Hola Boores,
¿es por turnos, o en tiempo real?, ¿cuando sale?, ¿son correctas las proporciones de los tanques?, me han parecido un poco chatos y altos.
Interesante post, como siempre

Un saludo.

[Rubeus]

Bueno, Boores te lo podrá confirmar mejor, pero creo que es por turnos y muy similar al Combat Mission.

Está disponible desde el 2 de septiembre, con las dos entregas anteriores gratis (como bien dice Boores): Winterstorm y Kharkov.

Digo que es similar al Combat Mission por lo que he probado (el Winterstorm) y por lo que se lee en los foros de MatrixGames, por ejemplo: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2556222 (¿por qué comprar "Panzer Command" si ya poseo "CM"?: MadRussian expone una serie de razones para ello, con las que algunas estoy de acuerdo y otras... en fin... son muy discutibles).

Por lo que yo probé (debo decir que muy superficialmente), el CM le supera en muchos aspectos aún.

Pero parece ser que ya están trabajando en el desarrollo de una 4ª entrega (el PC4) y que ésta va a incluir muchas mejoras (por ejemplo: que los edificios se puedan destruir, algunos aspectos de balística, etc.). Además, están haciendo AARs muy interesantes que los puedes leer en los foros de MatrixGames y te puedes hacer una idea.

Habrá que estar atentos...

¡Saludos!

[Egger]

Gracias, lo miraré mas detenidamente

[Rubeus]

Yo tengo esperanzas por lo que prometen Eric Rutins (excelente profesional donde los haya: un currante de éstos es lo que quiere cualquier empresa en su equipo ) y MadRussian sobre este juego de combate táctico estilo CM.

"Mis esperanzas en Battlefront" no son demasiado sólidas, ya que todos sabemos la dirección que tomó hace tiempo dicha empresa (juegos en tiempo real, por módulos, atención al cliente un tanto prepotente, etc.).

MatrixGames, bajo mi punto de vista personal, ojo, creo que va por mejor dirección. Soy usuario de varios de sus productos y, de momento, no he tenido ninguna pega.
Pero bueno, puede pasar cualquier cosa... Habrá que estar atentos... Tengo más esperanzas en el "Panzer Command 4" que en el "CM: N". Pero, ¿quién sabe...?

¡Saludos!

Pues tienes razón, CM
No, no está aún a la venta. Perdón por el patinazo


Está previsto que esté disponible en el último trimestre de este año.


¡Saludos!

Tendre que hacerle un seguimiento a este juego , pinta bien , esperemos salga pronto .

P.D: Despues de leer el post de Matrix escrito por Mad Russian ardo en deseos de pillarlo !!!

[Rubeus]

Sí, a mí me pasa igual: tengo muy buen feeling con este juego... Sobre todo porque me parece una continuación en la línea que marcó el gran CMx1 y si sigue avanzando por aquí podríamos llegar a un CMx1 mejorado/actualizado a los tiempos que corren

Eric Rutins y Mad Russian (un clásico del CM) nos están vendiendo bien el "Panzer Command". Según veo, es una serie que va a llegar a su tercera entrega (la cual se vende con las dos primeras gratis) y que supongo que si la cosa funciona más o menos (en ventas...), prometen que en el siguiente PC-4 tendremos un juego táctico muy bueno... Además, en los foros la gente está proponiendo cosas y los desarrolladores parecen que escuchan... Bueno, todo ésto ya se verá...

La economía está muy chunga, pero por mi parte mientras pueda apoyaré proyectos así, por supuesto

Saludos.



EDITO: va a tener Campañas (Mad Russian llama al hilo "PC Campaings"... ¿a qué me suena ésto...? http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2566747 ), aunque me temo que van a ser lineales (no dinámicas ).

[Rubeus]

Por cierto, Niessuh: hay gente creando texturas para este interesante juego...

¡Anímate y le das unas lecciones!

[Beren]

mismos graficos que el CM, un juego de hace 10 años...

[Rubeus]

mismos graficos que el CM, un juego de hace 10 años...

Sí.
Y han pasado 10 años y muchísima gente lo juega aún

Estaría bien que MatrixGames siguiera avanzando por este camino: es decir, seguir desarrollando un juego como PC y puliéndolo y añadiendo más detallitos...
Total, el apartado gráfico a la mayoría de los wargameros nos la trae floja, ¿no?...

[Rubeus]

Hay nuevos pequeños vídeos de testeo, por si a alguien le interesa y quiere verlos:

Yo tengo ganas de que salga , pero como no tenga buen precio no me lo pillare ... es dificil competir con las ofertas de Steam y los puñeteros siempre acaban poniendo todos los meses uno o dos que me interesan en oferta .
Esperemos que este lo pongan en Steam como algun otro de Matrix Games .
