Cancelled, hopefully. Time to let some other dev have a crack at subsims.

Ya know, sadly, after 5. I think the sh series should stop...

Its called overdoing... abit like movies... 1st is pretty good, but if they drag it on too long, just goes to hell...

Yea it would s*** to have a bunch of people take SH5 and Mod it into the best damn sub sim ever made.

Square-Enix for all I care. They couldn't make a worse job of it than Ubisoft.

If Ubi does not get rid of the DRMS of doom. Ubi is doomed.

All you need to do is look at what is going on in the forum. Massive protest.
Two individuals. yes , all of two post supporting DRM/OSP.

Pathetic, don't you think?

Who cares? They say, the world will end in 2012. And after seing latest update from UBI, I'm starting to believe it.

some of these responses are depressing! Unfortunately Im hoping the gaming industry in general doesnt go the way of the "WII"... as in seeing the profit in dumbed down casual games...Im a sim junkie(fsx-lomac-sh4-dcs blackshark etc) and it worries me with the cost of developing these games that sims will be shelved in favor of more guitar hero crap....

don't take it too serious.
in the end it's just something you've wanted to get in the beginning to enjoy it totally. didn't happen. at 15y I experienced the same with my first girl-friend.
so it can get only better.

Crap. I just played another 2 hrs straight of ROF. Why wont this game cut out? I'm so PISSED AT THIS GAME, it keeps working.

Pathetic, don't you think?

@Meo --- yes, Danger From the Deep IS under active development, albeit slowly perhaps. I was just on their (developers) IRC channel yesterday (#dangerdeep at freenode) and they were there, discussing this and that, and directed me where to download the current alpha, and to ignore the 0.3.0.0 version ... of course, I couldn't get it to run, and they said it was probably due to my older vid card (ATI Radeon X700) ... if we were to encourage them a bit more, perhaps it would get somewhere faster. Heck, I'd be willing to pay them for their efforts if it turns out as good as it looks/sounds. They're talking about actual control of ballast valves and suchnot, wow!! Hopefully dive planes and dive angle as well ... we'll see.

Since I'm not allowed to call people retarded anymore I'm going to subtly suggest that you presenting a personal anecdote as any sort of evidence is indicative of developmental disability, possibly stemming from blunt trauma to the skull at an early age.

Hmm, I'm not that sure.

My ''theory'' (this is only a ''theory'', I don't claim to have a certainty on these things)
is that the gaming market is largely influenced by our modern way of life.

i.e. Today everything has to be quick. Quick dinner, quick training, quick entertaining... and so on.

So deep simulations with an important learning curve are no longer attractive (except for a minority, in which I am included).

Although I'm not sure, I think Ubisoft understood that and this is what Dan met when he said in the interview (the video interview) that you don't have to read 10 books on German U-boat to play the game.

I'm afraid we will have to rely on the modding community to get those games a much more deeper content.
