 You talked to him about this thread? I though you asked him about Oleg products and releases? @Bobb4 Oleg confirmed it's not canceled. The original question was, if UBI announced SoW as one of the upcoming titles as they did with other games that are planned to be released until december 09. The fact they didn't, says little to nothing about SoW or UBI in any regard, pro or con, as well as O'Reilly reported statements didn't say anything really, other than his personal statement that to his knowledge UBI is no longer involved. Infact it's not even a surprise, considering most of us expect a release long after december 09. As before, I stick with what Oleg posted here and on SimHQ: Ingame shots and scenes will be shown when he decides to show them. The game will be announced when it is ready to be announced. The game will be released when it is ready to be released. The game started development under contract with UBI. If it's UBI, EA or Santa himself who will publish this game in the West, is pretty much irrelevant to me and considering marketing and legal procedures, I bet just Oleg and a few guys at the publishers know about whos and whens. And even if you'd get to speak to the right person, why should somebody say something so far kept secret, just because somebody makes a call? Well, we'll see if any news will be released with this next call, but to be honest I don't give a damn until it's official and we'll see some producers label on the website or packshot.

Ok, just had another phone call from Phil Brannelly he has confirmed what most of us already knew, Ubisoft are no longer involved with SOW period, Phil said that he has asked questions has to who is the new publisher and he has been told that it is 505, who are also publishing BOP. He also asked me to please post this in appropriate forums so people do not pre-order products advertised has having a link to Ubi. He also said he will look into Ubisoft making an official statement dissociating themselves with Maddox games on this title. If you wish to speak to Phil direct you can on this number 01932578000 press 0 for reception and then ask for Phil Brannelly, he is a very helpful guy and will answer all your questions. He didn't have great things to say about Oleg but that's another story.

It would be great if Oleg just came out and said it rather than all the cloak and dagger

Shhhhh, everything Oleg does has a purpose and deeper meaning dont u know. We just dont/wont know about it...ever. My bet is: he so f:ed up from work he can`t keep his head screwed on strait long enough to remember whats what. (like me for the last 6 months or so) Heres hoping he will return to the land of the living soon (with some real news for a change) Last edited by Baron; 06-04-2009 at 08:07 PM.

James O'Reilly told me last year that Ubi were not involved, i posted the news here but got flamed for it as per usual. Phil, has gone into a lot more detail most of which i will not post here, only to say that according to Phil, Ubisoft are not at all happy with Oleg. This also explains why the website we were promised in December never appeared, Ubisoft own all the domain names to SOW, something which Phil found very amusing.
You may ask why have Phil and James given me so much info, well for a start i am fairly well connected due to my past work in the music industry and also my new business. However if some of you doubt what i have posted then please feel free to call any of these guys, but please note that James is currently at E3, but Phil is still in the UK.

Ideas guys? We need ideas. Ps the other sim, Simhq were reffering to was Birds of Prey. Uibisoft have a habit of dumping titles that fall way behind, look at the whole harpoon 4 fiasco! Still begs the question, why is he so active over at simhq and not at this site? Has 1C abandoned the project as well?

On the topic of the name, "Storm of War"...I'm not sure that this was ever the official name for the game. I remember a post that Oleg left at the "Zoo" (quite some time ago) when he proposed a possible contest for the "Best game title" for the new series. That would indicate to me that he had reservations about using that name from the beginning. I think he posted that message around the time that the "IL2 1946" DVD came out...

The lawyers were involved a while back with IL2 Pacific fighters debacle, word was UBIsoft bailed out 1c Team financially with pay off's to the suing companies (Grunman law suits), this is probably the reason for "Ill feeling" with the respective companies.
To be honest I don't see what all this digging around achieves, it simply creates more speculation. @ Tree what's the name of your "music" company ?
