Brutus Posted December 12, 2016 Report Posted December 12, 2016 Kudos to Halifax for the like on facebook and alerting my attention to this: Quote
Brutus Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Posted December 12, 2016 Should be noted it doesn't appear to have "online" as a feature, so it's likely to be something for when you wanna get drunk and have the buds over. http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/games/old-time-hockey/trailer/release-date/old-time-hockey-looks-to-bring-back-simple-sports-titles/37247 Quote
Brutus Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Posted December 13, 2016 This is the actual website for the game: http://www.oldtimehockeyarcade.com/gamemodes.html Quote
segathon Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 This game is in our wheelhouse. Wonder what kind of power my computer would need to run this game? Quote
Premium Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 From the "Extras" webpage it looks like the game is playable online. There is a "leaderboards" section that can be filtered by friends or not. That's just my guess. Quote

I saw this game on reddit, too, and people there were saying there's no internet multiplayer, only localmultiplayer https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/5hyan0/the_pc_is_finally_getting_a_hockey_game_and_its/ "Local multiplayer but no online multiplayer for a PC game. Well, that sucks." Quote
CoachMac Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 I kinda like the no online thing! Fits with Old Time Hockey! Plus gives you an excuse to actually see somebody and talk them. Kinda like Toronto (King of 94) Quote
clockwise Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 "Local multiplayer but no online multiplayer for a PC game. Well, that sucks." No point to releasing the game on Steam without multiplayer. Quote
Brutus Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Posted December 13, 2016 This is the actual video of Song #2 from the trailer. It's a song that's been out for a bit, but will likely gain steam now that it's in the trailer. NSFW if swearing is not allowed to be blasted on your speakers, keep the volume down Quote
Brutus Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Posted December 13, 2016 FYI, I firmly expect the game play to REQUIRE a few beers to be playable, based on the trailer. The goalie "fails" were beyond atrocious, and seems like you probably have to fight every 2 minutes. Quote

halifax Posted December 14, 2016 Report Posted December 14, 2016 This game definitely looks like fun. Yeah I saw they tweeted that they didn't have the resources to make online play suitable. Which makes me not want to buy it. It seems like there might be a lot more to it that they couldn't show? Not sure what to make of the following taken from their website. THEMES Retro, Arcade, Blood (Face, Jersey, Ice), Crude Humour, References to Alcohol, Boobs, Peeing, Censored Private Parts, Buttocks Quote
kgman Posted December 14, 2016 Report Posted December 14, 2016 looks pretty cool I like the concept but the no online play and lack of manual goalie is a non starter for me I would get frustrated and sick of this game in less than a week Quote
