Wow. Adding tons of expansion packs to the original copy of SSe when they come. Cool. No wonder they took off the 2010 to make it go on forever :) And a whole lot of new features Frank said, like the watercannons. RPA, has these water cannons. Great interview.

I have to say that this interview has really inspired confidence. Frank came over very well and has enthusiasm.

It's a shame that it wasn't formally announced as an interview on the forum.

It definately sounded very encouraging indeed.

Return of the Titan ship. (Titanic)
Hopefully Belfast can be in SSE, and Queenstown Ireland and Cherbourg France. So a real life Titanic mission can be played, and the ablety of leaving the map into another map like many maps connected together.

Well, that's not really new, but I appreciate that very much too. We have had those missions in a storyline in SS06 as well as in SS08 and I like those more than stand alone ones. :thumbs:

True, I thought that.. BUT atleast he said they see what we would like in the game and that they listen to us.. But atleast there will be Dover and Calais in the same environment..

The leap from 08 to SSE is clearly going to be much greater than from 06 to 08.

Notice that Frank didn't really go into that much detail about content, save for a general variety of themes... But it is interesting to hear of a longer term committment to SSE, instead of considering it a stepping stone to, say SSE2 in 2011...

I think this means they're now happy with the game engine and methodology of delivering the sim. If sales go well, I wouldn't be surprised to see add ons becoming available at a more 'progressive' rate than with 08...

They're going to opposite way to most developers- EVolution rather than REVolution... Well done to them on that decision.

That was an excellent interview, I agree with Stu about the leap from 08 to Extremes going to bigger than 06 to 08, going to be a really excellent game! :)

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't count chickens- regardless of their hatched status...

Angus pursuaded Vstep to be allowed to announce it... It has also been confirmed by Dr T since.

I like the difficulty levels...will be a great feature also he mentioned that it will be much more interactive in the pilothouse  :)

It was in the Christmas Special where Frank did an interview for it:

5. With ShipSim Extremes on the horizon, do you have any hints as to what the future holds?

Last question already, I thought you’d never ask... Without resorting to the usual marketing mumbo jumbo, I can honestly say that what you are going to be seeing in Ship Simulator Extremes will be some of the most spectacular ocean and ship visuals ever produced. Ship Sim 2008 looked good, Ship Sim Extremes will look incredible. Combine this with new vessels, new environments, a new mission and campaign structure and plenty of other improvements based on community feedback, and you’ve got a game our core simulator audience will love to play.
That’s our goal, and the team is working full steam ahead to realize this.

Could be that I mist something before, but

Has anyone noticed the change of releasedate / periode ?  :o

On the German forum today:

Dieses interview hat grade im Augustus 2009 auf der GamesCom stạttgefunden und einige sachen sind nicht mehr aktuell.

Z.B. der releasedate ist schon einzige zeit Q2 2010 und nicht Q1.

Warum Gamereactor jetzt dieses interview publiziert unt nicht fruher ist mir nicht bekannt.

V.G.

Frank

Wich means: Releasedate is 2nd quarter of the year 2010, for quite some time !  :doh:

Never heard that mentioned before / until now !  ;D

vr. gr. / kind regards, Erik

Post by: mvsmith on January 05, 2010, 15:06:24
Hi Erik,
A release date of “April 2010” was given by some sources a while ago, but many sources still say Q1. If it is Early April, then the release has not slipped by much.
It is to be expected that the date will slip because, as anyone who has been involved in software development should know, you never know when it will be finished until you are done.
Regards,
Marty

Hello Marty,

It is not that I´m suprised, seeing that message confirming the expected delay.

I was just wondering if anyone noticed it to be the first official anouncement, about it !

Old enough to know that the best products are those, that got the attention that is needed .

Patient enough to wait for the result, but just happy that they are telling us themselves, what´s up.

vr. gr. / kind regards, Erik

I cant get to view the video , it stops after about 10 seconds :doh:

A bit off topic here , but I am going to mention this as this topic is quite active:-

Can the admins not send an e mail to all members linking the thread in the e mail and "also" mention that the multiplayer online is still going strong?

TThis could pull some of the oldere skippers out of the closet !!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Sorry, no, seeing as some people don't want emails from the forum all the time...

know we need a offical reales date.
(amozon is wrong :thumbdown:)
NOT Q1,Q2,Q3 OR Q4
Title: Re: New Ship Sim Extremes Interview!
Post by: Shipaddict on January 10, 2010, 20:47:03
In all fairness to VSTEP, they've given dates before and on those dates when nothing came a lot of people got angry about it, and VSTEP were only making sure what we got was of good quality, so I don't blame them for only saying Q1 etc.

All we need is patience, SSE will come when it comes. :)
