Our friend The Abyss posted it already here, but I thought something as big as this deserved it's own thread.

Any German speakers willing to give us a translation?

mookie Wow !!! I'm going to watch that a few times with pauses and see if I can figure out the new way of playing this sim

The comment doesnot add much to what we already knew. Strange interface by the way. It's SH4-like. Text is:

At the right top you can change viewpoints. The suggest that the inside is like an old U-boot from then. You can talk to crewmembers and they make some small hints to a famous U-boot movie as they enter the engine room. At the exercise-alarm (also in that movie) it is told that left bottom depth can be controlled. In the overviewcard you can steer the boat and set waitpoints which is done in the example with 8 time TC to speed it up. Then they show a mission in which the boot should defend a harbor against a large enemy group. They come to business fast and prepare torpedo tubes. Important is torpedo depth and making sure the torp isn't running under the enemy ship. When everything fits it's fire at will and soon carried out. And as it gives a lot of fun the second own follows direct after. In the beginning of 2010 this can also be achieved by you as then SH is released for PC.

that seals it for me

we were beyond any doubt viewing platform XBOX 360 in game footage

hopefully one can disable health bars... or perhaps this feature is unique to platform newbs

Why do you think it's going to be out on XBOX when the guy said it will be out on PC?

why would he indicate that "SH5 will ALSO be released on PC"... therefore i deduced that he was demonstrating the Plat version

also... the WHOLE interface and semi-awkward movement of the First Person Cam just screamed platform to me.

however, there is a mouse cursor :-\

I remember reading somewhere a while back that you could indeed turn this off.

All i can say right now is... looks awesome.

though i am very disappointed in the Interface... this needs to be more Analog - it needs to have dials and gages on the interface... strictly avoiding digital indications wherever possible.

Wait I'm confused. SH5 will also be for consoles? If so, that can't be good news for us...

No it is PC only!

mookiemookie · 12-22-09, 01:04 PM

My blow-by-blow analysis:

@ 10:23 - One of the choices listed is a Type VIIA u-boat. Wonder if that's just a placeholder or if they're really including the VIIA's

@ 10:29 - menu says "rise periscope" instead of "raise"

@ 10:37 - I like the new nav map look. Looks very clean.

@ 10:42 - Marcus the smutje is back! I am guessing that's his soup meter. I hope that we're not stuck with the the funker and hydrophone operator being named "sound guy" and "radio guy"

@ 10:50 - conning tower looks great! Not sure how I feel about the interactive stuff like the periscope highlighting when you mouse over it

@ 11:11 - the engines vibrate! Nice touch!

@ 11:15 - "OBER ALARM!"?

@ 11:18 - please tell me we can turn off the popup tool tips

@ 11:40 - "Smoke on the horizon!" Great touch!

@ 11:42 - Please tell me that the gauge in the lower left..the "4321012345" is not my engine control. Hopefully that's a placeholder until we get a real engine telegraph dial.

@ 12:01 - That water looks awfully clear. More like Pacific or Caribbean water

GoldenRivet · 12-22-09, 01:07 PM

I believe what we are looking at here is the XBOX 360 platform version of Silent Hunter V.

Saw some things i didnt care for.... saw a lot I really liked!

we will all have to wait and see.

No! they say: Probe Alarm - exercise alarm... like in Das Boot.

Thanks for clearing that up. I love the way the guy says it. He sounds so serious.
