radar Kursk, the game based on a 2000 Russian submarine disaster, will be out this year

http://www.pcgamer.com/kursk-the-gam...out-this-year/

Quote:
Kursk is a game about a nuclear-powered Russian submarine that was lost along with its entire crew in the year 2000. Developer Jujubee first mentioned it in 2015 and then went quiet, but in a blog post this week it revealed more details about what type of game Kursk will be and confirmed a 2018 release date for PC.

Jujubee said it'll be the "first fully fledged adventure-documentary game in history". A bold claim, but not particularly revealing. However, they also said it'll be a first-person sandbox game about exploring the ship and uncovering its secrets through a variety of gameplay mechanics. "The game takes advantage of an entire collection of mechanics and solutions that have been worked out by the game industry over the years, and uses them to tell a specific story." Players will be met with new ideas throughout the ten-hour story, it said.

The circumstances of the real-world disaster have not yet been fully explained, which allows the developer some creative wiggle room. You'll control a spy who is trying to gain information about Shkval supercavitating torpedoes, which Jujubee said were "of interest to all major intelligence services in the world at the time". Most of the game will take place on the Kursk submarine, but you'll also visit Moscow and the garrison town of Vidyayevo.

It's quite well-established that the reason for the sinking was a fire caused by hydrogen peroxide which then detonated two torpedo warheads.

I think using fictional name for OSCAR class submarine would be little bit weird, because everyone would knows what real name is behind fictional one.

We will see how people will vote with wallets and torrents. I hope it will be good game and i'm sure that most players who today names this game as "tasteless" will buy/pirate this title very quickly.

This is probably the case. I would hope the had lengthy discussions on this one, and came to the conclusion that no matter how they tried to rename it, people would know what boat it really was.

I really dislike the whole notion of announcing DLC for a game that isn't even out.

Oh ye of low conspiratorial meanderings.

You are quite correct that it was not sunk by the Russian Navy because her commander and crew were defecting with all its technologies to the capitalist dogs of Cheeto hair brained ideas.

The Kursk was sunk by the same thing that always sinks ships in the water.

Science.

I find the screen shots a bit annoying. There was no visual fog or haze inside the Kursk.

Looks visually stunning; it'd be nice if at least part of this was available on disc for those of us dinosaurs who'd at least like to explore, because we don't have the inclination or wherewithal to struggle with an internet connection to "Steam" (who I presume will have bid by now to get this all to themselves?)

Video and trailer

Quote:
Earlier today, developers Jujubee released a brand new trailer for the upcoming documentary-adventure game Kursk. The game, which tells the story of the Russian atomic submarine K-141 Kursk and its sinking, has no release date yet, but is currently in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The trailer (below) doesn’t reveal too much about the game, but does give us an ominous monologue from one of the crew members aboard the submarine about the tranquility of it all.

For this game the developer already designed the interior of the Kursk submarine, I will wait for a sim SH style, with the same scenario
