The Giant Squid has to feed on something!

I'm not so optimistic on the marine life. The devs have already said there won't be any dolphins.

Just tell yourself the Japanese hunted them to extinction. It'll give you more incentive to sink their converted whale factory ships.

They just found a very big one off New Zealand, so for me New Zeland now has depth and realism

haha

That hull sure has a few holes in it. All in all it looks okay, except for the scale--the sub looks like a toy. But hey, it's better than what SH3 offered, so I'll take it.

Is there a trick to seeing this picture? It looks very dark. I see some plantlife up close but that's it.

As for seaweed growing to be 400', that's because no one mows down there. :rotfl:

I can see the image fine. Try adjusting your monitor's gamma, brightness and/or contrast and see if that helps.

Forget about veges look at the SHIV controls bar tis good, very good, its mint man, first time ive seen it cause im not viewing to much of SHIV pics they got up around sites including subsim as i want to be totally surprised when i get it.

Wont vegetation be a hogger on mid range PCs tho? Hope theirs a option to turn it off. Also now im at it i hope the damage repairs are way improved than SH3 - meaning slower times in repairing.

And heres hoping Neal will do a review on SHIV like he did on SH3

Technically they could. It's just that it was a one-way trip.

And once again my old argument crops up: it doesn't matter, because they couldn't really see outside anyway. Veggies and rocks on the bottom are silly.

i think the same

Also It could raise hardware requeriments, i hope too that it could be dissable or modded. for example with deffault sh3 texture.

It's game-play altering to have rocks and wrecks strewn throughout the bottom. It's a hazard to submarines and as such not just eye-candy. Making it an option would probably be a good thing, but would presumably introduce problems to an MP environment as everyone would have to have the same settings to join a server.
