Esta carta está remitida a componentes de subsim. Hay preocupación por el tipo de campaña del juego y creo que sale en respuesta a ello.

Dear all,

First of all, we would like to thank you for your input so far. As we mentioned in the letter that followed the initial SH3 announcement, suggestions from the Silent Hunter community are one of our main sources of inspiration. This is possible because we really appreciate the quality, the maturity and the humor of the debate in the forums.

It seems it was a good decision considering the successful feedback we had at E3 , so we'll continue to work this way.

Regarding the campaign issue, we would like to assure you that we're considering all possibilities in order to bring you innovation, quality and replay value. We think we proved that at E3 with other important features for a naval simulation.
Moreover, we'll start running polls that hopefully will give us a better understanding of your expectations. We'll also present you very soon the main principles of our campaign system.
And finally, we're counting on you as beta testers to give us your feedback about the game before release.

Concerning the simulation issue, make no mistake, SH3 will be a submarine simulation beyond any doubt! Our ambitions for SH3 are very high concerning both the simulation quality and commercial success. We're working hard to achieve both goals.
We did a tremendous amount of research through naval simulators released until now, dozens of books, movies, documentaries, Internet, visits to ALL important U-boats on display at this moment in the world and we even met with a top U-boat commander.

We also prepared for E3 a demo in order to prove the commercial viability of this game and to demonstrate that a naval simulator can be successful and attractive if done right.

One should not exclude the other and I am sure you will agree.

Best,

Florin Boitor
Producer Silent Hunter 3

La carta es una respuesta a la gran preocupación que ha surgido entre los aficionados al conocer que la campaña del juego no va a ser dinámica. Es un intento de tranquilizar al personal.
Dice que se ha demostrado eficaz la preocupación que han tenido en escuchar a los aficionados a la simulación submarina y que están esforzándose en hacer caso de sus comentarios. Quiere que el SH· sea un éxito como simulador y desde el punto de vista comercial y que lo presentado en el E3 tenía ese objetivo.
Que no hay que alarmarse por nada ya que el producto final será testeado por los aficionados y sabremos de verdad en qué consistirá la campaña.

Esto es a grandes rasgos. No es nada más que un intento de acallar las protestas que han habido.

Un saludo.
