Under this thread i saw the notice about SS 08, is that out now? I was just wondering because the mesage has me a little confused. KM
-
It is not published yet, you can read more about it here: http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,22.0.html

Yea I was wondering when I first saw the topic.
-

-

-

-
Good it's coming out in summer. More time to play then Febuary. ;D
-
does anybody actually know when the demo is going to be coming out
thanks
-
SS08 will be like a competely different game hehe.
So many improvements 8)
-
We don't know when the demo is coming out!!!
-
Please don't release it too soon, I have still 12 missions to finish ;D
-
I've got about 25 missions to finish!
-
But after every crash I hope it will be here soon.
-
I have given up on missions. Every time I do them I never get anymore money. >:( I think a demo which is the whole game that lasts a hour sounds good though. ;D
-
I have about 20!
I do other things aswell like FSX! :'(
-
When is ship sim 2008 coming out?????
Pliz reply ???
-
July
-
ooooooooooooo I can have it for my Birthday :D
-

I have had those before, once its gone after an hour i go nuts because it takes me a while to be able to get the game, and i can't play it anymore because the demo is gone. A demo like the one for SS06 will be good. KM

To Master Captain,
If i understand you,you want to have a demo.The same as in the 2006 version,with a small area of a harbour,and one vessel of the 2008 version.So that you can play this,untill you are able to buy the whole version.
The idea itself,is very good.I think it's up to vstep if they want to do this again for the new version.
However,because of the improvements,this would be a very good cause.This way we can maybe try out,some waves,or other features from the new game.
Regards
Marc
-
Would be nice to have a demo such as we got from the first game. The demo made me known with the game and convinced me to buy it. Totally love the waves and cranes in 2008 so love to try the demo of that one!!
-
A demo would definetly have its uses. It was the SS 2006 Demo that made me want to buy the full game.

I never thought of that, i do agree having the full game for and hour or an hour and a half would be good for a demo. KM
-
We definitely need a demo. Just to try if my PC can run the game. Have you seen the minimum system requirements?
I'ld like a demo very much before I buy I game I can only play after updating my PC.
-
I second that. I don't have an old and slow PC, but the requirements for SS08 are very high! :o
I would like to test-run it as well. And like Master Captain said, a full version for an hour (and a half??) would be very nice. I want that game, but if i have to update my pc first, the game gets a high price...
-
hi, ive found out that they are making SS 2007?, so im a bit confused? ???
Edited for using rude language
Wout
-
I really think it shoud be a demo ..but not for just 1 h.. maybe some days, ore a demo where you just can choose 1 boat and 1 place to be on..
-
Why not just a demo like the first one. Just a "small" part with 1 boat 1 harbor. Maybe with a part of open sea to see the waves and that's it. It would certainly keep me happy till release ;D
-
Yeah I agree, unlimited time, only limited access, like the out of bound areas in the 2006 demo. That way it will keep me occupied with Ship Sim till the release and it will leave plenty for me to discover when I actually get the game.
-
No it's now 2008 you idiot can't you read the topic
Mind the language, please.........
-
Excactly captain davies. But the area must contain a portion of a harbor, AND the open ocean. So that everyone can see how the waves are reacting with there computer. And offcourse it's pretty entertaining untill the release!
-

I do aswell. I don't like trials which either you have to but after so many days or it tells you to stop halfway through >:(
I'd like unlimited time but limited options too 8)
-
I would agree to have unlimited options, but you can only get just so many features in the demo. I would rather be able to test everything on my computer and find out if it works or not, rather than pay the price of the full game and have it not work. KM
-
Question is; will you have enough time in that hour to test everything you need to?
-
That's why it is safer to put no timelimit on. Nobody get's annoyed when it's over and you can test everything in the detail.
-
I think something of a compromise needs to be struck here, if Vstep makes a Demo limited in content but not in time, and with that content being the most demanding (CPU wise) that is in the game, then I think all will be satisfied.
-

I think a time restraint is in order as well. The MSFS X demo for example gave you one small area and a half an hour game play with a limited selection of planes. A lot of people loved it and kept playing it over and over. To me the unlimited time option makes it . . . . Too much like a real product itself. I would say 45 min to an hour per play session at most.
-
I just found the FS X time constraint an annoying inconvenience, every time the demo timed out I would have to restart it!
-
I think the Demo for SS6 was great and showed what the game had and was like. It also let you know if you could run the game. I would like to see one just like that one for SS8
-
Well,
I for one went out and bought ss06 after playing the demo.
It didn't really appeal to me before and I only downloaded the demo as I had nothing to do. Surely I'm not the only one in the world who bought it after playing the demo (I doubt I would have otherwise).
Stuart
-
Exactly as it happend to me. I was bored en just wanted something to do. And after downloading and playing the demo I bought the game inmediatly.
-
I hope that something comes out soon for a demo to make sure to people that it works with their system.
just a 20 mb demo with only 1-2 missions would be great. especially before the game is avaliable for purchase
-
Yes. You could have maybe a large boat and a small boat and you can sail around part of the harbor or sail at sea. You get two of each. No time limit. Just restricted areas. Hopfully you can fully control the weather and waves...
-
Or if VSTEP could create 1 mission specially for the demo and unlimited time restricted free roam limited boats ofcourse that would be good!
-
That would be a giveaway!
-
I'm not going to buy it unless they release a DEMO, i need to know what its like before i splash out on it.
Its not like yiou can get a refund on a computer game just because "you didnt like it"
-
I have demo, or not have demo? :)
VSTEP, you can release a simple demo?, this: a portion of ocean, a one simple ship... for test the pyshics and other details... in order to please to us... for this long awaiting of SS2008!!
An simple test application..
Thanks,
mercante
-
well said,
its not a lot to ask.
-

Now now gentlemen - this course of action does not encourage VStep. Like before, I am sure they will release a demo - however, threatening them is not likely to encourage them.
-
That was in no way a threat!!
i was merely voicing the opinions of most of the people in this topic, no point beating about the bush on a subject. Straight to the point.
-
Voice them a little frendlier next time friend. ;)
-

Yes, thank you. Other members, please take note.

OMG, i cant believe anybody took offence to that, geez.
A bit of constructive criticism comes along and you throw your toys out of the pram.
Cant have 100% positive feedback all the time.
Oh and if the previous sentence offends you, then tough.
-
I think the guy was just expressing his concerns, which he has every right to do as a customer. He was simply telling it straight, not coating it in sugar. Meanwhile, I don't think this is what this particular thread is supposed to be about...
-

That's not really constructive critisisme ;)
That's more like a treath :P
-
You'll have to adopt to the situation. I change my tone depending on the situation, I think all do that.
-
Folks, foks, as Captain Davies was saying keep to the subject please! :)
-
Alright Alrigthy back to the subject..........
........
........
Any news on a demo for ss2008 ?? ;D
-
News is always refreshing ;D :D ;)
-

They don't mean to offend just ease up a little, Vstep will because its just natural, shipsim 2006 got one so shipsim 2008 should be no diffrent
-
Yea I im glad it will come out during summer break. :)
Same here
-
Does any one know if the Demo for SS6 came out the same day of the game, bofore, or after. Just though if someone knew that they might be able to quess when the SS8 demo comes out. I wouldent think they would change. Thanks
-
I'm pretty sure it came out a while before hand, didn't it?
-
OMG
IS THERE ANYTHING ON THE DEMO???
WILL SOMEONE FROM VSTEP PLEASE ENLIGHTEN US?
-
good point, comon VSTEP it only takes a moment to post a message to let us know the situation.
-
Patience dear boy.
Whilst i agree it would be nice if VStep did keep us up to date a bit more, I'm sure they will do so when they are ready.
I doubt they will release any demo or news just because people are asking.
I have the feeling it will be worth the wait (although I bet the wait will be longer than published...)
Stu
-
To look at this objectively.....
Waiting is a good thing, it increases the anticipation....plus, you wouldn't want an unfinished or unplayable demo, wouldn't you agree?
I would rather they release the demo when it is FULLY ready ;)
-
Oh yes, that's what I mean. Release a 'not quite right' demo and people will be moaning about it, despite being told its work in progress.
I must admit I would like a bit more detail, but if VStep has nothing else to say yet then whats the point?
As long as they don't mind us discussing it here, I'm happy.
(as anyone who reads my ramblings will work out I'm spending more time on here than playing the sim!- I must get out more).
Stu
-
I must get out more).
LOL, same here ;)
-
I'd like some kind of news on whatever. such as even if they are going to release a demo.
I'm not looking for a 100 mb demo right from the new game.
Just something for the hundreds of us wishing to test if the game will work before we spend over $30 for this game.
If anyone knows any games online that are kewl, i'm looking for anything to play. I just keep going from the TV to the computer back anf forth with nothing to do, over and over :o :D
-
Yes, but since you don't have the option of buying the game just yet, you can't be put in the position of buying it without testing.
I'm sure there will be a demo when they're ready. There's probably a really good reason why they haven't released it- like it's not ready.
I'm not a computer coder, but I guess its like a jigsaw- if 'that' bit isn't right 'this' bit won't work.
Maybe there's just too many things needing fine tuning. Have patience and faith.
Stu
-
I have dabbled with computer game programming, granted it was years ago and a lot less advanced than now, but the principle remains the same.
I once spent 6 months writing a game, only to spend another 3 months debugging it lol
-
Considering your avatar, that is quite appropriate!
Stu
-
Ha! Ha! I guess so ;D
-
Now that the game has been released and the boxed versions on their way to the shelves, I think it is high time that a demo was released. Or at least I would like to know if Vstep intends to release one in the future.
I have my doubts about my system specs and so I would really like to be able to test and make sure that the game will even play before I buy it.
-
I totally aggre! :)
-
I agree, I'm also concerned that my computer may be lacking the required settings.
Personally, I would like the demo to be in a small area of San Fransico (Possible near the San Fransico Bridge) and in the Arie Visser or the pilot vessel.
Bon Voyage,
Lighthouse
-
Hey, the download version has release! Why no demo version?
-
Because the demo isn't ready yet!
-
i hate the fact that no demo is out yet cuz im waiting until the boxed version comes out but that on friday which is 3 days away and i cant afford to buy it from the shops so i have to buy it off the internet but then the time it takes to get posted will make me have to wait even longer. So i really want a demo to be released so i have something to help me wait!!
-
Patience. Complaining isn't going to make an instant demo release! Aust, US and other nations have to wait until atleast september.

That is exactly my reason for buying once Iv'e tried the demo also, but i always have the ss06 and vs demos to keep me occupied for a little while!

That is so so unlucky but atleast they wont have to bother downloading the latest patches
-
Any demo at all??
-
no. I'd be digesting you right now if there were.
-
I'll download it though, I'd rather not have to pay 40$ more in Aus + waiting.
-
Well, isn't it meant to be august for the demo?
-
Well Im not buying untill I play the demo. :-\
-
Well Im not buying untill I play the demo. :-\
Hi Ashmo,
Is it that you want to check against your computer hardware or just to see if you like it?
If the former, whats the spec- there is detail on the main website and if the latter, have you tried watching the videos? Bottman did some nice ones. I've just installed it myself and I think its really good.
Have you got 06?
Stu
-
I think a demo is a MUST. I too had never heard or played the game of SS06 and i downloaded the demo and loved it making me buy the full game.
There is a section on the website for a demo and i hope it will be released soon. Im very eager to see how it plays on my computer and so on.
-

Nope my PC is well upto it I just wonted to see what its like first. Yep I got 06 and Addon.
-
Count me in as another person who came here on seeing the release email, hoping to download a demo and see if I wanted to spend my money. No demo, no sale for now... I'll come back by the site at some point to see if that's changed.
-
and there it is! the demo version of ship sim! http://www.shipsim.com/demo/index.php ;D ;D ;D

we all know wazzzzzzzzy. KM

How does it that the game doesn't recognise a joystick or a wheel?I have a Logitech Wingman FF Joystick and a Logitech driving force pro wheel and the latest drives,they work absolutely ok with any other game,must i configure every key??? This is a completly no sense,i'm from the time that when a game was released it worked,not selling betas or alphas.Do you complaint about "piracy"?Yes you are asking for it,and you deserve it,must we wait two months for a patch to fix basic problems that SHOULD be solved before you sell the product?I'm very disapointed,thought you were professionals...

That seems a very negative attitude to take, especially this comment:
Do you complaint about "piracy"?Yes you are asking for it,and you deserve it

If I recall Battlefield 2 required you to assign your joystick keys.

Indeed, most games do now, especially if you want the controls 'just right' ;)

Just found the notification email in my spam folder, I'm off to download the demo now. Thanks for listening, guys! :)
