Warfare 1944

   Posted by: Con    in Last Stand, News, Warfare

For those of you who don’t read the forums, Warfare 1944 the WW2 sequel to the original is in development and is scheduled to be released in June. Here’s what to expect:

- New unit types
- 3 Flank Deployment System
- New resource based unit production more in line with traditional RTS’s
- New mission types, including Defence and Objective based missions
- All new Campaigns and Skirmish Maps
- All new Upgrade trees

More information is available over on the forums, including a partial feature list. I’m buried in development of some new functionality for this game at the moment, so there’s a bit of a delay in providing pretty screenshots unfortunately. They will be here soon though.

With this game being completed in June, I can confirm that The Last Stand 3 (working title) will be the next title I am working on.

Broken Steel is broken.

Broken Steel is was broken.

Very disappointing. I’ve been playing Fallout 3 over the weekend getting a new character through the last paces towards the end so that I can jump onto the new chapter of the story, Broken Steel which is meant to be released today. I say meant to be released, but it IS released, I’ve paid for it and it seems things have gone a touch awry.

The download for the DLC on the PC gets most of the way through then stops saying it “can’t install item” and goes on about cryptographic messages. Apparently someone is working on it, hopefully it’s fixed soon. Looking forward to spending more time in the wastes.


UPDATE: Seems it’s a problem on Microsoft’s end. They’ve reassuringly gone ahead and removed it from the Games for Windows Live Marketplace. Sigh.

UPDATE OF UPDATE: All back and working. Have played a chunk of it and it was well worth the wait so far, this game never ceases to amaze me.
