Supreme Commander in the Works

Thats right, the creator of Total Annihilation is creating a new real-time strategy (RTS) game for the computer. This time the destruction and mayhem is going to be even more massive! Screenshots from GameSpy and a recent PC Gamer article suggest that the scale of the battles are going to be massive!!

Most of the screenshots involved land battles, but a couple also included some significant sea forces. One of the best was a nuclear explosion taking out several naval vessels. Unfortunately no air units were seen in the screenshots given out, except for aerial deployment ships... which were incredibly cool!

The scale of the units in Supreme Commander is amazing. Main battle tanks become dwarfed by spider-like walkers which are then dwarfed by a nuclear explosion going off in their midst.

The game is more than a year away, but it's already looking amazing. I can't wait to see more screenshots... It looks like it could be one spectacular RTS when it comes out in Fall 2006! I can't wait!
