Well, in that case, I'm willing to go to 1000%.

Automatic updates, one click to support forums, recommend (or warnings) to/from friends.
If I get a choice, I go for Steam .. no boxes, no discs for me please.
Paper manual for sim game would be nice, yeah .. but in age of iPads and similar devices I can live even without that.

Oh I enjoy steam too but I still have to have disc. Internet is not that fast plus I love to see what I buy you know the box, the thin manual and the fanciful cover.

Not sure where you would buy them in your country though.

Thanks TLAM I'll check it out

Nah the water is too advanced to be a Sonalyst game

April Fools is still the most likely answer. I don't trust Neal one bit on this one. The 2 posts in there indicate it can be downloaded, will have a faq, and an introduction is to come. But they are nothing but placeholders. Why bother with that if there is nothing to say yet. Just teasing us, that's what it is.

Maybe Sonalysts decided to release one of their games for free.
I hope it´s not it.

[Takeda Shingen]

Neal's getting us all excited again.

If Sonalysts was to make a new modern sim, what game should it be like:

1. Fleet Command (many vehicles no stations)
2. Dangerous Waters (one vehicle multiple stations)
3. Other (name a game it should be like)

Also please give 1 new feature that the game must have. Here is example:

The new game should be like DW, with the feature to be able to walk around the ship/sub and see/communicate with crew members.

If Sonalyst wants to compete in the commercial gaming market they need to update their graphics. I'm sure eye candy will drive sales for the non-casual players. Just don't screw it up like that SH5 train wreck - too much emphasis on GFX not much on the overall simulation. Maybe even add the the ability to model 3D interiors for the subs(just the control room) and let the modders take care of it! It'll add wonders to the immersion factor.

Like somebody said before, I'd also pay just for DW with updated graphics!

But wait .. Neal asked about new game from SCS .. and he create new section on the forum. But who said it's related in any way ?
