[hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHKfsJXfqiY[/hd] Looks like it might be fun with friends. [quote]Currently, the plan is to include only one single submarine: The Type VII. Despite the lack of diversity though, Airapetjan explains that the actual submarine is planned to be replicated with as close to 1:1 accuracy as possible. This is geared towards being a true simulation in VR, not just a gamified submarine combat experience — with some modern or “futuristic” as it were alterations for ease of gameplay (due to low resolution of current VR headsets).[/quote]
I've envisioned and been waiting for a game exactly like this for years. To the point of (unsuccessfully) trying to make something similar with a friend. Ours was a bit more arcade-y though where it was teams of four in each sub and they had to work together to kill the other subs while repairing damage to their own and naming the submarines systems. Sort of like a sub version of Black Wake. I nerded out over that damn boat for years. I still got the resource in my bookmarks. Good sub nerd shit: [url]https://maritime.org/doc/fleetsub/index.htm[/url] (though this is for an American sub, still helps to get a feel for whats going into these things) I'm glad someones been able to do it. Gonna buy the shit out of this.
So the team work and tactic of LOVERS, but with an early 20th century submarine? Games like this is what makes VR seem like a worth while investment.
