S.H. 5 Gameplay demo and 3D Graphics Engine Demo vids

[Feuer Frei!]

Kaleuns.....
links to both vids.....

Play Demo:


Graphics Engine Demo:


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

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.

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.

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

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 ......

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

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.

Those posts have been buried after pages of DRM threads so, we understand 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
