UV is a much more enjoyable and playable game than WitP. While WitP has some nice features, it is much too ponderous and slow[>:]. I wish [&o]Matrix would spend more effort on the AI portion of the game.



macstout -> RE: Doesnt anyone else play UV still? (2/4/2005 2:48:33 PM)

Agree, I owned UV and WITP, and I'm still playing UV, which was at the beginning already heavy to handle (If you've got a real life/job/family outside) in terms of rules, aspects, time user... I'm dissapointed by WITP which is to difficult to play, to slow, overwhelming even for hardcore wargamers like me..... and I don't have 2 years at disposal for that.

I hope next opus from 2by3 on this theme will be not to far from UV interface and spirit.
A+

I'm retired, but don't have the time for WitP. That's too bad.

WitP is an awesome achievement. But it's success is likely it's biggest liability. Too great a scale, too much detail, and campaigns that could take...well....years to play. How will we feel about the game, it's graphics, AI etc. in 2 years? While difficult to predict all you have to do is think about games you've owned and played for more than 2-3 years consistently.

I love UV and WitP, and play against AI as much as I can, as well as PBEM. But opponents are sometimes difficult to find and keep.

I still play lots of UV - it is STILL an excellent game.

I hope Matrix releases the source code (under Matrix supervision) so that gamers can continue working on the game. New features, etc can only help increase UV sales...



marky -> RE: Doesnt anyone else play UV still? (2/13/2005 9:49:44 PM)

i agree with the releaseing of the code under supervision of course

and i too play UV, even tho my copy of UV is getting a bit less attention now that i have WITP[:D]

The one thing I like about UV is that it is smaller in size and is perfect for games that a person can complete in their lifetimes - heheh

As for releasing the source code:

A few dedicated gamers (with a Matrix Non-disclosure Agreement) could basically work on UV for free. We could then try to implement as many bug fixes and add as many new enhancements as possible, and add more features to the campaign editor.

Basically, Matrix would get an improved game (at no extra cost to them), which would help increase sales of the game over the long run...

Short answer . . . yup.



Warfare1 -> RE: Doesnt anyone else play UV still? (2/16/2005 4:31:33 AM)

Just fired up another campaign game today as the Allies vs the Japanese AI:

Scenario 19, very hard, with 70% force allotement for me, and 200% force allotement for the Japanese.

Currently, one month into the game, the Japanese are giving me some real whup-ass...

And I'm loving it [:D]

I'm also reading Costello's "The Pacific War" while playing...

Still can't beat this game for sheer fun and entertainment.



soeren01 -> RE: Doesnt anyone else play UV still? (2/18/2005 5:38:14 PM)

I still have a PBEM going



grraven2004 -> RE: Doesnt anyone else play UV still? (2/18/2005 7:38:16 PM)

My brother in law and I have a game going. I am about to start another one. So yes I still play. Its nice to have a change of pace from WITP.



spence -> RE: Doesnt anyone else play UV still? (2/18/2005 11:15:47 PM)

I recently got WiTP and although pretty much a grognard have been overwhelmed with everything there is to do in the game. I find the size and scope of UV just about right for me.
I noticed that when I fired up the WiTP War in the South Pacific scenario (#3 I think) that the starting Allied OOB (at least) is considerably different from the one used in UV's Scenario 17 which is supposed to be the equivalent. So which one is right, more right or rightest?[&:]
