Flanker15 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 This is the same game as the older screens that were unconfirmed as a TOW game aren't they. Well I guess this confirms it sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoppelhopser Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 So whatever happened to the Panther, Stuart, Marder and BA10 models and those interior house shots for the eastern front shown at least half a year ago ? How do they fit the scheme ? Soundly confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aleader Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Isn't this a stand-alone title now? I keep hearing that it's an add-on, but it seems to me it's a new game that won't require the original. Anyone know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Russian version will be a stand-alone game. I don't know how English and other versions will be published, probably it's not decided yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Stoppelhopser You'll see Stuart and house interiors in Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rofl Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Originally posted by Sneaksie: You'll see Stuart and house interiors in Africa And what happens with the other vehicles, i dont think they want use ba-10, t-34 and panther in africa. Can we expect a last add-on/update or is ToW-1 definitely death for 1C ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Other vehicles are planned for another title, set in Eastern front. Addon for ToW-1, as you call it - i really don't know how Africa will be released in the West. It may be stand-alone, it may require ToW, it may be able to use ToW resources - anything, big bosses will decide between them and tell us humble mortals what to do:) In addition, we'll release something like bonus for ToW if time permits.

Flanker15 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 So there's 2 games? One is the origonal addon and the other is Africa 1943? ToW2 is just an invention of the article link in this topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToW2 is just an invention of the article link in this topic? I'm pretty sure we should interpret that as there being a sequel planned in Russia, and unknown developments for western market. I see nothing that suggests there will or will not be an add-on. And if there is a sequel in the works, even if only for Russian market, then "ToWII" is not an "invention."

Reichenberg Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 In the last 1:28 I saw infantry enter buildings and I saw smoke shells - so far so good... "Available in Q4 2008" that means in a year from now If it does everything ToW does plus smoke and enterable buildings - than count me in for it!

Stoppelhopser Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Graphical nitpicking: The german tank man wears a fantasy jacket. Nothing like that was ever made or worn in WW2 by german forces. Officer and man should have a vertical cut in the jackets back (butt area). Otherwise they look nice to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pad152 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 If it's a separate game, will the existing TOW be updated to add the new features such as infantry in buildings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeezgob Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Originally posted by pad152: If it's a separate game, will the existing TOW be updated to add the new features such as infantry in buildings? I doubt it. It sounds like the original title has been abandoned in favour of the African campaign. I was hugely disappointed with the original, so I'm going to pass. On a more general note I'd strongly recommend Panzer Command Kharkov. Not as pretty as TOW, but (in my opinion) far superior gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pad152 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Sorry, but for me Panzer Command isn't there yet! I don't like the 10 little indian infantry model. If the expansion doesn't expand the current Tow game, I think I'll just wait for Tow II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to his own, but infantry are far more effective, useful and responsive in PC than they ever were for me in TOW. "It's not there yet?" It's not as graphically pleasing as TOW, but that's the only way it's inferior to it. Not sure how you arrive at that conclusison, anyway have fun with TOW!

pad152 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Well, this is getting off topic, but I don't think the infantry model in PC is as good yet as the early Combat Mission games and when I saw infantry squads all fall down like 10 little indians, that just killed it for me.

pad152 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I do hope the infantry model and ammo management is better in future Tow games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
