Pete Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 FullAuto's much-anticipated Hearts of Iron III preview has been published, coinciding with the launch of our new-look website. In this extensive preview, FullAuto leaves no stone unturned and the article covers a multitude of features including AI, Diplomacy, Intelligence, Politics, Warfare and much more. The interface is simple and clear, and navigation through the various screens is a single click, but this is still a game that deluges you with information, and you need to play just to get accustomed to it, before thinking about doing anything so ambitious as winning a war. Read the full article to get a better feel for the game, which is released on the 7th of August. You can also get a brief overview of the game viat the Game Card, and pre-order the game from GamersGate. FullAuto will be following this article up with a review at a later date, so check back soon and in teh meantime, please feel free to join in the discussion in our new Hearts of Iron forum.

Zombie Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hmmm, HOI3's links page shows 7 previews but no link to StrategyCore yet. Too busy to update your website, Paradox? - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yeah, we've nudged them about it several times. Are all the other previews 100% positive I wonder as the thread listing the previews on their forums was longer than that but ours still wasn't on it when I checked a few days ago. We've emailed them twice as far as I'm aware Still, 1,000 unique visits to that article can't be bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hmmm, HOI3's links page shows 7 previews but no link to StrategyCore yet. Too busy to update your website, Paradox? - Zombie Think that's a fansite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I didn't even check the link in Zombie's post - yeah, that's a fan site. This is the recently-launched official site, though oddly we're still no listed on their previews list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Whoopsie, copied the wrong URL, hehe. Sorry about that folks. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Looks like HOI3 is finally released to the general public for purchase now. Anybody get it yet? I'm also wondering what the system specs are. My laptop will probably be able to handle it, but I'd like to know for sure. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yup - been available since the 7th. Unfortunately there's a pretty big bug in the current version (1.1) which they're looking to patch in the next week or so as well as balancing some other elements based on user feedback. The system specs should be available on the official site I linked to if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Bit bugged ATM, some countries are playable, some are not. Looking at another patch in 1-2 weeks, apparently. Give it six months before the game's 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike9o Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I played it and was very disappointed. I like the research tree better, but it is not at all realistic. Italy invaded France and ate up half the country before the French reacted (all the French troops were easliy holding back the Nazis in the north). After the Gremans finally cracked the French line and took Paris, the Italians left all of their occupied terrritory and Vichy France was born. I like the game but will wait 3-4 months (and a patch or two) before I play it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
