I.M.PS. Chapter 1

Post by Burak Gazan »

IMPS-Chapter 1 - Davenport Gateway

Not the fastest download, and a huge file (208 Mb) but, looks pretty good and definitely in the TROOPS theme :D
"Of course, what would really happen is that in Game 7, with the Red Sox winning 20-0 in the 9th inning, with two outs and two strikes on the last Cubs batter, a previously unseen meteor would strike the earth, instantly and forever wiping out all life on the planet, and forever denying the Red Sox a World Series victory..."

Hmm no dice trying getting in through the link or through theforce .net -- maybe their server is offline at the moment (D/L ok earlier this evening, but at a slow speed) :?

I managed to get it earlier today from the website. The Force is clearly not with the rest of you.

In short, it kicked much ass and was very engaging. I can't wait for Chapter 2.

The amount of female voices was kinda jarring. Not sexist or anything but it's not what we're used to from the films, nevermind the obvious american accents :D

And the Relentless would look ALOT better with a reactor bulb instead of that lower bridge..

Not to be sexist or anything, but the nose art on the AT-AT was a nice touch :D
And the chatter between the Scout Troopers and the Stormtrooper squad was hilarious

"Man, why'd we have to call those guys for backup? We may as well have called in an airstrike...."

"Yeah, whatever, tree-dodger; get out of my face...." :lol:

All I can say is that the VFX were near professional caliber (not surprising considering that they seem to have gotten help from some major studios) and the acting kicked the ass of SW: Revolutions.

The poaching bit was great, but the contraband was a let-down after such a great buildup. Overall a great production. I hope that there's a bit of variety with the other parts, though.

Okay I finally got to see this since I had time to download the Torrent.. great stuff there. The chatter between the troopers was hilarious, especially the 'tree-dodger' bit.

If it´s anything like Troops, I suppose it´s semi-serious and semi-hilarious. :P

EDIT: I was right. Funny how the female commander reminded me of Vansen and Space:AAB.

The Gatling gun on the AT-ST was a nice touch, as was the "tree dodger" remark. Hope the remaining episodes keep up the good work. 8)

That's worth watching. A lot of Star Wars fan films aren't. It's not *unbelievable*, but it's certainly *entertaining*, especially the crossover parts, and the liberties they took with the art and design.
