So am I the only one...

... that's wondering what's on that bonus disc?

Or is this not the final/official cover?

I'm always glad to see some historical footage included in games. Men of War: Red Tide, for example, has some nice shots of the Russian marines in action, and you unlock bits of diaries from some of those marines as you complete the game. The bonus disc that comes with Dangerous Waters is just "pure win".

I'm really curious to see what we'll be treated to this time (given it's the actual cover).



Sorry if this was brought up already, but it's hard to tell with everyone so busy posting new threads... or should I say threats?

Probably the same crap that was on the SH4 bonus DVD. In this case, A documentary explaining the uboats involvment in the ATO. Probably from periscope films.

I wasn't aware SH4 came with a bonus-disc at some point.

Personally I'd be happy to see some added value, even if the rest of the world will just pass it off as "crap", or is still waiting for that apology noone owes them.

But maybe that's just me.

Yup. In SH4's case they had to. Most people probably know more about plate techtonics then they do about US fleet submarines. I have to admit, the post war propaganda films included were hilariously bad by today's standards.

Heh, that might still be the case. And the same thing probably applies to the U-boot.

Think you hit the nail on the head; some kind of doc to put what's happening in the game into perspective, and possibly explain some of the mechanical/technical workings of a submarine. (correct me if I misinterpreted)

* and again, I think getting a bonus disc with rare footage is better than nothing, to say the least

MY SH4 bonus disc consisted of 2 scratchy b+w very short clips and a bunch of ads. And the link to Peri Films didn't even work.

Could be a reason to justify a high retail price.

Maybe a documentary on Atlantic storms and waves... as compensation for missing it in-game
