Any Pacific Storm discussion?

Hunter · 05-26-06, 08:09 AM

The largest US-based video games portalâ€”IGN.comâ€”has nominated Pacific Storm by Lesta Studio on Best Strategy Game award as ultimate Pacific naval war game. The game was presented along with Company of Heroes (Relic/THQ); Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth II (EA); Medieval 2: Total War (Creative Assembly/Sega).

This is where I'm headed.

Get the demo and try it. Has great 3D tactical play on a massive scale. Ships, planes are all drivable. It is an RTS, but doesn't necessarily have to be played that way if you just want to get into the action.

Should be out August 1. It's already out in Russia. An addon has already been written and will be available for the English version too.

It's where I'm headed for my next game. It will be moddable too, as we've already been modding the demo. Get the demo and try it.

I DLed the demo and tried to play it but the interface would not
work for me like it is supposed too. I NEVER saw a pic like was posted
in the first post? I don't know if the demo just doesn't work right or
what. They must make if more user friendly if I am to buy it.....

I dunno what the problem is, Jim. That pic at the top of the thread looks sorts like SH3 to me, but it does have the little unit icon triangles like Pacific Storm does..

Here a screen for you from Pacific Storm. Lots of action. Many planes in the sky, lots of ships possible (well, not in the demo). Lots of flack, antiaircraft, etc. I'm sold.

Yeap, It is from Pacific Storm. Outlook of this game depends much of detalization

I ,for sure, didn't get ANY shots like that in the demo! All I saw was a top
down view of different triangles & stuff with a somewhat detailed map.
If the demo doesn't accurately portray the game details, how is the player
supposed to tell if he wants to buy it or not. Maybe I just didn't hit the
right keys but I tried to access everything the game let me. I just didn't get
very far in doing it. In fact, I couldn't do much of anything but watch?????

Jim, check out the readme in the main game folder. I think it has the keyboard codes.
