GoOB 0 Posted August 27, 2003 It has been released, but I haven't tried it due to not wanting to wast money. I am currently waiting for a demo. It looks nice though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drewb99 0 Posted August 27, 2003 This game's been kind of a sleeper title and I've had my eye on it for awhile. It's a good idea, but I don't know how well it was pulled off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesman 0 Posted August 27, 2003 I'm a bit weary about this title. Seems they changed the development specs quite a bit on the road. I'm thinking this could be yet another Black & White. Lots of hype, less good execution. Definatelly awaiting the long-term play reports on this one BM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EiZei 0 Posted August 27, 2003 Lets see if this becomes a classic or a Mike Singleton-style "masterpiece". :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John C Flett 0 Posted August 27, 2003 UK release is down for early September but having read the reviews its not one for me. Massive system specs for an average strategy game. The original concept sounded good but the final version seems really badly watered down with all the fancy 3D graphics having almost no bearing on the game. Shame.

Bluesman 0 Posted August 27, 2003 Hey i just got an idea. Why not make a mod for OFP with the same premisses. On paper I think you could do an even better variant than this game. I mean you have vehicles, almost full control over scripting, what else is needed? Crowds could be tough with the limits OFP has on numbers but for all else i don't see any differences. We hardly need to redesign the islands to make them look like a random east bloc country . Sort of Junta(classic board game) mod for OFP. Now that would rock BM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dauragon 0 Posted August 27, 2003 Can you drive vehicles in this game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted August 27, 2003 It is not a FPS, it is a strategy type of game. You are supposed to take control of a former Soviet state using: Violence, Kindess or just giving wealth to your citizens. Or a little bit of both. And don't forget to kill your rivals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EiZei 0 Posted August 28, 2003 http://www.gamesdomain.co.uk/gdrevie....ic.html 3.5 stars, seems good enough for me since I appreciate freedom in my games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Longinius 1 Posted August 28, 2003 I have played it, and can sum it up the following way: You will like this game if you are into the political cloak and dagger way of operating. You better be a patient player with a background in strategic games, used to planning, waiting and not seeing the result of your actions for a while before they take effect. The game looks amazing. You can zoom in on any location or person in the cities, every character you see is an individual and every character is a potential friend or foe. Things happen in real time, so you better keep an eye on the streets and just not on the tactical map. You will actually be able to come across events as they play out, zoom in, watch, and then decide what action you want to take. The atmosphere is great, it has a unique gameplay and is quite immersive. I like it, but I dont think its for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesman 0 Posted August 28, 2003 I know Republic isn't a FPS but OFP has shown that it can emulate a RTS somewhat faithfully so why not a Coup De Tat/Political sim? Am I the only one who remembers the awesome boardgame Junta? It was after all fairly popular. BM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 29 Posted August 29, 2003 I love the concept and it looks a good game, unfortunately I don't have the mindset to play strategy games, I prefer to be the one breaking heads rather than having a "conversation battle" to get somebody else to do it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
