So, while captaining the Titanic is just the tip of the iceberg (so to speak), you'll take various vessels to emergency hotspots, extinguishing oil rig fires, evacuating an island under threat from a natural disaster or perhaps locating and photographing a top secret facility, escaping unseen.Īll of the sailing data and the events in the game are taken from actual sailor's accounts, so while the story campaigns may seem a little overly dramatic, they apparently did happen. If the mood takes you, there are storylines like these to pursue in Extremes, all of which are based upon real events. You can helm the Titanic with the benefit of hindsight and change the course of history. Greenpeace go! Save the whales! Watch out for that iceberg! Not least because you can helm the officially-licensed Greenpeace Esperanza to chase illegal whale hunters (no, you can't harpoon whales yourself before you ask) and steer the Titanic through iceberg infested seas, potentially altering the course of history in the process. Extremes actually sounds like it could be a lot of fun, despite our best efforts to remain cynical towards a game of ship-sailing. Not by making a revealing reality TV show, but by expanding the series beyond Ship Sim 2006, 2008 and its expansions. And like the Hoff, developer VSTEP is looking to broaden the franchise's core audience by making the latest – ambitiously suffixed - Extremes the most accessible yet. The Ship Simulator series is a bit like David Hasselhoff – big in Germany.
