Gram.pl preview of SH5

Sonarman · 02-16-10, 09:36 AM

The Polish games site "Gram.pl" has a 3 page preview of SH5, read the "googledegook" translation of it here

Underwater gun ho!

U-boat frogmen!

SH5 is reaching new, uncharted levels of realism.

Thanks for the link.
The google translation is hard to follow but the reviewer mentions many historical mistakes, graphical and AI issues, overall quite a few bugs. We expected those anyway

I just hope sooner or later they're patched and mod tools are very very capable.

He also mentions, "No way to shuffle the crew around", I'm hoping this is not the case. Because the one eyed pirate wasn't at the CR, and there was a new face there

Well the translation is pretty bad but this build looks like a real FAIL to me. The gun crew underwater is straight from SH-3. Did SH-4 do this (I never owned it)?

Sailor Steve · 02-16-10, 09:57 AM

Yes, it's a major complaint in SH4 as well.

But SH5? Hey, you wanted to see flooding in the submarine, didn't you?

Me??? I never wanted to see it. I just wanted it simulated in the damage report. I wanted them to focus on the simulation part of the title not the graphics. I lose.

Same here, actually. I didn't mean you directly, I was writing generically to all the folks who say they do want that.

I'll take AOD with modern graphics any day of the week.

this is the great new fully dynamic campaign, dude...no reason to be scared.

i am more scared of an autistic crew, muted and frozen in repeating moves...

Here we have the 10 campaigns in a tree like the Wing Commander campaign

Effectively you played pro career only 5 or 6 campaigns

Major error: A screenshot showed a map of northern europe, where "Norway" was a label placed over the country of Sweden. Tsk.

The country label "Norway" really must be moved more to the left, just beside the coast to the Atlantic ocean.

Also, I think the country label "England" should be changed to "Great Britain", because it includes Scotland and Ireland. I suppose that even this might be wrong. The people who live there ought to know what is correct though.

I thought that this screenshot looked very nice, with the background included.

My god that translation is giving me a headache. I guess Polish is hard to translate. Regardless, thanks for the heads up, Sonarman!

It seems the whole 'dynamic campaign' stuff turned out to be a set of scripted missions, a-la SH2.

DedEye · 02-16-10, 07:43 PM

I recall the producer of SH3 saying he wanted to have a campaign setup similar to this. After much protest on this site it was changed.

Sadly it appears that this has idea has not gone the wayside. Canned missions suck
