http://www.replaystudios.de/survivor what do you think????

not sure about the game really, but the message board had some good venom.

Seems to me a goal hard to achieve. The most likely effect is a more scripted game rather than a dynamic one where events are based on your decisions. But then how do you go about simulating hypothermia, extreme anxiety and fatigue?

But I wish them all the best and hopefully is does become a success ( i.e. a game with survival lessons and not something unrealistic like a lot of games these days).

There was one in the late '80s that I liked. It was an old DOS/CGA game, of course... but the premise was a downed plane, you were lost in the wilderness with a map but no compass. Guages showed various aspects of your physical state.

What I liked about it was that there was no "god's eye" POV. All you could see was the map, and what was visible from your position on the ground (in wooded hills), panning around... which you had to relate to the map somehow. The weather and visibility also changed...

There are limits to a computer simulation, but we have the technology to do MUCH better now, and I haven't seen anything like that one since.
