SHV may be a flop because no one cares anymore

When I can play more than just a Type VII sub, I'll express a greater interest in SH5. It seems like a fine title, with a lot of promise, but the previous two games offer much more variety at the moment. I would buy an expansion pack in a heartbeat if it included more subs. Still, when I feel like a little Type VII action, it's nice to have SH5 at the ready.

Ugh another zombie thread.
The only other subs you might get apart from type VII will be modded ones. No expansion, no silent hunter 6, no more silent hunter anything from UBI (ever again probably)

Yeah, that's kind of a given. It's a shame that the DRM scheme had to debut with SH5 and Assassin's Creed II. It may very well be that they've destroyed their SH franchise no matter how good SH5 may be.

The DRM is only part of SHVs problems, also it tried to pander to the causal gamer by heading in a new direction, alienating many fans of the previous games - this might have been fogivable/workable had the game actually been finished. Still, thanks to the work of modders, V is alot better now.

But, I just cant see UBI giving the SH Franchise another reboot in maybe 5 years or so... I just dont think they will bother with it again now.

I just hope that someone else will pick up the ball, eventually or that the SDK gets released. (Won't hold my breath on that last one.)

I love it when someone objects to a statement made over a year-and-a-half earlier. My comments from back then could easily be taken the wrong way now, especially since most of my complaints back then have been fixed. Arguing about this now makes no sense, at least to me.
