A small Silent Hunter 5 interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyS9X3Kggvo

[Ragtag]

Nice, thanks :)

[GoldenRivet]

sweet:salute:

[rik007]

March 2010 gentlemen...

[dcb]

Quote: "We're actually shaping the history into a number of 10 campaigns."
Intriguing concept. I wonder where this will lead and how will the campaigns be connected, or will they?:hmmm:

[cjbeattie]

nice video thanks..

do's mean the outcome of the war can be changed also? or is it dynamic (with strings)

what happens if your such a competent captain that you sink ALL the british battleships.. (not me by the way ill stick the lone freighters or passenger liners with no escorts) :salute: surely old Blighty couldnt of won without its iron tubs..

Bismarck's departure i wonder if on that date you were there seeing it leaving port never to return.. if its this dynamic then it will be fantastic..

The only 'gripe', well isn't really a gripe i just hope there is ALOT of animations routines for the crew so they dont do the same thing every 2 seconds when idle as that would grind very quickly indeed...

great vid though thanks:DL

Quote: "We're actually shaping the history into a number of 10 campaigns."
Intriguing concept. I wonder where this will lead and how will the campaigns be connected, or will they?:hmmm:

i hope it doens't mean if you choose op drumbeat you just play during that time and then the "game ends" or... if you choose "the happy times" the campaign ends when the manure collides with the air moving device*...
maybe it gives you certain "dates" to start the campaign like in sh4?



* you know... when the **** hits the fan :rotfl2:

[Hartmann]

I recognize that some concepts in the new game are really intriguing and disturbing like the "unlock" word and now the "campaign numbers". :doh:

[Apocal]

Quote: "We're actually shaping the history into a number of 10 campaigns."
Intriguing concept. I wonder where this will lead and how will the campaigns be connected, or will they?:hmmm:

Isn't the SH4 system with the cutscenes basically the same thing?

[Wild_skipper]

Wait i am confused, what do they mean with the 10 campaigns ?
Do they mean we all have to start them seperate or that they will be implented in to one carreer like we had in SH3 and SH4 ?

[Ritmeister]

Just a wild guess, but I think the reference to campaigns might mean just a an expanded version of what we have come to know as scenarios, but much longer and more detailed in scope and length. THeres still a reference to a full what you might call career which is labeled as dynamic where critical interactions can affect the course of the whole war. How all this comes together remains to be seen. In the greatest possibility what happens if you strangle England, or do such damage to the RUssian convoys. How will this affect the missions you see further down the line? Just speculating mind you.

As someone said I think the public info is being scripted by lawyers and politicians! :rotfl2:

[MaciejK]

All I want is to hear one of the devs saying - "You are gonna have a full, 1939-45 dynamic canmpaign, you will be able to sail anywhere provided you got the fuel".

iPhone version???

[Nickolas]

iPhone version???

but with better graphics and a WW2 theme? :P

[Sailor Steve]

And now you guys know what Elanaiba looks and sounds like.

I agree with Ritmeister. It sounds to me like the 'Campaigns' are extended scenarios involving various operations.

All I want is to hear one of the devs saying - "You are gonna have a full, 1939-45 dynamic canmpaign, you will be able to sail anywhere provided you got the fuel".
He did say "...also the dynamic campaign". We raised such a fuss over the early SH3 announcement that that game would not have one that it was delayed for six months while they fixed it (after they took a couple of polls to make sure what we really wanted).

I don't think there's anything to worry about.

[Shkval]

Mine biggest fear is coming true! Mission based U-boat simulation! C'mon people we want freedom to roam the ocean! Not D.W. style missions! This "campaign" thing stinks up to the sky!

That was the impression I got too. It's hard to think they'd go backwards, especially given the stink raised with the SH3 dynamic campaign issue.

[trashman]

I don't care about all that, I can't wait til March........!!!!!!!!!!!:yeah:



"Captain, number 1 tube is ready sir"

[Sailor Steve]

But yer gonna have to!:rotfl2:

WELCOME ABOARD!:sunny:

ironically not so diferent from what i posted as a joke :rotfl2:

reminds me of Navyfield. :hmmm:

[Wilcke]

They have them in SH4, called 'Historical Battles', not as expansive as what Dan was suggesting but nevertheless the same concept and already a part of game.

[MaciejK]

I just hoope you are right. Would be a great disappointment if the dynamic campaign was unlockable or or had some parts of oceans loced before you achieve sth....

Thanks for posting this dangrey! :salute:

[codmander]

I think that vid created more questions than answers :o
1.better crew...
2.better graphics
well at least 2 are better that we know of ,,,,,,,,,,,,so far((from a laymans view))

[andycaccia]

Thank you for posting this vid!

[onelifecrisis]

My birthday is in March.
And I just got an iPhone for Christmas.
Fate is smiling on me! I bask in it's warm glow! :D

Awesome video, thanks for posting.

[arkroyal]

:) Nice video :ping:

[Uber Gruber]

Notice Dan didn't use the W word throughout the whole interview....

I see bad omens :nope:

[Reece]

Yes I haven't seen any rough W yet!!:-?

[elanaiba]

What w word?

[Hitman]

Nice video, It sounds like were going to get the historical events we have been asking for in the previous versions of SH. Still confusing about the dynamic campaign statement.

[makman94]

it could be weather ....also !!

A hunting pack of African Wild Dogs (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/African_Wild_Dog)

Pack size distribution (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Group_size_measures) of the African Wild Dog.


Pack is a social group of conspecific canids (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Canidae). Not all species of canids - notably the red fox (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Red_fox) - form packs. Pack size (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Group_size_measures) and social behaviour (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Social_behaviour) within packs varies across species.
[edit (http://www.subsim.com/w/index.php?title=Pack_(canine)&action=edit&section=1)] Examples

African wild dogs (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/African_Wild_Dog) (Lycaon pictus) live and hunt in packs. Males assist in raising the pups, and remain with their pack for life, while the females leave their birth pack at about age two and a half years old to join a pack with no females. Males outnumber the females in a pack, and usually only one female breeds, with all of the males. African wild dogs are not territorial, and they hunt cooperatively in their packs, running down large game and tearing it apart. They cooperate in caring for wounded and sick pack members as well as the young.[1] (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/#cite_note-0)
Gray wolves (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Gray_Wolf) (Canis lupus) usually live in packs which consist of the adult parents and their offspring of perhaps the last 2 or 3 years. The adult parents are usually unrelated and other unrelated wolves may sometimes join the pack.[2] (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/#cite_note-1)
Black-backed jackals (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Black-backed_Jackal) (Canis mesomelas) have a single long term mate, and usually hunt singly or in pairs. Both parents care for the young, and the parents and their current offspring are the pack. They will cooperate in larger packs to hunt large game.[3] (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/#cite_note-2)
The Ethiopian Wolf (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Ethiopian_Wolf) (Canis simensis) has different social behavior from the gray wolf: pack members hunt alone for rodents, and come together mainly to defend their territory from other packs.[4] (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/#cite_note-3)
New Guinea Singing Dog (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/New_Guinea_Singing_Dog) (Canis lupus dingo): In 1994, studies were done in Oregon on a captive social group of New Guinea Singing Dogs. Physical attacks between same-sex adults when females were in estrus led to them being kept in pairs; attacks were only between equals and inferiors in the pack hierarchy, never on higher ranking individuals. Pairs would tolerate their offspring through one or two breeding seasons. When kept together, they exhibited distinctive behaviours. They do not use the "play bow" common among other Canis. Food is shared equally, not fought over, and all adults and adolescents regurgitate food for the young. They engage in choral howling, but without dominance behaviour that has been seen in wolf and coyote pack howling.[5] (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/#cite_note-4)
Domestic dogs (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Dog_behavior) (Canis lupus): Despite being genetically the same species as the grey wolf, it is unclear what the similarities are between the pack behaviour of the dog and the gray wolf. Domesticated dogs have had humans as part of dog social structure for at least 12,000 years, and human behaviour is not the same as wolf behaviour. Studies of dog behaviour include studies of dogs and their interactions with humans (example [6] (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/#cite_note-5)), "dumped" or "road" dogs that were raised by humans and then left to fend for themselves (The Tuscany Dog Project[7] (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/#cite_note-6)), feral dogs not attached to humans (Carolina Dog (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/Carolina_Dog)), and feral dog packs that live in association with human villages or camps (New Guinea Singing Dog (http://www.subsim.com/wiki/New_Guinea_Singing_Dog)). Pack structure and behaviour varies greatly.

I haven't been here around a lot, but you guys always find a way to crack me up! :har:

[SteamWake]

Hey guys the sub at 1:36 I dont recognize it.

[Shkval]

Quit scr....g around guys, you know what you will get? Perfect picture, perfect sound, animated backgrounds and S..T for gameplay! It will go like this... "a conwoy arriwes approximately 03:45 in grid An35, if you sink 10 000+ tons of enemy shipping you can go to (unlock) gibraltar area, and your chief of the boat will get 10 pt. of experience, ...bla, bla, bla... size of enemy escort is unknown". The escort ofcourse will be sharp as a razor, they will be able to see in the pitch dark like Terminator and hear like Daredewil (fart of a fly at 5 km), and you will spend countless hours in futile attempts to sink few merchants or a, Godforbid, a tanker. Linear "if then else" s..t of a game.

Let me write that down, need to forward it to programming.

You could earn gold at the Olympics with your ability to jump to conclusions. Man, it was like a single sentence blurb and you somehow extrapolated that into something the SH serious has never done.

Although...
you will spend countless hours in futile attempts to sink few merchants or a, Godforbid, a tanker.

Sounds like late war SH3.

That got me curious, so I looked it up. Interestingly enough flies do fart. This is from WikiAnswers: Any animal eating and digesting food will "fart".

Kangaroos don't fart !

:88)

Did you actually watch the interview and listen all the way to the end?

The dynamic campaign, reflecting the entire war will still be available and will offer the player the ability to affect the outcome of the war on different fronts.

[Jimbuna]

Great interview Dan...and very photogenic http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4030/winkbigid2zj6.gif

[Castout]

If it turns out to be a flop I'm not going to touch it. :nope:

[MTotenkopf]

it looks very arcade like. i hope this people make it as realistic as the other silent hunter series. except silent hunter 4 it was the worse made so buggy that the own comunity had to patch it up. thats just sad.

[Red Heat]

A small Silent Hunter 5 interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyS9X3Kggvo


I liked... :D

[jdkbph]

From the interviews and previews posted here and on front page, the impression I get is that the devs, in an effort to expand their audience, are trying to make this game all things to all people.

This approach works well in politics, where the aim is simply to get elected, any way, any how. People, in general, are stupid and gullible, and it would be quite amusing if it weren't so damning an indictment, to watch them buy into the promises and hype over and over again.

It always ends in disappointment.

Of course the goal of UBISoft and the devs is to sell the game, any way, any how.

So how is this likely to end...?

Personally I have a bad feeling that SH4 is the last sub sim we're likely see for some time, if not ever.

Well no worries -at least your better looking that the Aphex guy (if i can say that in a non-homosexual kind of way :doh:.)

nice video thanks..
what happens if your such a competent captain that you sink ALL the british battleships.. (not me by the way ill stick the lone freighters or passenger liners with no escorts) :salute: surely old Blighty couldnt of won without its iron tubs..


Yea like maybe you could sink a couple troop carriers at D-Day or sicily or italy and maybe they would not go so great?

GAAAGGHHHH!

Amen to that!

And Steve, what's with the rash of red triangles!!!! Are they in SH5?????

I hope not! But they are on the smiley list and sometimes I feel compelled to let them breathe free.
