Release date too soon?

AJ! · 08-23-09, 11:59 AM

Hi all

Is it just me or is the early 2010 release date for SHV too close for them to really beef up the SH franchise and add lots more content to the Atlantic theatre.

If they started development of SHV just after SHIV that would make sense givin that this game would have been in development for over 2 years which is the minimum time a game of this scale would need.

I know its too early to judge from the screen shots but it looks like all we are getting is SH3 on SH4s engine..... just with more bugs and glitches

Forgive me for my pessimistic views so far but i remember too well how dissapointing SH4 was. i know alot of people enjoy it now but for me SH4 didnt touch SH3. also the graphics engine was hit and miss.

Here's hoping i'm wrong

Good news: This game will be NOT published at Christmas, so the designers have more time to found and delete SH5 bugs

It is not too clase: "early 2010" means summer? ...and game will be published on 2010 E3 expo...

If published screenshots of SH5 are really screenshots it means that graphic is finished and engine is finished. Now designers work with details: add new units, create campaign, looking for stability, bugs etc.

My total wild guess is it will be delayed to put in features that we've been bitchin' about for the past couple days, one big feature in particular.

They have already worked on SH5 in 2008.

In March, Ubisoft's fiscal year ends. SH3 was released in late March, SH4 also, probably the same with SH5.

At the last Subsim meet in October 2008, Dan from Ubisoft Romania hinted that SH5 was in the works. We tried to ply him with alcohol, and when that didn't work, we resorted to begging to get him to tell us what the theatre was, but he wouldn't budge.

My guess is that they've been working on this for quite a while.

I'll probably do what I've always done: play it from day one, start a career, say "Oh, an new patch", dump my career and start a new one, say "Ooh, cool new mod!", dump that career and start a new one, say "Oh, another new patch", dump that...and four years later I'm once again starting a new career in SH3, without ever having finished a single one.

But I'm having fun.

Ubisoft really needs to take their time, if we buy SH5 and it was rushed..it will be a doomsday. I am really tired of playing rushed games, aren't even finished, never will be..so short and easy with all the great graphics. We need something we WANT to put time into and enjoy it!

Sounds very familiar...

Me too. For me the war ended not later than 1942. And it wasn´t because my sub went to the basement...

My prediction: Somewhere between summer and holiday 2010.

I believe that SH5 will be released at the end of March 2010. I believe that it will ultimately be a fantastic game, but at release it will be playable, unfinished and requiring at least 3 patches.

It was that way with SH3 and SH4, and I don't see any reason to believe that SH5 will be any different.

With this series, you must invest in the end result knowing that the end result is typically 6 to 9 months and 3 or 4 patches after the release of the game.

This is often a bone of contention within the forum, and much screaming and shouting goes on. Know now that the game will be released in March 2010 and finished (fully patched) by December 2010. That's the way it always is with this publisher.

I'm buying the game in March, loading it onto my computer and then waiting nine months to fully patch and mod it in one hit.
