Silent Hunter III goes gold

Re: Silent Hunter III goes gold

I have So many copies of AOD it isn't even funny, the original 3 1/2 floppys, the CD verison and the Command: AOD win 95 version. Plus I still have many copies of the Map it came with, AOD was a great game. SH I was good but AOD was still way better. BTW: Subsim is a website that most most of the SH III coverage as the admin over there is in contact with the SH3 Dev team, you could check it out sometime www.subsim.com

that website rules! of course you have to like submarines...It will be interesting to see if they put out a sub game with more modern subs, vs. WWII subs. It'd be cool to have to run a mission with a modified Los Angeles class, Seawolf class, or even an Ohio class sub...maybe a cold war game or something

Have you heard about Dangerous Waters? It came out last week and is made by the same people who made 688i - http://www.battlefront.com/products/dw/index.html

Re: Silent Hunter III goes gold

YES AOD! Great game. and the MAPS!!
Now I have to dig those out. I remember digging out the maps from the game directories for Silent Service II and trying to print them out on an old B+W printer.
I don't know how my wife has put up with my shinnanegans(sp?) for 18 years.
She's watched me creeping around in dungeons(Ultima Underworld)...flying jetfighters with my crazy setups of throttles and joysticks....driving laps at Talladega with my 20 or so different wheel setups from the original Thrustmaster Driving System to my current ECCI TrackStar6000(a truly UNBELIEVABLE wheel)
She should be up for sainthood!

I loved AOD, it's probably one of the best games ever, its campaign system was truely innovatign a superb. Its a shamy Dynamix doesn't make games anymore, I'd love to see an AOD2 but with SH3 days away I guess we won't have to worry.

SUBSIM also has an exclusive hands on preivew of the campaign engine check it out here - http://www.subsim.com/ssr/sh3_rc1/sh3_mar05_dc1.htm
And a quote "Let's end the suspense right now. From what I've seen so far, the Dynamic Campaign in Silent Hunter III is virtually identical to the career mode in Aces. " - OMFG!!!! I've been waiting for a true sucessor to AOD since 1993!

that's frickin awesome! to be able to take the sub out to a patrol square and see what happens, rather than the stupid scripted "Take the sub and destroy this ship" type stuff...you have no clue what is going to be there, gotta love the uncertainty. This is a must buy for me

Re: Silent Hunter III goes gold

Did anyone else play the old PC game "Wolfpack".

That game was freaking awesome. Multiple subs involved in action, etc.

That and Das Boot..waaaaaay back in the old DOS days of the early 90s.

Yep, I have Wolfpack and Grey Wolf, Das Boot was a bit before my time though. What was really cool was the Ship Recognition manuals that the Europeans got with SH3, don't know why it wasn't released in the US.
