Yeah, and what is Ubisoft going to do ?
Go back and forth between the atlantic and pacific theaters for the next 10 iterations of the Silent Hunter series ?
I have no problem with WW2 sims. I just think that fossilizing on this historical period is a waste of time, since many sims (not counting SH I/II/III/IV and V) have already tackled this period. There is only so much you can do to milk the same exact product. I bet SH V will sell nowhere near what SH III sold and why is that ? Because you get the exact same simulation (albeit with some prettier graphics, less playable uboats and a 50% reduction in the dynamic campaign). As I said time for Ubisoft to explore new concepts.
- Destroyer Command redux maybe ?
- Cold War scenarios with fictional dynamic campaigns a la Falcon 4 ?
- Study sim for a specific sub a la Sierra Fast Attack
- etc....
The possibilities are endless.
