I didn't consider it a necro because the member who brought it back did so specifically to ask if there was any new information. He didn't respond to an old post, and he asked a fair question. Necro value is zero, and you should lose points for bringing it up. Hinrich Swab, on the other hand, turned it into a necro by answering an old post as if it was yesterday, so I get points for pointing it out. Get the point? :O:

Necropost deleted.

I have learned in life and in game development, Never say Never....

i have seen series reborn to great success, titles resurrected, dead horses brought back to glorious life and there is every chance with the continual advances in both computing and game engines to see a full on surface, air and sub surface sim in the Silent Hunter theme..... someday not too far off

in the meantime there are two excellent SH 4 mods to watch, the Japanese Campaign, there has never been one before on any platform in any sim....and the Wolves of the Kaiser the amazing mod coming to life also for SH 4, and the mod work on SH V is spectacular and very good....so there is plenty of life in the lady yet....

Never say Never...i will look foward to SH 6

Don't forget that just because I whine about something doesn't mean I'm right. I'm not the boss here, and I sometimes just get cranky in my old age. I don't want to drive anybody away or cause trouble. Now that I've said my piece it looks like it's time for me to apologize. Again. Third time today.

I'm sorry I took such a hard stance. :oops:

Nothing to apologize for. I neglected to look at the date of the post. It is that simple. :)

But as i said it is a worthy thread as such thought and speculation is the heart beat of future hopes and dreams.

I reckon, we should put our heads together and make our own Silent Hunter 6, just change the name so UbiSoft doesn't sue... What does everyone think?

Looking at all of the great Kickstarter projects popping up it makes me wish there was at least one dedicated to our hobby. :nope:

I'm already backing the Shadowrun Returns project, if someone wanted to do Silent Hunter 6 / Super Cool Sub game that has nothing to do with SH series(and it wasnt Ubi) I would back that as well

Go ahead. When you raise enough money to hire all the coders, programmers, art directors, testers, etc. and then get them to all work together on schedule and under budget and then get the project published, we'll all be behind you 100%. Heck, I'll even buy two copies. :woot:

Now I have an answer for the $450 Million thread!
:rotfl2:

I'll buy THREE!...

...unless of course it does not meet my exact and demanding criteria of what a 100% realistic submarine simulationtm should be. In that case, not only will I buy NONE!, but I will denounce your project on every forum as a bug ridden "ARCADE" excuse of a game!..

...and gamers wonder why developpers avoid simulations like the plague. :doh:

I've just decided to invest in a different market

:damn:

I would enjoy having a silent hunter 6 ... if it is made properly and actually runs through a testphase. But I guess it wont happen with Ubisoft .. hopefully another publisher will get this franchise to a new or former glory.

I agree 100% :)
