I'm not even sure if you're joking

Lol....it's not an April Fools? Really? Superb!

To Paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke: "I don't know what format Silent Hunter 6 will be on, but Silent Hunter 7 will be a console exclusive."

PS: Am I the only one who likes the crappy green font? I think it's ace.

A lot of posters were hoping a new developper would produce a subsim to compete with Ubisoft. There you go: "Naval Assault: The Killing Time". DRM free also...enjoy..

p.s. goood one ZeInfidel.

I would like this to be a good cross or arcade and realism a bit like the Battlestation's games but it looks pure arcade. American type VII subs in the Atlantic and surface skimming torps don't exactly fill me with confidence.

505 games did bring the pretty good IL2 Sturmovik to the Xbox last year. The problem was multiplayer was pretty broken and they refused to patch it. For that reason I could not see me buying another game published by 505 games anyway.

The patch for the XBox was produced, but as you say 505 games decided not to send it to M$. Very annoying, as the PS3 did get that patch equivalent.

Thus a 'no sale' from me as well.

LOL,the Eurogamer screenshots are awesome. Like the Type VII Conning Tower with American Flag, and the surface-swimming torpedo.
