Total Annihilation status update

recorded up to mission 9, encoded up to mission 4. Im planning to encode Mi 5, thelast of the same planet, then upload them in one file. If they arent so big, Otherwise I will split into smaller files, I have bad up speed, about 50k/s. The encoding is being done using the best setting possible in the analysis tab. But it takes a long time, 6h to encode 10 minutes. But you can expect amazing quality with very small space.


Also, is great to se Starcraft done, it has a great history and videos,
I always wanted to see ituploaded here in LP, cant believe it took so long, Ill enjoy to watch it.


And also, put one there todo list Star Wars: Rebellion, its a Masters of Orion style game.

No dune 2000 in the list? :|

Please don't forget to announce that you've uploaded a longplay of a game from the list if you had taken a request from it. Just for the good of those longplayers who might stubmle upon the thread.

And thanks for all the recorded games!

Allright, here's a preview of the first mission, the quality will be improved, but it will be from the same raw footage. The second link is a 4x time-lapse version, witch I intent to do for all missions and upload at an YT channel, again, not the final encode, this one probably will get a background music and maybe more features like a signature intro screen at the beguinning.

I'm starting the requirements and trying video recording specs to make a longplay of Total Annihilation, at least the Arm Campaing, then Core, then the rest.


I loved this game to the bone, just need to warm up a little bit.

The recording will probably be like this: I'll play the mission 3 times in order to make the best skill played as possible. I can easily beat the campaing in hard on the first try, but I want to improve this to perfection, as I always tried to do when playing online.

The only thing is that the game need an extra patch to record, and it's a different record setting when on mission and on the menus like mission briefing etc. I may have to encode this at an editor like Sony Vegas. I just hope this site accepts it. I'll do the first 3 missions and then show it here what i've got.

Starcraft Broodwar being handled, Recording will be finished today, encoding done tomorrow, then god knows how long to upload (150kb/s upload). Then wait for approval :P Entire playthrough will be about 9-10 hours long I estimate. (Including the secret mission)
J
Now that I have a better computer, I'll start looking into fulfilling some of these requests.

The ones I have on deck to do at some point is the Men of War series and some Company of Heroes. I tried to do Commandos but I'm having issues getting the game to run in Windows off of Win8 so I'll have to do it in DOS some time in the future.

There are some strategy games which i can recommend!

I agree with Heroes Of Might And Magic. Espcially 3, 5 and 6!

Starcraft is a classic so it's also recommended. Starcraft, Starcraft: Brood War, Starcraft 2 and Starcraft 2, Heart Of The Swarm. Starcraft 2, Legacy of The Void is probably also recommended once it's released!

But these games are also recommended but you didn't include these:

Dungeon Keeper 1
Dungeon Keeper 2

I recommend these. Especially Dungeon Keeper 2!
F
I can pick Age of Empires and Supreme Commander for sure. AoE will not cause any recording issue I believe (except for AoE III maybe). Supreme commander Forged Alliance will cause some I think.

My PC is not powerful with SupCom. Also I can take a hour for a mission in that game. Especially in the middle of the campaign. I have lags issues past 300 units.
