Maelstrom!
« on: July 02, 2006, 09:09:40 AM »
New game from the makers of Perimeter!

The graphics look a bit weak but it seems to allow a lot of blowing stuff up and causing all kinds of "natural" desasters (hooray for physics). Compared to Perimeter they've dumbed the story down for American audiences (Perimeter's story was already dumbed down outside of Russia, I guess the lowest common denominator is really low).

If it's like Perimeter it won't be the most polished game around but it'll certainly be innovative.

he lack of interest in this thread tells me that this game won't sell, either.

lol, I watched something about this game on ElectricPlayground (video-game TV show in Canada, don't know about US or Europe) and it seemed interesting but my days of playing RTS games is long gone, heck I barely play on my PC now.

I'd probably have replied if I hadn't been on vacation.  This looks interesting, but my next RTS purchase will probably be Supreme Commander.  Even that depends on whether I ever get unhooked on Galciv II.

Put it on DS and I'll buy it.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

The DS can't handle that. It puts a lot of emphasis on physics.
