Yes it looks real to me. We should no more Friday and there is an interview with SimHQ which should be out in the near future.

Looks real to me as well.I think we really are on the home stretch now!

As to the post above about ubi and cr*p marketing: Exactly!

WoW! A random glance at the 1C forums despite not being friday and this nugget of information was posted here!

It looks very real to me and I'll be eating my shorts with zap if this collector box part is a fake! March release would be awesome I hope it sticks!

I'm kind of offended however if this is indeed the way we find out the release details after lurking on the forums for years for any scraps of information on this! But if the story sticks I can live with it!

What's the source for all this anti-ubisoft talk? I haven't had too bad experiences with them, please enlighten me..

Ask whiners about publisher <insert name> to say which publisher they like instead... Then wait...

I have no problem with how Ubisoft has handled the IL2 franchise so far (accept maybe the Boonty fiasco ). We got a game with support for years with zillions of free patches / addons / extra everything... Sure, it was MG that did the work but Ubisoft must have paid some way for a lot of the time spent on free patches (or Oleg is Santa Claus). People whine about the copy protection on Silent Hunter V and that the game has been "dumbed" down compared to version III/IV, but how many serious sub sims did the other large publishers release the last decade - or simulators at all?

My 2 cents: FAKE.

...any other than Ubisoft. No need for clarifying things more than that.

If you're too blind to see the damage they did with the NG fiasco and SHV (among many) then I feel sorry for you. Let me put it the other way around - you seriously think anyone would want to do a sub sim after how SHV was accepted?

I don't know why you would be offended. Oleg did hint that the sim would come out early in 2011. You can't blame him for being very vague on the subject. If he says anything about hoping to have SOW completed in any time frame, it always comes back to him as endless whines and diggs about promised release dates.

Ubisoft DRM has drawn much flak, and hopefully they will have found a better way to protect their investment. Unfortunately its a sign of the times. I'm sure the biggest whiners here would do the same thing if it were their monies were being stolen.
