They should release a patch now, and make pretty damn sure that no other patch is needed.

Uhm....the patch to end all patches ? :rotfl:

Strategy First Signs Dangerous Waters

Montreal, Canada. September 15, 2005. Software publisher Strategy First, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Silverstar Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSTR), and Sonalysts, Inc. are thrilled to announce the signing of the realistic naval simulation “S.C.S - Dangerous Waters™.� This all encompassing naval simulator will be available at all major retail outlets before 2006.

I hope they will release the game with the full paper documentation and not the pdf only for cost reduction.

Wishes are the whores of invention. :lol:

So no maximus patch but possibly an announcement about a retail deal ?

SS may wish to see more funds flow before satisfying the requirements of the pickier realist hard core (Self included)

The game is very playable as it stands for the wider gamer market.

I hope that I'm wrong ! :hmm:

:ping: :rotfl: Just as I typed.....................................believe me. :rotfl:

Just reading that post by Neal, I can't believe I missed “Disney’s Aladdin Chess Adventures,� what the fudge am I doing playing DW? :rotfl:

I think you're right on that one.
Maybe that means we will finally see the patch before december 2005 ? Hopefully. :rock:

I am curious how this leaves SCS's tie up with Battlefront.com?

Will they still be the publisher for on-line sales or have they ben left behind by SCS?

Curious to how this is....

I have an idea and an opinion about this but will post it later when I have more time.

I think Battlefront will remain the publisher for the online version.
I doubt the retail version will ship with the full printed manual, it will also most probably include some kind of copy-protection so the 2 markets don't really mix.
Retail for wide visibility and general gamers, online version for "naval hardcore" gamers.
Retail copies sold = more money = patch :) and then DWX :) :)

If Combat Mission is any indication, when BFC published with CDV they retained the rights to all online sales, CDV is retail only.

I would imagine its the same with DW. BFC is still considered their primary publisher, I would imagine, with the retail company providing only logistical support for distribution.

That having been said, BFC is very much on top of their software and is in a position with the 800lbs gorilla CM to dictate terms to their publisher, I'm not sure SCS is in as good a position with DW, however, that's where we can help! ;) :arrgh!:

Who are BFC? who is CDV.

I don't get it. I personally think BF didn't do that great a job.

My 2 cents.

They should offer both versions with and without manual.

Belive it or not some people will be put off by the huge manual. Then again others will drool... ohhh look a REAL manual !

Im glad to see (or guess in this case) that it will be put into retail channels. The ONLY reason I ever even heard of this game was from browsing the sub sim forums.

BattleFront Community=BFC (we use that rather than BF in CM circles)

CDV=retail software publisher

The official announcement is on the splash page of Subsim.com now.

Stratigy First ? Trying to remember what other titles they have produced.
