I've done some digging, and this does indeed appear to be real (unfortunately). Though it's definitely not a Silent Hunter game.

Yes indeed here is Gamespot's preview Inteesting to note that it comes from Artech who developed the original "Das Boot" arcadey PC subsim many moons ago! Take a look at the titles they have developed over the years right back to the C64 era great to see they have survived this long and still have the same guys at the top

Lol....it's not an April Fools? Really? Superb!
To Paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke: "I don't know what format Silent Hunter 6 will be on, but Silent Hunter 7 will be a console exclusive." PS: Am I the only one who likes the crappy green font? I think it's ace. |
