Bamboozled
Just woke up 10.30 am here, catching up with the last 10 or so pages of this thread, what an anti-climax for the guys that counted it down hehe
Checked 2advanced a few minutes ago...took about 30 seconds to load up

That's fine, I can TOTALLY see where you're coming from, I think the colour scheme was a bit of a gamble, but only certain colour schemes suit the futuristic style of the site. At the end of the day, they couldn't use the blue / grey theme of the old site, I kinda like the new one, it does work with the style of the site.
I don't think anyone can deny that that is one of the most impressive demo reels ever made by a web design company.
My only complaints are these:
On my Pentium 3 900 - 256 meg ram, 16 mb graphics card, it runs like a DOG.
On anything but broadband it's unusable - but then they're only really targeting high profile people now.
Small qualms but anyway.

All good points. I can see where Richie T is coming from as there was a great deal of hype surrounding the release and I suppose people where expecting something more detached from v3, however I still feel its a good linear progression of the 2A brand.
It is processor intensive i agree but I think that 2A are looking to keep the site for 18 months like v3 so I suppose the base spec will catch up. Not everyone will agree that this is good design principles but like Olli said I think they're target audience with this site is the big boys and not your average pII.

Oh totally. Would be silly of them not to really - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Although, the majority of home users aren't going to have 4ghz P4's with 40000 meg of ram and 2 x 128 mb g/cards that permit the oh so smooth 60 fps that the site warrants.

i'm diggin it...i guess i expected too much though. 2 advanced office janitor has better skills than me. none of what i say is to slight them. but this is THE company and worthy of serious examination. i don't have anything critical to say about it. i like the color combo, complimentary. not as powerful as the dark blue/grey but it pops. the demo reel is slick but i prefer http://fluxen.com/ 'resolve'. The coolest thing about 2advanced is the attention to detail. every little angle has been thought and rethought. gradients resonate perfectly, perfect typography. gonna take a little time to soak it in. tight work...coulda been a little more daring though.

well first of all they really needed a fresh face for the site, for such a big company version3 was not that cuting edge anymore so i'm glad version 4 brings something new about visiting the site.
I love the colors, i won't lie to you, i was expecting something that would leave me with this look and i didn't but i guess is just that expectations were too high because if you see it from a normal point of view (without having in mind it's 2advanced) the site is really good.
in conclusion i was expecting better but i like the site.

Good points, I can see the reason behind going for people with half decent computers and connections, it makes sense to for a company like that.
I was expecting to come on this morning and find this thread reaching page 100 already, it's not going like the usual 2A thread. But that is a good thing I guess lol, nice to have a constructive conversation about them once in a while

Anyone else think that red and blue/green together would have been a little risky to use as main colours? Having said this I do think it panned out fairly well in the end.

Feedback to 2A Studios
I overslept the launch by 2 1/2 hrs. I predicted blood red or crimson at the beginning of that huge bloody thread. heheh
I think 2A is the mercedes of webdesign. These guys detail out everything.
I would love to see 2A let loose and let vectors fly. There work is always very compact and busy. But I guess that's what makes them 2A.
It's just that everyone recognizes their mastery of design, I would like to see them open it up a little.

It has nothing to do with your connection speed. It is taking forever cause everyone and their monkey is trying to view the site.
