SHO Silent Hunter 6 - What to expect

I decided to create this post so that everyone could leave their expectations for a new game in the series, mainly signaling what should be changed in relation to Silent Hunter 5.

Regards to all!!

Welcome aboard.

The likelyhood of there being a Silent Hunter six is low. If there was, the likelyhood of it following the downward trend is high. Since SH3 each new version has required more attention from modders just to make it work. It doesn't look good.

IMHO I don't think a SH6 would be worth bothering with for Ubisoft or any other publisher for that matter, unless it can be made as good as SH3/GWX as the stock game. I can't imagine Ubisoft would go to that level, after what they chucked out with SH5. If you ask me Ubisoft cocked up on this fifth game in the series. The only real improvement was better graphics and the ability to roam the boat and interact with the crew. If it wasn't for the mod guys on here, we wouldn't have what we have now, with SH5. So I think that improving on SH5 to the playable standards of SH3/GWX would be acceptable by 80% of us. So why should we want a SH6. I just wish Ubisoft had made SH5 and kept it more like SH3 with the improved graphics and the ability to free roam etc, instead of making it more like an arcade game.

Once upon a time, there was a game called Silent Hunter, derived from an earlier game called Silent Service. The game was focused on the USN Submarine Service in the Pacific. It was a good game for its time, thoughtfully researched, thoroughly tested, and very atmospheric. (Nothing says WW2 like Lucky Strike Green!) Then came SH2 for the U-boat crowd, followed by SH3. Then Ubisoft tried to put an American flag on a U-boat and sell SH4 with as little change from SH3 as they thought they could get away with. Thanks to the hard work of many modders, SH4 can now be played without too many jarring anomalies and malapropisms getting in the way. But, for atmosphere, it doesn't measure up to the original.

What I would like to see is a state-of-the-art ground-up remake of the original Silent Hunter. Get people who actually know something about the USN, the Pacific Theater, and US culture to design the game. Get a good development team to implement it. Test it so it will work reliably. That's a game I would pay good money for. "Cause it certainly hasn't been done.

Anybody with me?

im sure you missed seeing it because it wasnt on the front page but i dont think we need a new thread to rehash everything all over again since this topic was discussed until people just stopped having anything to say about it anymore.

if you look here you will see that this dead horse (sh 6) has already been beaten into infinity

Sorry, Webster, I haven't been around the forum that long. Didn't realize we were replowing the ground.

I was referring to the thread, not at anyone directly but by all means

edit: if you guys want to continue the talking about a wish list for a game that's not going to be made then that's ok too, that's what these forums are for is to talk and discuss the game.

I would like an SH6 combinating this:

- Gameplay and boats diversity of SH3
- Game stability without bugs of SH4
- Graphics and the mouving through submarine of SH5

Well in fact an SH6 made by all the talented modders here! No more Ubisoft team.

Now that would be awesome!

But I guess we're dreaming...

There are many really good wave mods made by sober, and, if I'm not mistaken, by many others. So pick and choose.

Better wave motion, ship skins, realistic crew voices, GUI (SH3 class) and better Atlantic campaign!

Silent Hunter 6 - What to expect by tscosta1
Expect nothing as it's 99.9% certain it will never happen. But I guess it is good to dream.

If UBI decides they will make it and put it out to the masses, I for one will never buy it. Nor any other broken game or simulation made by UBI.

Default Why Silent Hunter 6? Better to create addons for SH5

Why Silent Hunter 6? I think that SH5 is an awesome game. Why not addons for SH5 more types and campaigns of German submarines, boats as well as other nationalities, create addons for campaigns of British, Russian, Italian, American, Japanese and other submarines. Buffin

Default Nope

I think we've pretty much seen the last of any significant simulation.

Sadly, games are changing to reflect the society; brainless fluff aimed at the lowest common denominator.

Just kick out the latest zombie shooter and rake in the cash; that seems to be the new model.
