UbiSoft should make a modern naval sim...

[LoBlo]

Okiedokie...

...So what modern naval combat sims are out there for gamers to play. DW is obviously there and Harpoon 3 has been available for a while (are their any other I'm missing?) However has either of these two games really given the player what they really crave, a game with it all... one with the great graphics, the great platforms, physics and a brillant AI that can surprise the player? DW has made some groundbreaking gameplay and a great sonar model and Harpoon is a very deep game, but many would say that they have not achieved the quality possible in todays gaming capabilities.

That being the case, it seems like its going to take the initiatvie of one of the larger and more experienced game developers to produce the modern naval combat sim that we all crave. UbiSoft has already made a great WWII naval game in SHIII, perhaps it would be the best canidate for producing a game on SHIII caliber, but with modern weapons and platforms. I'ld love to see a modern navy sim with SHII graphics and physics. All it would need is to take the graphics and physics it has created for SHIII, employ a more sophificated sonar and radar model, and create modern platforms and weapons for us to play and it could quiet possibly make one a modern navy sim that everyone has dreamed about.

So... I've put a post on the UbiSoft forums petitioning for them to create a SHIII-ish game but with modern naval units, tatics, and weapons. If you feel the same stop by and post your support.

If you want a complex and high-realism naval sim-game that offers wet Unreal-action with chess-strategy-AI and DW-complexity, combined with Total War-presentation and the multitude of units from SCX and Harpoon - then Ubisoft and other large companies probably are the last ones you want to ask. And you probably ask for too much at the same time anyway.

Nope, I'm asking for SHIII with modern units and weapons and a good physics model. Actually it would probably be less complex and hard to produce than a good flight simulator.

I agree. But if you're looking for a modern naval sim, DW is totally incredible and available. When you upgrade it with LWAMI, it gets even better.

Well we can debate the adjectives describing DW all day long. But I don't know of any other sim that offers the ability to simulate naval platforms above, on, or below the surface in one sim. Other sims/games have great eye-candy, but don't pack in as much in one sim as DW does. Some of us believe that that earns it an "Incredible" label.
