I joked about an Xbox version at one point... but I highly doubt it. Xbox isn't considered part of the simulation market.

Also, the devs have said they won't we implementing native voice comms because there was no such communication between attacking subs.

I certainly read somewhere, not on this forum about the console consideration.
Also if you note how they designed the movement around the submarine in SH3, it smacks of console consideration to me, why else do we have to jump to stations around the sub? I think it would be fairly easy to port to 360, and oh the comfort of kicking back on the leather couch with a wireless controller - really dudes its the future for sure, I am another one of those ex pc gamers loving the ease of console after years of pc heartache (and some fun i might add) Silent hunter is the only game I really play on pc.

It wouldnt suprise me if MS arent planning a secret purchase of the dev team! in there search to make the 360 reach as broad as possible, id certainly want this game on my money making creation..............

so the adversarial mode is defo 2 players?

[Boris]

If the Micrsoft purchases the dev team there will be a riot! No bloody way will I accept SH5 being noob-box exclusive!

I think adversarial mode is up to 4 players

These comments make me think about the games broader apeal also, and the route that ubi want to take SH in the future.

"Ubisoft says they want SH4 to appeal to the serious subsim skipper and casual gamer and with "Hollywood Blockbuster" graphics, SH4 should get the attention of the guy strolling through a Wal-Mart with some fishing lures and a sixpack. "One of the aims of the game is to present it like a movie," said Dan. "A historical movie where even the menus are inspired by films such as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers"

I can see console giving ubi a hood wink here lets face it most gamers on this forum arent running high end rigs for gaming anymore, the likely future for sh is console without a doubt, pc gaming has become soooo much more expensive. And the last 30 somethings and more gamers are spending less and less on pc hardware, and more on the 360 or ps3 (and massive TVs!) it is easier and cheaper for us - not to mention more money and less hassle for the developers.
To best the experience of my 360 currently, I would need a 40" monitor running a high end expensive pc at a stupidly high resolution........my pockets would be empty and I wouldnt be any more immersed gaming wise than I am already.
I would go and get SH4 on 360 like a shot £40, no ****ty starforce, and I can play wireless talk to my buddies and drink some red wine at the same time

gosh i have ranted on a bit havent i..........

I still don't see it.

And PCs haven't gotten more expensive. A new computer costs just as much now as a new computer 5 or 10 years ago. Nothing has changed.

[AJ!]

only prob with a 360 version is there arnt enough buttons for all the commands

"And PCs haven't gotten more expensive. A new computer costs just as much now as a new computer 5 or 10 years ago. Nothing has changed"

The thing thats changed today, is this..............

PC's are getting cheaper and cheaper I agree - however gaming on a pc has gone in the other direction...... you need two gfx cards or more ........... you need dual cores or more................. in order to game "properly" on the pc these days, and compare gaming to my 360 and 40" screen etc you need to spend over £3k to gain the same experience. its these spenders that drive the development of games, and these guyz and gals only have a certain amount of cash, I purchased one 40" sony bravia this year, and I cant see me buying another huge screen to watch the pc stutter on.............................

Most games today still aren't threaded and most still don't take advantage of SLI/Crossfire configs, so you usually end up seeing an insignificant gain performance wise with the latter, and on the odd occasion you'l get a slight performance hit with the former.

And game prices are half, perhaps a 1/3, of what they were 10/15 years ago.

RE: modding.................

IF you think that modding isnt possible on the consoles think again, xbox live arcade? lots of developers now with the tools its only the beggining.
Remember unreal 2004 the king of modifications?
