i would love using TrackIR

, together with a good physics engine for the interrior also, ie if the diving angle is to high, you have to grab something to fix you, otherwise... outch

I also hope there will be no more "separation" between interior and exterior world like in SH3/4. It would be great to be able to check your charts (or whatever), then climb the ladder to the conning tower, and to the bridge, discovering the sky and sea as you climb. Very atmospheric

yes, or even be able to dive out of your sinking sub, till the flooding level of tranparent water inside the central has reached the hatch and so on....

after reaching the surface, you have to swim of course, away from that aproaching sharks

, to maybe an approaching escort...

Seemless interior to exterior would be nice but could take a big toll on the poly and texture budget. That little hiccup in our PCs when we go from inside to outside now ain't for its own health. Perhaps the hatch could animate open, showing the sky directly above and it could fade to black (night) or white (day) and then back to normal as the exterior environment was rendered.

You're wrong there. The conning tower acts as an intermediary between the interior and exterior. As you climb the stair, which takes a few seconds, the exterior loads. It would be seamless and open up the possibility of flooding the sub if someone forgets to close the hatch

. No more teleporting from the deck to the CR when you stay those extra seconds as the sub crash dives... You drown

You'll see there is no problem with that

why i cant board other ships?11 wheres the sniper kit! This game suxx!11

Seriously, though... running? Sorry, but why on earth would that be a difficulty setting? The CO stayed in the control room or on the bridge 99% of the time during action. It's not as if he needed to run to the torpedo room to fire eels himself, he just stood there and gave orders. I think you're delving too deeply into this whole FP thing. /my opinion.

I don't think the first person will ever be required. Maybe they will add a "lock" on the first person mode as a difficulty option, much like No External Views in the current games.

My impression, too. FP will be a gimmick like the ability to man guns yourself, but not something you have to make use of.

maerean_m, you've got most of us very excited. I hope you'll pay for my new keyboard after it fails from being drooled on too much.
