Big Announcement Coming

[GoldenRivet]

According to little birdy... first or second week of February, big announcement / update.

:shucks:

[Ducimus]

Meh, hype.

[Nisgeis]

Is this a small announcement then?

[Paajtor]

No, this will be the biggest, no doubt:O:

[Kapitanleutnant]

According to little birdy... first or second week of February, big announcement / update.


Game has been delayed until Q4 2010. Calling it now.

[longam]

Delay could be possible

[Lanzfeld]

Neal is pregnant.:yeah:

[GoldenRivet]

Neal is pregnant.:yeah:

close, and it does not involve a delay or anyone or anything else being late for that matter :haha:

[Kapitanleutnant]

....playable demo?

[Rip]

....playable demo?


Unplayable demo?
:doh:

[Kapitanleutnant]

Wouldn't that just be a gameplay video?

[Webster]

actually they are giving all subsim members a free beta copy of sh5 to test :woot:



or maybe not :nope:

[Uber Gruber]

Please ignore me if I don't jump up and down with excitement when I hear the phrase "Big Announcement Coming"... i'm a Pompey fan :damn:

[Randomizer]

Is an announcement that an announcement is coming anything like a warning that a warning will follow?

[Seeadler]

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE60B59C20100112

Electronic Art's CEO John Riccitiello is changing to Ubisoft and becomes the new lead producer of SH5. The project will be postponed to Q3 2011 just for including FIFA Soccer 1942, so we can play on the field behind the warehouse during harbour time.:salute:

[simsurfer]

Good or bad?

[IanC]

According to little birdy... first or second week of February, big announcement / update.

:shucks:

With all due respect, what is the point of this thread exactly? Get us guessing for 3 weeks?

[GoldenRivet]

With all due respect, what is the point of this thread exactly? Get us guessing for 3 weeks?

All im sayin' is... there is supposedly a big announcement first or second week February 2010

i dont know exactly what it is going to be as i wasnt privy to that information.

[Sulikate]

Unplayable demo?
:doh:
I'd be happy with a "playable" final product.

[Ducimus]

Yeah, well I heard from a guy, who knew a guy that was Dan's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate that, there's a big announcement coming! :D

[JScones]

Quick, let the speculation of what it will be begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see it now:

1 FEB 2010: HUGE SH5 UPDATE!
In Romania today, Ubisoft has finally removed all speculation by stating categorically that they have commenced considering the possibility of possibly considering the possibility of adding Wolfpacks to SH5! This is great news for Silent Hunter fans, who now finally know the fate of their most requested feature!!!!

An Ubisoft source stated "We know Wolfpacks are a popular feature request, and now we can say that assuming we can make a decision in the next three weeks, we think we'll have enough time to completely implement them between then and release one week later!".(TIC in case it's not obvious).

[Sailor Steve]

Yeah, well I heard from a guy, who knew a guy that was Dan's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate that, there's a big announcement coming! :D
I was stoned and I missed it.

[karamazovnew]

Neah, they'll show a new video, probably an entire attack procedure. We'll see the new interface at last. And they'll announce pushing back the game till June or something like that. I was counting on it :haha:. WHo knows maybe they'll release a small beta demo version to keep us busy until then.

Oh they will, but we're not getting that one in the first week of Febuary. We're getting it in March and it won't be free :O:

[Nisgeis]

I heard from a guy down the pub that overheard Dan's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate tell Ducimus that the announcement will be whether or not they have fixed the sink. He did say that he was stoned and may have mis-heard.

[TarJak]

I gotta change pubs.

[TDK1044]

I found a secret e-mail from Ubisoft......

"Because of the predictions found in the Mayan calendar, it is our belief that we will not have sufficient time to patch the game before the end of the world. We are therefore cancelling the game.

This is unfortunate, as we had just started to understand Uber Gruber's anger at us, having discovered that he's a Pompey fan. He has therefore already experienced the end of the world." :)

Your excellent humor of a few years back was an integral part of subsim, UG. Don't let your frustration at Ubisoft surpress that. :D

[Hitman]

According to little birdy... first or second week of February, big announcement / update.

:shucks:

Yeah, but from UBI or from someone else? I mean, aboout SH5 or something else? :88)

My guess:

"ANNOUNCEMENT!!!: Due to disgusting joking with the subsim.com community, GoldenRivet has been Keelhauled :arrgh!: "

[Uber Gruber]

You needn't worry there TDK, but thanks for the concern.

Unfortunately, being only a meer mortal puts me somewhat at a disadvantage. As mortals, I believe, have a tendency to get a little frustrated and annoyed at incompetence, arsology and bad spelling.

Did you hear they wont even let Neal beta-test the blighter ? How annoying is that ? Still, I must endeavour to curtail my humaness so I can walk amongst the gods n'est-ce pas ?:D

UG

[TDK1044]

My guess would be that Ubisoft will announce that there will be some kind of access to the game prior to its release. Didn't they do that with SHIV at some location in the UK?

It's either that or Dan's coming out! :)

Kidding, Dan! No need for the 44 magnum!!!! :D

[Seeadler]

The Gamestar, a German gaming magazine writes today, that Ubisoft has reported yesterday that some of their games who are scheduled for release Q1 2010 now are postponed. Similarly, some of their game projects who are already in development and still should be published in Q1, are now completely cancelt. But Ubisoft don't tells for now the names of these games!

[TDK1044]

So the announcement will now be:

SH5 will be a console only title as Ubi need to raise funds and those mindless button mashers will buy anything.....

:D

Edit - Umm, I was semi joking. Seems Guillemot is not:

The 2010-11 line-up will be more focused on the Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION® 3, the consoles which are expected to experience sustained sales growth in games for gamers in calendar 2010.

:(

[GoldenRivet]

My guess:

"ANNOUNCEMENT!!!: Due to disgusting joking with the subsim.com community, GoldenRivet has been Keelhauled :arrgh!: "

:haha:

whose joking??

i can only relay what i heard. :salute:

of course their opinion of "big announcement" and ours may differ.

my guess... first or second week of February - more screenies or another video of sorts:hmm2:

of course until then... it is pure speculation, there is always the possibility that the big announcement will be delayed or might never happen at all

such is life

[tomoose]

UBI, fed up with all the nitpicking complaints from the sub sim community have had enough and are dumping the project altogether.:O::D;)

[Ship Hunter]

The Russian Page (http://buka.ru/cgi-bin/show.pl?id=487&type=screenshots)where the new screenshots are from says:

"Дата выхода II квартал 2010г."

Which Google Translate says means:

"Released II quarter of 2010."

Is this statement for russia only?!

[Catfish]

Hello,
someone mis-translated this 2nd quarter into second month of 2010.
And it's the release for the iPod, not PC :rotfl2:

LOL maybe thats what it is... though i doubt it. :hmmm::hmmm:

[Deep Dive]

Maybe it is the last SH to be released from Ubi
as they will concentrate on consoles in the future
Let's hope SH5 will have only a few bugs as we may not expect full support with patches :shifty:

[GoldenRivet]

my guesses

1. A new set of screen shots

2. A new video which will address the concerns of the realism crowd

3. A delay of some sort

4. a playable demo

guesses appear in order of most likely to least likely to happen

"Despite a number of highly successful titles, such as Assassin’s Creed 2 – which is expected to reach 9 million sell-in units by the end of March 2010Wow, it should sells around 9 million...

What was the target for SH4? Something around 300 000?

9 000 000 VS 300 000 ...Now I understand why they don't have sufficient fund to hire some beta testers. :hmmm:

[danurve]

I know what it is; free coffee for beta testers.

But not premium java, just some stuff they found from a turned over truck in burlap sacks.

this birdy told me so (http://www.myfourthirds.com/files/6587/Turkey.jpg)

[Gezoes]

I think it's a demo. I also like the guess about wolfpacks. That would rock the boat for sure. Delay and work on that by all means in that case :D

Aside from that, I think it will be postponed anyway a bit into 2010. It's just a bit too quick from announcement to release date.

Anything could happen frankly :hmmm: But this 'announcement' is something positive I'm sure.

Ofcourse, it could be just a couple of new screenshots, in wich case: :stare:

:03:

[TDK1044]

Personally, I'd love to see it bumped into Q3 or Q4 so that things like Wolfpacks would be possible at release. :)

I have it on good authority that in response to critcal comments from the Silent Hunter community concerning a lack of realism Ubisoft will now include a number of u-boat and ship scale models in the upcoming SH5 package.The models are correct in every detail and will allow hardcore gamers to play SH5 in the bath.

[JScones]

"Ubisoft today had great pleasure in announcing new exciting news for all shareholders. In response to limited interest in its latest arcade game, Silent Hunter V, Ubisoft has increased the price from $49.95 to $129.95!!!!

"A source from Ubisoft stated 'This is brilliant news for all players as it allows them to feel completely screwed, rather than just partially screwed as they would have felt parting with only $50'.

"Further, the extra revenue will ensure further development in the Silent Hunter series, with Silent Hunter 6, now exclusive to Nintendo DS Lite, firmly on our agenda for 2027."

"The advantage here being that the screen size is so small that the player won't notice that the propellers are turning in the wrong direction."

[oscar19681]

I definitly feel a delay coming our way. I can just feel it. Indeed i also think it has something to do with wolfpacks and/or other features that they want to implement. Well i was expecting this anyway. I just dont hope they will delay ion to Q3 .

You know, thats pretty funny :P

Unfortunately, you've pretty much summed up the direction that video gaming is going in the last paragraph... It appears we computer gamers are a dieing breed of gamers who enjoy a challenging, long, singleplayer game backed up by a solid multiplayer game instead of a short, mindless, button mashing boring multiplayer game with a 2.5hour single player campaign loaded with so much graphical overload that even the non-epilictic will develope epilepsy...

I smell delay or cancelation... hopefully just a delay...

:arrgh!:

[urfisch]

Big announcement...ok.

So, lets head for moe´s and have some more drinks...

[TarJak]

Maybe they'll tell us they are releasing the SDK with Silent Hunter 5!
:rotfl2:
Yeah for SH3!:03:

[THE_MASK]

My second guess for a big announcemnt would be that UBI are abandoning silent hunter after SH5 and there will be no patches because of sinking global financial crisis . Therefore the SDK will be released . SH5 will become available on XBOX .

[jerm138]

instead of a short, mindless, button mashing boring multiplayer game with a 2.5hour single player campaign loaded with so much graphical overload that even the non-epilictic will develope epilepsy

This is the feeling I got when I played Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (I guess that makes it part 6... or maybe part 4-2.. ?)

It was very obviously geared toward ADD kids. The designers were terrified that 0.2 seconds without balls-to-the-wall action would cause the ADD player to lose interest, so the result is a nonstop onslaught of THOUSANDS of enemies running at you without a second to take a breath. There is no surprise or anticipation because you're in "frantic mode" 100% of the time. It's basically a coner movie.

A release delay is not a big announcement, it´s a bad thing , so my guess is..

A release date for the VII playable sim , other subs follow in addons or community mods using the VII model interior and non playable 3d models of XI XIII, TII... ( too short time to make all boats playable) :nope:

The presence of wolfpacks in the atlantic. :up:

A port of the game for console users ( end of realism, mods, and Sh history)

yes, i agree. i do not understand the uprise of the consoles. i played console, when i was a kid. but since there where nice pcs, i only played games on pc. the possibilities of controls and modding are so much higher...that consoles are just for the quick fun. therefore i only play soccer on the xbox, cause it fits to a console. but a simulation on xbox??? lol. its like someone tries to sell tasty, cultured cooking products at mcdonalds!!! this is nonsense. many games do not suite on consoles...i wonder, when the DECIDERS will understand.

There is no surprise or anticipation because you're in "frantic mode" 100% of the time. It's basically a coner movie.

That was certainly what I was hinting at... I think the part that frustrates me the most though is that now PC games are just being ported from console to PC (MW2) or delayed out right for 3 months after the release of the console versions(Assasin's Creed 2). Considering the first AC felt like it was a direct port from the consoles I wont be surprised when the new one is the same.

MW2 had it's fun points, and the style of making the single player a constant non stop action movie is cool and all, but it took me 3 hours on Veteran to complete the SP section of the game... Thats really sad. I miss games like Halflife that took days, was challenging and thought provoking.

That is the entire reason I got hooked on SH3 ages ago. Granted, I played stock SH3, never completed a campaign (was too difficult when I was playing it in "arcade mode") When I found out SH4 had came out, I bought it ASAP and got into the mods and the realism. The alure of the SH series was the length and the thought provoking game play, not the graphics or the non stop action!

Anyway, I remain skeptical of a release date, but a delay of some sort or saying that the xbox 360 will see a version before us dieing PC gamers do...

I hope I'm wrong, truely!

Arf arf arf... That's my other dog impression.

ODDBALL:
"We see our role as essentially defensive in nature. While our armies are advancing so fast and everyone's knocking themselves out to be heroes, we are holding ourselves in reserve in case the Krauts mount a counteroffensive which threatens Paris...or maybe even New York. Then we can move in and stop them. But for 1.6 million dollars, we could become heroes for three days." :|\\

[Sgtmonkeynads]

This banter gives me an idea on how we can get information out of the Ubi guys..."We make them a Deal,deal !"

" Maybe the guy's a Republican. "Business is business," right?"

[IanC]

Well now I'm really wondering because don't we know all the 'big' stuff now? We know about the wolfpacks, about only Type VII, dynamic campaigns, MP, date of operations, the RPG element... what's left? :hmmm:

Playable Demo.

[Webster]

Playable Demo.


if they didnt plan on it i think they will rethink it


IMO they need a playable demo to help sell it since there is so much uncertainty about the game

[FIREWALL]

When's the Big Annoucement ? :p2: :rotfl2:

[longam]

SOON

[Westbroek]

Hate to dredge this back up but didn't want to start a new thread about it.
Perchance was the thrilling "Meet the (cheeseball) Crew" and the new website the Big Announcement that was heralded a month ago?
:06:
Kind of hoping there's something else to look forward to.

[GoldenRivet]

must have been the website going officially open from its sleep state of just having the trailer video to having the other information available.

I honestly dont know.

"You will start to see a lot of changes and openness as well as announcements beginning in the first week of February."

pretty much all i was told more or less. perhaps ubi will begin to open up about the finer points of the game over the next several days

:salute:

[Brag]

The big announcement was that you were going to be DRMed and OSPed. Big Daddy is waiting for you to connect your computer to infect it with his stuff :D

[Westbroek]

Thanks, GR. I've been wondering about that soothsaying you did for a while now. :DL

[McBeck]

There's an Ubisoft Marketing Team? :hmmm:
Yeah...I was stopped by that comment as well....I have heard of them, but never seen them. They are just like the 3rd gunman on the grassy knoll; You know they must exist, you have all the indication but no proff - but they still blow peoples head off...

Im hoping for a delay...so they can remove DRM. I wouldnt mind waiting for that :D

[CaptainHaplo]

The big announcement is that Ubisoft is scrapping the OSP style DRM, but that means they must have another way of making this work. So, instead of you having to connect to one of their servers, the cost of the game is going to be $11,278.00 (plus tax as applicable) because Ubi will come to your house with a dedicated box in which SH5 runs, you just connect it to you monitor or screen. Now this box comes with high explosives built in, so any attempt to open it to access the hardware or source code containd therein will result in your house being demolished. Still, Ubi comes around once a month to make sure everything is kosher.

This is all legal per the EULA of course. This approach solves all piracy as the pirates who attempt to steal SH5 are deaded and blasted into tiny bits.

The End

[Iron Budokan]

After reading that update on the 3rd fiscal quarter I expect a delay. And if things don't turn around for the company, possibly a cancellation. Although the latter seems unlikely since the game is so far along in development. But, meh, with UBI you never know.

My money is on delay.

[Seeadler]

the big announcement coming up next week:yawn:
look at: http://twitter.com/ubileak

I guess Ubisoft is entering the sports game market and is working on a FIFA Soccer Game, released just after the World Cup in autumn (of course, only playable online)
