Future of SH 5

Hinrich Schwab · 12-11-11, 12:32 PM

With Dan's departure from Ubisoft, does this mean that all official support for SH5, including patches has ceased?

Myxale · 12-11-11, 12:46 PM

There was almost none official Support for this game.
And whatever there was, was not worth being called Support!

Hinrich Schwab · 12-11-11, 04:42 PM

Not surprising. I had to ask.

Arclight · 12-11-11, 04:43 PM

Support ceased shortly after release. Just a quick patch to add or fix a few things and it was dropped.

Ubi took quite a lashing for the state of the game and the DRM. Don't think they thought it had much of a future.

Yup. There hasn't been support from Ubi for a long, long time. We are looking at the final version.

Hinrich Schwab · 12-11-11, 07:15 PM

"...final" version?

Sounds like they jumped ship because of the volume of negative reviews. With Dan leaving Ubisoft, I can only assume that the franchise is dead and if we want another submarine simulation, the community will have to band together, create its own dev company and publish it. There are enough mod developers here to try it.

BTW Takeda, shouldn't your avatar be Shingen himself rather than Nobunaga?

As crazy as that sounds it makes sense

Maybe. I just assumed that it was a random samurai. This avatar was a gift from Neal when I took a sabatical from moderating; his way of saying 'thank you'. I respect him for all that he does for us and the naval simulation community at large, and so I am proud to wear it regardless of who it may or may not be. Besides, I think it looks cool.
