New flack gun video out (http://media.ubi.com/emea/sh3/videos/tutorial_flakgun.wmv)
-
the flak gun is overmodelled :D
I can't wait for the game to be available at the stores.. it has gone gold, but it still takes too long time to reach the stores!
...especially back here.

March 16th. March 16th!!!!!!!

I can't remember the last time I counted down the day's till a release but this one has had me marking off the calander for almost a year now. And finally into the final few weeks! Can't wait should be a great release and imho possible the best sub sim if not the best sim overall ever.

It is going to have to be an order of magnitude better than that buggy POS that was SH2/DC for me to buy it.
Please post reviews people.

Yes isn't it sad how the fastest way to get certain titles is to *cough* download them.
-
Is it true multiplayer? I know you can have several players manning one sub, but are the targets/adversaries manned by other players, or are they just AI?

To me it seems like they've put alot more effort into this than the previous one.
I'd gladly post reviews, if the game would be available....
-
It would be cool if they could create a multiplayer code that would enable several games to work in one world.
Then others could play a sub game, others destroyers, third merchant ship simulation, fourth fly aeroplanes etc.
Each game would have individual modelling and engine but similar net code.
-
That's looking really good.

Nice graphics.
I still like the original one, though.

SH2 and DC were buggy Beasts.
And I was very dissapointed. But after patches the game was great.

How can you like the original when you haven't even played this one yet? Games aren't like old muscle cars. This is better in ever regard and alot more detail in many different areas.

I haven't played this one because it isn't out yet. :p
I got as far as the training in the SH2 series. I decided I liked my sub sims simple to learn and simple to play. I save my higher brain cells for AH2.

Exactly it isn't out yet so how can you compare it to the orginal and say one is better then the other???
If you like your sims dumbed down I'm sure you can crank all the sliders all the way down to console mode.
As for AH2 requiring any great amounts of thought to play that's just hilarious.

It releases Wednesday. Paid all bills, even shopped and stuffed the freezer fulla steaks, restocked the beer frig, put wine in the common frig so they don't get 32 1/2 degrees in the beer climate computer room small frig.
Bring it on. AH2 has been a blast these last 2 weeks, but this is where I'll be at.

I didn't say I liked the original one better, I just said I liked the original one. I can't compare to SH3 because SH3 isn't out yet!

They might release a Destroyer Command addition, like they did in SH2. But I havnt read anything about it.
DC was fun multiplayer, A 4 on 4 was always fun when it worked.
I was a Type Vii with 1 other Sub Commander trying to sneak in some harbor in Norway or Sweden. I entered the harbor in very shallow water, I went to Silent Run, and turned and placed to bow towards the entrance, a few minutes later I started hearing my first contacts.
Here came the enemy, An English Destroyer, the first entered the harbor fast, And I fired a two shot spread, I dropped my scope and waited. Missed!
I put the scope back up low, just above the water, The Destroyer was turning right towards me. I put the boat in reverse, And prepared to fire again, He was closing extremly fast, At 800 Yards I fired my other two eels. WHAM! His burning hull slid past my boat at less than 20 yards.
Great Game.

CreamPuff - I'll look forward to seeing you in there then. My handle will be my old WB handle of scrmbl. Release date here is March 16, so you'll have head start on me.
Speaking of heads, I met a guy at the Eurocon in Holland last weekend, and he had a head like yours - completely shiny. He was even more drunk than I was, and didn't object when I did the Benny Hill headslap routine on his head. LOL
-
If only AH had subs :D
-
creamo, where is it being released on wed? ebworld is usually spot on and they still show 3/15
patiently waiting on this one too. mvp2005/gt4/dw are all keeping me busy until then :)

I was bitten by the UBI bug on the last one where they had to add a 3rd party programmer just to get the multiplayer netcode to work...
If you want a rehash subsim.com has some forums on that..
Looks great.. its potential is there but it seems UBI doesn't support their games very well.. Lock- on (third party matching service wtf...) + SHII being 2 that come to mind...
you fellas crashtest dummy it for us would ya...
DoctorYo
The manual TDC looks pretty good.. crewmembers etc... looks like a neat game if it works.. (SHII Destroyer Command fiasco.)

Droool.
I love sub sims.

with graphics like that?
Doom3 was 3 CDROM's, i'd expect this to be at least 4-5 CD's
what's that 2.9GB+?
-
Electronic Boutique moose, unless I gave my $ to my friend Eric last night as he mentioned that date and he is investing it somehow in junk bonds or something.
Beetle, you can find me playing Rooks on Sun-Mon-Tues nights as CK2112 with the Fat Drunk Bastards. You're too weird to game with in a wolf pack or any game that is kinda personal. No offense.
-
lol Creamo....you sure don't "mince words".
JB73...yea, but I have DSL, shouldn't take more than a day or two. ;) (Good point...I'll have to order it)
-
O'Club Virtual Flotilla?
I'm game.
-
oh yeah, im def. down for that!
-
What.... So you guys like this or something? With Gixer on this one, am counting down the days.
BTW... thnx much for brining this sim to my attention all, though am more than happy to keep paying HTC's fee for the best game ever made.
-
FYI guys - this puppy is DVD only.
Lucky for me I found out now so I could pick up a DVD drive from newegg before my preordered SH3 gets here.

Update moose; I was wrong. Looks like the actual release date is as you stated, so says Eric after I told him about your post and I apologize. Not that I want to still multiplayer with Beetle. First he wants to marvel at my shiney head, next he will want to shine my helmet. I have watched British prison movies, it's not good anyway I look at it. Anyway, sorry about the mixup.
-
no biggie, mvp2004 was moved up a week a few days before it came out so i wouldn't have been surprised if it really was this wed..
played my first multiplayer mission in dangerous waters the other night.. crewed a ffg with 2 other guys vs two seawolves and we smoked em both, it was pretty fun
-
LOL CreamPuff! I'll settle for a Benny Hill head slap. ;)

It also is going to have some type of encryption that a lot of people are not going to buy it just because of.
Did you read that too?
Check the Subsim Forums, I was emailed a link by 7th Flotilla HQ.

Cool.

BE WARNED
"According to its copyprotection, you can only install this game 5 times. So those who do regular formats or major upgrades will get only 5 chances to install the game. Is part of the Starforce protection scheme"
Hope this guy is just hallucinating and an anti-starforce freak.
