When did microprose come back into existence? It was one of my favorite game makers back when Sid and Wild Bill were a part of it. Sadly it will never be THAT Microprose again but I’d love to see a modernized M1 Tank Platoon or Gunship 2000. And maybe they might ACTUALLY succeed at Macintosh the Digital Battleground they touted and never followed through on. That would be great.

Thanks for the video! Aside from Sea Power and Modern Naval Ops this is the one I'm waiting for. The wait is getting egregiously brutal though, I wish we had some sort of early access in the mean time. Obviously, the Japanese WW2 campaign will come after the American WW2 Pacific campaign, so it's crazy to expect a 1980's Falklands campaign anytime yet. Although (assuming we are still alive) I will gladly buy a Falklands module in the future :) Thanks for mentioning the replay system since most people tend to miss that aspect or not understand how cool it is. If its anything like IL-2 BoS or Rise of Flight where we can use slomo and cinematic cameras and view different units anywhere on the map it will be great. Or like ACMI in Tacview. AAR replays allow us to view events in the game that we might've missed during a mission too, as well as study and evaluate tactics, cheers!

They are real history nerds who understand that the people who play their game will also be history nerds. They even plan to have workshop support from day 1. In an era where the big studios make and manage their games in such impassionate ways, this game is so refreshing as a WW2 nerd.

To me, War on the Sea has so much going for it, but submarine gameplay can be really messy. Getting attacked requires a lot of micromanagement, but what often results in me abandoning campaigns is when there isn't enough time compression for an attack. Ultimate Admiral Dreadnaughts also has issues with time compression. Carrier Survival actually doesn't really have issues with time compression that I have seen. But their limited card options definitely create some gameplay issues, and air attacks against the player really don't feel very dangerous. Partly because with the way they are setup there would be little that could be done if they were. I hope this game manages to avoid any serious gameplay issues like many of its peers.
@fyorbane2 жыл бұрын
I thought Microprose were long dead. Great to see them back. I'm a huge naval warfare enthusiast and I am really looking forward to this game. I hope the ships guns/gunnery and armour are all accurately portrayed. So many of these games get it wrong and can be a let down. However I am very hopeful with this one. Speaking of other campaign's how about a Mediterranean WW2 effort. This conflict sadly gets looked over by game developers. Imagine leading the night attack on Taranto against the Italian fleet flying the Swordfish torpedo bomber or trying to re-supply the tiny Island of Malta [flying off Spitfires from your carriers]. Make it so Microprose. You know it makes sense. Here's hoping.

Considering Killerfish used to have its models made in Sweden, and now has them made in Australia, I am not quite sure I follow your train of thought... Or perhaps Sweden is indeed a communist country by your standards, considering the base income tax rate over there ^^ At any rate, don't hesitate to show your models around, especially on artstation for instance. That's where people like us would take notice when we're looking for talents. Presentation is important too in this case! Pitching people usually don't work because that kind of assets need to answer a particular need, at a given time. But when we're in need, we'll start looking around, and then we'll more easily notice you. My 2 cts, hope it helps :)
