So is this it!

What if...


There was the gameplay of AOD and the Graphics of SH3 put together in one game....

Somebody should do an AOD mod for SH3.

Better the graphics of SH5.

RUB, NYGM, and GWX were all attempts to do just that. AOD had great gameplay, but was a very simple program. There is no way that AOD could be adapted. What is needed is a new game, completely new, combining the best routines with the latest graphics. Even then I can think of some ideas even AOD didn't have.

What I can't do is come up with several million dollars to produce and market what would be needed.

Ultimately, yes, we'd need a new engine to get everything we want. And outside of an indie developer, I don't see that happening.

All Indie Developers UNITE!

Perhaps we could give SHIII the graphics of SHV? Hopefully 3 has the right sort of engine, and it's been done before. Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is a game from 2001 that was given all new graphics in 2011, without changing gameplay at all. Perhaps we could try something like that?

Been discussed several times before, and it's not possible. Much easier to give SH3's gameplay to SH4. Actually, SH4's is better, except for a couple of parts they broke. If modders had paid more attention to SH4 it would be much better than SH3. But that didn't happen, and likely never will.

Now if someone could just figure out how to get the good parts of SH3 into SH5, that might make a difference. There are still a few things AOD and SH1 did that none of the newer versions seem to be able to replicate. We'll see what the future holds.

Its definately possible, it just takes time like any good thing. Couple that with the fact that SH5 is probably the last Sub Simulation that UBI will put out or that will be out for a while, and I feel that eventually, as each modder tinkers away more and more, SH5 will get better and better.
