Silent Hunter is dead. Ubi has neither the desire nor the ability to produce another in the series that won't be laughed off the planet. They've lost their mojo for good on this one...

Sorry Stiebler but that is about right, you are ignoring things as middleware licensing fees, in-house development is rare these days.

Also you are paying the team uneven salaries, the license fees for all the programs you need to create content (3D Max, Photoshop, etc ...), the water and power bills, etc ... that all goes to the game cost.

Also the article was about AAA titles as MGS, GTA and the like that have very large budgets, Wing Commander IV (1995) had a cost of USD$12 million, even if most cost was for the live action FMV that were done on sets intead of blue screen, today games cost millions ... even SH5.

Since you have made your very first post at SubSim in order to contradict me, I must assume that you know what you are talking about. I stand corrected.

Presumably you work for a games development company. Would you like to tell us which one?

Welcome aboard, by the way!

Interest aside...

Intentions aside...

Would anybody here, having experienced SH5, seriously consider giving this company any more of your hard earned money?

I remember playing both of them but in cassette form on the C64 IIRC....I did have an Amiga as well though

If they made SH6 a real simulator then it would be nice... especially if you could have like 100+ people to man the subs on multiplayer

so we started of as a captain and now we become sonar men, torpedo men gunners etc?
we will all be fighting telling the captain what to do, and there will be like a billion mutinies
however, hundreds of subs and thousands of ships(1 player each) with a real dynamic war like falcon 4.0 would be great

Could you imagine it? Submerged and under imminent depth charging:

SONAR: Contact now steady, bearing 1-3-5. Getting louder! He's making his approach!

Captain: Ahead two thirds. Make your depth 1-9-0 meters.

Diving officer: It might be better if we just bottomed the boat.

Captain: 1-9-0 meters.

IWO: No, we need to go silent!

2WO: And turn into the ship's path.

Helmsman: You mean perpendicular to the path. I'm turning now.

Captain: I didn't order that!

2WO: No, I mean into the path, noob!

Chief: Go to flank. We need to get out of the path.

Helmsman: No way. I agree with the IWO. Going silent.

Captain: What? I said two-thirds!

Diving officer: I think we should still bottom the boat.

SONAR: Splashes! Here come the charges!

IWO: Rig for silent!

Chief: No! Ahead flank!

Seaman, 3rd class: surfiss and uze deckgun lolz

Captain: Shut up.

Torpedo room (through voicepipe): We've all been talking it over and think that you should turn to present a smaller target profile.

2WO: Dude, that's what I've been saying!

Torpedo room (again, through voicepipe): No, you were saying something else, spazz.

Captain: Shut up!!! Why aren't we diving?!?!?!

Planesman: Sorry. I was checking Facebook. What's going on now?

*Explosions* *Flooding* *Sinking* *Darkness*

Cook: Captain, wanna try my soup?
