Pacific Storm



  • Official web page: LINK
  • Genre: RTS/Strat/Sim
  • Release date: Real soon
  • Story/Description:
    Quote:

    Pacific Storm is a game about the war in the Pacific between the U.S. and Japan. It has the elements of a global strategy, tactical game and an arcade air simulator. Playing either for the United States or Imperial Japan, you walk through a dramatic sequence of large-scale naval and air military operations. The game covers the time from 1940 - 1948. As you play, you can develop new technologies, build and deploy new weapon systems or even change history. Thanks to a smooth and seamless combination of strategy, tactics and simulator, you are completely free to take whatever strategic or tactical decisions you consider best or abandon for a time all strategy and tactics and inhabit any of your units so as to take part in the fighting personally. Steel Monster's gameplay combines exceptional depth and scale of the strategic mode, superior authenticity of the tactical mode and exciting dynamics of the simulator.

    The game offers:

    • Three genres (strategy, tactics and simulator).
    • Large-scale naval and air operations in the Pacific from 1940 - 1948.
    • Capability to change history as the global campaign develops.
    • Large selection of accurately reproduced historical scenarios.
    • Units that possess learning capabilities.
    • 3D graphics.
    • Ability to develop new technologies - from increasing the power rating of aircraft engines to guided missiles technology, biological and nuclear weapons.

    Additional features:

    • Weather (fog, wind, rain) impact in the strategic mode.
    • Truly global map of the Pacific, including Japan, Australia, western United States, Oceania and part of India.
    • Simple and intuitive game control in the strategic mode, allowing effective base management, mission planning and fuel supply management.
    • Several time control options (slowdown, acceleration, controlled pause).
    • Ability to establish new naval bases in the course of the game.
    • Reconnaissance and surveillance using aircraft, ships and radar systems.

    Your fleet in Pacific Storm includes battleships, aircraft carriers, destroyers, cruisers, missile cruisers, submarines and torpedo boats as well as tankers and transports. The aerial war is conducted using fighters (at first - piston-powered and at later stages - jet fighters), attack aircraft, torpedo bombers and strategic bombers. There are 86 types of units, all carefully modeled from WWII-era aircraft and ships, in the game. Also, you can develop new technologies and create new weapons systems, which may almost instantly overturn the global balance of power. About 100 technological improvements (upgrades) enhancing combat effectiveness of warships and military aircraft are available. In addition to the strategic mode with its 127 different Pacific zones and 40 naval bases, you can play 20 historical battles, including the Battle of Midway, the shooting down of Japanese admiral Yamamoto's plane and the battle for Guadalcanal.

    Pacific Storm is all about battleships and aircraft carriers - the giants of naval warfare during WWII - about captains and admirals, as well as rank-and-file soldiers and sailors of the two great military powers, that locked in a life-and-death conflict. In Pacific Storm you can become Commander-in-Chief, responsible for the lives of thousands of servicemen and the destiny of your country, commanding officer of a small squadron or even an ordinary military pilot, fighting in the sky over the Pacific. And, gradually, as you play, from all these separate bits and pieces will emerge one impressive picture of the great and fierce battles fought in the Pacific during WWII.

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk was just going onto the local game site to buy it.... (its pretty cheap.. bout 2/3ds the price of a normal game)

then i realised....

STARFORCE.... fark sake.... i just read this on the official forums (posted by the dev)

"The publisher on each territory will choose wheather to protect or not and what kind of protection to use. Since SF functions were embedded in the current exe-file of the demo, the exe file had to be protected so that simple comparison of exe files would not break SF protection. We know about various SF issues and we've put our word in but it will depend on the publishers."

The only thing that sucks is that they apparently had enough money to hire a Japanese guy to do the voice overs for the Japanese forces, while they had some Russian with an accent thicker than J-Lo's ass doing the English voices... It sounds unbelievably gay...

It is very good, and I would buy it too if it wasn't cause it is using starforce for protection. I aint having that on my computer no matter how good I think a game is. I'll buy it if Reloaded come out with a crack for it so I wont need to install the starforce drivers.

Their forum says that the game is published by CDV, and that they have dropped starforce. Thus this game will not ship with it.

The Developers said the TAGES protection caused the bugs, so the US version should be ok. Hopefully.
