Pacific Storm

[Ghostly_Substance]

Well its a RTS and Flight Sim game in one and thanks to Garbageben I was able to know about this I was also searching for a great WW2 flight sim and this seems to be sweet.

Well this caught my attention in the first video then the second since this game actually offeres what Silent Hunter 3 (Submarine game but i'm pointing out a timeline effect). Well in this game you can control any unit (Well they worded it that way) and have access to any tech and actually upgrade units with techs barely used or created just after the war ended. Think of it like Battlefield 1942 mixed in with Rise of Legends and set in the Pacific (USA vs Japan).

 

What i'm hoping this will have:

- Multiplayer - One person could command units and hop into Flight mode while the second player could actually do the same but if i'm second player i'll hop into the cockpit and actually do some real damage.

- Multiplayer - Actually having more then 2 people in battle real time in an area.

- Multiplayer - Skirmish - Chose when and what to battle and choosing which units to use. Have one Squadron of prototypes and I could actually ownage

 

Ok enough day dreaming for me and actually find out when it'll release and where.

Definitly a cool game. Release date says Q4 05, but it has to have been delayed till next year. Anyhow I hope to get it if I have any money by then.

Well then from what I read you can control any unit or so gamespot says so when my plane goes down I could hop in a boat and someone could take care of the planes Well then next year? I read on their forums that there'll be problems with shipping to North America? Time to check on the other game like this.

 

Dam this is one hell of a sweet plane

Well I downloaded a flight sim demo and that flight sim game is all messed up, "Heroes of the Pacific". Cant wait for this Pacific Storm game since I could control any unit but i'm still searching for a great Combat Flight Sim. ANybody know of any ?

Damn with the back up with 4 months behind it should teach us to watch what we're doing and to back things up regularyly  : Mistakes happen 

 

Anywho since the subsection is now gone i'ma bump this up and now praise Buka for making the Allies expansion since it adds in Germany with the Bismark  Wonder if they have Tripitz (the sister ship) in there since thats also the most annoying ship ever also  ;D Have that along with Yamato and the Allies will be running with their tails between their legs. Nah i'm not just going to have them flashships going alone since i'd also add in flak ships and destroys that destroy subs and aircraft carriers to kill off planes.

 

What i'm looking forward to is co-oping on the map if that even possible  to bad Hunter and Drony got their account deleted from the 4 month old back-up

Ghostly - give me a hand - you add and edit board names and descriptions in the admin/boards pannel. Look closely - it is quite easy to use the "Add board" button and modify and move them. Just don't press delete

Well Sergei told me that you guys don't have full control over that site because Buka is in charge. If it was one of your forums it will have been hosted on your Lesta server.

It is all in terms of management and finance. Some pictures from GC2006.

Someone looks a little bored  ;D

Ha ha ha .... I never noticed that.

[Ghostly_Substance]

Hmm I wonder, is there any thoughts on Co-op campaign like each player gets a nation like Germany or Japan or is that only in missions? I like my accomplishments in games to actually stick over time and parade them into friendly territory  Possible to have co-op campaign or are you only sticking to missions?

[Hunter_pff]

What i'm hoping this will have:

- Multiplayer - One person could command units and hop into Flight mode while the second player could actually do the same but if i'm second player i'll hop into the cockpit and actually do some real damage.

- Multiplayer - Actually having more then 2 people in battle real time in an area.

PS supports up to 8 players in real time battle. There is no MP mode for strategy level, because it would be just as slow as play any turn based strategy like Civilization at final stages, but in real time at that.

I don't know if these are minimum or recommended

It is lowest configuration that allows to launch PS with minor quality.

[Ghostly_Substance]

Not to poke at you or anything but I found Civ 4 pretty fast paced when you have 10 hours to spare in a day and the age advancements in each also as fast. I was annoyed that I also wanted to lock the age where I can only rule with my Samurai or with my German Panzers like in Rise of Nations. Well you know stay in the age of Medieval or WW2 times.  : I didn't play Civ 4 much but when I did (out of 5-8 times) it was all fast and quick.

 

Battle for Middle Earth 2 - The War of the Ring mode I think it was? Well basically you have this map of where you can start and you control territory by territory and everytime you control one you keep it and choose what to build there. Its something similar to PS(:A) I guess since you control territory by territory and on land maps you build bases? I don't know if your following me on BFME 2 but if you do that helps. What I don't want to point out is that your friends don't join your fight to help control units (more on that below). Its a almost good example but if you never played it then below or above (Civ 4) example should help.  :

 

Well in Pacific Storm would like to see Co-op but as you said there won't be one. Won't bother me much but just dropped my satisifaction down only by like 2% out of 92%. I know you guys said no co-op but let me at least say what I want  Well i'm used to partnering up with people in world maps ingame and basically choosing territories and taking over others and with a friend who also shares territory and on your side 100%. Well I see where your getting with major combat near the end in these campaign style maps where battles just get more insane per battle and would take longer. If thats the case then all your friends would join you in each battle one by one by controlling your units. For example friendly with friendly and enemy players with enemy players  :But yes I know this is going to get shot down but just wanted to say what was on my mind.
