If anyone is on the fence about it, I'm a playtester and can recommend it.
As a teaser, here is the latest release video:

A couple of my playtesting clips are used in the video.  Now, according to Andy Warhol, the world still owes me 14:59 of fame...  :laugh:

In my shopping cart instantly! Probably not the best idea as I had been avoiding buying new games at all this year so far (aside from some upcoming things like this), and now I have... um...... just under $155 of games in the cart.

Need to make some adjustments. But this stays in.  :cool: (And probably Sea Power which I'm getting on a bundle discount with this.)

Well, that is a pretty lousy video. It has no hints of gameplay in it at all. No UI visible ever.

Yes thank you for always having been around when it counted Tripoli  :smitten:

As for the trailer, it's a trailer. People who want to see how the game works nowadays are one click away from watching Wolfpack, Rimmy and others do that in all their glory. But that one wargame is betting on things the genre doesn't usually provides (looks & realtime immersion) and that's what we'll be banking on - that, and we have JP Ferré of DCS fame making the videos, so I am not going to tell him how to do his job  :grin:

Thank you, my good man!

Here is the not 8.5 hour Rimmy stream! -- wow that sounded better in my head before I typed it...


To be clearer, this is his humorously compiled demo footage pre-release.

And Wolfpack's entry

It's amazing how much fun Rimmy is having JUST WAITING FOR HIS BIG WING STRATEGY! -- and realizing it isn't going to work, and why it isn't going to work.

This game is pure Pacific War porn.  I'm still figuring things out, but this is simply a dream come true. 

There is so much potential here!  Right now I've just been playing with the battle generator, not the full scenarios.  When the tools are released to create our own scenarios, this is going to be simply insane.

Well done!

Meanwhile back to actual TF gameplay instead of possibilities 20 years down the line...  :evil:

All these cinematics are very nice, but are there any videos that show gameplay and UI?

The_Admiral

This way kind Sir


Besides, watching Wolfpack plays will get you through each command with added context.

Hope it helps!

Cheers
