SH5 4Q 2009???


Anyone else think that the release plot is a pretty soon considering that they only sort of announced that work had started on SH5 at the back end of last year.

As it is build as all new code i just hope that they don't rush it out the door. Instead take as long as possible over it to make sure that it is a bug free upon release as possible.

I know the are people around here who know far far more about building a PC game from scratch than myself.

So what is everyone else views on this.

:hmmm: Totally new code? Will there be a totally new graphics engine? *Maybe i'll need a new rig..*

If SH5 do's like SH4 and makeit so alot of peeps have to upgrade their vid cards again it's going to hurt sales.

I don't mean build a new rig either.

There's still fast agp cards out there and ram is almost give away.

My old rig had a 7800GT 512mb and 4 gigs of ram that XP couldn't use all of and SH4 ran with al settings on high with good fps and smooth game play.

Also something else to add.

What OS are the UBI devs useing to build SH5 ?

What kinda rig specs are they useing ?

This can make a difference too. :yep:

Good question. I have recently got a new rig Quad core with Vista 64 bit. I wonder if it will work with 64bit OS and will be optimised for more than single core processors out of the box.

Alot of people here don't realize the hidden hard work that went into GWX 3.0 so alot of players could play on their differing computers.

Lets hope UBI takes that into consideration in these tough economic times.

An upgrde of specs or OS just isn't in the cards for alot of players .

I, for one, would be willing to accept modest graphics in exchange for superior AI, depth, realism, and detail. Gameplay and immersion! But I think I'm rather the exception in not caring as much about the graphics.

Lets hope it's a mixture of all things , for all people.

On the point of a possible SH5 release, I hope its not rushed and they make a good effort of it.

Given the fact that Ubisoft hasn't even officially announced SH5 to be in production, I have just a quick question for those who are waiting to see SH5 released in 2009.

When in history did an important game producer announce a big release just 5 months before the game hits the shelves?

My guess is we won't be able to play SH5 (if any) before mid-2010, at earliest.

Random thought popped into my head reading this. Isn't it odd UBI have never thought to do a ww1 expansion pack for any SH game when their name is a class of ww1 coastal U boat!

I'm with dcb. After the little I've heard I doubt it will be out any time this year.

Mush appreciated...

Me too that is what i was getting at with my starting post. It just seems to fast and we have heard so very little about the project.

You are not entirely alone, my friend.

[Sailor Steve]

Well, I have this problem. Back when SH3 was still in the works I posted that I would be happy with AOD's gameplay and SH2's graphics. After four years of SH3 I'm kind of addicted. I like the way SH3 and even more SH4 handle interiors and the way their ships look, and I'm not sure I'd want to go back to anything less.

But that's just me.

[FIREWALL]

I think the graphics are fine. I'd like to see more interact with stations.

More control over engines and other stations.

Able to make notes and other things on map.

A more interactive radio... reporting and receiving.

A better Academy. Haveing to earn Dolphins or Command of Uboot.
