"Nightclub" and other static immersion

Easy_Eight65 · 08-19-09, 04:10 AM

all really good suggestions for static immersion -- perhaps even some voice-over acting for the player promotions, awards ala the very first Silent Hunter...loved the fanfare aspect of that game.

...Voice-acted Reprimands as well maybe. (Bdu: "Be more agressive!") / dismissed or relieved from command, etc.

All the small things to make the world alive when playing is a great immersion giver and would be nice to have.

@JScones:
You has said it, Sir! Immersion is all. I remember old SH and AotD features like newspapers with news about your sub and war, nighclub, messages with congratulations from BdU, etc.
These little things make the sense.

Completely agree! Not only did Aces have newspapers announcing your successes - and your loss - but its companion game Red Baron included film clips of some higher-up hanging medals on you. SH1 had that wonderful "Attention to orders!" announcement every time you got an award (which was way too often, but that's a different complaint).

After seeing what they can do inside the sub now, I have to ask how hard it would be to have an animated nightclub with all the news and gossip recorded for you to hear.

An animated night club would be an excellent addition.....similarly the newspaper announcements.

Hm, good idea. I have a collection of Deutsche Wochenschau shows, which I can whach between patrols for immersion and timeline context.

Yea you should be able to get drunk, and get in a brawl, spray seltzer water on the entertainment and shoot up the place !

Oh and 'fireboat' drills too ! :rotfl:
