Trailer didn't really show much but I am a Game Labs fanboi. I hope there are coastal fortifications players can bombard and duel with. The mention of 'pure single player' warms the cold ashes of my gaming heart.

Combat mission is only PVP.  I'd love to see them add coop.  You could finally pull off the multi battalion scenario by delegating different taskforces to your buddies.

Spent the past couple months putting my study level 737 and A320 through the paces in MSFS2020.  I can't say how awesome it is to have a world map that's decently modeled right out of the box.  This whole DCS map thing is going to have to be redone.  They really should offer a global map that's moderately detailed, and let people buy upgraded areas if they choose to.  Half the time servers don't even run these maps cause people just don't buy them.

Quote from: Destraex on Today at 04:51:06 PMA real shame as even if players do not play multiplayer a lot practise single player knowing that one day the opportunity to playnwith friends or against them is an option. That is usually my philosophy when buying games. I want to know their is something more at the end of the single player experience with it's often limited AI.

You have a lot of competition in this area of which most have multiplayer:
Warno
Combat mission
Broken arrow

Plus a tonne of operational level games that often have multi

I will stick to warno but know that I would probably like your game better if it had multiplayer coop.

There is also a large contingent of people that like this type of game and don't have any desire to have a multiplayer component.  Moreover, they lament the amount of developer time that has recently been devoted to multiplayer at the expense of the single player experience.

There are a lot of multiplayer wargames, but there is still a market for single player wargames.  It is a rare specimen, and often requires a large budget, to pull off both with one title.

Looks pretty good, I don't mind the single player focus, but I'd at least think there should be the ability to coop with friends.  Look how much play helldivers gets with it's pve coop. 

The boarding will have to be fps combat, I'm sorry but if we're going to be doing things with more sim level focus, how is boarding going to be some rock, paper, scissors mini game ?

Still, I look forward to see what the come up with.

Strange way of doing it. I initially read it as the early access module being $20 and you get the full map later or later you pay $40 in ealry access when the larger map is available even if its still early access.

I wonder what the reason was for the devs deciding to release a smaller map first. Must be a vast area to model?

Computer Gaming / Sea Legends by Naval Actions d...
Last post by Destraex - Today at 04:41:17 PM
Sea Legends is finally on steam to be wishlisted.
This game has been in the pipeline for many years now and is by the same devs as naval action.
I love the concept of a more detailed ship interior than naval action, but at the same time the role of Naval Officer's closest facsimile is Privateer Captain. Because of this ship sizes will be more like sloop size or smaller probably up to a maximum of frigate.
You won't be collecting ships in this one and there seems to be no multiplayer support. I remember originally the devs mentioning originally that some pvp elements like drop in enemy players may be present but no mention of any multiplayer feature at all.

This thing after all these years is still goong to be early access and their boarding mechanics (which were a sore point in naval action) will be kept a secret until it is out of early access.
The game is now slated as a traditional no instances self contained game.

I am pretty excited about this one still because I am pretty sure they will do an amazing job with the ships over and above what naval action already did very well. I hope we will be pulling individual sails up and down because sea legends is described as a simulator.

Pre-orders are open for the Halfghanistan map. I was surprised and disappointed by some of the omissions from the included geography, but who am I kidding? I'll get it.

Apparently, eastern and northern Afghanistan are in the works. It is not clear to me whether there will be separate charges for these maps or if they will come with the initial SW purchase. Based on the store page, this initial module can be purchased for $23.99 now, or you can pay $48.99 for the entire map now. Both prices are reduced for EA.
