You just could be right about that ... but what I'm looking forward to is the promised demo verision ... Isn't that suppose to come out before the finished product ...
They'll be some hooting and hollering over that one I betcha ... :yep:
Huh, who promised a demo?

At first I heard there was going to be a demo, but then I heard there was not...
I think it is a bit late for a demo anyway, but it would be nice.

I think it is a bit late for a demo anyway, but it would be nice. Consider all the publishers who release demos after a title has been released. SH3 had no demo and SH4 has a tight development timeline so it doesn't bode well for a demo. While I agree that a demo may be nice, I simply don't think Ubi have allotted the time or resources for one. But hey, what do I know.
On the dev diary: awesome news. Must attempt to satiate the insatiable appetite subless commanders have for updated intel on the upcoming theatre. ;)

Just plain smart marketing to have a demo for a game this interesting. This is a sim not a FPS ... I saw what the FSX demo did for MS ... never mind the extra $1,000 you needed to fly in graphics that good ...:lol:

AJ, are you referring to a part 2 of Neal's "A First Look" preview? I could've sworn when it was initilally published, that I read somewhere that the second part was to be published a few days later. Perhaps Neal changed his mind and decided to postpone part 2, scrap it altogether or maybe I was just simply hallucinating. There's no mention of a part 2 anywhere now, so who knows what I read, or think I read.
Did anyone else read this part 2 bit? :shifty:

SH5 will be out "soon"
i assume this trailer is out either today or tommoz.. but you never can tell with "soon"
"soon" is ok as long as it is not used with the modifier "not very" :)

I actually saw something described as a "written dev diary" on the UK SH4 site last week but it was only up for a short time then it was taken down. I read it and went back to the page to get the link for posting here, but by the time I did, the article was gone. The article was about the various paint/camo schemes used on US subs throughout the war. It was only about four short paragraphs long with I think three accompanying screenshots.
It could be that the devs thought twice about the delivery format of the article and decided to give us another video instead.

You should've run a few Depth Charge virii on the page. It would've caused the article to flood sufficiently to require an emergency surface.

I want to know what thickness the tin is in the special collectors edition box. Can it survive a three year lay up in a dusty closet? What kind of bag should we put it in to protect the lustre and the gloss finish? Do we have to worry about humidity or condensation getting to the contents?
Will it fetch a handsome price on ebay of the future? Was the special 42 medal with a Russian boomer really a mistake and if so will that add to the higher asking price for future collectors of submarine sub sim memorablie'?
These are important questions that I think should be covered in the next developers diary ... I know it's asking too much to show us a video on how they carefully packed and placed each item in the collectors edition, but it's only fair to show us serious sub simmers what to do with our investments. :yep: :p :up: :know::arrgh!: :rock:

I can assure you of one thing, if you end up playing SH4 on a 22" widescreen (which has a native res of 1680x1050), you'll wonder how you ever got along on a 4:3 screen. Trust me on this one.

A written dev diary on the interface has been added to the SH4 homepage (scroll down the page to see it) Although it's dated 14-02-07 I think it has only just gone up.
http://silenthunter4.uk.ubi.com/index.php
i think you will find thats been around for awhile
Dont worry people, the Dev diary will be out "soon" :up:

actualy from the looks of things that interview is new. theres quite a bit of interesting info there. the interface looks really good... also the resolution news is great

I just recieved a Dev Diary package, appears to be a set of screens with a doc explaining the game interface. Has it been posted anywhere yet?
Here it is:
http://www.subsim.com/sh4interface.htm
The interface is very scalable and can run in any resolution greater than 1024*768. Basically, the available screen resolutions reported by DirectX are only a restriction to the game.
This means the game can run at any aspect ratio, on any monitor: 4:3, 5:4, 16:9, 16:10 etc. So, go ahead and buy the HD monitor you want, Silent Hunter 4 will make full use of it. We tested the game and looks great on 37” HD monitors.
