Panzer Command feedback? - Jobu88 - 01-06-2008 Has anyone seen / played Panzer Command? http://www.matrixgames.com/games/game.asp?gid=327 I have zero experience with Matrix, just curious if anyone has tried this one. RE: Panzer Command feedback? - Copper - 01-07-2008 I believe MGK played the demo and that made him back out of buying the full version. RE: Panzer Command feedback? - Koen - 01-07-2008 Played the demo...not worth buying it...too much CMlike but with other controls... RE: Panzer Command feedback? - Fullhouse - 01-07-2008 Koen Wrote:CMlike This is a bad thing? RE: Panzer Command feedback? - Jobu88 - 01-07-2008 Downloaded the demo and tried it out. Seems to combine the basic mechanics of CM with the feel of Theater of War. Not very good in comparison to CM based on 30 minutes of "testing". Although the graphics / terrain are very good. On the other hand, it claims that you can lead a core unit through multiple battles, gain experience, win medals, etc. Something I wish CM offered. RE: Panzer Command feedback? - junk2drive - 01-07-2008 The sequel, PC Kharkov, will offer much more. Check out it's forum at Matrix. RE: Panzer Command feedback? - sross - 01-07-2008 It sounds like it may be moving in the right direction. RE: Panzer Command feedback? - Jobu88 - 01-07-2008 Well, it wouldn't take much to get it up to the level of CM in my opinion. Most of the game functions so similar to CM that the learning curve would be pretty flat, and the graphics are great. And it would probably be a good thing to have the game company still stand behind and support their product.... RE: Panzer Command feedback? - Der Kuenstler - 01-08-2008 I played the demo today for a few minutes and was not impressed - it makes you view the battlefield from just one angle and the controls are not near as intuitive - it looks a little bit better than CM but not worth the tradeoff of loss of playability. RE: Panzer Command feedback? - Jobu88 - 01-08-2008 Actually you can view the field from any angle just like in CM. The interface is a bit clunky compared to CM but it's there. I have a two-button mouse with a central roller wheel. Hold down the roller wheel ( folks with a three-button mouse would hold down the middle button) and now you're in tilt / slew mode. you can change both the height of eye and the view left / right. Controls are not as intuitive, but I attribute some of that to thounsands of hours playing CM and zero playing PC. All in all, it looks like it has promise. Not saying it's there yet, but it looks entirely playable even if it's not up to CM's standard. |
