I love these little teasers!

And just seeing men on the deck ... :rock:

Special ops! :rock:

Actual diversity of crew models! :rock:

Very nice wake effects! :rock:

It's looking very excellent if I say so myself.

why were there marines on the deck of the sub at the end?

Oh my, oh my, oh my!

That's looking pretty spiffy now. Definately like the idea of the crew being happy or scared...I just hope we can avoid them looking like they need nap time though.

The wakes do look incredible.

As for why there are Marines on the sub at the end, US boats were sometimes used to deploy Marine Raiders as well as Coastwatchers and other sneaky sorts of deals. The Raiders that attacked Makin Island were deployed by submarine. :up:

LoL!

SH4 will pwn royally! :up:

:up: SH4: The next best thing to being there. :up:

could be deck crew doing some maintenence

Maybe beach landing mission? Evacuation mission? We will see.

I had a rotten day until I checked my email and saw part 3 of SH4 now I feel a better, great stuff really looking forward to this one.

i really hope they're puttin as much time into the AI as they are with graphics and crew animations otherwise we'l end up with an eye candy game like SH3 was outa the box!

im defo gonna wait till i see lots of player reviews b4 i buy this one

LMAO the download link is so flooded it wont even display a page rofl never mind downloading it lol.

youtube link is fubar fyi. WWW00000000TTT sh4:rock::rock::rock::rock::rock:

Sweet:up:

Schatten said it: it looks like they're on an insertion mission. If they really have special missions, complete with graphics to match, it's getting better and better.

It's looking very nice, very nice indeed:rock:

That'd be the commando insertion special mission.

Really. Path-finding and friendly fire were both fairly pathetic in Silent Hunter III. Let's hope they'll get that fixed - which I'm sure they will:up:.

I love the graphics, especially the different facial expressions in the concept sketches. Very, very good! Those troops look awesome!

But yes, graphics are secondary and do not matter a bit if game-play isn't good. So let's hope it is!

What impresses me most is the work they put into the crew... I mean, actually it´s just an eye-candy immersion feature...:huh:

What I really love is the sub interior. In some shots they are almost photorealistic. Great!

Makes me want to go sink some japs ... :rock:
