The amount of historical knowledge offered for this game is absolutely stunning and the team hasn't hidden how much they've worked with Titanic experts for this re-creation. What's really stunning is that only 6% of the traversable areas of the ship are explorable and the devs promise that 100% of the ship will be explorable in the finished product. It's basically a walking simulator throughout the ship but the level of detail and the fun information to be learned about the ship is incredible. ![]() There's one more AooT reference in the demo (It's a semi-jump-scare so you have been warned).Īgain, this is just a demo, so you can't travel throughout the whole ship or interact with anything. The game also points out the first-class cabin where the player character in Adventure out of Time is. If you get tired of just wandering, you can hit a button and turn on a series of information boxes scattered around the map which will share interesting facts and details about different areas of the ship, (particularly who was in what rooms in the first class quarters). The dev team has cleverly hidden a few "Support us" messages around the map (the most clever of which is one written in the fogged up mirror in the Turkish Bath). You can even read the menu of the A La Carte Restaurant on the wall outside of it for example. Even so, the level of detail is simply incredible (just look at this image as an example). Cleverly placed objects such as paint-buckets, wooden work benches, crates, curtains, or even tea-carts serve as a means of blocking off the unavailable parts of the ship. The demo is generally the ability to explore select areas of the Titanic while she's still docked in Belfast and undergoing the final touches inside (hence the tool boxes, paint buckets, and liquor bottles stashed everywhere) and is ready to sail out for her sea-trials. Is TH&G a recreation of AooT? No, but by the developers' own admission, there is some overlap (i.e. Titanic: Honor and Glory is going to be the first fully 3D and most detailed model of the ill-fated RMS Titanic to have been made so far, far outclassing the old Adventure out of Time game. However, to one team of Titanic enthusiasts, there's something already in the works that'll be launching by or around 2020. The tragedy of Titanic is one that has persisted for over 100 years now, existing only in museum pieces, photographs, and even in a certain PC game from 1996 (Titanic: Adventure out of Time, on sale on Steam for $6.00). I'm so impressed with the quality of this re-creation I'm allowing this image to be downloaded as a wallpaper.įor those of us who grew up in the 90s, we'll remember the buzz around the James Cameron 1997 movie surrounding the tragedy of the RMS Titanic. The Demo doesn't allow anyone to go beyond C deck on the fore staircase and there's no way to get to the fore staircase on B-Deck in the demo. The Demo can be downloaded for free here - (Warning, the compressed zip file is almost 5 GB large.the Demo itself is 9 GB large).Īnd before anyone grouses at me that there's something off with this staircase, this is the aft Grand Staircase on Titanic, not the familiar fore staircase (Note the lack of decoration around the clock). ![]() Those who contributed $15 or more to the project gained early access to these demos, but those who have contributed $15 or more in the past or future will still be granted access to a private Facebook group we set up for discussions about the demo/s, and now about the project and Titanic in general.The image above was acquired through the demo of Titanic: Honor and Glory, currently under development. But more than that, a chunk of Titanic history is also included the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, (Northern) Ireland! In this demo, the explorable interior is expanded to include areas from Demo 1 and a couple other places, as well as additional teasers and visible rooms. You’ve been waiting for ages, you’ve heard the talk, you’ve seen the teasers, you’ve watched the latest videos, now play it yourself! It is available for PC as either a regular demo or a VR demo.
