What will become of the Silent Hunter Series? - Page 5

After seeing UBI's strategy and goals for the Splinter Cell series, the Far Cry series, the Rainbow 6 series, etc... I forsee the downfall of the Silent Hunter series.

UBI seems to be mainly catering to "console style" gamers for the quick $$ and steady sales. This has caused several of their long standing series titles to become straight-up console ports with little or no modability. Limited or repetitive gamestyle,etc..

At least SH5 isn't a FPS and the hope that modders can get their hands on most of the uncrypted files to mod keeps my hope up. They are incorporating some of the ideas from these boards and others so this is a good thing.

From personal experience with UBI's past tiltles and their tech support, if this game don't sell big, I expect to see one or two patches and then on to the next project. Hype sells games, especially to simmers and modders such as ourselves that don't have alot of sub type sims to pick and choose from.

Anyway my 2cents, hope I'm wrong.....
