SILENT HUNTER IV DEV DIARY

Stand by for incoming Ultra. I am updating the SH4 Dev Diary Part 1 now, it will be online in a few minutes.

Here it is, 12MB rar zipfile with three screens and a 1:27 minute Windows Media file trailer.

or

http://files.filefront.com/sh4_dev1r.../fileinfo.html

Let me know in this thread if you experience any trouble downloading the file.

Its been clamped for bandwidth already

Subsim Monitor · 10-20-06, 11:22 AM

I think the link was broke, looks like Gizz fixed it

Safe-Keeper · 10-20-06, 11:54 AM

It's awesome, promising, and authentic. And I haven't even downloaded it yet

!

Edit 5 mins later:
WOW! Interior shot, and a sunset shot with beautiful waves (stand by for concept art vs. real screenshot-debate

).

Nice, nice, nice. And if you watch the dev diary, it seems your sub's finally getting a search-light, too.

TDK1044 · 10-20-06, 12:20 PM

Good stuff. I like the idea of the Dev diary.

Jimbuna · 10-20-06, 12:51 PM

That was fantastic....can't wait for the next episode

Sir Big Jugs · 10-20-06, 01:32 PM

Unbelievable!

I am sooo looking forward to SH 4

Safe-Keeper · 10-20-06, 02:05 PM

That officer looks so cool, if not a tad bit overweight. Note how the gauges have no needles; they're probably a work-in-progress.

Looking forward to the details on scenery.

I believe the search light will not be static. What good is a search light if you cannot search with it? You have to admit, if they did make it usable it would be a neat feature. Anyway, it looks like a winner of a sim already. I cannot wait.

Is that a New Mexico class BB I see in the first screenshot?

Not my first choice for a US battleship, but I won't complain.

Driftwood · 10-20-06, 04:35 PM

HOT DAMN!

Safe-Keeper · 10-20-06, 04:54 PM

Let's hope the search-light is operable. Surely it shouldn't be that hard to implement when AI ships have them already?

It'd open for morse code communication with other ships, too.

As for the obese officer, I actually like that. Adds to variation and immersion (not all submariners had been photo-models in their past occupation:p).

What an awesome idea. I am highly looking forward to the next episode of the dev diary. I simply can't wait for SHIV to arrive!
