Realistic release date

TDK1044 · 07-30-06, 09:17 AM

Hi Guys,

Looking at how early SH1V is into development, and assuming that the DEVS are going to properly BETA Test the game this time, I think that March/April 2007 is a much more realistic release date than Q4 2006. I for one would rather wait an extra 3 months and know that the game is right, rather than have the game rushed into production which is what I think happened with SH111. Do we have a list of the DEVS working on the game?

This whole game is shrouded in mystery right now. There are no screenshots, no videos and very little info has been released. Judging from all these I doubt it's even in the alpha stage. A Q4 2006 release would indeed be unrealistic.

I agree with your assesment. Even allowing for the fact that they're going to modify the existing SH111 engine, there's still a very long way to go.

The rumour is that SHIV will officially be announce next month. And then we probably also have some more reliable news on the planned release date.

But I personally think Q4 2006 is not going to happen. Even the SubSim news page over at http://www.subsim.com/nucleus/index.php?blogid=4 list Q1 2007

I haven't met anyone yet who thinks Q4 2006 will be the release date, where did you get that info ? Afaik know that has been published last year and no one repeated it ever since.

Q4 2006 is indeed outdated information it appears. Let's hope that Q1 2007 is realistic.

Yep. Q1 2007 is fine with me. That will give me some time so safe up money for a new computer

Dec 2006 is unrealistic, and Dec 2007 would make the design duration of the game too expensive in terms of production costs. My guess would be May 2007.

The release date might be tomorow of next year for all we know.There's not even a screenshot of the new game,and all talk about what the dev team has done or not done is mainly speculation.I would say that a release date in early-middle 2007 is pretty realistic,but who knows,they might work hard and maybe release it this year in december or something (but then the dev's might be rushed to finnish,and we may have an unfinished game again,so the longer they work probably the better for us )
