Pleasa add some Aquatic Life-Forms

ThatDeafDumbandBlindKidd · 12-30-05, 07:58 PM

While sitting out an depth-charge attack on the ocean floor I don't see any Aquatic life-forms anywhere. Or, I could be lurking around in an Kelp forest. How about some Whales,Sharks and schools of fish.

How about a tight underwater cave to navigate that leads to the center of a flooded volcano uses as a base?

Hehe, fake schools of fish would be nice! Jellyfishes too!

Could be simply done with random sprites throughout the ocean...

Yep. Since it will be taking place in the Pacific, sharks will be important. Maybe some dolphins, as well. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate that will drag down the framerates - just enough so that the sea seems more "alive".

How realistic was the presence of aquatic live during WWII on sonar for instance? I don't mind a dorsal fin every day or two and I know that dolphins sometimes caused torpedo alarms, but, dev team, don't do anything that slows the frame rate!

I'd say that a whale surfacing and blowing would be something reviewers would be sure to take note of.

Good idea. Important parts of the game as sea travel can be lonely.

AND FFS MAKE THE SEABED BETTER!!! Ooops! capslock on.

I hope the seabed wouldnÂ´t be as smooth as it is in SHIII, I want rocks and underwater mountains and things like that!

Marhkimov · 01-02-06, 07:20 PM

Just like last time??? oh...you mean they will say they are going to cover everything then not put it in and say nothing about it before the release of the game and let the community find out through their wallets....and then....not fix it in a patch/expansion...then drop support and work on another title doomed to be released unfinished

Ubi's track record is very shaky in my eyes right now....until they PROVE otherwise.....but because they have us by the balls (meaning the only company willing to invest in WW2 Subsims) they can do whatever they want.

Exactly what I was going to say.

A Kraken to torpedo maybe? (giant squid)

:rotfl:

Hopefully they'll add some mermaids sunning themselves on the fantail.

And don't forget Godzilla. We will be in Japanese waters.
