Storm Eagle "Jutland" ETA

Sonarman · 03-01-08, 04:46 PM

An update from developer Jim Rose on the semi-official Gamesquad Diostant Guns series forum indicates that the new title "Jutland" is now only weeks away from its release .

CCIP · 03-01-08, 07:34 PM

I'll be guessing end of the month then.

Boy oh boy!

What era is Jutland focused on?

Raptor1 · 03-02-08, 05:59 AM

The name "Jutland" should quite obviously give away that it's WWI

I have been waiting quite a while for a game that focuses on WWI era Dreadnoughts

Is it going to be available in retail stores?

Or is it downloadable only like distant guns?
How much is the price tag?

The ships looks great but the sea looks pretty lame.
Is it released yet?

1) AFAIK, no
2) AFAIK, yes
3) wouldn't be unreasonable to expect about the same $60 as Distant Guns was
4) Silly devs

The screens you see right up front are actually from an early alpha according to the devs. They later posted more screens (some of them you can see toward the bottom of the page) and on their forums, and the sea certainly doesn't look as lame as it does in the first few screenshots on the page.
5) I wish!

I'm still hoping they will include scenarios based on the Coronel and Falklands battles.

I do know I'm always going to be nervous when commanding British Battlecruisers,they did seem to blow up quite nicely.

I hope they have completely retooled the interface as it was the only thing that was below par in Distant Guns, otherwise it was a very good game

TheSatyr · 04-03-08, 11:59 AM

The interface is the only reason that I don't play Distant Guns that often.

Raptor1 · 04-03-08, 12:00 PM

Auuu, It's been more then a month, I NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME, NOW

TheSatyr · 04-03-08, 03:43 PM

Hopefully,if they do change the interface they will patch it into distant guns as well.

I agree with Raptor...need...this...game...now....

Sonarman · 04-03-08, 04:08 PM

Yes they do seem quite good at retrofitting Distant Guns, I wish Ubi would do the same with SH3!!

I can't understand why they didn't get in touch with Neal or send him a review copy of DG, big mistake as a lot of people here were interested in DG. I even sent them an email before the game launched suggesting they contact Subsim or visit the forums but sadly I think it fell on deaf ears.

Raptor1 · 04-29-08, 09:18 AM

I was thinking, Maybe they're planning to release this game on the 31st of May?

PeriscopeDepth · 04-29-08, 12:36 PM

It's getting to look that way.

And yeah Sonarman, their PR is atrocious. They completely ignore naval simmers and just go after wargamers.

PD

XabbaRus · 04-29-08, 04:28 PM

I'm going to try the demo again of DG. Maybe I'll get the hang of it.
