When will there be videos for the PC version?

Also:

Will the Mosconi Cup be included?
Can you now take the shot in 1st person, like in 'Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker'? I prefer being able to line the shot up myself, the 'arrows' feel too unrealistic.
How many snooker and pool players are in the game (proper ones, not made up amateurs)?
Can you use the mouse to simulate cue movement?
And can you move around the table in 1st person?

What are the minimum and recommended specs?

Edit: About the sound, I found with some of the older games from this series, the sound when the ball hits the cushion is far too loud and destroys the atmosphere of the game. Oh and talking of atmosphere, can we have some more variety in crowd response? They never get really excited, not like they do in real life. Let's see some real work done on that side of it this year, eh? Going back to the cushions, compared to real life, they're dead. Let's see them act like proper full size table cushions this year?

I really suggest getting virtual pool 3 from almost all your questions, because WSC Real wont satisfy the needs you have put across

What do you mean specifically? The 1st person shot view and so on? I don't mind too much about how much pool stuff is included, that's not what I'd buy it for, but I do want a proper 'virtual snooker' experience.

Hello, mate!

En passant saw your forum, search news on game "WSC Real 2008". I read your comments and immediately understood you are fans of snooker. I only am teacher of snooker and have club and a forum, where we play national online tournaments at "WSC 2003 and 2004" games for PC.
For It is not all friends, who play that have cabinets - we play games on PC. My idea is we to reach you and do one and more international online tournament. We already the have Bulgarian national team and Ranking list, who is updated each and every one month, because we cause each and every one months tournaments.
I understand you play the adaptation that exists for "Nintendo". Let those of you, that start online at toilets "WCS 2003, 2004" hold tournament for PC and strongest lacrosse players write a team, that will represent you against us! Can see more information of the tournaments, that we hold to that address :

Hi,

I totally agree with Ronnie87. Trying out Virtual Pool 3 is really worth of it. Virtual Pool 3 what you wanted from a game:

- 1st person gameplay. Actually it has ONLY the 1st person view. Vp3 does not have any silly "striking player" -animations it it (thank god)
- Mouse is directly connected to the cue
- With a little camera-setup change, you can set the camera for even more realistic setting than it is as a default. Hint: the zoom and the C-key
- The Physhics and the gameplay. Vp3 is the only game out there which which is designed to a real play fan. The physhics model is very realistic.

The gameplay is just as fluent than a real play: there are no any striking-animation. I hated to watch this animation in WCS again again again again and again after pressing the "strike" -button. It was just disturbing. And it looked crap too.

Dont let the Virtual "POOL" 3 fool you; it has snooker game also on a snooker table.

I have played snooker almost 3 years once/twice a week for real and I know what I'm talking about. I have tried multiple snooker/pool games (WSC 2003 & 2005, iSnooker, Poolstars etc.) and vp3 is better than all of those put together. Only thing bad in vp3 is the graphics. But is just a minor flaw, because the gameplay and the physhics are just astonishing!

I will try WSC REAL too when it is released, but I have a feeling I wont like it. Lol the arrows, the gameplay and the physhics on WSC (earlier versions at least) were...just HILARIOUS! I couldn't stand the games.

How many of you have made a break of 147 in WSC? And how many of them? One more question for You: Whats your break record on real table? Virtual pool 3 is 8 years old game now and the maximum break has been done in the game by just a few of players less than 10 times in all in 8 years! It has been caught on video only one time by a Romanian really good player, truely one of the best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5zZaHHQiUM&fmt=6 . My best break on real table is 40 and 66 on vp3. Maybe that is telling something about the game. I have played vp3 snooker maybe 2 years, and during last 9 months really active on online-mode via Gamespy Arcade.

You can get the game here: http://www.celeris.com/games/vp3/buy.html . Use the discount-code: vp3pc1104 to get it for $10.

Based on WSC Real 08 for Wii (because I assume WSC for PC will be more or less the same for this features below).

1. You can completely turn off the animation during game play.

2. You can completely turn off the arrows

3. And the physics is quite OK and realistic

Just for your information.

I played Virtual Pool 3 for PC (and also for Pocket PC), but I don't like the way we must do forward-motion by using the mouse (or stylus) to shot. For some reason, it does not always work as expected. Probably my hand or my mouse.

Same like with the Wii version, some people will say it is too difficult to do forward-motion-shot using Wii controller, but some people (like me) found no problem with it.

Some people prefer to be able to set the power manually (power-bar), and then shot by pressing a button. But some people will say thats too easy.

"I played Virtual Pool 3 for PC (and also for Pocket PC), but I don't like the way we must do forward-motion by using the mouse (or stylus) to shot. For some reason, it does not always work as expected. Probably my hand or my mouse." ??

Did you remember to draw the cue back before the actual stroke (a push-shot)? heh :D (sry)

I think the mouse-strike is one of the best things in VP -series. It gives truely amazing "touch" to your stroke. I find the "set striking power from 0-100" -method in WSC very, very very annoying.

What about the arrow -thing: Lets think of the online game. You are playing with some other player online. If you want to play more realistic, without the arrows, do you just ask the other player to remove these arrows too? How can you be sure he/she removes those arrows too? Do you just count on the answer of the other player? (btw is there a chat on online-game?)

If you choose to disable the arrows, are you able to aim from a realistic view (head on top of the cue)? In every WSC-video I've seen the camera-angle is just terrible, it looks like the player is striking while standing straight on his feet.

The physhics might be OK-ish, but somehow in my opinion the balls behave a little strange in WSC. It just does not look natural. Still waaaay from the realisticness of vp3 physhics.

How does the cueball behave if you hit hard to the cushion with a low angle? And how about when applying english to the shot, is there any squirt in the path of cueball in WSC?

It also seems the table on WSC is dead slow, can this be tuned?

@DavisFan76:

safety147car on youtube:

I'm disappointed of WSC07 because it isn't such a challenging game like WSC05.I'm talking about the aiming expert,which was very difficult.I played a whole season with aiming short and I was very proud about my achievement.What should high skilled players do with WSC07?Snooker pro's are complete under-demanded.
The grey circle,which shows the final place of the cue ball,is very innovative,but why I can't disable that circle?snooker pro's don't need this ;)
wsc08 is better for snooker pro's?

bladeinteractive's answer:

We've listened to this kind of feedback from the pros like yourself, and you have full choice to disable the aiming arrows, the positional circle or both so you can play at your level.


If you mean the positional aiming marker - yes the system is still there. The size of the circular marker is related to certainty of position... so if you put lots of spin on for example the circle will get larger, and the cue ball will end in somewhere in the circle, unless a second ball is hit by the cue ball after the object ball. We have put in the ability to disable the different aiming aid types if you desire so the system caters to experts and amateurs alike.


You can switch off the aiming arrows and/or positional circle for all gameplay modes, including online (except for the Wii version which works slightly differently).


result: WSC Real 08 & WSC Real 09 = the Official World Snooker game ;)

:D

I do remember to draw back before the actual stroke ... but after some times, my arm-wrist got pain.

The thing is that there should be an option ... mouse-strike, power-bar, keyboard-banging, etc.

For viewing angle, I like the old Jimmy White game better, and I am sure there are quite a lot more people agree with me.

But yeah ... it is difficult to satisfy all kind of people for any game :)

Pick the one that satisfy you ...

About the shot-aim ... isn't it more satisfying if you can beat your opponent regardless he/she is using shot-aim or not? :)

Hi,

YES, I agree in everything you said there. WSC LOOKS great. But thats the only good thing in the whole series based on my own game-experience and on the videos Ive seen.

I think You need one decent pool / snooker simulator. There is only one game for this.

Hi,

I have tried multiple snooker and pool games and I think vp3 is the most close to the real play. For example I find WSC -series games waay too arcade for me.

Vp3 has some flaws too, but minor. Im just trying to recommend vp3 for the players who are looking for real snooker (or pool) experience on PC.

Of course, everybody can play what they like most. If you like WSC its fine by me. Keep :snooker: :)

Thanks for clearing that up. That looks like just the ticket! Now all they have to do is get the cushion response/sound right and the speed of the table, as these have been inaccurate in all other Snooker games from Blade, especially the earlier ones; the cushions sounded like blocks of wood!

Edit: What machine is that on, PC or console?

About VP3's flaws, isn't one of them that it's flipping ancient now?

wsc 08 on wii is fine for me, although i have managed a 141 break, is still very difficult after unlocking hard difficulty players.
if a shot can't be taken then an icon shows up to say impossible shot. i have never played the games you mention as mainly played pool in pubs or snooker in clubs rather than on computer. i would agree that it is not quite as free moving as real life, but just allow for difference and you generally get used to it. i think if you are so set on the fact that the other game is better, than you just as well not bother with any wsc games. if your heart is set on something and you won't allow yourself to adjust to the games way, then it's just best to steer clear and not give it any thought!

Hi,

You asked for a proper snooker experience on PC and I gave it to You.

Yes, Virtual pool 3 is old, the graphics are not up to date, but the gameplay and the physhics in VP3 are just so awesomely realistic I just could not care less about maybe a little old graphics. Thats my point.

I'm starting to think the graphics are the most important thing in a snooker game for some people and I think that really sucks. The balls look like balls in VP3 and with those physhics and the gameplay, it is enough!

Give vp3 a try man. I can guarantee you won't regret it. Playing online via Gamespy arcade just couldnt be easier. There are weekly tournaments, World-championships, Round-robin tournaments etc. thanks to the Tournament Directors and the Creator of the tourney system.

btw Im still waiting answers for the questions I asked in my earlier posts.

Relax man, it just a game :) ... Probably you right (if that will make you happy), that VP3 has the best physics, the best game play, the most difficult AI, the best control (waggling mouse?), the best bladi-bladi-bla ...

The fact is that not all people find it like that.

Agreedthat's why when I first played WSC 07 for the PS3 I was feeling somewhat disappointed by it's graphics as having seen and played other games on the machine I knew that in my mind the PS3 could do much more than that it looked more like an early ish PS2 game The PS3 is a graphics powerhouse compared with it's predecessors and they have only just begun to tap into it's full potential with those Blue Ray discs and stuff fortunately they look like they may be getting the hang of it with Real 08 I can only hope they've made the game run a little smoother so that it's easier to line up the shots as 07 is terrible for that 05 is alright but I find 07 horrible for ilning up shots

They need to make it like a 'Real' (as the name implies) match that you're actually playing in, rather than watching a match on TV but being in control of the players. A full first person mode is essential. As well as this, they have got to get the sounds/response of the cushions right and the speed of the table as well! I mean, how hard can it be for God's sake??

Frm what I have seen and read of the game I thie releasnk they aer making it a bit of both which is just fine for me maybe prior to the PS3 's arrival on the gaming scene they might not have been able to.but the PS3 as I asid is a powerhouse when it comes to gaming I mean I've played FIFA Formula 1 NBA and Tiger Woods on the PS3 and all the ganmes seem to have a pretty realistic feel t them and I think the 07 version so far is the only one to be released on the PS3 and it looks moer like a PS2 game than a PS3 and I think the game was made with the PS2 in mind as the PS2 was in the transition phase of passing over it's crown to the PS3 but I think for the most part that transition is now over and they'll be focusing more on what the PS3 can provide as long as the shots are easier to line up on Real 08 I dubt I'll be complaining too much as it looks like they've straigtened out the graphics

The graphics look good but balls are a little too shiny

Well I always thought the balls were a ilttle shiny whenever I have watched snoker besides it looks easier at leas to identify which balls aer which becausse at times on WSC 07 I have been caught out a few times when the brown has been amng the reds because they do look a little too similar on there I'm not colour blind or anything and can usually tell but on 07 it has at times been difficult as the graphics haven't been sharp enough

I know it's annoying it's happened several times to me that's why I'm glad they changed the graphics for the nwe one all they need to do is make it easier to line shots up them I might stand a chance of beating some people on the game

Just to let you know it's still listed as 08 on Gameplay as well so they may or may not have updated it I don't know they are sometimes a little slow at that they only changed the January date about a week before that supposed release date. I think I know why they changed it again though to coincide with the World Championship which begins just 2 weeks later to capitalise and get money on the back of that.

Hi,

Has Blade announced any system requirements for the PC version of the upcoming WSC game? Or is there (/will there be) any demo version of this release? Demo version would be great to try out first. I tried fast Googleing but no luck..

They are bound to be listed somewhere however I don't know where I haven't looked at the PC version as I have decided to get the PS3 version however the specs are probably listed somewhere

I'm stuck in walk mode in the middle of a frame and can't get out of it. Anyone else get this? SO annoying, all I can do is quit the flaming match. I'm beginning to regret buying this game. It shouldn't be out of beta release yet in my opinion. Far too many issues.
