Now we could see, the new service U-Play is in the menu

Thanks for the post. The 4 patches (if we get them) have now been confirmed...

We managed to play a preview copy of SH5, but it was apparent that it was not near completion. In one mission I managed to actually hit my target with the nose of my sub, and when I fired my torpedo, unbelievably it went around its target and completed its straight course. I’m not quite sure about the outcome of such situation in real life, but at least the torpedo should detonate on impact, deviate, but not make a full turn around the ship’s hull! Another annoying thing is the need to be hooked to internet to play SH5. The preview copy would freeze if the internet connection was lost, and to launch the game, I had to logon to Ubisoft services first!

Good find. I learned a little more about the game.

One thing is it has a setting for "Newbs" and one for "Experts".

Should be "Newbs" and Subsimmers

All of these previews seem to be the same high level overviews by normal well adjusted people who aren't sub freaks. I doubt we'll get any information on the things we care about until Neal publishes his.

Thanks for sharing , finally a english preview. But why was the second part in arab? Or was it the same as the english part.
One more thing. Does anyone else noticed in the 3rd picture with the menu the u-boat is tied up to the right side of the pen with a rope? or is just that me?

I have fallout 3 but no it doesnt remind me of it.

Must be something like this:

Three guys lazily hanging out while waiting for the player character to come to talk to them and give him a quest. Can't help myself, it just does remind me of it The lighting, the leather clothes...

I'm looking on the first screen and it looks good! Physics and dynamic shadows are existing and looks correctly. The bugs are connected with additional light, not visible on this scene.

Main light should give the shadows, secondary - not.
But this is scene problem only, not physics or code.

Could someone comfirm the u-boat is tied to the pen with a rope? on in the last picture?

Either the crew members are midgets or the torpedo room is the same size as a small church!

If you look closely, you will see that the man leaning on the railings is welding the U-Boat's damage with his super laser vision eyes.

Either that or it's the network cable mentioned in the review.

Well, it looks like connectivity with server IS a problem. Imagine whay it may be like when hundreds if not thousands of players will log in.

Otherwise, this preview answered a few questions, I would certainly buy the game if they get rid of that cursed DRM/OSP.
