Do we really need a Silent Hunter 6? - Page 2

Oh my, well I dont know about SH6 or care right now. I think we should concetrate on coming to grips with what we have in front of us now.

But what I really want to know is how Olaf's sister Olga got in here.

We're going to keep needing attempts at Silent Hunter until UBI gets it right!

I personally wouldn't mind at all if we didn't see another WWII sub sim for 3 or 4 years. At that point, either Ubisoft could release another one, hopefully having learned something from the SH5 fiasco, or there may even be a new interested Publisher by then.

I think the last thing we need is 'Silent Hunter 6 Fiasco in the Pacific' about 12 months down the line.

Please send me the SH6 Fiasco in the Pacific I want a copy!

I expect SH to progress into a mid 70s-modern extreme naval warfare simulator,thus implementing sub forces and being able to manage full CVBGs from several Navies in a GLOBAL coverage.I dont mind really if is published or developed by UBI or other Team.
In a short future,Massive Multiplayer Online must be the first target,giving main roles to player s creation and imagination in order to writte perhaps a very different nowadays peace.

I might get into a bit of trouble for that ...

Simply put, why would you expect this?

There have been 5 versions of Silent Hunter so far. They've all been WWII sims. They've all been sub sims.

With four sequels, the only move to anything beyond WWII sub sim was Destroyer Command, and that was a long time ago. All surface ship and more modern subs have been mods. Nothing official from the devs.

Not that I have a problem with a Cold War/Modern sim. I'm just not sure it fits under the Silent Hunter name.

As for the original question, "Do we really need a Silent Hunter 6?" No. We don't. We didn't need a Silent Hunter 5. Or 1, 2, or 3. We don't need computer games at all.

We might want them, though. I'd love to see a Silent Hunter 6 in the Pacific. If it comes with DRM, I'll have to pass. If it has gameplay like SH5, I'll pass as well. But if they demonstrate they have learned from this release, it could be worth it. There's some interesting things going on with SH5, and it could have a lot of potential.

You know what would be funny and pretty cool too ? SH6 being an online game where everyone is part of the crew, this having 30-40 people connected at once, doing various tasks around the sub... my guess is we wouldn't even leave the port before sinking because the Helmsman went afk

but oh it would be so funny

Or, as he can't be the captain, he steers the boat into another ship and everyone dies.

Maybe they need to raise the bar higher next time. A complete sub simulator with both the Pacific and Atlantic threaters in one simulation. Polished before release, of course.

Nope! If it's going to be in Polish I'm not buying.

Yes, and by that time, we will have established colonies on other planets.
