Sub sim game on the Xbox 360 in June

Can't wait to see if it sells more copies than SH5! After all even if an action sub game, it's still an obscure theme for a game. Maybe we should hope for good sales so others start to take a look at making sub games in general.

If it sells more than SH5, then you can bet the next SH game will include cool new features such as health packs and laser guided torpedoes.

I hope the thing flops.

wasd + space bar = SH5 for xbox 360.

The beginning of the end.

Looks fun in an Ace Combat with Subs sort of way. Too bad I don't have a 360.

Hmm...
SH5 seems to be less than good without plenty of mods, and I own an X-Box 360...

Time to wait and see if Ubisoft (and/or modders) can get SH5 more shipshape before June 15, or if I will have to look to that alternative source for a new sub game experience, and then stick with SH3&4 for working sub sim of choice.

At least its not Warship Gunner 2, which has (some) sub combat. It has health packs, but skips the laser guided torpedoes for laser guided... lasers...

and torpedo spam... and spamming of torpedo spam....

Hopefully, the SH series will never go that route... sure, one type of game might lean a little toward another, but I can agree things can just go horribly wrong when you take one type of game and make it fit into another type and don't do things right. (like mixing an FPS with a section that is poorly done stealth game where failure means instant loss, or an action game where your army slaying super soldier is defeated by a 5ft fall of a poorly tossed in platform jumping section...)

Isn't Warship Gunner a korean game though set in an alternate reality where aliens are fought with big animefied battleships?

If anything this game reminds me of Sub Culture, which was a good game, and Steel Tide which I never played.

In fact, I'd say it looks exactly like Steel Tide. Probably done by the same people. It also looks crappy for a 360 game so my guess is it's an XBLA release.

It looks exactly like SH5! Even down to the American VIIBs!
