Ubi? No thanks.

What I WOULD like is a completely re-done thing like "Great Naval Battles of the North Atlantic".

That game had a lot of potential (in fact it wasn't bad anyway, although suffered from terribly stupid AI of course).

What COULD be done these days could be remarkable, and I bet it would sell gangbusters.

All of these companies are so stuck on there money making FPS'ers. Quick map change, upgrade some graphics, release, That they'll never give the time needed to develop a full scale sim.

I agree about how the FPS'ers "upgrade the map and some graphics and release" It's really lazy and thoughtless when you think about it, but then again people buy it. I'm content with my SH3 GWX3 and SH4 RFB. I really don't know if it can get any better than that to be honest. The only way to be the most realistic would be to join the Navy and get on a real submarine. I however don't think real sub life would be as enjoyable as playing a video game....

That being said, I really hope Ubi doesn't come out with a SH6. Enough already, what else can be done?

DelphiUniverse · 03-22-11, 11:26 PM

If ever sh6 is to be made, ubisoft obviously lack manpower to complete a game, they should put all manpower into cleaning up sh5 and update gfx to modern day gfx cards then spend remaining time in cleaning up the code and also improve the technics in the game, they shouldnt spend too much time in improving replayability, the mod community does a good enough job there. They should focus on cleaning up and making it even easier to mod.

Tiny · 03-23-11, 04:16 AM

Well if they do it has to be modern setting or cold war, hunting russian Aculas, Denzel Washington style.

BigBANGtheory · 03-23-11, 04:18 AM

Do you think Ubisoft would see any commercial value in SH6 at this point?

SH5 was an unfinished project there was clearly some good ideas and skill at work, if I were a lead developer I would consider going alone and folowing the example of more professional sim companies like Eagle Dynamics.

Feuer Frei! · 03-23-11, 05:55 AM

SH 6 and Ubisoft will never happen.
More chance of me winning the lottery.
Their priorities lay elsewhere, SH 5 is a prime example of that.

Cpt. Grouch · 03-23-11, 04:14 PM

I'd like to see an expansion pack with more submarines. The type IXs would be a lot of fun to sail around, especially since they were designed more for long range solo missions instead of wolfpacks, which ubisoft failed at and the modders fixed.

That being said, just ask ubisoft for a type IX with its varients, then tell them to go away. Oh and open up the campaign for 43-45 (perfect type IX timetable).

Its a shame though because I really enjoy the campaigns in these games. I played the SH4 american campaign and enjoyed it a lot, I'd really love to see them do a expansion pack based on Type IX war patrols/areas of operation.

I'd like to point out that I've yet to finish SH5 in the campaign (I keep starting over LOL). So i'm not sure if ubisoft already incorporated type IX areas of operation to the campaign.

vodkaphile · 06-07-11, 10:13 PM

I know this thread is old....I haven't been to the forum in a while...

Silent Hunter 6? I'm still playing Silent Hunter 3, haha.

So behind!! :/

I do own SH4 and the expansion though...

However, only played about 20 hours total.

Kelcom · 07-30-11, 07:41 PM

I think Silent Hunter 6 will be great!

I read somewhere that the Ubi team was going to return to their "original" simulator type game, like SH3, instead of the console oriented gameplay.

But I have to say that the WWIII theme and the fact that it's supposed to be realistic has gotten really exited about the new release.

Sailor Steve · 07-31-11, 04:01 AM

First, WELCOME ABOARD!

Second, where did you read that? There is no evidence that UBIsoft has any intention of making another Silent Hunter.

That was also part of the plan for SH5

However I think it would take almost a year's work for a full team in just cleaning up, fixing long standing bugs and updating the game with the modders' work

I found this at Ubi forums yesterday. Never is a long time.

Unfortunately I have not received any information on a new Silent Hunter title in the works. But that being said, the community that plays this game is strong and I am pretty sure that they will continue making titles for the series.

Please post a link. You give no indication of who said it or what his status is. The Ubi forum is a big place.

[SJ]nailz · 08-10-11, 12:32 PM

What we need is a nuke sub game, using a modern GFX engine... bugger the "walkable" sub... jump to stations, sub command style, but have a top-end DX11 3d engine for the external/peri views... I'd buy that....
