the status screens look far to modern...the whole interface is extremly arcade like. and the interior with a lazy crew looks very sterile. first things i would change are:

- more crew members in the boat
- dirty textures
- changing the interface
- creating new status screens

Its a preview copy and not the finished product so ,
maybe in the finished product there will be more crew ?
Maybe on 100% realism we can use mtdc , who knows .

Camoflague has its own page it looks like. Interesting, must be where the emblams are located too.

any proof for this statement? does neal said somewhere, which version he got? he said, it seems to be a regular copy of the game...

It's a matter of taste, but the whole atmosphere (based on the few screens I've seen so far)
is lacking the WW-II sub's atmosphere.

Not a proof (except if elanaiba is part of dev team, which seems to be, but I am not sure), but still interesting:

Clearly there is a lot to like here, and that is great news. Two big issues remain though.

1) Every reviewer refers to "many bugs" in the game.

Ubisoft's history tells us that this is likely to be a very buggy game at release. I hope the first patch comes early.

2) The DRM issue hasn't gone anywhere. For many of us, that's a deal breaker. Please don't hijack this thread with more DRM stuff though.

all the reviewers clearly state that their copies are preview copies which aren't dev complete.

Yes, I saw the Neal torpedo loading video, and although it comes from a preview copy too, it seems less buggy (shadows specially). Of course I am aware that it is not possible to compare the copy of "previewers" and the preview one of Neal in a fair way. All is based more in probabilities and opinions. But still it could be released without less bugs than it seems. We'll know in march.

Trust me, they don't look like that.

He means the various indicators, like speed, depth, the 'radar map', the actual shape and texturing of UI components look like they belong more a monster truck driving game or an I-phone than a sub simulator.

The rest of the game does look phenomenal, and plenty of interesting new game mechanics, but this whole UI thing is really bumming me out. I hope it can be modded (and damned quickly) but it seems to me to be a terrible design decision in terms of immersion. And frankly quite baffling, given whom the franchises previously solid history of providing an immersive, more-or-less authentic WW2 submarine experience.

Anyway, I could accept that interface if at the same time they'd keep the ability to activate buttons and dials directly with the mouse in the 3d world (as SH3) which I am afraid we might have losed. Who knows...

himlaviz · 02-12-10, 07:53 AM

Nice screenshots

Maybe the "modern" UI will make more sense while playing the game, it seems they go for a clean and minimalistic look and making sure it's not in the way for the 3D feeling, like walking around in the uboot. Might also make it easier to design for many different resolutions, 5:4, 16:9 or 16:10.

Perhaps some WW2/Uboot feeling is lost in the UI but maybe the rest of the game/simulation makes up for that.

The same was true for SHIII and SHIV, and look at the state of those games at release.
