Hi Riddip,

Looks cool to me. Not too much to judge from yet but the little bit of ingame footage and the screenshots look really good.

I like the series a lot, so I'll probably check this one out!   :)


Regards,
Fred

Crab fishing in the Bering Sea - what an originally idea!
The features sound good and the screenies look nice, but I'm sceptical.
Anyhow, I will keep an eye on the project.

Interesting: The page from Riddip's second link classifies the game genre as "Action".   :-\

Maybe Lighthouse could grab the Euro publishing rights (as it's probably US only) to this and sell at a slight discount to the thousands of us, Ship sim community members? (and perhaps pay a commission to V-Step in the process)

Why on earth would they sell something at a discount when they can just sell it for the full price?

This game has nothing to do with Shipsim.

And if I understand correctly, the Discovery Channel is behind this too. They would allready have all the European publishing covered.

Fred

Well,thats correct Fred,if they sponsor this,they never will have it sold by a discount,specialy not in the beginning.
The same when National Geographic is behind it.Infact if i was a chairman,i would not alow it the first months.

Personally, I don't think I will be buying this one. I don't think I want to rush around like a maniac trying to catch crabs before my ship sinks....

(Yes, I'm aware of the double entendre).  ;) Today I am Benny Hill.  ;D

a. good marketing most shipsim users may also be interested in the game .
b. no I know that, but there is a large target market here and Lighthouse could advertise it on the V-Step forum bringing VStep advertising revenue
c. In the past the Discovery Channel have mainly only sold their interactive titles in the US and this may again be the case.

I have been reading some of the reviews and the game is looking great was only thinking they should bring a game out like this so i thought id do a search and here it is, but with the downside of the PC version of Alaskan Storm does not allow you to play online with other players (as you can on X-box). Both Xbox & Pc were released on and before the 19 August, 2008 but alot of reviews show they dont recommend for pc as most people find it takes 10-15mins to reconise and load the disc, To find out more there is a fan site to the game which is www.alaskanstorm.net

If anyone has played this game yet post your reviews!
