Well whatever it is, lets let it go through a proper development phase...M'kay? :up:

hahaha! Crank for your life, Mister!

hrm... a "well-known subsim action game" Cripes it wouldn't be something waaaay out in left field like Subwar 2050?? No... that wouldn't meet the "well-known" criteria, methinks. :hmm:

The Sims: CSS Hunley

:lol:

Too early for SH5 if you ask me.

Mr Stevens...

Could you please give us a rough timeline for when you will be able to spill the juicy gossip please?

You know, 1 week, 1 month.... 1 HOUR!!!

;)

Elphaba

It must be a v2 because otherwise it wouldn't be called a 'sequel', now would it? :arrgh!:

Anyway, I'm too young a sailor to know all the previous sims so ... I'll just read all the titles you can come up with.

DAS Boot - the game !!! (SH5 - Kriegsmarine)!!!

No : underwater Doom 4, scuba Hruschov, Lincoln flotila,......Diving pericope ninja turtles!

Let us go the Kant method :)

Premises:

sequel = continuation. We can asume it had no continuation before this one, as there is no mention to a saga or franchise

well-known = widely known. No obscure, low selling game

action = not strictly sim

veteran dev-team = experienced, already long time in the business.

Deductions:

1) Submarine games with no sequel:

iron wolves
silent steel
wolf pack
ssn-21 seawolf
clancy's ssn
Uboat & Drumbeat (MAC)

(Note: AOD had Command Aces of the Deep as sequel, and Enigma is unlikely to be completed, plus had a Gold edition)

2) Submarine action games with no sequel

iron wolves
uboat & drumbeat
wolf pack
ssn-21 seawolf
clancy's ssn

3) Well known Submarine action games with no sequel

iron wolves
wolf pack
ssn-21 seawolf
clancy's ssn

4) Well known Submarine action games with no sequel and active veteran dev team

wolf pack

------------------------------------------------------------

My bet: Wolf Pack sequel. Was discussed already some time ago, before SH2 appeared. Novalogic is currently owned by .... Electronic Arts :hmm: and has the money for it.

Additional notes:

Iron Wolves is currently having a sequel in Deep Six, already known in these forums.

Vivendi (Sierra owner) has repeatedly showed no interest in an AOD sequel (I know this first hand)

Submarine action.....:hmm:
Up Periscope 2, by Actionsoft!

:o

...well if that ain't what Neal was planning on announcing you may have just influenced him to modify it!

The best action submarine game I played was "Schleichfahrt"
http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/image...CL._AA240_.jpg
the indirect successors "Aquanox/AquanoxII" never reached the flair and the gameplay dynamics of Schleichfahrt

No the new subsim, for me, is Captain Nemo vs Giant Squid armed with the torpedo LONG LANCE...:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I was hoping for Destroyer Command II....:)

Meh. I am happy (for the most part) with SH3 and SH4 for now. It is way too early for another WW2 submarine game, unless it is as the Japanese ... I would be WAY more interested in Destroyer Command 2, and be able to command battleships and cruisers as well as the destroyers. I could do a cold war era game, but after SH3 and SH4, I am getting all sub-simmed out. I think it has been way to long since we had a great surface combat sim. The best one yet was Fighting Steel, and that is now an older game that won't run on several of the newer graphics cards ...

This would be nice ^^^ . Welcome to SUBSIM :up: by the way.


RDP

I think I would like that as well.

That's my guess
 

Well, of course it is Gato 2 with 16 colors EGA graphics :D

You know, I'd actually like to play a game like that! :hmm:

Me too!

I am almost certain it's gonna be the sequel to ERT. East spilled the beans in another thread, some time ago ..
