Silent Hunter 6: Wolves of the Pacific

mfykes · 01-25-10, 04:27 PM

Then, MIGHT we expect an updated version of Wolves of the Pacific in the near future?

Isnt it a wee bit early to think about this?

Judging by the responses for SH5 perhaps not!

Are you that eager to go through all of this "New SH5 game coming out" hand wringing and back biting again?

Heh...we've seen how people act when a new Silent Hunter ATO game is announced...do we want to revisit all of this again when a PTO Silent Hunter game is announced?

"ZOMG! The Japanese ASW is SOOO NOT REALISTIC!"

"I SEE 35 SAILORS ON THE DECK OF THE YAMATO, NOT 47!"

etc etc.

Let's wait for the first "SH5 class action lawsuit" thread before asking for the PTO

Nah, we'll already know what to expect. They'll take SH5, convert it to Gato boats, break half the functionality, and sell it as SH6. Then we just get to wonder what won't work right.

And download the first patch before we even get the game delivered.

Especially when we haven't yet lived through the "SH5 released bitching" and "SH5 mod wars bitching" phases. Let's enjoy those first before we start the "SH6 development bitching" phase.

Responses to what though? no ones actually played it yet

It must have been pretty obvious to the devs that the 1943 & VII only thing was gonna incite a riot here anyway.

I don´t think that it would be possible now

but could be a porpoise class submarine simulator with a campaign starting in 1943 to 1945 or a 1941 to 1943

i´m not very optimist now

kapitan_zur_see · 01-25-10, 06:31 PM

How would I know...

The last PTO game made, was 14 years ago with SH1. Going by the existing pattern of release (1996 and 2007), we'll have to wait at least another 11 years before we see another PTO game.

QFT.

Sure glad I saved my SHIII map just in case a map does not come with the regular game. A printed out map will not be as big and the 20# paper stock on the printed version is nowhere as good as the BIG glossy SHIII boxed map.

Being a Boy Scout many years ago may still pay off...........Be Prepared.

An open-game.

By "open" I mean :

a graphic engine

And EVERYTHING touching configuration in text files. Everything.

Every variable, every value and everything that is fed to the graphic engine (graphics, sounds, texts, textures) should be in the game folder in easily editable formats : text files for every variable used by the game engine and every graphic in standard PNG format, every sound in Ogg-Vorbis format.

They could sell new versions of the game to offer a better graphic engine and such, while everything being open it will give the game a huge possibilty of tweaking to the level of F16 Falcon.

The same concept as good Unix operating systems like OpenBSD. The configuration is all kept in one place (etc folder) and in text format.
So we could tweak each variable used and fed by the graphic and game engine.
