An Accidental Death Report (ADR) is being filed by the police, as per procedure," Palghar Police sources told ANI. Cyrus Mistry's mortal remains are at a government hospital in Kasa.
SUPREME COMMANDER FORGED ALLIANCE DRIVER
"Prima facie, it looks like the car driver lost control. Commanding feels more supreme for it.The driver of the car in which Cyrus Mistry was travelling lost control due to overspeeding and rammed into the divider, said Palghar Police sources on Sunday.įormer Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry was killed in a road accident near Mumbai on Sunday.Īccording to Palghar Police, Mistry was travelling from Ahmedabad to Mumbai when his car hit the divider. It's entirely psychological - the eye now glances to a single place, the casual knowledge-is-power of a driver checking his speedometer, then returning his gaze to the road ahead, in a split-second and with minimal muscle usage. For instance though, the impact of now having the bars for your two resource types on top of each other, rather than at opposite ends of the screen is enormous in the heat of multiplay. Of course, the girl underneath hasn't fundamentally changed, beyond being a little older and wiser, but in SupCom's case, a complete user interface overhaul makes a big difference. It may have seemed perfectly reasonable at the time but now evokes a grimace of affectionate embarrassment. It's like your girlfriend showing you pictures of herself from the 80s, all bubble-perm and shoulderpads. I was playing Supreme Commander as I've always done, surely? It's not until I was back home and fired up SupCom vanilla that I really got a sense of how much more polished Forged Alliance is. At first, I couldn't immediately tell what'd changed, though a nagging something at the back of my brain kept me aware things weren't quite as they were. I played an early version of Forged Alliance at Gas Powered Games' sweetie-machine-filled office in Seattle, just around the corner from endless, anonymous-looking Microsoft outposts, and it confused me a little at the time. Forged Alliance, then, is a standalone add-on not purely because that's the current vogue for expansion packs, but also because it's a sort of Supreme Commander 1.5, a second chance to make its point to those who sneered or cowered first time around. Many others stared at the screenshots of impossibly large-scale future-war and quaked with terror. Total Annihilation players, already accustomed to tank death by the dozen, treated it like a favourite pair of old shoes, of course. There's a sense that not everyone got this when SupCom made its first tour of duty. Hot Experimental on Experimental action - including the crab-like Megalith over on the right.
Or is this because, for all its giant robots and cloaking fields, SupCom is a little more truthful about war than more traditional RTS games? One unit rarely makes a difference - though a player may occasionally lament "just five or ten more gunships and I'd have had 'im." This isn't about heroes.
It's not aloof, it's charming - shaped masses of obedient minions cheerfully trooping off wherever you ask them too, like Fantasia with anti-aircraft guns. Or is it because the game is so often played from the most zoomed-out perspective the camera can manage, encouraging aloof detachment from the carnage below? Indeed, developers Gas Powered Games joke about making a DS version while I'm visiting, one where the hundreds of on-screen units - joined in Forged Alliance by those of a fourth race, the alien Seraphim - never become more detailed than the dancing dot-patterns such maxi-zoom makes them. Forged Alliance is a second chance to prove you're more than a bloodthirsty maniac. Is it because SupCom's armies consist only of machines, the vast majority of which are entirely disposable? If that was your complaint, I'd argue that not being satisfied unless you know that's a living, irreplaceable thing spraying its internal organs onto the ground is more a reflection on your soul than SupCom's. The trouble is, it has negative preconceptions to fight. Standalone expansion pack Forged Alliance hopes to change that.
SupCom, by contrast, is the geek - the quiet one with a mighty mind throbbing furiously away behind his acquired-taste looks, but whose questionable social skills make it hard for him to make friends. There have been some accusations, for instance that Supreme Commander can feel a little soulless compared to one of its more accessible peers such as Company of Heroes or Command & Conquer 3 - the jocks of RTS, the cool, popular kids who look purrrretty fine to you even if they're not, strictly speaking, your type. The jock versus geek war wages even on the most microscopic scale.
