Default I don't agree the seawater of SH5

From the figure reflected in the seawater, I think it is the failure of the seawater.



But the splash to be successful .Not enough water reflection

no wind no waves no foam

Too early to tell really, in those pics not much wind.
Environment is supposed to be better in SH5.

It seems to be same as in SH4
I want to see real water finally that wakes crashes when sub/ship hits them...
Not just a textured sealevel that changes itself and run through the boat upwards/downwards without any collision (no more flying submarines in 15m per sec weather).
I hope they change this, but since engine seems to be pretty much ready by now, I really dont know.

I'd like to see a few more movie clips before making any judgement.

I think that is too early to judge the game,perhaps they will use a improved Sh4 engine with more effects and DX10 graphics, but with the enviroment mods could be really amazing

Game companies are notorious for touching up their screenshots, so I think making a judgment based on the two or three we have is very premature.

And graphic is not important.
Nobody will play perfectly graphical SH5 if this game is one big bug.

I found that looking at these screenies after sticking your head in an ice cold bucket of seawater makes them wet enough.

Das Boot bridge is a movie set on a stage with buckets of water being tossed on it and a big fan. I saw one just like it at Disney World. I don't want a movie set like Das Boot. I want a real submarine, or failing that, a good simulation of one.

No, I dont like the water (at this stage at least). The sub seems to be riding over a dull plastic bag full of water, no good reflections.

Yes, is too early to know how it will look like (not like THIS I hope!)

EDIT: my god, I can see dynamic shadow is NOT implemented at all (at least on exterior shots)..... how could this be? looks awfully a lot like SHIV engine....

No matter what they do in the end its a simulation and cannot reflect reality espically something as dynamic as water.

All they can do is some graphic representation of water. Furthermore keeping in mind that there is a limit to computing power and to put vast amounts of overhead in the game for 'perfect' water would bring alot of systemes to their knees. Some comprimise must be met.

In the end you cannot satisfy everyone, just do the best job you can and move on.
