Preview/In game video

[Fire]

In the new german game Magazine "Gamestar" is a preview for SH5

I haven't read it yet, but there are some Infos in the german Forum coming up slowly.

One is this:

Was mich mehr besorgt ist die Info aus der Gamestar, dass die Besatzung teilnahmslos im Boot rumsteht und kaum animiert ist.

Free Translation:

What's bothering me most is the Info from Gamestar, that the Crew is standing apathetic in the boat and very little animated


Other info in another thread, this time from a preview video for premium-mebers from that magazine.

Conclusion in the Video:

Es gibt eine sogenannte Ubisoftkrankheit, d.h. sie haben in ihren Spielen der letzten Jahre immer eine tolle Spielwelt gehabt, super Grafik, super Atmosphere ...aber sie nicht vernünftig füllen können. ...So ist es leider auch bei Silent Hunter 5 wieder der Fall

Free Translation:

There is a so called Ubisoft-sickness, this means they had a great world in their games in the last years, great graphics, super animations, but they can not properly fill it. Unfortunately it's the same with SH5


P.S. Maybe some of the german users are premium members to that magazine and can watch the video and give us more informations.

There is nothing new to see in the video, two presenters talk about SH5 and some scenes from the well known campaign trailer are shown.

The preview-version tester reported that one can move through the whole sub like in a first person shooter, but the crew only looks silent through you as you were invisible and they could not see you. According to the testers there are no talks as they were shown in the first launch trailer. In any case in this version he played he could not converse with the crew and the crew has not talked to him.

In the end they still talked about a German Gaming-Press buzzword, the so-called Ubisoft disease, wich means that Ubisoft lately produce good-looking games on the market which has all the great graphics and fantastic atmosphere like Assassian Creed, FarCry2 or Prince of Persia but had offered playful little short content. Then the tester said that is unfortunately be the case again with SH5 and there is much room for improvements for a Silent Hunter 6.

It has been reported nothing so far. The Gamestar wrote today that they received a preview version and will test it the next days in preparation for a own preview for their print issue in Feb.

Wobbly cartoon graphic is turning towards us captain. What shall we do now Sir ?

a) Panic.
b) Bin this whole crew interaction idea.
c) Show our fans how much we dont listen and continue with it.
d) Become a gushy optimist who loves everyone.

And the torpedo scratches along the conning tower...
