Do you think 1914 shells of fury is copying silent hunter?

silentrunner · 08-03-07, 03:44 PM

I looked at the screens of shells of fury and it seems to me like the set up is almost the same as Silent Hunter's; what do you think?

I'm still going to buy it though!!!

although it might have the same kind of graphics and such from SH2. it is NOT made by Ubisoft (Ubischoft :rotfl

and it is WW1 wich Ubisoft didnt think off. and to be honnest. i rather play 1914 Shells Of Fury than SHIV

I thought Ubi just published it. I could have sworn I saw Strategy First as the makers of SH3.

I am always interested in hearing about things like the above, real-life stuff. This is gaming, but to have been there...., I have nothing but respect\admiration for all veterans.

Doesn't look too bad I guess... http://www.shells-of-fury.de/

Features:
- World-wide first U-boat simulation of the WWI period.
- Play from the German perspective.
- More than 50, partially historically correct, missions in 3 campaigns.
- Four different German U-boats playable: Fleet gasoline boat, Fleet diesel boat, UB-I and UC-II.
- Several enemy combat units, including Ironclads, Destroyers, Zeppelins and Aircraft.
- Player-determined realism degree for varying degrees of difficulty.
- Real-time play possible.
- Free bonus on DVD: Small WWI encyclopedia.

But isn't it based on the SH2 engine???

Anyway, I'm keeping an eye out on this... http://www.pt-boats.net/

No, it is a stand alone game, submarines yes, but totally different time period thus unique.

I know that, what I am asking is, is it based on the SH2 game engine? I am not asking if it is an addon for SH2 (note SH2, not SH3). It's just that I'm sure I read somewhere that it uses SH2's game engine. I just want to know for sure as this may give an indication as to how the campaign is structured.

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr · 08-04-07, 12:44 AM

i dont care if it has the SH2 engine or not, it isnt made by Ubisoft and is COMPLEETED

wich is way different that Ubisoft.
i also didnt find any game buggs yet. and sank a few ships

if i need a break of SH3, be sure to find me in 1914

Heibges · 08-04-07, 01:25 AM

I would say every subsim copies Silent Service 2, if not the original Silent Service.

I never played Gato, though, and I have heard that name pop up also.

USS Sea Tiger · 08-05-07, 06:19 AM

WOW,, it is out somewhere already??

to those in the know,,

Can the units in it be converted/modified at all??

Are repaints/retexturing possible? (wanting the UBI to be in Austria markings)

How is the boat handeling? and are the zepps player controlled or just out there??

sorry,, but excitd to get my hands on this game
