didn't you notice "Silent Hunter 5: Surf's Up"?

MONOLITH · 05-23-07, 11:35 AM

Oh, thank god there's still 'Rayman'.

I think sub simmers are screwed. We better make the most of SH4.

Just go here and see what a group of on-line Developers have achieved.

They couldnt do any better than modders we have now. They cant access the hardcoded parts without SDK, and no, UBI wont be giving it away.

It looks like the future of sub sims may be with on-line Devs working in conjunction with dedicated sub sim fans who get to test the game in development. With no 'suits' to please, and therefore no corners to cut, the end result has to be better than we've seen.

This could be interesting.

TDK1044,

You hit the nail on the head, it could be the way of the future. Enough customers get together with enough $$ and it can be done. Look at Steel Beast 2 PE.

I do believe this is the way of the future, particularly for a niche market like naval sims, turn based strategy, and similar products. The bad news is that things take a good deal longer to develop and typically have more bugs at initial release (due to limited budget for testing), the good news is that the developers typically stick with the product, even after it's commercial life has dwindled to squash bugs (often with community help).

ex. Matrix Games just released a patch for a turn based strategy game "Uncommon Valor" that was initially released several years ago!

Is that me, or the latest screenshots from v0.2.0 look even better than SH4?

Paajtor · 05-23-07, 02:25 PM

They look fantastic.

The only thing I miss, is a decent shot of some bow-spray...wonder how that looks.

GT182 · 05-23-07, 02:40 PM

:hmm: It looks better than SH4 I'd say. They look to be doing their subsim the right way.

Yes and it's been in development for how many years?

I recall looking at it when I got fed up with SH2 but it was nowhere near complete then.
