The question is simple: "Any news about SSE, VSTEP?"
I mean that without any new infos about SSE the forum is dying due to informational hunger.
No, I'm not asking about the release date or the system requirements. Who cares about those here anyway now?
All we had is a trailer, a year old screenshots, Greenpeace ships, different interviews about one & the same & after a year - again screenshots showing mostly what we've already seen. Anything new? Like a new environment, ship list, some new features?
All nice comments as well as hate comments against me & mods giving me warnings or sarcasming around - everything's welcome.
*Marty, Traddles: I'm neither whining nor trolling, Ok?
-
I agree with you WM. I understand they are very busy with the development of Nautis, SSE and their other projects, but some more information would be much appreciated.
-
I agree, where is that new website that was mentionned in the newsletter which was supposed to be out a few weeks ago ?
-
http://newsletters.vstep.nl/newsletters/shipsim_extended_v2/26/
If you look at the bottom it clearly says "Keep a close eye out as we will reveal much more info on Shipsim.com very soon. The Shipsim.com site will get a new Ship Simulator Extremes look at the end of this month"
And that email was sent out on the 16th of April !
-
So in four days a whole month will have passed... :-\
-
Pretty much, to be fair , they did say the end of the month ... so its only half a month late ...
-
That is true...
But it has been months since it was 'confirmed' that we had DCitSE, and since then no mention of it anywhere... no pics, no mention in any interview...

Thank you for bringing this up! :)

I think even one screenshot of DCITSE with its ferries arriving/departing, SR.N4 & Incat racing across the channel & Saipem 7000 slowly sailing through it would be enough to keep us alive if only till the end of summer.

Naahh, don't make VSTEP open the birthday present that we all are waiting for. It's like removing the paper and reveal what is inside before the day arrive. ;)
I mean, if 6th June is the "big day", it is just 24 days left. Imagine how fast those days will go.
And when the package is released, that's the point where potential customers and new players will take their final decision, buy it or not. And in the same time we will see YouTube-movies from the first buyers, screenshots from the first buyers, and the content inside is revealed for all :)
So, time will show... ;D

Where? Who said that? Or is it just rumors?
They said June in their last interview with game reactor, so give me your source unless you are joking as a drunken rat! :P

I'm sure you may be frustrated as an intoxicated rodent that the release date keeps getting pushed forward,

Nope nothing... :-\

The Esperanza screenshot is over a year old now. Although i'm pretty exciting about the other screenshots - they bring nothing new to the table. If im right, the info shown on the other screenshots, is released at the same time as the Esperanza screenshot.
I am sure that you agree that bombarding Frank's PM box with the same question in all varieties possible isn't that much of a good idea right?
-
Agree with you i think Frank are reading this topics to, so if he have news it will be published

Totally agree. Only new vessel - trawler - can be recognised on them as "new ship".
I am sure that you agree that bombarding Frank's PM box with the same question in all varieties possible isn't that much of a good idea right?
Totally agree.
Me: "Hello, Frank. I'm wondering, will there be a floating crane, SR.N4, Incat, new AHTS in SSE? Thanks. :)"
Frank thinking: "Yesterday someone was asking about including Olympic, Britannic, QM2, QE2, Oasis, etc. & now this! Ugggghhhh"
Frank writing: "You'll have to wait & see. ;)"
^ Yep, my question will be answered.

Hi All
To me there are two choices
1 moan on the forum about there being no updates or news
2 take the bull by the horns and do something about it asking in a nice way by enough members
will let them know there members are out here hungry for news /waiting to buy.
Yes they are very busy but without the support of you guys there would not be extremes
Eric
Just my thoughts !:) !:)
There has to be a comedien
I said ask for news not ask for every ship crane floating barge ferry cruise ship in the universe
-
Moaning? As WM clearly stated in the openingspost, this topic isn't for moaning, whining nor trolling. We are not some bunch of onepostwonders crying about a missing rivet on the Titanic's hull. I cant seem to recall the last time that any member posted in this topic, the so called 'hardcore players', moaned about anything. Don't get grumpy because someone just busted your arguments.

This mentions, quite clearly, Q3 as intended release date. Q3 is July, August & September. Since Paradox are the actual publishers, not just selling agents, then I tend to believe what they say. Take your pick, you could be right or wrong three times over. :angel: When I was young it was always stressed to me that patience was a virtue. ::)
-
Angus, we're not about the actual release date or system requirements or anything among that.
The point is that there should be something new from VSTEP, like revealing a new environment, ship list, new screenshots that show something new, than what we have already seen. Something to keep the community alive till the game release (if it'll be ever released).
*Marty, I'm not whining/moaning/trolling.

Guys, the RSS of the site is working fine.
I am in, for news, or just a screenshot ;D
-

*Marty, I'm not whining/moaning/trolling.
So far as I know, no decision to cancel Extremes is under active consideration at this time, despite any rumors you may have dredged up.
-
Yeah I can confirm that the RSS doesn't work. Might not mean anything at all though?
But I don't mind waiting a little bit for SSE it's ok. But one thing I think VSTEP could do is just release not an official demo. But one mission on a new boat that we havent seen yet in a brand new environment we havent seen yet, maybe :thumbs: then its not giving the whole game away.
Only if it was a really short mission I know it would rock! :2thumbs:
But well done VSTEP looking good so far!

Because Extremes is a different program from SS08, no mission from Extremes could be played in SS08, nor could any new environment be displayed.
Any live demonstration would have to wait until Extremes is working.

Good news: VSTEP are still estimating a release date in August.

That's good, more chances that the game will be out on 24th of September.

Here is from this weeks download pack
This 27th pack marks the conclusion of more than six months of free download packs and improvements for Ship Simulator 2008. The coming weeks will see the introduction of a revamped Shipsim.com website, featuring all info related to the upcoming Ship Simulator Extremes game. The site will host many new community features, information about the exciting new game, as well as the option to pre-order Ship Simulator Extremes, so you can be among the first to try it out when it is released in August 2010.
Keep watching your newsletters or www.shipsim.com

Yay my birthdays in august :evil:

So much for the shipyard add-ons until the game is released... :doh:
August...
I can't wait that long...

I only say this the next time VSTEP say nothing until the game is not complete development. and have two years of delays and now this is unbearable. >:( Seems to play with us. instead of being called Ship Simulator 2010
is called the game (which never came).

where do you have that from? maybe a god thing to follow watt be say on www.shipsim.com that are the safety place to get info about the new SSE

Ferryman, don't bother... Lets go back to development of our Ferry Simulator Extremes. You know, we must release it before SSE comes out, so that we'll divert all their costumers to play our simulator.

VSTEP have never given a definite release date, only estimates based on the scope of the project as it was then understood. Anyone who has been involved in a software development project of that size understands that it is not possible to know when it can be released until it is completed and tested.
Beta testing has not begun. It should require at least two months. Testing may uncover problems that require additional time to fix, or may necessitate dropping certain features. That is one very good reason for VSTEP not to talk about things that might not end up in the release.
Extremes is a major departure from previous simulators, involving a new architecture and user interface. Unlike the previous Betas for NH and Pro, where testers were working with a familiar simulator that they knew, basically, how to run and what to expect, Extremes is a new ballgame.
-
The August date was confirmed in todays E-Mail
Spot the word which is probably incorrect. Yes, that's right. The incorrect word is 'confirmed'. I would also let you have 'August'.
-
todays?
could use an apostrophy perhaps, yeah. ;D
-
I'm just hoping i'm wrong but this is what i'm starting to believe..
I am starting to believe that Vstep will keeps this game on low profile as there may not be Tons of more features for SSE, also all i know is that there'll be more ships, a few more environments and a better weather system.. What else?..
It's release date definitely wont be as big as SS08, because they had a forum months before the game came out. So isn't this saying something?..
-
So isn't this saying something?..
No.
-
Marty has quite a way with words.. ;)
Let's just wait and see..All this speculation is like Pigs in Space.. ;D
-
Hello.
Oh god? Two months? I know beta testing take a long time, ut i thought they have already started if they are giving us the photos? Maybe they have ben started.
I'm wondering too about the game's release BUT i hope for that long time what they took (almoust 3 years ) will result with a good game, i hope they are using this time corectly.
So that's the good point for expecting the game, we can imagine and hope. Maybe because of that long time you will se you favorite envirement, or the ship of your dreames. They said this will be a real EXTREME, so i trust them, i belive there are more features, ships, and envirements that they have shown to us. So the game will be the real extreme maybe, but to make an Extreme you need a planty of time.
I know they can't put the release, because if they would put it and tell us everithig, we would be so happy and we would expecting more and more, and then if a week before the release they discover a hughe BUG, what would happen? They would probably stop the release to fix it so we would be mad and angry, or they would release it and the game would work with a bunch of BUG-s.
So i hope that there will be an real Extreme when the game comes out. With time there goes a success.
But they should give us more informations and pictures, that's true.
Bye!

No.
It's too obvious, that you would say no.. Your too defensive for the game as your a Global Moderator.

HI Mattaust
wee moderators have non news about the new game so it was a correct answer from mvsmith, wee all like to have news about the extreme and when v-step are ready do deliver it you all will get it, a tips for you all follow the www.shipsim.com their will you get all you need for the new game and you can describe for newsletter from v-step scroll down to the bottom of the site and add you name and email then you will get a mail in you in box when something happens.
be patient and all will get some news when v-step have something to publish

I'm still sticking with my initial thoughts, it seems a bit sketchy so far of whats going to be on and whats not.
I don't see why V-step cant give us what features will be in the game, and give a release date later.. No harm in that

Why not try A NICE PM ASKING if its possible for news . ;)

If your speculation is true and VSTEP have nothing further to show or say, then why keep asking?
If Extremes has nothing much to offer, then why complain about delay in releasing something that won’t be worth buying?
Your exercise in childish psychology is unlikely to frighten VSTEP into diverting resources from the very difficult task of completing a major software project.
There is no good reason or obligation for VSTEP to provide any more information at this time, and many good reasons not to.
-

I think 'fan community' is a very, very good reason.

Well Q3 means July, August and September according to http://www.investopedia.com/terms/q/quarter.asp (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/q/quarter.asp), so we can jump on false conclusions on each of them.
I hear that one players says July. Then, when July arrives he says August....oh...and August arrives and he suddenly says September...lol ;D
One thing, and that's a fact, Paradox Interactive says Q3..and those months are Q3 :D
Hopefully, when everything is tested, VSTEP should at least (for the sake of rumours and insane theories) announce the final date or final month for release.
FYI, I just wrote a headline on this one, here's my headline.http://www.skipssimulator.net/no/?p=792&lang=en (http://www.skipssimulator.net/no/?p=792&lang=en)
So it is all about...
Q3 :P
that's a Q3...

-
Well i don't see a reason to panic.
If it's possible, try to forget on the SS Extremes, i know it's hard to, but you must, pretend that it's not exisst, untill the moment when they realase it. Then you will se the videos and pictures of other players, the recomending too, so you'l decide if you want to buy it or no.
I think that's the only cure, i now it's hard, very, very hard, but thats the only way.
I'm concentrainting on other games, i don't think on the SSE or i'm just enjoying in SS2008. I recived all news so i can check if there is something, but i'm not concetradet on it, when it will be released, i'l wait one day to see what's in it, if it's good i'l order it, if it's not, i would not.
I hope it will be release trough the summer, because that's the best time to play simulators with Ships, and i will enejoy the most, in the school time it's hard to catch the computer games.
Kind regards.

I think 'fan community' is a very, very good reason.
When Extremes is released, the “fan community†can express its displeasure at being “kept in the dark†by simply not buying the product.
You can see in this topic the adverse reaction that VSTEP risks by nearly anything that they show:
http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,18733.msg253421.html#msg253421 (http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,18733.msg253421.html#msg253421)
The only real obligation VSTEP has to the “fan community†is to produce a superior product. They have taken a very bold step in order to accommodate many of the wishes of the users.
It is inevitable that, after release, there will be posts criticizing them for not including some feature, for including some feature that unnecessarily reduced frame rate, for taking too long to finish it, for rushing an untested game to market, for making it too difficult to use by changes to the GUI, etc.
Why invite similar criticism prior to release? The more that VSTEP shows, the louder the clamor for yet more.
-
Hi All
Martys right it was the same for 2008 no matter what v-step do there will be people
will still moan so they can not win either way.
One thing I am sure of not buying the game is only taking it out of the person not buying
he will miss out on the pleasure of having the best game in the series.

I think that we should not wait that long to know something.. more

There has been some information on SSE that has been released, or at least has appeared in public, that I’ve not seen discussed here. Here are some quotes from a review by Jeff Haynes:
… Players can leave the wheel and wander the detailed ships, exploring the decks and operating onboard equipment. Actually, there are a couple of missions where you'll need to perform these tasks, such as launching lifeboats to save spies or using water cannons to repel illegal whalers.
Ship Simulator Extremes will come packed with a new ship editor, as well as online multiplayer so captains can perform co-op missions with friends. Visually, the game is striking, especially thanks to the new ocean system, which can render everything from calm seas to violent swells in a realistic manner.
This information dates from January 2010, so it does not necessarily reflect what is currently in the planned release.
-
Thanks for that :2thumbs:
Thats a bit of good news definitely ;D
Here is the link:

I’m curious:
I invite you all to quote two two-word phrases that you find the most interesting.
-
I am sorry I don't understand? ???
-
Now thats some great news and Ship Editor and Launching lifeboats and Watercannons YAY
-
… launching lifeboats - using water-cannons
Quoting like in this manner, Marty?
-
operating equipment - - ship editor

operating equipment. co-op missions

This sounds awsome!

floating cranes, SR.N4 hovercrafts
That's the most interesting I found, which wasn't mentioned.

Oh how cool.
Launching lifeboats, it's a great idea, also the oceans, everithing wath they told is GREAT!
I knew that the timne we are waiting will be reward with a GREAT game.
Oh so cool, i can't wait.
Kind regards.

Could well be for the most obvious of reasons. ::)

I hope for a n00b to use a Ship Editor won't be like modeling a ship in 3ds Max.

No mention of Dover-Calais in the same environment though...

How come our Ex KGB researcher didn’t find it?

Ship Simulator Extreme's release date is kinda getting hard to find the real one. First it was Summer 2009 as SS10E, than April as SSE, and June SSE, and now August? It's like Vstep is trying to bump it closer to 2011. And where is the SSE Demo? Demos release before the full releases. SS06 and SS08 have demos and SSE's should come out months before the game fully releases. I saw a video dating back to May 2nd. Another interview with Frank Dolman and at the end, he said June was the official release month/date. I think VStep finally got confused on release dates.

Matt, don't be daft. Everything you asked has been rechewed lots of times before.
It'd be very symbolic if the release date would be 11.09.2011.

Sorry. Just very tired from a long night :doh:

Optimism
All programmers are optimists. Perhaps this modern sorcery especially attracts those who believe in happy endings and fairy godmothers. Perhaps the hundreds of nitty frustrations drive away all but those who habitually focus on the end goal. Perhaps it is merely that computers are young, programmers are younger, and the young are always optimists. But however the selection process works, the result is indisputable: “This time it will surely run,†or “I have found the last bug.â€
So the first false assumption that underlies the scheduling of systems programming is that all will go well, i.e., that each task will take only as long as it “ought†to take.

If your speculation is true and VSTEP have nothing further to show or say, then why keep asking?
I asked once.. And if you read my first post, i said 'I hope i'm wrong'.
I hope SSE is a fantastic game, i suppose the longer we wait, the better it could be.
-
i suppose the longer we wait, the better it could be.
It’s gonna get a lot better.

Welcome SSE board... :doh:

Too bad theres nothing in it...also does anyone know about the new site? I thought it was supposed to be released at the end of last month, correct me if I am wrong though.

Thats what we were told...

Definately look like the extremes "board" is here :thumbs: Is it empty on purpose or waiting for people to post topics? I saw that it is possible to do so?
But better leave it alone for the moment or we might get an electric shock :doh:
-
Hi everyone,
For now, a general discussions board is all we need. Since there is no game to play yet, anyway.
The rest will get filled in as the release date gets closer, rest assured! :thumbs:
The new site will be launched very soon, so stay tuned. ;D
If it had been up to Vstep, there would have been some new things to talk about already, but unfortunatly there were some technical difficulties outside Vstep's control that got things delayed a little bit.
Regards,
Fred

POR won't fit any berths in Dover...no double deck loading, and it has a stern ramp :doh:
By the way, in the snowy pic at the end on http://www.shipsim.com/products/shipsimulatorextremes , looks like a whaling factory ship?

It looks so much better :o
She may fit berth 1, but still no ways to get cars on :doh:

True, although they would have to share the same deck...
I am more wondering - no sign/pics of Calais...
And no where for PoR to berth there either...

Looking at that greenpeacer camp in Antarctic made me wonder, maybe now we can open the door to get off the boat! :D And go and take in the scenery like bus simulator :thumbs: Maybe we can go and by an ice cream in Padstow or something :thumbs:

Yes, indeed, I cant seem to copy it and paste it to magnify the name, but if you look really closely you can see it says Oriental Bluebird :thumbs: Im not sure but thats what it looks like!

Pic 10 (Warship) looks to have ghost ships? ???

Ferryman, when I first saw that in SSE at the docks there're still those harbour cranes which are taking their history since dark times of 2006, I simply closed the site & went back on YT.

Not getting SSE then ?
-
Note that there is nothing from VSTEP, as far as I can see, about that small thing - how much will SSE cost?? Sorry to bring this subject up guys, but when your on a pension things like that matter!!! Perhaps VSTEP will give us OAPs a discount, on production of a OAP bus pass of course...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ehm..uhm...like VSTEP is going to make a own discount system for people suffering from poverty, illness and got pension as the only income? Are you... "#¤% kidding? ??? ??? ???

Hi guys,
FYI, price is under negotiation with the publisher and will be disclosed when the pre-order system launches (soon).
hope you enjoy the site...we're going to update it quite often, so keep checking back...
By the way, for your comfort there is an Extremes forum section available now. Makes it easier to locate all things about Extremes...

My compliments on the new site Frank, looks fancy :thumbs:

Very nice site!
BTW Frank, It doesn't work with IE8 it seems.

Yes, so it seems...we are aware and will fix it asap...

Frank, nice work with the website! Its Extreme :thumbs:
In my IE8 the site is running smooth.

I also use IE8 and no problems :)

confuzzling...

Im running Firefox, and its working like a charm =)
-
Google Chrome FTW! And yeah runs like a house on fire, and you just gotta love it ;D
Anyway, still no pictures of new ferries :C
-
I fear we will have to pretend the PoR is a cross channel ferry
-
Who is going to pre order donation edition?
I think i will. :D You never know maybe you win the price!
-

Isn't there only one berth that the PoR can fit on?
-
Yes...
But the stern does look slightly like a twin loader with no loading ramp...

Yes...

Still, wont be the same without the proper ferries...
-
POR does look like a double deck loader at the stern but weirdly the freight enters through the stern door, goes up a ramp and then reverses onto that outside deck. As the ship is designed for Hull, not Dover, I doubt the ramp would be the right height :P
Plus, she has no bow door for Calais, and cars would have a long journey from deck 7 all the way down loads of ramps, and out of the stern door :doh:
-
True, but you could pretend that the stern has been converted...
but I will miss speeding sternwards from the berth in Calais (okay not speeding...)
-
You never know ;) They might be keeping it as a big surprise, tricking you all into thinking they only have POR, and not until you by the game you find out there are the regular ferries :2thumbs:
And TFM, why dont you just start in Calais with the stern facing calais, and manouever when you arrive at Dover? !
-
Like DC(ITSE)?

Blasphemey!!! :P
at Calais they berth bow-in ;)
The fun is reversing out, then either swingingi in the basin, or out tha harbour and swing around...
-
I got to say!
The new design is a real "Extreme", very, very nice and elegant, gooooooooood JOB, very nice, keep up.
Hope there will be a lot of things and news on it.
There are some days to play before school ;D.
With al new pictures, it look just even more exciting. Hope there would be no problems...
EDIT: I'm runing the site with Opera. It works perfectly.
-
The new site looks very nice, bit dull though - needs more pictures or colour :)
By the way, has anyone noticed the transparent water on the first picture on the new website?
You can see the prop! :D

I'm wondering. The updated the Website, made news of the release date and pre-ordering, and a contest on Going aboard the Rainbow Warrior III, and no Demo? Other than that, they got good pictures of an Antarctic port with improved icebergs, and added snow. They also improved the light rays hitting the hull for improved shadow effects. VStep is doing a good job on creating the game. I'm kinda got bored of Titanic but might continue to like her if in SSE. But all we have to do to find out of the Demo, pre-order, Titanic's fate, and see if the successful Dover-Calais Campaign is mentioned in the website, is wait. Just three more months of waiting from next Monday.

Assuming the date isn't put back anymore...
I say it will be Christmas.., though earlier is better...
-
Yep..It was a good idea to change the name from SS10 to Extremes, gives them a bit more leeway..
They certainly are pushing our patience to the Extremes.., but it sure looks like it's worth it.. :2thumbs:
-
Well if it takes two months to do beta testing, I can easily see the release date being pushed back
-
Well, if the date is being pushed futher back, Vstep is doing that by a reason. So just have patience and it will show up, sooner or later! :)
// Tomaten :)
-
Alpha testing is being done by the developers themselves; they are familiar with what it is supposed to do.
Most Beta testers will start cold on a simulator that is quite different from the SS 2008 that they are familiar with. This is especially true of the mission system, which is very different. During Beta one can expect new builds as exposed bugs are corrected.
Each new build should be retested more or less from the beginning to see what may have inadvertently changed.
Two months is just a guess on my part, based on about three decades of Betas in various disciplines, but the latest estimate for release seems to indicate that VSTEP is thinking in about the same ballpark.
-

There are so many replies in here with the word patience, so I think VSTEP should establish their own pill factory producing Spambot with the name "Patience" :P
I have taken my Spambot for today, so don't worry! :D

Nice one ;D

Hi Frank_vstep,
Many thanks for the info re price of SSE, greatly appreciated.
To those who poured scorn on us poor pensioners - obviously no sense of humour in accepting my 'tongue-in-cheek' remark as it stood!!!! OH well, can't win them all, come to that I can't win any at the moment - THAT's another t-i-c remark guys...................!!!!

Well, after months of work and preparation of the site in secrecy, it's great to be able to disclose and discuss it with the people that we're making it for in the first place!
So yes, when possible, I'll pop in for some feedback now and then! ;)
