A CALL TO UBISOFT GUYS !

tonibamestre · 02-02-15, 10:21 AM

Hey Srs from Ubisoft ! We entered into the 2015 and the lack of any updated naval simulator is ABSOLUTELY TOTAL. Thats why I think something new could be studied from scratch, its time to. Would be nice a Silent Hunter sequel, SH6 Cold War or so, first nukes + attack subs, more playability, more detail and technical items + ultimate effects.

Here is my disertation.

Yes we need to have a sub game on the level of COD.Better graphics and a new theater of operations.

Sailor Steve · 02-02-15, 12:38 PM

As I've said many times in the past, they have yet to give us a truly great WW2 simulator.

As many others have said, better graphics without any kind of decent gameplay is a waste of everybody's time. Just look at SH5.

As still others have said, it's no use asking Ubisoft for anything. They don't care about anything but grabbing the easy money.

True words, unfortunately.
I rather have the SH series to rest at the bottom of the ocean then to resurface under Ubisoft's flag once again - just to be disappointed again.

Allow me to clear my throat:

DESTROYER COMMAND 2 OR CRUISER/BATTLESHIP/FLEET COMMAND

We've had enough U-Boats for now. What we need is a blend of Total War on the strategic map, and Destroyer Command on the battle map. Full "what if" or historical campaigns, Full fleet control, ship control, etc. Include all the Plan Z ships, the Montanas, maybe even edge into the Cold War. Use a simplified mechanic to manage the land/air war but still allow the player to manage the strategy. Will it ever happen?

NO. Ubisoft has zero interest, and there are no small studios who have the resources to make it happen. The ship modeling alone will require a full team of pros to build.

It doesn't help the "Indie" case when a studio like Storm Eagle (Distant Guns/Jutland) walks off with well over $100 of my hard earned money with no updates since 2013.

ikalugin · 02-04-15, 01:22 AM

Can I get my Soviet pr23 ships? Pretty please?

captziggy · 02-03-15, 09:40 AM

I agree that Ubisoft is the worst game maker out there.They start with a good idea then botch it up.If not for modders than they would be out of business.They did a horrible job on SH5 and what comes next we need to have SOME input.But I don't hold my breath that they will listen. SAD!

ReallyDedPoet · 02-03-15, 11:31 AM

We have some other games in the works, WOTA that is one being made for mobile but plans are also for the PC. Same for Crash Dive. I think UBI had it's day.

tonibamestre · 02-03-15, 01:19 PM

Oh guys, we really need a dedicated team developing something new ! What s up with Sonalyst Combat Simulations ?

If you are looking to ubisoft to fix the fact that there is no major naval game title in the works - you are barking up the wrong tree. They barfed up the last two additions to the series. Its time we gave someone else a shot

PHIRDAWS · 02-06-16, 12:29 AM

coz in wwII there are no women in subs...cmon its the current year!!

Red Devil · 02-13-16, 04:28 PM

I have been watching people compalin about Ubisoft for over a decade now. They are damn useless.

THey make a great idea for a game, rush it through development, try it for maybe 5 minutes, and package it out.

Rarely do they make patches - Far Cry 2 is a perfect example; I cant even guess how many bugs are in that, and SH series is riddled. Ubisoft do not CARE.

IN FC2, I was in that forum which was 'monitored' by Ubi men - so they say - like hell.

My advice is dont buy Ubisoft but try and persuade a top company to make sub sims etc. If the make the right ones, especially like SH4, they are on a winner.

BigBANGtheory · 02-22-16, 06:44 AM

imho the problem is mostly about developers and publishers understanding the sim audience and then finding a business model to support both parties.

There are a number of positive factors playing into this right now:
1. Re-invention of VR plays nicely into Subsim gameplay
2. Game engines like UE4 and CryEngine have never been so easily accesible for startups
3. Crowdfunding has produced some decent titles
4. Lock On Modern Air Combat (developed by ED, published by Ubisoft) went on basically to become DCS

What you need is someone like KillHouse Games to do what Eagle Dynamics did, have some licensing agreement with Ubisoft for a set number of years but essentially go it alone with a team imparting their experience and passion into a new product. Ubisoft would possibly give up some of the IP, rights and source code if there is a commercial interest for them I doubt they would do it out of kindness to a community.

Simmers want quality and virtual freedom
Developers want to be appreciated and rewarded for their efforts
Publishers want a large return on investment with as little risk as possible

Red Devil · 02-22-16, 07:45 AM

I was pleased to see SH4 appear in Steam, but hope Steam can build in mods and/or patches to make it even better. At present it is picking up my disc based game saves, it should be separate; it is on sep drive under steam library.

I have Age of Empires 2 HD via steam, its an excellent example of steam providing patches that auto intergrate into game, when available, on start up.

I hope steam can do the same with SH4
