Reign of the Steel news!
Subject description: The latest SAGE engine cannot bring graphics like this!
Everyday a couple of our hosted mods provides news about their progress with screenshots, renders, concepts, videos and even soundtrack. It's hard to keep track of everything. What Aro did in the last months was amazing, I can't do it. But we need to bring your attention to some high quality coming from one of our best graphically wise mods, called Reign Of Steel.
Reign Of Steel is a total conversion for Yuri's Revenge that, while it is not based in the tiberium storyline, it brings the tiberium spirit to the game with GDI and Nod. But it also brings a nice bonus, an exclusive new faction called Orbital Federation. This mod is being produced by Holy Master. While his name is not very modest, I humbly think it is an accurate description of his graphical skills. As a total conversion, it brings totally new units (even for GDI and Nod factions) and more, such as new terrain, new sounds and everything else to ensure that you won't recognize your Yuri's Revenge, with a graphic quality that will make your C&C4 jaw drop.
One of the latest units that Holy Master brought to the public is the Paladin Trooper, for the Global Defense Initiative. This advanced infantry will use a gauss rifle and rocket pods to wipe the enemies.
Nod has no news since June. But you can expect it to come up with the "Chameleon Stealth Tank" and "Irontail Atomic Artillery" (which features that design that makes Nod Specter from Kane's Wrath looks lame).
The Orbital Federation is the C&C vs Star Wars factor of the mod. The basic infantry is the Clone Trooper.
And you'll be able to find out more information about Reign of Steel at their forums, here at PPM. Browse it and post your comments about the good stuff there and enjoy it. QUICK_EDIT
I really don't understand all of the praise for this mod. Not to rain on the creator's parade or anything but, this isn't that original. The Mammoth looks like it just crawled out of C&C with a new texture, the new trooper looks like a reskinned Zone Trooper, the Clone Trooper is just a C&C3 commando in gray (hell, he's still got the stock C&C3 magazine patches on his hips!)
The Nod faction is completely ripping C&C3 off. Same design, hell, I think those textures are from other C&C3 units, as for this artillery beating the spectre, its just some different chassis, cannon looks exactly the same.
I'll praise the mod when its released and not constantly getting redesigned. How many times has this mod been scrapped and restarted? It gets old, and its frustrating as hell to see this get attention when mods that actually get RELEASED get ignored because they don't have shiny new graphics. Until I see real progress rather then new styles each year, I can't help but be disappointed to see released projects get ignored for this. QUICK_EDIT
i agree with you it isn't Original and i never said my mod is original i even tell everyone how i work on each unit or where i rip off from where is model or texture i using and yes too praise to compare my mod with C&c3 or other game however if i want to do something original i'll not bring GDI or Nod to my mod for sure and not even working something on this engine that i can't do everything i want to do.
but what the GDI or Nod should look like? at lease i'm not port C&c3 building to my mod and i want to say i have those model + texture , it very easy to do something like that.
Original isn't goal of my mod but bring something like TS to Ra2 Engine and make each side have different rule is real goal for ROS.
and yes the mod is so old and i want to release it as hell, because i have another project i want to do neither but i don't want to leave the mod die like another.
you think i making this mod and preview just only want people praise myself? you'll wrong the mod is more than 3 year and it not done yet, the reason i still preview it because i just want to tell people the mod still in alive and i don't want to release the mod that isn't done.
and don't get me wrong i don't making this mod for another but i make it for my self...
i have no reason to make this mod if Tiberian Alert or Tiberian Conflict still alive if you can find another remake graphic TS in Ra2YR engine you can tell me i'll cancel the project and public asset i work. QUICK_EDIT
