Summary please
Re: Bash and Slash Podcast
they are basically talking about how they are in financial distress and the game may not be released.
Re: Bash and Slash Podcast
After finding the time to have a listen:
-5 minutes of spam at the start before they really mention NS.
-Background to development of the original NS, discussion of innovations like commander and stuff
-Talks about NS2 development... how they're going with the engine...difficulties and so on
-Talks a bit about NS2 and Minimum Specs.... sounds unlikely to me that they're going to get it down to the Min Specs that they had originally hoped for.
- Mention of dedicated server stuff and some limited discussion about operating systems that they hope to run on
- Pimpage of pre-order spec edition and alpha
(30 mins in and gettin a bit bored)
- I like candy
- Bit of discussion about where PC gaming and modding is headed
- Discussion about how the modding community for NS2 will be integrated with vanilla play
- Limitations of the team size behind NS2 and their hopes for the modding community to really push NS2 forward once things start rolling
- Mentions of dynamic infestation and alien growth
- Discussion about how important the community is to the development
- Runs trhough all the links to blogs, feeds etc.
END STORY
Nothing new really but it covers a variety of shit that I've been too lazy to follow thus far. If you're bored and have too much time on your hands (lolme)...give it a run through.

Re: Bash and Slash Podcast
I believe their original claims were that the engine would be "As scalable as the source engine". Are they sticking with this claim? The engine test was absolutely terrible. At the lowest specs it looked like scrotum and still ran at about 12fps on my computer.
Re: Bash and Slash Podcast
From what was said it sounds like they're attempting to get it to that point but sounds a little sketchy

Natural Selection 2 Glad you like the vid guys! Simon - the game isn't optimized yet but we're working on it. So you'll need a better machine than what's listed in our min specs to play the alpha well.
Awesome. 12fps here I come.

Re: Bash and Slash Podcast
I'm looking foward to not playing the alpha as well.
Re: Bash and Slash Podcast
That is why they release the same day as SC2. No one will play and no news posts about it.
