Gaming News - January 2004
San Francisco, CA(January 15, 2004) - Ubisoft today announced that
Silent Hunter III will be shipping for the PC in late 2004.
From Ubisoft:
The next title in the Silent Hunter franchise will add new dimensions to the
simulation experience. The player will engage in a compelling ocean environment,
featuring dynamic weather, and experience the intensity of historical naval
warfare. Taking the role of the U-boat commander, players will seek their enemy
with sonar and periscope, attack the enemy with torpedoes, destroy them with the
deck gun, or command their crew to do the job. The all-new 3D engine features
impressively detailed U-boat models, both externally and internally, with exact
replica WWII technology.
"Silent Hunter III will go beyond current naval simulations and offer a
brand-new dimension: a U-boat captain simulator," said Florin Boitor,
producer in Ubisoft Studios. "From detailed crew assignment to essential
decisions in combat to career evolution, everything will be in the player's
control."
In fact, the game reaches even further and recreates a WWII movie atmosphere
with cinematic cameras focusing on the most crucial events around the player.
Whether they are stalking Destroyers or hiding from depth charges, players will
experience the game as their own personal war story. Also available will be a
robust multiplayer mode that includes cooperative and best of the pack game
modes.
"The Silent Hunter series has a legacy of award-winning titles and
Silent Hunter III will continue in that tradition," said Tony Kee, vice
president of marketing, Ubisoft. "The innovative crew management system,
spectacular environmental effects, and high realism will set the simulation
standard for years to come." Silent Hunter Background:

between the German U-boats and the Allied naval forces during WWII to gain
domination over the oceans. Its impressive list of features, beautiful 3D
graphics, and unrivaled gameplay assure that this installment of the Silent
Hunter series will reinvent underwater simulations.
