A New Interview With Realism Consultant for SHO

[Diopos]

"Compromise" is not a problem per se. The extent of compromise might well be ...

Do you think the periscope not ever seeming to move is a compromise or perhaps its welded into a fixed position for historical realism on account of some secret 360 degree optics.

It looks to me like a throwback to SH2. Of course I prefer the newer versions, in which all that can be seen is the lens view itself and the relevant gauges and things.

After overanalyzing three Silent Hunter games while in development, I've learned to just relax and wait until it's released to pass judgement.

You realise this is a browser game... right?

Is that also a compromise?

[Nexus7]

Gives a serious impression, and judging from his eyes, an high workload

As he pronounced the word "compromise" it seems to see he'd have preferred to avoid that word (why ? )

But the word "facts" is pronounced as well, and the reconstruction and implementation of historically accurate navigation maps (Indian ocean ecc.) for the first time, is an improvement punkto realism.

They could easily have put it on a DVD and sold it to us, but instead they chose to try something different. There are of course compromises with these type of games, but that doesn't make them bad, and if it gets SH out to a wider audience, then the more the better.

Sometimes I think the people on this forum don't want any more sub games, especially when every game released since SH3 is subject to this endless cycle of doom and gloom. Be glad they're doing anything with it at all, because after the heat they incurred with SH5, I'm surprised that they're still trying.

What's the difference?

A sim is still a video game, and I'm honestly shocked that anyone would think otherwise.

There are a few instances where this is not the case, but those are for the most part confined to military applications, and definitely nothing SH related.

We are playing games, which attempt to simulate reality, and I place emphasis on the 'attempt'.

No, rubbish is what I call instant bashing when someone has a different opinion. Mind you, that's the norm around here, especially when someone happens to like these games.
