Silent Hunter V Dev Team Interview: Deeper, Kapitän, deeper. (1/19/10)

[flag4]

i'm not sure if this has been noticed or posted about but any way...

i have watched the trailer for No.5 and to me alot of the crew look like prison hard men, big muscular chaps with square jaws; and the cook is a bit of a cliche too - a scrawny, dirty looking runt.

the reality is very different. ordinary men and boys with lean normal faces ie. from late teens to early thirties. and of course there is always the exception but alot of these chaps look like they are on steroids -
mid- thirties hard men.

where are the soft young faces, kind looking - normal lads?

That "realistic" look does not sell games.

Rememer, it is not about reality...it is about emotion....and $$$.

That exact complaint (at least the "muscular" part) was made about SH3 as well. It will be interesting to see how the various crew members look as we actually play. I'm also curious to see how many actual different body types and faces will be in the game.

Well I hope we can import some faces somehow. I will make a crew of Sailor Steves
