SILENT HUNTER IV DEV DIARY

Stand by for incoming Ultra. I am updating the SH4 Dev Diary Part 1 now, it will be online in a few minutes.

Here it is, 12MB rar zipfile with three screens and a 1:27 minute Windows Media file trailer.

or

http://files.filefront.com/sh4_dev1r.../fileinfo.html

Let me know in this thread if you experience any trouble downloading the file.

Its been clamped for bandwidth already

Subsim Monitor · 10-20-06, 11:22 AM

I think the link was broke, looks like Gizz fixed it

Safe-Keeper · 10-20-06, 11:54 AM

It's awesome, promising, and authentic. And I haven't even downloaded it yet

!

Edit 5 mins later:
WOW! Interior shot, and a sunset shot with beautiful waves (stand by for concept art vs. real screenshot-debate

).

Nice, nice, nice. And if you watch the dev diary, it seems your sub's finally getting a search-light, too.

Good stuff. I like the idea of the Dev diary.

Jimbuna · 10-20-06, 12:51 PM

I believe the search light will not be static. What good is a search light if you cannot search with it? You have to admit, if they did make it usable it would be a neat feature. Anyway, it looks like a winner of a sim already. I cannot wait.

Really, Really cool!

Great job guys, keep it up!!!!

Looks like they worked on the water textures a bit.

Agreed. That's nice

woah, great! thanks!

I really like the idea of a video update of SH IV as it comes to "life". That builds interest and excitement for the release.

And let the "fat guy" alone. He happens to be eating his way to a pacific victory!

Based on what little we've seen so far, I think it's clear that SH4 will offer graphical enhancements that are tangible but not radical. Good news for those with mid range systems. The Diary is great PR, and involves the customers in the journey of the development of the game.

Does anyone here know if the first picture in the archive is an in game screenshot? It looks too good to be true.

Also, did anyone notice the reddish hue in the screenshots? Or am I seeing things?

A great job the dev team did on this game here.
