wow

thanks sober it looks great..

I hope the part where everyone running through the sub isnt merely show and is the first person in action as the panic and them running will add to the tension i think

Great work

I’m missing something as well? Nothing new…………..

Great lets bin this thread and clean the official one please Admins.

If this got posted for the fact the sound is a bit better and has "real game footage" why not tag it on to the real thread you know the actual interesting one. :down:

its not much of a look with only a few seconds to see but i did like the way the planes dove and manuvered so i hope that means they have a realistic motion to them now

simsurfer

12-18-09, 07:15 PM

Looks good so far. The one thing I noticed was when they were at periscope depth and the escorts were firing there front guns, you could hear the guns going off. I dont think in real life you would have heard that at periscope depth, under water and surrounded by all that steel & water.

Sag75

12-18-09, 07:53 PM

it's a representative video, we shouldn't take everything we can see as really in-game feature.

For instance, when periscope is getting down after the third zoom on the firing DD, we can see its propellers.. but probably DDs are 500-1000m far (as the first zoom periscope scene shows) ..so can we see 500m far propellers when submerged? I guess no. Or, on other hands.. the game is a first person viewer, so why we can see the captain figure giving orders?

I have to agree! I watched "Das Boot" again yesterday and realized that there is almost no space. Often only half a meter only the command room was a bit wider. So... this should be changed before release!! Also I don´t see no tubes, etc. It looks so empty and not like an interior of a u-boat :nope:

That`s what i mean, when you see the trailer it looks like you are in
a bar or something. I do miss the narrow feeling, too much room...

:yep: And IMHO what also makes it seem bigger is the fact that the crew can run through you and vice versa. The Commander doesn't miss a beat, even when he and two others are trying to get through the same door at the same time.

12-19-09, 11:20 AM

I'm glad someone brought up the cavernous feeling of the interior; I thought maybe I'm being too picky. But, since Ubi is choosing to feature the action inside they've made it an issue. If they're going to add this interactivity in SH5 shouldn't we get the closed in feeling like in Das Boot? I think it would be nice to get that near claustrophobic feeling; deep down in the cold ocean, pressure on the hull, surrounded by lots of steel pipes etc. while being depth charged.

pythos

12-19-09, 12:51 PM

It is shortened drastically. The "real in game footage" answers the question for all those asking "is this just a promo movie?" The sound of the depth charges is nice in my opinion.

I do wish they kept the "peaceful" scenes in. More interior shots, and the engine room.

I do wish people hear would understand that to market to the masses you must bow down to the next to lowest common denominator.

For most on this Forums hearing German dialog is just sauce for the goose. But for a person who has never tried a subsim, the German might be disconcerting. Which could affect sales.

In other words for posters here, please can the "terrible dialog" statements until the game is out. :)

I hope this re-release of this trailer means a new one is on its way out.

Hartmann

12-19-09, 05:13 PM

the relative big size of the sub compared with the crew could be a engine limitation, to show well the movements of the crew walking along the sub in the compartments and limit the clipping.

Perhaps a historic size can cause a bottle neck for the crew when moving inside the boat and is better for the "movie" atmosphere

Arclight

12-19-09, 06:07 PM

I agree with the above. Sticking to 100% accurate scale might result in an unplayable game. :yep:

Strange then, I took a snapshot of the screen and you can see the address bar as well as the date in the lower right corner, seems that possibly some countries display differently maybe!!:hmmm:

The biggest change in the trailer is the title. When the first trailer came out it was a big blue (and pretty ugly) Silent Hunter name. Now they've made it slimmer and added the Battle of the Atlantic name. I think they took out the cook because you all complained so much. I loved the original trailer, especially in german, but they should've made english subtitles for it.

andycaccia

12-20-09, 02:00 PM

But...where the hell is the emergency dive bell?? :hmmm:
I only hear the same kind of siren sound used on American boats!

I hope the will change this... U boats had a bell (remember sh3??)

having all these hatches stay open was done in order to allow you to be able to go through it and it wasnt changed for GQ because other things have greater priority so im not that upset over it, im sure a mod will fix it

I disagree with you.
Think... if you see a trailer in spain, russian or chinese version (or other exotic language for you) with English subtitles - do you buy this game? You - maybe.
And now - does an 'ordinary' american kid buy this game? I think not.

Sorry, my American friends for these bitter words - but true is that US is the largest game market, and all developers think mainly about "ordinary american kids". (Do you remember tragic 'americanish japanese' language in Battlestation Pacific? - this was disaster for me.)

But... this is 'only' a trailer - and must be 'unfortunately' political correctly.

Absolutely correct , but they could have had a german language alternative one .

i really dont see why they cant follow the example of movies where they use english speaking germans so they have the german accents but speak english so i can understand them.

In SH2 they did exactly that. People complained because real u-boat crews didn't speak English with German accents, they spoke German.

i forget who it was but i agree with the guy who wants to know why english speaking german crew sound like they are americans
The reason they did it for SH3 is because they knew (or hoped) that they would be doing American boats in SH4, and didn't want to have to do the English speaking twice. Why they didn't put German voices back in UBM, I don't know.

I'm certain they'll have German voices in SH5. As to the English option (if there is one) being American-accented? I'm hoping that their thinking is there will be a fleet-boat version later, and again this way they'll already have those voices done.

There will be a German voice package:

Will more realistic sounds be used for the ships and subs? Also will we finally have the function to change the crew’s voices to German (instead of relying on mods)?

Yes. There will be new sounds, true surround effects, and a German voice pack distributed with the game.

My dream would be to hire the original actors from "Das Boot" and make them do all the new speechfiles, that would be fantastic!:yeah: (Except Klaus Wennemann R.I.P. he could only be sampled from the Movie of course):oops: :dead:

One more question is there on my mind: Will there be a demo for SH 5!? Would be great to see if the PC is strong enuff to handle it at all...:ping:

Hi guys,
check this German Ubisoft TV show out. The newest show contains some new Silent Hunter 5 info. I believe that they actually played the game.

Starts at 10:15 - http://ubitv.de.ubi.com/?vid=751

Thank you very much for that! Too bad I don't speak German!

But besides that, SH5 looks pretty good. It seems they've changed the interface quite a bit. I laughed at the description of the sonarman "Sound Guy". I don't like the damage and flood meters, but I'm sure that's an option that can be removed. In all, it looks wonderful! Oh, and I love the engine room!

I DEMAND A TRANSLATION, STAT! :03:

Awesome indeed, but why would you need translating? Any old SH3 or SH4 player could comment on that movie for a whole hour better than the Ubi guy.

For a newbie player the game with the new interface will be awesome. But old Kaleuns bent on immersion by confusion will require a veeery different interface... Let's hope they won't require a different game.

Everything I've seen paints an easy but original game for newcomers to the series. The interface has a "modern" feel that might not appeal to everybody but does a nice job of making it look ergonomically German. In all it looks like a streamlined interface and it should do well in drawing more players to what is a niche market than the old style. BUT...

Seeing SH3&4 in action with 0% difficulty and seeing it at 100%, both look very similar to an untrained eye. Based on that, the SH5 interface should look exactly the same on High difficulty. In that case, I'd better start learning Python :haha:. We're in for a hell of a modding era guyz..
