Death of SHIII? - Page 2

I think the most awaited mod will be the ability to playSH3 in the Pacific theatre as well with all the multitude of subs/ships of either.

Now that would be just perfect

AVGWarhawk · 02-12-07, 12:46 PM

SH3 will not disappear. Heck a lot still play SH2!!!. SH3 is in a whole world by itself. If you want a taste of the Atlantic, SH3(with GWX) is the game! If you hunger for the Pacific, SH4(hopefully)will be the ticket. I will purchase SH4. I just hope out of the box it plays up to what SH3 is now with GWX. We will see. I will be playing both. It is all depending on what salinity of water I want to taste for the day!!! Atlantic or Pacific? Let me taste water and see which one I want to play in today

Eagle Eye · 02-13-07, 02:20 AM

I've only been paying a little over a month so it'll be awhile before I try SH4.

I'll eventually get into it though. First sub game I ever played was Silent Service 2 which is in the Pacific.

f16falcon · 02-13-07, 05:32 PM

Im sure it will be great, but prefer atlantic to pacific. So SH3 for me, unless it can be combined.

Von Taticus · 02-11-07, 12:43 PM

SH4 Seems more to me as a Super Mod than a new package.

Most of the things I would have liked to have seen (more compartments and improved damage model not are there, in fact they are being cut back "simplified" is the term used.

The mods made to SH3 by the fantastic mod teams would appear to be better that the SH4 proposed spec. IMHO

I love the atlantic, So I shall stay with SH3 and forget any rushed out super mod
by UBisoft.

I'll still be battling in NYGM 2.4

I'll wait for a better Altantic sim, if it ever occurs.

I will have both installed in my hard disk. well 10 gb could be enough, because i stored all mods in cds for security. or buy a new hd.

But Sh3 is reaching the top in modding so a lot of modders could move to sh4.
A dream could be put sh3 with the SH4 engine, but perhaps impossible or very difficult :hmm: GWXX ?? :rotfl:

Even after Ubisoft had:

a. Released any/all expansions for SH4 (obviously pure speculation on expansions)

b. Built an entirely new engine from the ground up for SH? (assuming the franchise continues)

I still think you'd have next to zero prospect of ever seeing a SDK released for SH4.

Takeda Shingen · 02-11-07, 05:27 PM

I'll be 'transfering' to SHIV. After nearly six years, I am kind of burnt out on the Atlantic.

Warmonger · 02-11-07, 01:04 PM

SH3 will definitely stay on my HD because, as others already said, I find the Atlantic scenario way more interesting than the Pacific one.

But being a sub maniac I will give SH4 a try (after the first super mods

),

hyperion2206 · 02-11-07, 01:08 PM

I will get rid of SH3 as soon as SH4 is in my hand. Even with GWX I've grown tired of the Atlantic.

High Voltage · 02-11-07, 01:12 PM

GWX is still relatively new to me and I know the message boards will be filled with bugs and complaints the first few months of SH4's release. Ubi will probably have to release a patch or two and I just don't want to get discouraged too early, so I'm going to leave it to others to wrinkle out the mistakes, and only then will I be willing to join the hunt!

I agree. Like Neal said, don't underestimate the 'atmosphere' that compartments such as the Radio/Sonar/Captain's Bed compartment adds to the game. I really love that part! I would like to have at least seen a Torpedo Room compartment added, instead they are being cut back. And I too would have also expected to see improved damage modeling.

But I will of course watch and see what people have to say about the new version after it's released before making a real decision on whether I would consider it a worthy successor and/or buy it.

Torplexed · 02-11-07, 01:45 PM

Well....I think as we can see SH3 will still be alive and well after the release of SH4. Now if they would just release an Destroyer Command 2. I wouldn't mind trying the Atlantic from a different angle again as a escort or destroyer captain. Hopefully, they'll have all nationalities this time and not just the USN.

I think modeling all interior compartments would be out in that one. Surface ships have too many. Just give me a bridge.
