Josh Posted January 6, 2002 Posted January 6, 2002 Is H4 coming out as a video game or did that project finally die off?
Guest ASIO Agent #451956 Posted January 6, 2002 Posted January 6, 2002 (I'm Luke) After the sale of SSI from Mattel interactive to Ubisoft, ubi cancelled the project, but then there was a big hoo-ha kicked up by the community, that they said the project would be back. So far there has been no news on any work being done on it, the logical reasoning is due to Ultimation needing to work on getting SH2 and DC out the door and patched, then we'll see what gets done, but it's a safe bet to say at least 2003... But the ubi product catalogue that came with both il-2 and SH2 has Harpoon 4 in it but no date, so who knows...

Harold Jones Posted January 7, 2002 Posted January 7, 2002 It's vaporwere, if this game ever comes out I'll buy the next ten people to respond to this thread their own copy.
Jussi Saari Posted January 7, 2002 Posted January 7, 2002 I hereby place the first reservation, just in case the unlikely happens.
BJE Posted January 7, 2002 Posted January 7, 2002 I want one too I just hope it will be faster than H2. It took forever to hunt subs in Karlskrona on the then-modern 486... /Magnus

Harold Jones Posted January 7, 2002 Posted January 7, 2002 I checked out ubisoft's site on Harpoon 4 http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/harpoon4/ and it wasn't very informative. Said the game would be released in 2002 but it did provide a link to the official harpoon 4 site http://www.harpoon4.com/ which provided the much less useful date of 2001.

Mekhazzio Posted January 7, 2002 Posted January 7, 2002 I don't think it'll be vaporware, I think it'll be shovelware...just get it out the door in whatever condition. Ultimation has had a pretty bad track record (Panzer Commander, SH2...)
Selz Posted January 7, 2002 Posted January 7, 2002 Ooopsss. Manic screwed up the count.... guess I am 10.
Manic Moran Posted January 7, 2002 Posted January 7, 2002 I'm sorry, you're right.. I double-deducted Harold's one. NTM
Archie Pellagio Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 www.ultimation.com has a bit of info too. Hey, can you extend the free give-away to 11 people
Harold Jones Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 I'll need addresses and such, just e-mail them to my profile address. Also you furriners will have to cough up postage and any customs fees. I expect you have a good long while to save up for it. [Edited by Harold Jones (08 Jan 2002).]
Red Ant Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 What?? Do you mean you're actually serious about it??
Archie Pellagio Posted January 8, 2002 Posted January 8, 2002 You do realise that come christmas or whenever this game is released, I will hold you to this, if for no other ereason but to spite you for not extending the list to eleven

Al Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 Know some of you are interested in the status of this game. Ran across this letter from Larry Bond over on www.wargamer.com http://www.wargamer.com/articles/harpoon4_...letter_main.asp
Josh Posted February 11, 2002 Author Posted February 11, 2002 Thanks for the info; it was/is a game I eagerly await.
