Looks good.....
the play demo i really wanted to see, mainly for what the interface will look like etc.....
:salute:

[Platapus]

I still would like to see a demonstration of target tracking, plotting, and manual targeting. This video, while nice, still just highlights the glitzy graphic eye candy.

As I have posted before, I fear that that is all that SH5 will offer us. :nope:

I think that Ubi could do a lot for their public relations if they were to release a demo that shows the actual game play at the higher realism settings.

With only a month before release, I find it hard to believe that Ubi could not find a segment that shows higher realism.... unless it is not in the game. :stare:

Please Ubi, all you are showing me is eye candy. How about showing me something about the simulation aspects of the game?

[GoldenRivet]

is it just me or have both of these vids been posted before?

[KL-alfman]

I still can't believe that there is a "health-bar" connected to the ship you locked ...... http://www.my-smileys.de/smileys3/emotlol.gif

and yes: both were already posted.

in several threads but we have been loose with the restrictions during the riots so as not to be shutting threads down left and right

[Nisgeis]

That looks so awesome. I can't wait to get my copy. The only thing that looks bad is that unrealistic underwater wobbly refraction effect. They had that in SH4 and it was weird then. Some of the particle effects looks better too.

EDIT: I hope the manual is usable too! I've forgotten all about Fat and Lut torpedoes and ladder searches and stuff and haven't used a German TDC for a long time.

my apologies for "dredging up" an old post.....:shifty:

got too excited when i saw the vids to check previous post(s).

Those posts have been buried after pages of DRM threads so, we understand :D Recently I was looking for a thread which recently was a stickie, just to find it in the 7'th page...

Yes you ARE right. But peoplse seem to feel forced to put up the same stuff over and over again.

[Webster]

i think there is also a longing for getting rid of all the pro/anti DRM stuff and the EULA rights talk

people just want to change the subject im sure

[JScones]

So, about those rough seas...

Relax, you don't need to hide. There won't be any rough seas in SH5 :up:

Forced? Far from it.....
I don't know how to take your comment, literally or with a grain of salt?

As i posted before i apologised,
if i am over-reacting then accept my aplogies, it is kind of hard to "gauge" a comment "online, ie. if meant sarcastically, literally or otherwise.

[Webster]

As i posted before i apologised,


im sure it wasnt meant at you or your thread but an overall assesment of the whole forum in general

after all UBI hasnt given us much of anything new to talk about even if we tried, i guess they want to build up the suspense but the customers are walking out of the store so they better release something soon to get people talking about the game again.

[jdkbph]

Meh.

Even without bringing the DRM, the campaign length, and the Type VII "limitation" into the conversaton, the graphics in that demo (I discount the official UBI "beauty shot" video which is most likely a mix of pre-rendered cut scenes interspersed with some limited and carefully selected in game stuff) just aren't that impressive. It's SH4... or at least not much better than what the modders did with SH4 in the 2 years or so since it was released.

And as far as gameplay goes? If the videos I've seen on Youtube (see the penetration into Pearl Harbor (1944 or 1945, in a Type VII) and the torpedoing of ships end-on in narrow docking "slips" from a range of maybe 50 yds, for example) are intended to highlight the best of what will be offered?... well I said it already elsewhere: We - the sub simULATION fans that hang out in forums like this - are NOT the target audience for this game.

I just looked the vids up on youtube. Since that doesn't look like anything UBI released recently I would guess that those are videos generated with SH4 and a Type VII mod. The interface looks very SH4 and the graphics are on a similar level. When it comes to eye candy you cannot realy say that SH5 wont offer enough. ;) Just ... well ... the rest suffered a bit ...

What youtube clip are you talking about? I cant seem to find anything ! Anyway if there even was a pearl harbour penetration video on sh-5 i think it would have been posted here long ago.

[Rosencrantz]

Jeez,


Did I just saw an empty CT, a healthbar over a ship, and heard both english and US Navy OOGAHHH dive alarm?!? This is far worse I could ever believe... :damn::damn::damn:

Looks like SH4 to me. :03:

[Alex]

Looks like SH4 to me. :03:

AVG's right, yep.
You can see through any U-Boot's hull in SH5 as their pressure hull is not modeled in stock SH5. :O:
And this video showing the VIIB doesn't feature the holes in its outer hull. ;)

[Kaleun_Endrass]

It's SH4. Look at the interface...

Ahem... THE INTERFACE?! Of course it's SH4.

[Zoomer96]

Honestly, I saw some features that interested me very much. Moving from one compartment to another is pretty neat. And by the way, the down the throat shot looked awesome to me. I sure would like to see more! I wonder will we be able to hear the ASDIC go across our hull during evasions or will we just hear pings? Will escorts be using hedgehogs and homing torpedoes? I assume the game's AI would be quite a bit more aggressive to reflect history.
Will there be Condor recon planes directing me onto targets? Also will the Type VII make it to the Gulf of Mexico? I don't get the crew management yet either. Tell us more!
I am more interested in the Pacific theater personally but I did read Iron Coffins in my teens and was impressed by the dedication and courage those sailors exhibited in the face of enormous odds. By the way Das Boot The Original Uncut Version is available ON Demand this month.
