Whats next.
Well to start off guys I was pretty happy to hear another Silent Hunter was coming out. But then I read that interview with the developers and that all left. I've been playing the SH series for...decades. I owned the original silent hunter. As non exciting as the graphics were in that game I was pretty much addicted to it from the start. Then they came out with SHII and I was even more excited. Graphics were enhanced and the game play changed a bit. SHIII came out and it was the same. Game play changed a bit and graphics enhanced. This past Christmas I bought SHIV. At first I never really wanted to buy it. To be honest I promised myself when it came out that I would never support any game UBI released. I played it and I must say that its not half bad. Its really just SHIII with better graphics which if you guys look at the series is basically what they did with the games, added better graphics to an already good game play mod. They did remove a number of things that I found nice about the other games but thats fine. Yes it isn't the best, but it can be modified and altered and really changed to fit what you want. (at least some of it can anyway)

So you asked whats next. SHV is next. A game that pretty much takes everything that we know from the Silent Hunter series and throws it out the window. First off not everyone likes tpye VII's. I personally prefer type IIs as they are great for port raiding and are hard as hell to find. So only having one choice in subs. Really? Secondly, just because the u-boat erea "ended" in May 1943 according to people doesn't actually meanit ended. The war if I'm not mistaken ended May of 1945. Thats two years, TWO, in which I don't know you could sink a couple of more ships and attempt to live through hell. I'm sure the surviving U-boat guys didn't really have the choice of ending their careers in 1943. (although many of them didn't have much of a choice. RIP). I personally I find what they have done as blasphemy. They took something that was good and changed it completely so that they can gain a more broad audiance. Business wise that's great but in the process you loose people like me who LOVE sub simulators.

So whats next. Whats next is me working on my 76' Datsun 280z and playing SHIII + GWX on my free time. I'm not going to buy SH5 unless they change it back to what all the other Silent Hunter games were. Unless they bring back all the uboats to choose from and all the other great things that I've come to love about Silent Hunter then forget it. I'm not spending $ on crap.

Sorry for the rant guys but I had to get it off my chest.
Sorry
Jan

Apart from deficiencies

but the OSP-theme is the main issue which prevents people even from buying it!
what use there will be to talk about a game we have (nearly) no info about (apart from screen-shots and a 2min-vid in-game)??

What's next? I have no earthly idea.

But there's this funny feeling in my gut another shoe is yet to be dropped....

first you purchase a wireless credit card scanner along with the game.

when you want to play the game, you run your credit card through and you get a one time key to log on to ubi servers.

you will be billed 50 cents a minute US dollars for every minute of game time including game pauses due to server errors.

loading up a saved game or new game saves cost $1 and each additional save after that costs $2 more.

every time you want to play the game you must repeat the process

I'll be seeing those SH5 giftcards at the Wal-Mart checkout isles.
5$ good for 5 gallons of fuel for your U-Boat.
10$ good for 5 gallons of fuel or 1/2 ammo storage refill
20$ good for 1943 [ Months of January to July only all other extra]

Well, we had the left jab with the single U-boat and 1943 end; the right hook with the DRM, so I'm guessing it's a right boot to the rib cage.

No. it´s a dynamic campaign based in single missions and scripts.

Mission successful load mission 1
Mission failed load mission 2

1943 boss level , sunk 15-20 ships and you won the war
