Mindless Q and A nonsense from Ubisoft .

20.01.2010

Will it be possible to hear sounds like depth charge explosions and sinking ships (even whale songs?) with the hydrophone? This didn't work in SH3.

Negative on the whale songs, for now. However depth charges and sinking ships will most likely make it in, and overall we feel the hydrophone station / crew member will be more useful than in the previous games.

Will there be more atmospheric sound in the uboat compared to SH3? I'd like to hear some talking, laughing and snoring from time to time.

Since the player is free to roam in a 3D environment, that environment should be believable and immersive. Yes, those kinds of sounds are an important part for this and some of that will be seen / heard in the game.

basically they feel it's more important to listen when "Frenssen farts" than what's going outside of the sub?
after all they said you WILL hear the atmospheric sounds from within the uboat but the sound of depth charges will only "most likely make it in"

when Frenssen farts... get it? just like in Das Boot

maybe you'll even be able to put an oxigen mask on...

To me how the hydropne works as well as the Peri and Uzo are more important than having all the rivets in the right place if you get my drift.

Oh what exciting news! Sounds in the boat, I certainly wasn't expecting that! Just imagine, we'll be able to sit at the Sound Operators desk, put on some headphones and actually listen to the sounds of depth charges and boats sinking....I tell yer, the person who thought that baby up should get promoted right now!

Most likely?!? They didn't say, will, they said most likely. Which leaves room for doubt that it might not.

I will not be surpised if SH5 ships with the sonarman NOT vocalizing "Depth charges in the water" . They did that in SH3 as i understand (later patched), the did it again with SH4 (and they never fixed it, so now we have this depth charge splash warning mod to work around it instead), So don't be surprised if it remains broken.

no, not at all. I personally love the scene when they surface to finish off one of the ships from the convoy.

anyhow, it was a joke...

I wonder why they wont have whale sounds?

No whales in game. Unlike GWX.
