vveedd Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 I know about this but this project take too long already and to my opinion we will not see the end. Latest news was that they still looking for engine. Give me a break. :mad: Hubert, on the other hand, is much serious game developer. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 We CAN do an A3R mod using SC2. I've already started something and maybe one of these days I'll finish it. I've already got the Tactics II adaptation in progress. I'll be posting a v1.1 update shortly after the patch gets released, which already shows significant improvement in AI research, purchasing and unit upgrades. It still needs some work on the AI planning scripts, but so far it's shaping up into a challenging little game. I'd also like to do a Russian Front adaptation one of these days. Who knows. My point is that with the SC2 Editor anyone can do these projects. YOU design the map, the units, the events and the AI scripting. It's all there. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Spinello Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I second that, LampCord. However, I found that I´m playing less and less Matrix games. Somehow I seem not to be able to find the "right" game there for me. World at War was too basic, while War in the Pacific is a Micromanagement hell (which makes HOI seem as complex as TicTacToe in comparison). I loved "Uncommon Valor" (because the restricted scope made it much more manageable than War in the Pacific), but somehow it never got patched to a really bug-free state. That´s why I eventually abandoned playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributar Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Your next 'Project'...might be...'The Pacific War 1941 - 1945'!. I'll buy that!!!,...Really!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Spinello Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I feel that the Pacific War would be a "natural" theme for the next game, too. To be sure, there will be scenarios for SC2 covering the Pacific also, but to really get it going the SC2-engine will have to be adapted for this I think.

jon_j_rambo Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 3R is the LAST thing I'd make. He's already got SC & SC-2, it's time to work in a new area...Pacific, Rome Era, U.S. Civil. If you want WW-2 Europe, then go down in scale, Squad Leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markpoll Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Squad Leader would be sensational. I'm more active at Matrix than here and have a number of their games and virtually all the Talonsoft games, but have to agree with the comments above. They spread themselves too thin working on too much at once. Also, although it's their right to cater to whatever market they want, a lot of their games are too involved for my tastes, though it was pleasure for me to see Gary Grigsby move from say Pacific War to World at War, which I really like (you can't compare it to SC2 of course as it's an entirely different game, but until the AI in SC2 improves, its the better SP experience). I played Pacific War once, as allies. It consumed my evenings for several months. By the end, I was amazed how well it recreated the WWII experience, from the CIC's point of view - months of endless tedium, repetition, frustration and casualties, endless rotation of non performing TF commanders, incredible weariness and desperation for it to end. As soon as I had the option to drop the bomb, I didn't hesitate (actually giving me a new insight into that decision). I'll never play it again, but I often wish someone would do something similar but playable, maybe like SC2 if the map was Pacific theatre only and smaller scale, eg individual divisions, capital ships & squadrons. You'd also need amphibious assaults and task forces. So that's my wish for the next HC project.

Making suggestions is one thing, but let's not pretend to call the shots for him, okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
