Deadliest Catch - The Video Game?
Some folks have posted comments suggesting Deadliest Catch should be made into a full-fledged video game. I think with a little imagination it could probably be done. After all, there’s already bass-fishing and games of that ilk out there. This is like bass-fishing on steroids… not only do you have to worry about where the crab are and how to catch them, you have to battle the elements, fight rogue waves, assist in rescues of other crews/ships, catch your crab before the ice pack descends, etc. etc. I could definitely see these themes woven together into a playable video game. Granted it’ll probably never become a #1 hit, but there’s enough Deadliest Catch fans out there I think to make it a reasonable success.

yes finally some one is listening
i think greenhorn all the way to captain and of course like a mixture of realtime strategy(for navigating long distances,but if you wanted to do it youself u could) ,first peson(for deckhand , being at the rail, repairing, and sorting) and the ability to steer the boat if you are a thrill seeker. 40 foot waves a crab boat that you buy out of a selection. and mabe upgrading as you play. you know making the boat longeg puting a better engine in, and others
July 2nd, 2007 at 1:39 am
oh and it would neeed xbox 360 graphics like being able to see every drop of water, every detali on the crab
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:39 pm
The Deadliest Catch Video game is something I have tried many times to access. I cannot get past turning a blank page or two on the book. Is there suppose to be some software that I need to download first? I have Java, Windows XP, and about $7000.00 worth of Microsoft, Oracle, SQL 7, and proprietor software loaded on this computer.

July 13th, 2007 at 1:17 am
does anyone actually read these…why is there not a game being made….there are a lot of game devoplers out here someone must be able to create the game…i wish i could
July 13th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
:O an online MMORPG(massively multiplayer online role playing game)!!! create a charecter, customise it, give it base skills, and then as you gain ‘levels’(your charecter goes up one level for however much experiance you gain) you aquire better skills, better gear, and more access to the boat until you finally become a captian! this way you can assemble a team or real-time players to go out crab fishing with you. thought it might be worth saying.
July 13th, 2007 at 4:50 pm

September 28th, 2007 at 2:20 am
I AGREE with all of you! We need to get this webpage to a software designer or someone who can get this idea into a reality, if someone could design this game properly, Deadliest Catch the video game would absolutley amazing. I’m willing to bet who ever designs this game would make millions.
October 10th, 2007 at 6:32 am
you gave me crabs
October 17th, 2007 at 1:06 am
that was random dude
October 17th, 2007 at 4:31 am
the show is the shit but it would be hard to make a game out of. even though the bass fishing games aren’t half bad. but as far as the deadliest catch games, yea it would be hard. I have grown up deep sea fishing my whole life and it would be hard to make
October 25th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
This is a great game and though i know it would be hard to make i hope it happens as id definitly buy it
October 25th, 2007 at 8:19 pm

November 14th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
If we can get a thousand or so names I can send it to 2K games, the ones who create all the Sid Meier games.
November 26th, 2007 at 4:16 am
They really should make a game of deadliest catch. All the deadliest catch fans would want to buy a game of this kind. I love the show and if there was a game of it i would be the first one at the store to buy it. They should make it like you can control every single crew member on the boat and fish crab or go into like a career mode where you create a guy and start as a green horn and gain experience just controlling him. Then work your way up to a captain. When controlling every single person you can do all the jobs that has to be done on a crab boat manually. And also when captain you have a gps, maps, and find where to put your pots and controls the ship and everything etc. and one more thing make everything like the show and realistic like the waves and putting the real fishermen in the game like sig hansen, phil harris and the hilstrand brothers. even make the island look real like dutch harbour or st. paul island. With all that said i think they should make this game with all these ideas put into it!!!
December 5th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
Brody….visit this site, and youll notice how i think the game should be

February 1st, 2008 at 8:17 pm
ive been hoping for a game like this before the show even exsisted because i live in alaska and work on boats. one thing i think would be cool to add would be ability to create your own boat where you can choose stuff like the length,width,color,name and if its house aft or house forward and maybe some more options i think that would be cool i hope this game comes out
February 2nd, 2008 at 5:26 am
I talk to the deck boss of the Aleutian ballad back in june 07, He herd it was in the works.

April 14th, 2008 at 3:52 am
Deadliest catch should be made into a video game. It would be one of the best games in the world as long as it had good graphics. Controlling a boat pulling up pods it would be awesome.
April 17th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Man please make a ps3 game of the deadliest catch season 4
April 17th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
You definetltly need to make a video game about it. I have wanted to see if there a video game off of it, it would be so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure it is on P.S.2.

I hope one of the crew members you can pick to work the deck is Ragnall (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) from the Farwest Leader. Even if she is a “snivler” she is cool.

June 24th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
Needs to be on PS3. When the commercial first aired it was going to be for ALL platforms,……. now just crappy 360 and PC?? Get real……
June 25th, 2008 at 5:47 am
Does any one know when Deadlest Catch is being released on Wii. I have heard they are working on it. But I haven’t found a release date for it yet.
Thanks Den
June 25th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
So traveler70, anything you don’t have is crappy? Real=more pc’s than consoles. Wake up a bit buddy.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Hel- er-, heck yeah (little kids might be reading this, gotta keep it ‘g’.
It’s about frackin’ time! The show kicks butt - i’ve been a fan since the first season. and i’m wondering if a demo is going to be realesed for the pc
I’m hoping that the game will be very realistic. do i think i have the mental disicplen to be a crab fisherman, yeah, without a doubt! i’ve had my share of physically demanded jobs- like a longshormen- i.e. dockworker.
although i’m thinking that if i did end up on one of those boats, i’d buy a top of the line artic survival suit just in case mr. fate decides i should go swiming.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Traveler70- they are going to have to dumb the grafics down alot to get it on the wii. They are already in trouble trying to dumb down the grafics so the average computer can handle it (notice the release date being pushed back every week)
JB- you can have it shipped to europe. This is being produced by a very small company. I dont think Sid knew it would be such a hit with people. Hopefully if/when they come out with deadliest catch 2 it will be produced by a company that can handle the demand.
this has been pushed out to the 15th of july now.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Deadliest catch is one of my favirote shows make it a ps2 game
June 26th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Why is the PC version not released yet? I see on that is is now not due to be released till July 15th!!! what is the big hang up witht he PC version? The version for the X-BOX 360 is out
June 27th, 2008 at 12:12 am
IS TIS GOND BE ON PS2
June 27th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Anonymous- as i said above, it is out on the xbox, the grafics were set to a level that the xbox could handle. The developers felt that they needed to reduce the level requirments for the pc version. basically they are dumbing down the grafix so people with crap computers can still play.
The whole reason it isnt released is the are busy making it look worse so the average or less then average computer can handle it. the current target low ball specs are as follows:
Operating System : Windows XP, Vista
Processor : 2 GHz Pentium 4 (released in 2001)
RAM : 512 MB
Video Card : GeForce 5900 or ATI 9600 Pro with 128 MB of video RAM (Geforce 5900 released in 2002)
i sure hope they allow people who pay money to keep PC’s up date the option to pump up the grafics.
July 1st, 2008 at 2:05 am
i am the game and i was wondering if any one else does?
also can fights break out on the deck, please answer and thank
July 1st, 2008 at 1:28 pm
zomg…this game is awesome
Compared to the hustle and bustle of most video games, this is an easy going simulator that is rather relaxing when the waters are calm, and interesting once the waves start going (especially if you have the sea-sick cam on). Its the perfect game to kick up in a recliner with a few beers and kill a few hours without too much stress.
The only thing is the audio is very dull but you can stream your own music from the harddrive or your network on the 360.
I will say the controls are rather clunky, the throttle has a large dead zone and is hard to really dial in on a speed less than 4 knots. And it is really gratifying for some reason to look out in the ocean and spot your own buoys seeing as they are only marked on your radar and sonar as general locations.
I dont know if fights will break out but Ive seen them do practical jokes on one another. Maybe if you push them hard and get their morale low they may fight.
July 6th, 2008 at 12:08 am
I cant belive they only made it for ebox360 !!!! All i have is a ps2! I watch deadliest catch every day!
