WhiteKnight77 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Enigma: Rising Tide is now out in the UK and hopefully soon in the US. I have tried the demo and the graphics are awesome. There is supposed to be changing weather effects and an ocean that goes from flat calm to raging storm with killer waves. I did sink a U-boat with a corvette by dropping depth charges although I did take one torpedo in the port bow, but didn't sink. Renamed thread.

Urban_Tiger Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Cool !! Does it have any voice activation for commands or is it all hard input required please WK?? Not a major fan of Sub games but I remember playing one on my dads comp years ago that used voice commands to play the game ! It was pretty cool but maybe a bit ahead of it's time as it was never 100% on picking up the commands lol!! If you played using the keys tho it was a reasonable game!! Wish I could remember the name of it but to play you were always a U-Boat captain in the Battle of the Atlantic in WW2!! Might be interested if it does have the voice commands !!

RooK Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 I wish someone would get off their butt and make a new modern tank sim. The only good one around that is actually a sim is Steel Beast, and its graphics are the old, awful software based kind. I could just imagine now.... Modern tanks with barrel stabilization, auto lead and all the fancy computer stuff as well as WWII tanks where you have to lead and adjust for distance all by yourself without a range finder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightCrawler Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 I couldn't get the voice commands to work in the demo. I liked the look and feel of the demo but damn I'm glad I don't do this for a living like XS. I played as a sub commander and never have hit a ship yet, I must really suck. Probably need lessons from XS. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted May 17, 2003 Author Share Posted May 17, 2003 I originally tried the sub and stopped to see if I could find the control setting screen (ain't one that I could see) so I tried the Corvette. I was getting close to 100FPS (Fraps) and was even trying to get screenies of the depth charges going off. I even wanted some pics of the smoke billowing from the port bow of my boat. Damn if I couldn't remember what button I had set to take them with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 WK77's Enigma: Rising Tide Screenshots and Wallpapers are from the retail demo. After figuring out the controls and how to aim torpedos, I did manage to sink several ships before getting torpedoed myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteKnight77 Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share Posted May 21, 2003 Havok, get these patches and we can get set up a server sometime soon with TS and I will give you some hints and tips. There is a patch that was just released to allow for more players in MP. Get the Projekt Messerwetzer Silent Hunter II/Destroyer Command DirectPlay Conversion and Multiplayer Upgrade patch and install it after you install the Ubi patch (also found on the same page) from SubSim.com. This patch was made with the original source code from the developers and UbiSoft gave it's blessings to the players who used it to make this patch (we all know how Ubi is about source code.)
