Setzer Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Ubi do publish quite a bit of stuff that would otherwise not reach these shores so that makes them worth supporting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diogo Ribeiro Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Ace Combat was very good but again I didnt really enjoy the modern warfare aspect. Blazing Angels was WWII but was abysmal.. Someones got to get the two elements right one of these days. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> IL-2 Sturmovik and its Forgotten Battles expansion - surprisingly published by Ubisoft - were great forays into air combat in the Eastern Front of World War 2. Though being a simulator it's definitely not for everyone. Still, I'd just buy the game out of principle for how great the game was and for the support Oleg Maddox gave to the community.

Llyranor Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) The IL2 series (...... Ubisoft) is apparently a pretty good PC WW2 combat flight sim. EDIT: Screw you, RP, stop stealing my posts.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Get it here http://gamershell.com/download_13278.shtml for free.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Think it took longer to unpack than to download. Or perhaps it was because I was watching it. Looks like it works anyway.

Daaave Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 After an hour of playing I'm not that taken with it, ah well, I'll play it some more tomorrow see if it can convince me to buy it.

Llyranor Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 It was a fun diversion, but not something I'd invest time or money in. The demo is already uninstalled. Like I said, though, fun.

Hurlshort Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I was very happy with the demo, although I wish it didn't just toss you into the middle of the campaign. Still, I look forward to building up some heroes. It's not a pre-order, but I'll buy it in the first few weeks for sure. I love the free camera.

Llyranor Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Following several days of rumors, Ubisoft has officially confirmed that it will no longer use the controversial digital-rights software from Starforce. "Ubisoft has decided to use an alternative copy protection system to Starforce for upcoming releases," said a rep for the company. The announcement means that Starforce software will not be included in Heroes of Might and Magic V, the publisher's much-anticipated forthcoming PC role-playing game. Ubisoft's decision caps weeks of controversy surrounding Starforce. In Mid-march, an employee of the Russian-German-Chinese-Cypriot company was accused of posting a link to a site where users could illegally download Stardock's space-sim Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords. Shortly, thereafter, Aspyr Media decided to sever its relationship with Starforce and remove its software from its forthcoming game, Spellforce 2: Shadow Wars. Ubisoft's motivation for ending its agreement with Starforce was more personal. At the end of March, the company was slapped with a $5 million lawsuit by gamers who claimed that Starforce's DRM system compromised the security of their PCs.

Setzer Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 Well, after a couple hours playing the demo I must say I'm quite impressed. Much, much better than the beta version! I was able to adjust the battle speed to my liking and that made a world of difference for me compared to the beta version. I too love the "free" camera. Looks like Nival has pulled it off and has brought this once thought to be dead series back to life. Can't wait for this to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
