The only thing keeping me from going bats is SHIII and the Subsim Almanac. I'm almost finished with the read. :)

Wow, SH2, that is when I joined this community, looking for news for the replacement for my beloved SH1 that got me through graduate school.

That was a wait, boy, I about gave up on that game. How many deadlines came and went on that one? It had really come to a point where I thought that SH1 would be it. Of course, I wasn't in the know like Neal was.

It scares me to hear about the Computer Sim market drying up. I am not a console guy, and don't like arcade games much.

I sure do hope that this game makes some good money for UBI. Hopefully with support the EAs, the UBIs, and the Microsofts will figure out there are a market for these.

Thanks to our Romanian friends for the guts in doing this, and to Neal, for giving us a place to hang out.

Neal,
SUBSIM is the number one Sub site on the net. Thanks to all that serve there.:up: :up: :up:

From those Subsim's that have came before to those that are yet to come, here is too all that were, are or will be part of the Subsim family.... http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/clap.gif

Lets here it for the Romanians!!!!!! Thank You All

PS. Ping Jockey, Where is AZ. are you located? Close to Tucson?

To silent hunter 4!

And to 5, with any luck.

Here's to Silent Hunter IV, hoping to be the best of the best, the waiting is finally almost over...HAIL the Dev team!!

Shame EB up here won't get it until the 23rd.

Great post and thread!


I am another one of those who have been waiting for a Pacific campaign for quite some time. No disrepect intended on anyone, but every since first "cutting my teeth" on the orginal Silent Hunter....I've been dying to hit those seas again.

I'm patiently (ok...not so patiently) waiting for my own copy to arrive and I can't hold back my own enthusiasm. I'm not an often poster here, but I do try and read quite a bit from the wealth of knowledge and information.

Time to break out the bubbly, soon we will all set sail again!

Great post Neal! Here's to SHIV and our return to the Pacific Theatre! Good luck and good hunting to all of our virtual skippers out there!

4 days and counting! :yep:

One minute of silence for the grandfather of SH4: The unique Silent Service II:yep: . My expectations for SH4 are very high because of that game. Nevertheless SH4 is already a great success as SH3 and its wonderfull mods!:sunny: :up:

Thanks everyone for spreading the love amongst the subsim fans of this world. I hope SH4 lives up to our collective high-expectations, especially since the bar was set so high by SH3 GWX et al, but from what I've seen so far I'm confident it's gonna blow us all away! By-the-way, are there gonna be icebergs in this one?

Congrats Dev team. And to you to Neal!:up: I've been an unknown lurker of the deep around here since SHII, and you have done a great job with SUBSIM.com and to help keep the community going with sub facts, humor, pics, and mods!! Hats off to you!! :sunny:

Nice story Neal. I remember some upbeat in your 'tone of voice' when SH-2 & SH-3 were about te be released, but not too much of it now! Better that the community expectations are not too high so we have still room for the 'Vista-WOW!'. I'm looking forward to it!

Thanks for sharing your soul Neal ... I love the real thing, but I'm too old to go anymore. I have lived and breathed diesel boats, boomers, Mare Island, Newport News, Groton, Conn, Adak Alaska to Rota Spain.

Sub sims just help it all come back alive for me ... I love them.

The Pacific Ocean in the middle of WWII must have been a beautiful, but terrifying experience. Silent Hunter 4's new feature that lets you hit replay and start over again from the point in time (right before you made a mistake) sure would have come in handy in WWII, uh?

Silent Hunter IV is likened to a woman that we all get to share ... :lol:

I'm going to have a real good time with mine ... :yep:

Cheers
 

Good post, Neal.

I especially enjoyed reading the historic recap as I didn't get involved with sub sims until SH3. Nonetheless, here's to raising a glass of champagne for a global toast to all the imminent SH4 maiden voyages.

Cheers!
