Subsim Videos: Silent Hunter 5

Pretty nice video, thanks Neal!

However, two things bug me:

1. The Sound guy reports ship contacts while the submarine is still on the surface and doing 6-7 knots( "Halbe fahrt")... Is this possible? I don't thinks so.

2. The watch officer (or somebody from the crew) reports new ship contacts whispering. Why does he whisper while the submarine is on the surface and the diesel engines are still working? I can see no point in it.

Sorry for the "negative vibes".

Oh, great! I didn't notice those.

1) I did see that in some of the preview screenshots. I had hoped it would be gone in the release version, and it still might be. I'm worried to find that the preview version still has it.

2) This is a bug that go all the way back to SH3. The only time the crew should ever whisper is when I order silent running.

And, in my opinion, pointing out an actual flaw is not having "negative vibes", just good sense.

Agreed, as long as it is said in a constructive way. @Matyas

but i am very upset, seeing those robot crew...the animations are not smooth and realistic. reminds me of sh3 somehow...why dont the use motion capture? we have 2010...and even sports games have much better animations...

I was wondering the same thing.

The more I look at the vids the more the game looks good. I look forward to playing it.

Sports games are popular and lucrative, submarine simulations are not. Im suprised they are still even making new silent hunters. The purpose of a business is to make money, not necessarily to deliver a quality and satisfying product.

That's why I use Linux as my main OS.

To be fair, sports games have some of the best animations out there... and the reason is that player movements and actions is _exactly_ what sports games try to recreate. It's what the player looks at and controls all the time. It would be a very bad thing if those animations weren't excellent.

SHV is a sub simulation, and obviously their primary focus will be elsewhere. It is rather unfair to expect the same animation quality than in sports games.

Plus, as was already mentioned, there is a budget issue. SHV is not a AAA title, no simulators are these days, I fear.
