Confirmed - No Japanese Subs in SHIV

AG124 · 12-29-06, 01:05 PM

In the daily questions on the official SHIII site, one of the SHIV dev team members has confirmed that there will not be any Japanese submarines in the 'release version' of the game. This appears to be the final word on it.

However, I wonder why he specified 'release version.' :hmm: Was he talking about future mods, or an expansion pack?

that's bad news indeed.
I hope we can fix it with mods (if SHIV is more moddable than SHIII of course):
Look at this:
Q: VikingGrandad: Is SH4 being developed in such a way that it will be even more open to community modding than SH3 is?
A: Definitely. We've took a hard look at what the community has modded on the game, plus stuff that we wanted to be moddable ourselves. Whatever we could improve, we did, and we won't stop here.

Wow, those last two responses weren't there when I posted that link. It must have been updated, and a happy update it is indeed.

Hopefully, there won't be as much hardcoded data this time.

I must chime in and say I'm disapointed about this. Oh, I'm still gonna get the game, no problem there. But, yeah....kind of a bummer not having Japanese subs.

Would have added some intresting new missions if you had the J class. like sail to Panama Canal and launch seaplanes to destroy it. Would have been fun. Oh well, we could always mod it.....

Lame!! Strip away the graphics and GWX will probably be the better game. guess I can remove my sig now.

I Cant believe the romanians cant manage to program a submarine, when just about every other naval sim ever released has managed to do it - no problem.
