It's just the blockbuster titles that get pushed back really, just because they want the spotlight to themselfs.

Yeah I dont think SHV is in too much danger of this.
Publishers nomally pull this stunt to avoid competition between either their own titles, or between there own and those of a rival. (where their is conflict of intreast - e.g. 2 major FPS titles released weeks or days apart)
In the case of SHV its a pretty unique genre these days.
I would guess that Silent hunters lack of competition plays a significant part towards its own success.

I also heard that sims titles in general sell quite steadily over a long period time - for the above reason.

If we got a fully modeled interior of the sub (which, while I'm sure looks pretty cool, adds absolutely nothing to gameplay) and no wolfpacks (which would add tremendously to gameplay)...I think that would be a huge oversight and a very severe case of misplaced priorities. SH4 made the mistake of placing eye candy over gameplay (heck, you can even take it a step further to say it made the mistake of placing eye candy over having a working game) and I'd hate to see the same mistake repeated with SH5.

It's so integral to the Battle of the Atlantic that not having wolfpacks in a U-boat game is like not having a Type VII submarine in the game.

In the ideal world you'd have both (thinking about why can't we have both?), but i'd rather add to the gameplay than bother about the eye candy as well. SH3 wasn't an ugly game, and the chance to call in a wolfpack on an unsuspecting convoy would be lots and lots of fun as opposed to having wonderful sea textures etc etc. Regardless of what we end up with we're all still gonna pre order it and be engrossed in it when it comes out!

As far as I'm concerned SHV HAS Wolfpacks in it until someone can prove otherwise.

I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this thread is too small to contain.

SteamWake · 09-23-09, 10:33 AM

Just a thought and in the spirit of this thread.

I thought to myself while playing SH4 Hrm ... I spend 90% of my time looking at the 2D map.

Im already able to wander the sub a bit with camera changes by mods but dont really use it much.

While it will be very cool to be able to amble about the subs interior and such... most likely 90% of play time will be spend looking at the map.

Oh, another tidbit: ships will have snow and icecicles in arctic climes.

Great !

Hope U-Boote will show some weathering too.

Don't want to appear too insistent

... But will we see falling snow in this 5th episode of SH ?
