Positive preview at SIMHQ

[ichso]

I have to say the reviewer has a strange understanding of simulation games as he proclaims SH5 is more simulation than the previous titles only because of walking around the sub. I think there is much more to the aspect on simulation than this.

Nothing new, but still it sounds really interesting. That makes me excited how it will play out in the final version and in the long run.
The previewer makes it sound like this has a deep gameplay impact. Which would be really nice. But it could also be more of a immersion-thing only, we'll see.

Some of the videos from the last time have shown this and here is a screenshot of this as well: sometimes there are waterdrops blurring the view although you stand on the bridge, not using the UZO or anything. This is a bit strange, perhaps you are wearing glasses in this game ?
