Interview with PT Boats Knights of the Sea

Detritus · 11-13-06, 10:26 PM

I'm not actually surprised, though definitely disappointed. Some news tidbits and the movies made it pretty clear this is not a sim but shooter-on-sea. RTS elements? Meh, couldn't care less. Don't know how much the publisher actually has been calling the shots here but neither way they're bloody idiots. Naval theme doesn't attract people that much but if they'd allowed this to be a full blown sim, the sim community at least would've been interested. RTS clickers we don't need. And what's the point of releasing this if it's Baltic and Black Sea only? What about English Channel and North Sea? Pacific? I'll pass this one.

IMHO they should keep the two elements seperate SIM and RTS. Have one or the other.

I believe I read in another interview that North Sea is in, hopefully it's true.
I think that it might be worth purchasing if for no other reason than to encourage Akella to do more with WWII. Hopefully all of the stuff they "may" deliver in addon/patches will also come along in the future.

Each to his own but I'm not gonna give my money to Akella to 'encourage' them or so that they 'may' add stuff to patches. Consumer is king and this consumer isn't looking for this kind of product= no money. Hopefully I'm dead wrong for dissing the game, but it doesn't look like it right now.

Yuri has told me that they are thinking about add-ons in different patches.
