Bridge-based strategy game Carrier Command 2 has been ordered to release in August

One of many causes I’ve been enthusiastic about Carrier Command 2, Microprose’s first-person bridge command simulator, is as a result of it seemed near being completed after I first came across it. I wished to play it, and I didn’t wish to wait. And I don’t actually need to, as a result of it’s going to be popping out in August.

From August tenth, you’ll discover me on the bridge of the ACC Epsilon Provider. With each command being issued from an entire suite of working screens, albeit simplified for the likes of me, single participant goes to be a little bit of a scramble. I’ll be scurrying round from display screen to display screen, making an attempt to work out precisely why I’m headed backwards in direction of an island, and questioning what button must be pressed to maintain my boat within the sea. However I’d quite study the exhausting method earlier than entering into the sport with a buddy or two. I’m not one in every of life’s pure captains.

In a probably calmer multiplayer atmosphere, gamers might be utilizing their place on the bridge to determine one of the best place to information the service to, getting buddies to dial by way of the weapons programs to plan an assault, and deftly dropping a “Make it so” on them to start the assault. I reckon I’d be joyful to be sat at one of many screens, pondering payloads, glancing out the home windows to see if our plans have had any exposive success.

It’ll also have a VR mode, which has a separate trailer above. I’m actually curious about that as a result of it is a recreation constructed round prodding screens and buttons and sliding levers. It appears to be like tremendous satisfying. Fortunately, each variations ought to work collectively. If the VR element solely labored with VR gamers, I don’t know sufficient VR house owners to fill a recreation like this. This fashion, I don’t must.

Squee! Provider Command 2 is out on August tenth on Steam, with the VR version confirmed for a similar day, too.
