cant believe it...negative sounds from the grandfather of subsim community...this is frightening. same as the facts do to me...

but...guys. face the reality. ubi tries to reach the great masses with some kind of "interactive movie play". sit and relax on your sofa, while shootin at some ships. thats fun for the whole familiy.

nice.

but nothing for us. which is not wondering me any more. but i cant get over the cheekieness, some developers have, to make us hope, in getting a good subsim.

there must be a great amount of surprises, to make this true.

I can easily understand if the company tells us if we want the level of detail and realism we ask for we should not expect it to come in a single package that includes all platforms and to expect to pay for each additional platform added to the sim. In many ways I think this would take some of the pressure off from the penny pinchers and really let the devs run with the ball for a change.

Maybe this is where it's heading. Of course this is not a "one size fits all" solution for every type of sim out there but for subs it seems like a good idea. And I'm not saying it would have to be one platform at a time either. It could be for a group or something like that. In essence, an upgrade or add-on but at a more detailed level.

Books have been sold in chapters...why not sims?

I'm pretty dissapointed with the latest news and like Neal, would simply ask... What's next?

johan_d · 01-26-10, 04:41 PM

GWX4 ?

Combat Mission: Normandy from Battlefront.

Not the official name but will be out soon!

The General · 01-26-10, 04:44 PM

What we really need is a little competition from another software house in this niche market. Without it, it's difficult for Ubisoft's marketing men (and some members of this Community) to gain any perspective.

... Silent Hunter 5 looked so sweet and sexy, untill we noticed the adam's apple.

tonyj · 01-26-10, 04:49 PM

silent hunter turns into a platform like FSX and then commercial subs/addons/scenery by 3rd parties are developed and sold.

On the plus side, though, they did throw in some wire for free. You just have to look for it.
