PT Boats: Knights of the Sea interview with Maxim Romako, lead designer - News

Print 6. Tell us a bit more about the story in PT Boats. I know that the action takes place in World War II, but nothing else...
Game events take place in three basic battlefields: the Baltic, Black, and Northern seas. We've designed six episodes. Each episode comprises up to five, six missions. In each mission the gamer will have an opportunity to act for one of the warring parties: German, Russian, and British. The in-game missions are based off real events of the World War II; however they do not bear any direct historical or geographical reference.
7. What types of missions will PT Boats have and what will the missions involve?
There will be various types of missions: attack and defense of escorts and transport routes, search and destruction of submarines, attack and defense of ground constructions such as air stations, supply bases, coastal batteries.
8. Will the ships, airplanes and submarines look like the real models that were used in World War II?
All the game models are based on authentic photographs, engineering and working drawings of 1940-1945.
9. Will there be real damage, explosions, torpedo camera or any other "special effects" like that?
We have made realistic damage visualization like fire on the board, explosions, and units deformation. The rotating camera allows players to view the game unit at different angles.
10. When will we be able to play PT Boats? Will there be an editor for missions/scenarios available?
The game is slated for Q4 2007.
11. Thank you! Any final thought you would like to share with our readers?
Thanks for the chance to give a more detailed description of what we're doing. We completely realize that the game has been cooking for quite a while already and a lot of naval sim fans are looking forward to finally tasting it but we would really love to make that good enough to cater to the needs of various categories of gamers - from casual to most professional ones. Please be patient for some more time and we'll do our best not to disappoint you.
We've also added a few exclusive screenshots in our PT Boats gallery. Check them out!

Although it does not include all the patch notes, I thought I'd add this now so you get the general idea of what will change in the next major World of Warcraft Patch 2.4.0.
The image on the Blizzard Entertainment Splash Page is updated, continuing to raise expectations that an announcement is forthcoming from this weekend's Worldwide Invitational event.
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that The Sims Castaway Stories for the PC is on store shelves across Europe.
Tornado & LightHouse PhysX Mod maps for UT3 ready for download now.
Although Pro Street has been released, EA continues to create new patches for Carbon.
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.
"A murder?...a suicide?...an accident?...a coincidence?... Follow the evidence and find the moment of truth. It's all about the evidence and more like the show than ever" We'll see...
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
must have rogue macros
must have priest macros
must have mage macros
must have druid macros
Just for you, some Medieval 2 cheats.
| PT Boats Knights of the Sea January 18, 2010 Anticipation is generally a good thing, but when it hits a certain level the results can be devastating, if the object of the eagerness is less then perfect. I've played the preview version of PT Boats: Knights of the Sea and it made such a strong impression on me that I've been waiting for the final product ever since. The result is more then satisfying and although there are still a few issues to be addressed, overall this is an amazingly accurate and exciting naval action simulator.
