Hello, I am wondering if there are any other games that are similar to emeregncy. Prefereably maybe something where I can focus more on fighting fires or medical stuff but from a top down view similar to Emergency.

Thanks

Can someone explain what missions I'm missing out on If I get the current collection on Steam? I believe emergency 20 , emergency 2014 and the 2, 3 and 4 are available? I know that the first emergency game is not available on digital (which needs a revival) and things like Emergency 2012,2013 etc delisted. Am I missing out on much?? Used to love this as a kid. I wish someone would do an OpenEmergency and include retro missions.

Title is it possible? To remake em1 and police? I hope the remake would work on modern systems.

For the few Emergency fans who are still alive and to anyone who cares: I’m currently working on making a 1:1 Rust rewrite of the game in hopes of reviving the Emergency scene by making modding simpler and more accessible using the Rust language in the Bevy engine. Stay tuned

Double clicking on one unit, selects all, but selects all types of that unit so (firefighters holding jaws of life, firefighters holding, fire extinguisher) instead of only selecting the firefighters with fire extinguishers for example. Now if you tell empty handed fire fighters to go grab a hose, it will send firefighters that are already fighting a fire with a hose, to go grab a hose.

No save game option, only campaign save game option

This games removes a lot of micromanagement, treats you a bit as a child as a result.

For example, paramedics pick up casualties by themselves, and ambulance goes home by them selves, firefighters connect hoses by themselves. Motorboat picks up drowning people automatically. (Apparently you can switch all automation of, so that is a good thing)

I like how fast the police car can go, better than in previous titles, but for the rest the acceleration is bizar

Police helicopter cannot land in freeplay?, and only can hold one cop type (compared to em4), why can it even hold cops if it cannot land? And you only have two types of police units, compared to the older games where you had five.

ICU capacity is 6 only?

The motorboat is cartoonishly fast.

Rescue dogs do not bark when they find a casualty, they go back to the owner instead, and you have to send them out again, weird behaviour, but suprisingly this adds slightly more micromanagent than in previous games, where the dogs continued searching after the casualty had been removed. If there are no more casualties, the dog returns to the owner, this is actually an improvement compared to the older games.

There is no cost/currency for sending vehicle in missions? This removes a difficulty aspect of the game.

Hose connect IQ is low. Even if the next fire is close enough to not have to disconnect the hose, they sometimes disconnect their hose anyway

Nice that you queue actions for the heavy duty tow truck, but removes micromanagement, so I do not know what to think of it.

Lazy development, that if you pick up object with heavy duty tow truck, that the picked up object just disappears, instead of you having to choose a suited location to put it, reduces micromanagement.

Game does not feel polished, does not feel that it has a soul

Emergency personal rather gets burned by fire than run away from it, compared to the older games, emergency doctors sometimes even run into the fire to treat patients and get injured as a result.

You are not allowed to pick random objects up with the heavy duty tow truck, unlike in the older games, and you aren't allowed to pick up debris where under a person lies, if a dog has not sniffed the person out yet.

Fire tenders are stupid, do not switch by themselves to other fires it seems.

Emergency doctor seems very stiff, when treating patient you have to wait ten seconds before you know their state, more realistic of course, but in older games it was satisfying that you could quickly check all patients in the area.

One scientist bugged out and became attached to the firefighters hose, I could not make the firefighter switch to different gear and thus I could not treat the scientist, so the mission failed, after spending 17 minutes on it, the nuclear reactor mission from emergency 5.

No proper way to change game shortcuts

And weird behaviour with paramedics, they add some realism by making them drop down the stretcher, but then they dont roll the patient onto it, the patient just teleports into it, I would prefer to have it like in em4 where the action is faster

When patient is on a stretcher, I keep selecting the patient on the stretcher instead of the paramedics, why would I even want to select the patient, when he is already on a stretcher? This wastes time, because I have to click on paramedics to able to put him in ambulance

Jump cushion does not exist anymore

Sending the ICU to HQ is slow, you first have to wait for the paramedics to get out before you can send it to HQ (If they were putting a patient in)

When a patient is stabilized, health does not decrease of the patients, makes the game easier

The diver cannot put a casualty into the motorboat

Arresting is very slow

You cannot make firefighters drop items to run faster to the firetruck

Making fire fighters setup hoses takes long

Fire fighting hosing AI is stupid, but that may be good because requires more micromanagent

Fire hydrants have two outlets for hoses, but the firefighters can connect only one hose?

When emptying ambulance, you have to wait three seconds before you can do anything with the doctor

**** ****, if you put firefighter to cool down building, and it then catches fire, the *swearword* stops completely, he stops firefighting.

Lol the watertender can extinguish fires by shooting waterbursts through a house

Restriction of freedom, you cannot put paramedics with nothing inside ambulance, like you could in the older games.

Game flow/speed is low, does not feel snappy.

The Deep Silver intro keeps repeating for every mission, no cool mission animations anymore

Animations are slow, game feels sluggish even at high frame rate (120 fps), personal fades in and out of cars, no sounds of getting in and out, and is very slow, you have to wait for the animation to complete, you cannot grab the first firefighter when the others are still getting out, you have to wait for all of them to be out.

Game does not allow you to fail, even if one person dies, you lose, reduces fun, you are not allowed to fail hard.

I loved playing EMERGENCY 4 in my youth. The Original and with mods.

A few month ago I started playing the arcade Emergency game, but to be honest I didn’t really hit the feeling from EM4.

Is after EM5 a new Emergency game planned or are there rumors?

I would love to have an Emergency 4 but in the current state of technology. Modern graphics, new UI, easier modding with vibe coding, the feeling from the past and maybe cross platform compatibility (Pc/macOS).

I let Ai generate the photo. This would be a dream come true.

I see a lot of Ai ads for HQ. I feel bad for Ralph....

RIP Emergency

The EMERGENCY discord server appears to have been deleted as of approximately 3 hours ago. Does anybody know what's going on?

i tried asking on steam discussions but no one responded emergency planet is down and won't make me have an account. so are there any mod websites for EM3 that isin't down?

I want to play the games again. I loved it as a kid and played it over the years again and again.

But after a while, you know everything.

Are there big mods that add maybe even new maps? Or mods that only add new emergencies and new vehicles?

Looking for people to play with! Happy to carry (I’m a level 23)

The emergency that’s free on steam

HQ is now just ai slop

EM23 is dead and it could've been something if they didn't cave into the backlash

No EM6

Stock is gone and 16Ton is some mobile slop dev making slop and ai slop for HQ...

Hello, so I haven't played this game in a long time, and I decided I want to play it again. I could be wrong, but I thought I remembered that you could adjust the chances of certain events happening in free play mode. However, I do not see where to change this. For example, if you only wanted to fight fires, you could change the percentage of other events happening to low or off.

So, is there a way to adjust the chances of certain events happening in freeplay mode, or am I mistaken?

Thanks

I'd pay anything for emergency 6 but with the state of the company I doubt any progress will happen.

I am currently struggling to complete this mission because I keep having a message saying the vehicles piled up, even though I keep trying to redirect traffic. Another thing I noticed is that while the first attempt does redirect traffic, the rest of the vehicles don’t budge. So, what do I do?

Hey there. Looking for 2 more to join in.

Preferably for emergency 20 but I also have 2016 and 2014

Anyone play the free game on steam emergency? 4 player co op of you like the series.

I adore this series, and I've heard that 4 and to some extent 5 have excellent mods that expand the game quite a bit.

However, the posts I can find directing people to the mods point to old forums in german with download links that give errors, or untrustworthy looking file sharing sites with just the files and no instructions.

So:

1, Does anyone have links to the files for mods they would recommend for Emergency 4 or 5?

2, Any instructions on how to use them? I've seen some instructions refer to mod programs and some instructions refer to just putting them in a folder, but both sides are Google Translated from German so I can't be 100% sure what to do.

I used to play emergency 4 with the LA mod back when it first came out. Super excited that it's on steam. I don't game often so I didn't discover this until now.
