[dooom]

Very interesting... I can't figure out if it is high fidelity or not....

We'll have to wait and see, I suppose. I won't be giving them my email address in advance though.

Whether you're engaging the enemy, escorting friendly vessels or spying in stealth mode, you command an authentic submarine on the front line of action. Make secret attack plans. Strike with precision. Escape into the ocean depths.

 

Screw silent running, guys, the subs in this war has a stealth mode. :bye:

 

I wonder what other modes they have.

Can they morph into a ROBOT?

[asparagin]

Making "secret attack plans" sounds cool..

I always find the words "inspired by" to be a warning!;)

 

inspired by the highly-acclaimed submarine simulation series

I'm happy to see the series hasn't died.

it's a browser based f2p mmo. the screenshots already show 1999 level graphics.

Based off of the last Silent Hunter game, for once, I feel about the same pessimism you do.

 

At the same time, I hold out hope that maybe they learned their lesson with SHV.

 

When they say a dynamic campaign, it better truly be dynamic. The last two I played (SH3and SH4) had a campaign claimed to be dynamic, but it wasn't. Just a giant world with tons and tons of pre-scripted convoys and ships. It was nice to play around in, but in the end, your actions in the world meant nothing.

 

No, if the Germans really start massacring merchant shipping, Britain needs to weaken, and if it continues, they need to surrender. Enough of this historical crap, you can't have a historical dynamic campaign, the two are mutually exclusive concepts.

basically world of submarines.

SH4 was pretty good...once you replaced most of the files.:P

[statrekmike]

This is pretty sad, I cut my teeth on Submarine sims before I ever got into anything that flies, I have enjoyed SH3 (with the GWX mod), SH4 (with trigger maru) and even the widely hated SH5 with the addition of more than a few mods.

 

I guess I feel like this browser game is just a kick in the jewels after they all but dropped the franchise after SH5's problematic release, you would think they would have even a modicum of respect for the fans that have thus far enjoyed the franchise.

 

I honestly hope this thing fails, I would rather the Silent Hunter franchise be dead than end up like this pathetic tripe.

ubisoft has taken every respectable franchise and turned it into garbage. just under the tom clancy banner there's ghost recon, rainbow six, and splinter cell.

[Toxe]

This is a really disappointing development. Shame on Ubisoft.

There's a 'Guild' tab in the control room on the lower left of that screenshot posted above. Instant, immediate, go-straight-to-fail-do-not-collect-$200 epic fail.

Looking fwd to silent hunter online. Loved SH 1-4 5 was a let down.

[MadMonkey]

sh3 + GWX3gold was awsome..& played it to death with tons of addons

sh4 + uboat missions + opmonsun kept me occupied for almost a year

sh5 disappointed me with the entire too arcade ish feeling & sadly left the game collecting dust
