like this [gamespot.com], it'd BETTER run on a P2/300.

      Note that lack of graphics does not necessarily denote lack of fun gameplay. I want a demo first though...
    • Yes, yes, I thought it was funny. :-)

      But as a serious reply, we have to understand what is being developed here. This is Real Time Strategy. You don't need tons of clock cycles and an incredible frame rate. What you need is a good user interface. Good UIs should not need lots of clock cycles. They require oodles of design time, not cpu time.
    • Hey, what's wrong with that!

      My Celeron 366 can run Castle Wolfenstein and Master of Orion just fine, thank you very much.

    I hope the game hasn't fallen in the "technology trap" as its predecessor - in MOO2 it wasn't really worth playing anything but Psilons, as the quick research advancements very easily overweighed the intrinsic advantages of other races (e.g. growth, flying skills).

    That said, I can hardly wait to get my hands on it!

    • This "bug" was fixed in the 1.3.1(?) patch, which made the creative benefit much more costly. Though even with that there were quite a few 'tricks' that unbalanced the game significantly.

      Creative was mostly a waste of time. Since you had a choice of which tech to research (unless you took uncreative - which I would, just to make things interesting again) you could pick the same old tech over and over again...

      Sure, there were a few sucky choices, and sometimes I'd have to forego my normal choice in favor of something I needed *right now* (eg. better weapons because I got into a war)

      But overall, I'd plow the points I would have put into creative and chose +'s to production and farming.

      Offensive spying never worked for me - even when playing with all the +'s, so I just take the maximum penalty, and build a large number of defensive spies.

      Problem is, this same old same old strategy got boring... At least in Moo1, the choices would be randomized, with each race having various advantages in certain areas, like the Psilons would tend to get more engine choices, and a larger overall tree. The randomness made things more interesting... I once played a game where no one got anything faster than warp-2 engines. And in a huge galaxy, that meant it took years to get anywhere. I managed to take Orion, and was given warp-4 engines, which allowed me to more quickly decimate my opponents.

      I enjoyed MOO and MOO2 a lot but -- perhaps unfortunately -- I had my standards set by a little-known title, well-loved by the very few who ever encountered it: Anacreon.

      It was 80x25 text-mode "graphics" with some terrible interface limitations that make the endgame nearly unplayable... but outside of that, I have rarely seen anything with such impeccable play balance. Like all the best games, it was enormously complex without being the least bit complicated.

      It's said that the full version of this shareware game sold less than 50 copies. One of those is mine... but I have to believe that at least one other is out there in the Slashdot population somewhere. Anyone?

      It's now available as freeware... Google for "anacreon reconstruction" if you're old enough to stomach playing a textmode game. And maybe even if you aren't.

    Anyways, I saw an incredulous comment above that the system requirements are Pentium II @ 300 MHz... the game has been in development for so long, that the game engine is not based on modern 3D-accellerated engines. Instead, the engine is voxel-based, which has angered some in the past because the game's "smoothness" is software speed based, not add-on hardware or slickness of video card.

    The game supports 8 human players, with up to a total of 16 (assuming the other 8 are computer AIs). Human players can drop connections and re-connect without reloading from a saved state (like Moo2 makes you do). Battles between players are executed in real-time, and multiple battles between two exclusive sets of players will happen simultaneously. Between turns, when battles are resolved, non-battling players are forced to wait.

      I don't know where you get the idea that the reason this game isn't using a modern 3D accelerated engine is because it's been in development for so long. The reason this game isn't using a modern 3D engine is because it's a strategy game, not a 3D shooter. I will be very surprised if this game has a single 3D element to the graphics anywhere and is anything other than sprite-based. This game's appeal is in the complex mechanics and strategic depth - the graphics are nice but functional.

      As for the game running on a 300MHz Pentium II; what's so bad about this? It's not as if frame-rate is going to be an issue here. The only limiting factor to the game's playability is the time it takes the AI to make its moves. I would bet that some patience would be required to play the largest galaxy sizes on a minimum spec machine but it would probably be playable on lower systems than the minimum spec with a small map.

      hundreds of fighters
      plus orbital bases, 3 max per planet or moon.

      This could create a VERY high polygon count that prohibit all but the high end systems from playing what is primairly a turn based strat game.

      Voxels solved that problem, and at the same time, allowed the game to be run on a system with suprisingly low specs.

      As a longtime Tradewars, MOO, MOO II player, when I heard that there was a MOO III Alpha out, I had to go Spelunking in the dark recesses of the web.

      Eventually, I stumbled across the Austrailian Alpha Release.

      People, I love complicated; I used to buy up Every Traveller book and spend hours designing Spacecraft that were never used, just because it was neat; I wasn't even bothered by the bugs in MOO II, because the game was just so freacking cool.

      The Alpha is from the pre-dumbed down version of the game; apparently, they decided the general public wouldn't appreciate it; I heartily agree.

    are you sure that they mean "gold" as in "the code is done"?... that alien's jewelry puts Mr. T to shame.

    For those of you who have Macs (and consider Masters of Orion only the second best space game), the classic Spaceward Ho! version 5.0 [deltatao.com] shipped recently. Think of it as the core essential fun gameplay elements of MOO without all the extra complicated junk. Main attractions of the new version are TCP/IP Internet play, and it's now MacOS X native. This is my second-favorite computer game of all time.

  • Sure MOO and MOO2 are fun games and hopefully this one will even better, but I always prefered Master of Magic to Master of Orion(1 or 2). It's going on about 9 years now that I've been waiting for a sequel to MOM. Hopefully now that Quicksilver has finished MOO3 they can start on one of the most requested sequels ever. If you think I'm exagerating just search Google for "Master of Magic 2" and you'll get a whole slew of petitions and editorials saying we need this game. If nothing else I'd like just a port to a modern OS with perhaps some graphical updates and possibly some multiplayer support.

    Dragon Ball Z and all logos, character names and distinctive likenesses thereof are trademarks of TOEI ANIMATION.

    While I've never played any other MOO game, I doubt that it has anything to do with Dragonball Z. So why does the Yahoo article say this?

    And I was agast to find this pimpin' gangsta alien with the big ass chains. I couldn't help to think to myself "sO-k'mu talata!" (translated to english as "whaddup mah niggaz!?")

    From Mac Gamer's Ledge [macledge.com]:

    "Production on the Mac version of MOO3 has been proceeding closely with the PC version, so the game should make it to shelves for Mac users very soon via distributor MacSoft."
