Ubisoft announces Silent Hunter 5

BulSoldier · 08-17-09, 01:39 PM

I have played sh4 for a very short time but to me it looked a bit enchanted sh4 graphic engine aswell. And you are right, noone mentioned wolfpacks , lets hope they have just forgot to announce them...

I'm saddened they didn't include an option to switch roles and play surface ships as an adversary.

*blows dust off of profile*

ooohh yea baby!

cant wait for this to come out.. one new 3d card here i come!

*EDIT*

Ok, watched the trailer.. hmm i agree some german voices with subtitles would have been more.. atmospheric for the trailer. Gameplay looks good, i think though that one or two of the shots could have been pulled straight from SH4.

I agree the people need to have an option. Personally i used is to enhance my german!
Kleine fahrt feraus! please excuse my terrible spelling.

It would be pretty funny if they added all the semi-useless interior stuff and didn't have surface combatants capable of using torpedos, as well as cooperating friendly subs—and enemy subs.

They had to add fully AI (working) subs. They had to.

Long awaited and worth waiting
HAPPY HUNTING

Mouth... watering. Must... have... Silent Hunter 5!

Looks like this will be the game that's going to make me buy that new computer!

It'll be good to put on my Kapitaen-Leutnant's cap once again and set out into the Atlantic on the hunt for fette beute. I can't wait!

For those of you who are upset that it's not US Boats, please remember, that sub simulations are a dime a dozen. Sure, this time around it's U-boats, but, in order for there to be even a Silent Hunter 6, Silent Hunter 5 must sell, and sell well.

Support the future the developers and the community by purchasing 5. Show UbiSoft and the world that Sub Simmers are not dead, and will support all new developments in the future. That way they will keep developing Sub sims and you'll eventually get what your asking

I'm really happy to see something on the horizon,something to look forward to nxt yr

Beery · 08-17-09, 07:18 PM

For those who are unhappy that it's not a US sub sim, since SH3, US subs get the even numbered Silent Hunters. It's the Germans' turn. If SH5 does well, SH6 will be for US subs. Meanwhile, SH4 is still a great sim.

For those who want Cold War or anything else, that's not what the Silent Hunter series does. SH is all about WW2.

Subnuts · 08-17-09, 07:16 PM

It's way too early to tell right now, but my feelings are mixed right now. The trailer is incredibly dodgy - it actually managed to crush my initial excitement. The graphics? Well, they're obviously unfinished, but the crew still look like glossy superman. Can't judge yet. As for the first-person walkthrough? Could care less. If I wanted to study the interior of a U-boat, I'd just go online and "tour" U-995, U-505, and U-2540, read U-boat War or U-boat War Patrol, or watch Das Boot again.

Mouth-foaming revisionism about the Pacific theater aside, the real problem with SHIV is the horribly counter-intuitive interface and the number of fist-pounding bugs remain in even the most recent patch. I hoped Ubi has learned from their past mistakes, but I expect the release date to be pushed back a few months. I also expect that mod-makers will have a field day with this one. Five years from now, we'll have forgotten how flawed the sim was when it was released (and it certainly will be, going by Ubi's past record), and view SH5 through heavily-modded, rose-tinted glasses.

I'm pleased for all you ATO captains, and BZ to UBI for making another sub sim!

Happy Hunting!
