We know the first part; Neal Stevens. The speculation is over why.

Putting the pieces together its quite obvious that SCS is planning a new game based on some navy sponsored project. The same as DW was.
Wether its going to be a successor to DW, or a totally new thing who knows.
I just hope they make it compatibile with xp and they throw out the window the 10-15 year old graphics engine since at this point its really anachronistic, and maybe concentrate only on 2d stations. 2d art can be very compelling, moreso with the right enviroment (audio, etc...).

But you still need 3D when looking from the conning tower or from periscope

New engine! No not an improved one but a completely new one pls.

Better yet, let them license an off-the-shelf one (instead of self-developed) and focus on the core simulation. More time for patches.

Always. Neal always knows something that we don't. That's why he's the man.

What does this mean ? You think I'm on the wrong track ?
Consider this, before the new section was made visible, we had someone from SCS asking informally what we would like to see in a hypothetical new game.
Then we have the news that SCS has received 17 million dollars for a new software project, and finally we have the new section (albeit closed for the moment). Putting 2+2 together makes 4.
Who knows, maybe SCS will go the SH 5 route with a game thats 100% arcade, no more flank speed thank you very much but super speed and other things like that. No more sonar, but an underwater radar as you see in crimson tide.
Its either this or an announcement that they've closed shop, sold all assets to Ubisoft and a new SH 6 The Cold War is coming for the ps 3 and xbox 360.

No, no. All it means is that I was being superstitious in saying that if we say it is something that we want, it won't end up being something that we want.

If Sonalysts made a new game... maybe we get an mysterious placeholder in the forums and Neal let us wait and wait and wait until he shows us that this was just a joke?

How much time is possible it will be bought empty promise or unrealizable dreams?

SCS - dead.

Three guys from SCS could not make decent game.

And never can make it further.

This conversation proceeds many years.

However even of a normal patch was not issued.

It speaks that SCS is dead. Is really dead.

In time - to collect money on obelus for SCS [Sonalysts].

They are more - not developers of games.

Regards.

NOTE: Even mine the grandfather is younger, them software... o-xo xo...
