Do you think 1914 shells of fury is copying silent hunter? - Page 2

I read JScones remarks about what the game "has as a base of operating" and if that's all 1914 Shells of Fury has to offer, I'll stick with SH3 and GWX.

Looks like Silent Hunter, plays a bit like Enigma, Performs a bit like SHIV.........

.....If only I could convert it to english.

Man i have never heard of this game. But i have played enigma.

Could be promising, if there are any patches, or mods released.

As it is though, it is a little lacking in areas.

I assume from your statement that you have a copy, could you elaborate - does it have a dynamic campaign?

By the way I live in Clare Valley! (did I mention that before?)
Cheers.

I can't really tell, yet. Installed it last night, or was it the night before...?:hmm:
I'll need to get a bit more playtime in before I pass judgement. It will help pass the time waiting for GWX 1.04 anyway.

May have to purchase an english version now.

At least $20 is no great loss.

I do have the original game published last year, in Germany. The answer is No. The campaign is heavily scripted and rather short. So scripted that if restarting missions, ships always appear in the same spot, at the same time, doing the same thing. SH2 deja-vu.

I passed through that way the other day, returning from a 1 month trip to / from Darwin. It was great to finally see a bit of green again.

BTW, I'm in Strathalbyn, and actually my name is Reece too.

The problem with that is when I read comments directed to you, often for a moment I thing they're talking to me.:rotfl:

CB has been doing some research into the mechanics of this game and for those interested there has been quite a lot of discussion on it over here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=120872

That's a damn shame, I was considering a purchase!

Strange, as CB states categorically that the campaign is not scripted at all. I don't have the game yet myself so can't comment. Also, I thought that the game had only been released in the last month or so.

Yeh ... Thats interesting Captain Nemo, I'm starting to think there are 2 versions of the game or something!

As I said, I purchased the version that was launched in Germany last year, under the name 1914 - Schalen des Zorns. It is German-language only.
The version that was launched now is the English-language adaptation, which took them a year to translate. Maybe during this year they also made some changes to the game engine.
For a very competent review of the game, check post #99 of this thread, by a very respected member of Subsim, Deamon.
