Haha, well, I'm not happy about everything, either. I just try to keep an open mind until I actually play the game. Still, I am wondering if this trend of unflattering surprises will continue.

but what the heck everytime man ,,get excited than poof bad news sick of that HEY UBI just give us a great sim period you started one with sh3 now finish it

Yeah, well, we will always have SH3. If SH5 rocks our world, we win. If it tanks, we can hope Ubisoft Romania will design the next edition of Silent Hunter to be a continuation of the traditional U-boat sim.

His post makes me wonder too.

Neal, i am ranting, in your Virtual Saloon that Suibsim is, so please let me offer you a beer, as i cannot dso more for you than tell you that i appreciate the fact thet YOU enable ME to Voice my Opinion.

*beer*

Back to the Question...
I do not know. and little do i care. I am dissapointed, and have no more interest in the Future of the Silent hunter series. >maybe it ll come back in a few years.
Gimme GWX or LSHIII...

Thanks for the beer, mate, and the wildness of these pre-release discussions is traditonal. If you remember before SH2, it was totally crazy!

Neal, i only came aboard after SHIII...
This place, as a Online Lounge to chill out on, speak aboutt my Sub simming dreams, is a difficult place atm, but none the less appreciated.

So what happens down the pipe if UBISoft is sold?

One would think that any new owners would also own the rights to UBISoft's stable but would not stand to generate any income from the SH5 server without resorting to new fees. It's unlikely that there would be a continued requirement to support a "legacy" product.

UBISoft states that they will issue some sort of patch but if sold they might not have the legal right to do so as the game(s) may no longer belong to them.

I think this, more than any transient connection problems, represents the biggest issue with the always must be on-line DRM.

No doubt it will be playable off line. Some games check for updates then load. Others don't.

Is there an "off-line" option?
No. The added services to the game (unlimited installs, online storage of saved games and the fact that you don’t need the game disc to play) require you to have an online connection while playing the game

What's next?

I cut the cost of my planned PC upgrade in half and buy an XBOX 360.
Continue learning C# and XNA and build my own damn sub game. BTW, anyone got any VIIC Milkshape models laying around?
