Battle 40-foot waves, storms, ice and a nearly 100 percent crew member injury rate in the dangerous hunt for undersea riches on the Bering Sea with the new video game Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm, to be launched on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC.
The game was inspired by Sig, Edgar and Norman Hansen — three brothers who have made their living crab fishing on the Bering Sea aboard their family’s fishing vessel, the Northwestern. The Hansen brothers started game development with Liquid Dragon Studios in October 2005.
Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm lets gamers captain their own boat in the frenzied search for an undersea jackpot. Gamers select one of five real crab boats, including the Northwestern, Cornelia Marie and Sea Star ” all featured on the series, or create and customize their own boat. Gamers then recruit and lead their own crew from a roster of 20 real crab fishermen. Selecting the wrong boat or recruiting the wrong crew member can mean the difference between landing a Bering Sea jackpot or disaster. Lead your fatigued, hungry and hardworking crew in the strategic search for king crab and opilio crab, while battling to secure your catch and livelihood before other captains and crews get to the crab first.
Authenticity and realism were critical to the Hansen brothers. The game features four real Bering Sea harbors and 34,000 miles of Bering Sea coastline created from the United States Geological Survey. In addition, Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm is the first video game to feature United States Coast Guard vessels and helicopters.
With waves over 40 feet high, Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm features the best wave effects in a video game to date. In the words of Capt. Sig Hansen, “It may not be life or death, but chills went up my spine the first time I saw Northwestern sink in the game.”
Weather and fishing conditions are based on authentic weather and storm data and get progressively worse each season, increasing the challenge. The ultimate goal is to return safely each season, upgrade your boat and crew, and attempt to break Capt. Sig Hansen and the Northwestern crew’s actual lifetime catch of 20 million pounds.
Experience the thrill of captaining your own boat while searching for undersea riches in Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm for your Windows PC. Battle 40-foot waves, storms, ice and a nearly 100-percent crewmember injury rate on the icy Bering Sea. Select one of 5 real crab boats featured on the Discovery Channel series, or create and customize your own boat. Then choose your own crew from a roster of 20 real crab fishermen. Selecting the wrong boat or crew member can lead to disaster. Lead your fatigued, hungry and hardworking crew in the search for King Crab and Opilio Crab, while battling to secure your catch before other crews get there first. Realism is added with 4 real Bering Sea harbors and 34,000 miles of real Bering Sea coastline created from the United States Geological Survey. Weather and fishing conditions are based on authentic weather data and get worse each season. The ultimate goal is to return safely each season, upgrade your boat and crew, and attempt to break the real-life Captain Sig Hansen’s actual lifetime catch of twenty million pounds.

Here are a few short videos showing some of the gameplay in the upcoming video game, Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm. The title is expected to be released sometime in mid May. From the looks of the videos, the overall graphics don’t look bad. The majority of the game centers on the simulation aspect as players will be able to choose from one of the boats from the series or can use their own custom vessel. They can also choose crew members and decide whether to go for the experienced (and well paid) crew or mix in some greenhorns. Every decision impacts the game. Even the migration pattern of the crabs have been recreated in the game to make it as every bit lifelike as possible.

There has been some talk on the shows various message boards that turning the show into a video game would be a great idea. Discovery already has a flash game on their fansite that has proven to be fairly popular. The player makes decisions such as choosing the right boat, supplies and crew members to bring on board. Then it’s a race to drop your pots, let them soak , and then pulling them in to reveal your catch. All the while decisions have to be made as situations arise and time needs to be budgeted wisely. The concept of the game was great but the game play and simulation aspect is limited. This raises the question if a more detailed simulation would be met with enough enthusiasm to make it a legitimate concept in the eyes of a developer.
I think the game would be best as a two fold simulation, combining elements of a nautical simulation with the additional in game concept of realistically portrayed crab fishing. Some aspects of the discovery flash game should also be included such as choosing your crew members and budgeting supplies as well. The nautical simulation would need to on the same scale of games such as Virtual Sailor . If you haven’t tried the game you should check out the demo of it. Although the game is nowhere intended as a crab fishing simulation, it is an excellent nautical simulation. Additionally, a couple of users of the program have recreated two of the Deadliest Catch fleet, the Northwestern and Maverick that can be downloaded and used in the game. Now if only someone could model Dutch Harbor and the Bering Sea to use in the game. The models of both boats are very well done and the in game weather system allows you to recreate some harsh Bering Sea type weather. You can also run the controls from the helm on either boat or use an external 3rd camera view. Either way the game is a an excellent simulation for those who are looking for something to pass the time. If however you are looking for a crab fishing simulation you’ll need to keep looking and waiting. At least my nautical skills will be up to par if a game ever does come about. And you can’t beat sailing around in a virtual Northwestern and viewing an unbelievable sunset.
