USGOLDSF
flight game for a 32-bit console system. The title is expected to be
released in the upcoming week, if shipping is on schedule. The PSX
version will be out in the 2nd week of Jan. The game is getting rave
reviews from the press, all of which will be out in the upcoming weeks.
Enjoy and have a great gaming season!

Are there any differences between the PSX and Saturn versions?

Don't believe this clown. He's an AOL'er and just having his "kicks".
However, expect Thunderstrike(Saturn) the week of 12/27.
I _want_ this game.

believe him? Heck, why should we believe you?
You and him seem to be in agreement about the release date. The week of
12/27 which is what usgoldsf said (upcoming week).
I can't wait to get this game. It looks good from what the mags have been
saying and the screen shots they have shown. Plus Thunderstrike on the
Sega CD was one of the best titles for that platform. I can't wait to see
what they do with this game on the Saturn.

I wonder how this game will compare on PSX and Saturn... I don't want to
buy the Saturn version and then have the PSX version 10x better... (not
that it WILL be... but you never know)...
Also wonder how this will compare to PSX Warhawk...
drool...drool...drool... =)
Happy Holidays indeed!

I heard somewhere that they are very similar, just that the Saturn
version has slightly better gameplay. That may be why the PSX version
has been delayed....
>Also wonder how this will compare to PSX Warhawk...
Totally different kind of game. Warhawk is a more "fly by the seat of
your pants with an orchestra in the background arcade experience" and
Thunderstrike is more of a sim. Don't get me wrong, I had much more
fun playing Thunderstrike on the Sega CD than Warhawk, but it's
comparing apples and oranges.
>drool...drool...drool... =)
agreed. Anyone who loved the original will probably LOVE this game,
meyself included.

Much better then Warhawk?.(That's a _huge_ statement!) Damn, i really
wish so, simply because Warhawk is _easily_ the best 3-D 32-bit shooter
ever.(imho...and also many more qualified one's).
I'll be getting this game once it hits the shelves, and i will
definitly compare it to Warhawk(graphically).
btw: I own both systems, like both systems, and am getting sick of
people bashing any game without giving reasons why.(ie...V.C. Sucks,
Tekken Sucks,ect..)

I enjoyed it as well, but only for 2 days.. After I won it, it
became shelf material.. but those 2 days were probably the best I've
spent on any 3-d shooter.. I love the intro music (when they show the
actual cut from the sampler disc, which I believe is also the same music
on level 4)..

let me know, I'm looking to buy this (TS2) for the Saturn..
I remember liking Thunderstrike for SegaCD, but it got a bit
boring after a while

Well,whadda ya think?I got ot today as well and i'm not to thrilled to say
the least.The pop up is ridiculous!Way to distracting for me.How about
you?

To repeat what I said in mail:
Eh. It doesn't bother me, since it doesn't start out from nowhere,
like Black Fire. It also looks like it pulls out the textures on the far
horizon, and then moves them into the closer one where it gets levelled
and raised onto the terrain's dimensions. Plus, the game is cool enough
for me to look past the pop-up. The stealth down scenario is pretty cool
- a bunch of race against time objectives... at night. This is a worthy
replacement for Iron Soldier (the only Jag game I miss) for me...

Is the pop-up only on huge objects or is it all over the screen with
everything. I was thinking of picking it up today but now I am not so
sure. What ever happened to this fabulous 3-d engine that Core was
supposed to have. Oh, well maybe I will still pick it up.

>Hmm. Popup is pretty bad in this game but the game is quite a bit of fun
and I like it. Enjoy watching the little men toddling around after you
destroy their vehicles. Vehicle graphics are great. Explosions are
pretty good though pixelly close up. I think the whole popup brouhaha is
a tempest in a teapot. Just about every good 3D game around has some
popup (e.g. Wipeout, Sega Rally, Destruction Derby, etc.). It's the
gameplay that matters. Maybe when we get to the 64 bit machines the
popup will be eliminated but for now it's a fact of life. Some may find
the popup so distracting that it detracts from their gameplay. If that's
so I understand; don't buy it. As for me this game, popup and all, is a
lot of fun.

The pop-up really doesn't effect a lot of stages... only the ones that
occur over the forest scenes... though there are some things like rocks
that just appear it really isn't a reason not to buy the game since it
is still very good... it also depends on the view you use.. I have
found that the over the heli view takes away a lot of the Pop-up as
opposed to the in the cockpit view or the just plain view...
