If Sonalysts made a new game... - Page 29

Now that's not fair .. why would I want to confuse anyone with April joke ?

Hawk66 · 04-01-11, 06:54 AM

at least now it's resolved and the hype is over...but to be fair the sonalysts guys have not created it...anyways then their statements some months ago would not make any sense, so it was pretty clear that no new sim is on the horizon...
...back to good old 'Red Storm Rising'

@Sonalysts: If you want to get inspiration for a DW-sucessor: Play 'Red Storm Rising' and pay especially attention to the simple, yet fascinating dynamic campaign engine and also of the 'captains' point of view in that game.

Also a tablet PC version should be considered seriously in my opinion.

The fact that this might be an april fools joke is a good possibilaty. But even if its not its still an joke of epic proportion . An unmanned sub game based on DW . This is even a step backwords from DW. They might have well named this thread , What if sonalists made a step backwards from DW?

I rest my case.

OK guys give yourselves some time to process and look at the full picture before you start having spastic fits. There is a lot this opens up and my guess this is just a first step.

One thing that popped into my mind was now we see the non-commercial engine, so can we reconcile the engine with the regular game? I for one would love to get DW working using the proper engine and realistic tonal and propagation data.

I am also wondering if this project is intended to be something to help justify work on a new engine. Once this project is finished the follow on would likely require a new engine to take the research any farther. There is a lot of money out there for DARPA projects and if some of it happens to help fund a new toy for us over brainy cyber geeks who are we to bitch.

I really think too many of us fail to appreciate the desire of SCS to maintain a close relationship with this community. Given the security level of their work any that have served on a boat or in a high security position should know releasing ANY of their work is always an uphill battle.

I checked DARPA's site and this is not a joke peoples...

from pdf

Quote:

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has initiated the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) program to address this deficiency.

...

...for development and at-sea demonstration of unmanned surface vessel autonomous algorithms for submarine tracking and Rules of the Road compliance; and Sonalysts, based in Waterbury, Conn., for development of an exploratory crowd-sourced tactics simulator.

Oh and for those who think that this is a joke of a game. Remember how you this may influence the policy and tactics of the US Navy for years to come!

It's a bad joke if it's not a joke. Come on .. why would you announce some product on April 1st ?

Underwater view should not be wavy .. I wonder who came with this cliche

To: NewCapitan.

All these models not from original game.

The guys from SCS were unable to draw even such models.

Especially - default model a Typhoon.

Molon Labe · 04-01-11, 02:32 PM

So are those pics the April Fools joke? Transparent water from above? Wake-generating masts? Looks too good to be true.
