Forced? Far from it.....
I don't know how to take your comment, literally or with a grain of salt?

As i posted before i apologised,
if i am over-reacting then accept my aplogies, it is kind of hard to "gauge" a comment "online, ie. if meant sarcastically, literally or otherwise.

im sure it wasnt meant at you or your thread but an overall assesment of the whole forum in general

after all UBI hasnt given us much of anything new to talk about even if we tried, i guess they want to build up the suspense but the customers are walking out of the store so they better release something soon to get people talking about the game again.

Meh.

Even without bringing the DRM, the campaign length, and the Type VII "limitation" into the conversaton, the graphics in that demo (I discount the official UBI "beauty shot" video which is most likely a mix of pre-rendered cut scenes interspersed with some limited and carefully selected in game stuff) just aren't that impressive. It's SH4... or at least not much better than what the modders did with SH4 in the 2 years or so since it was released.

And as far as gameplay goes? If the videos I've seen on Youtube (see the penetration into Pearl Harbor (1944 or 1945, in a Type VII) and the torpedoing of ships end-on in narrow docking "slips" from a range of maybe 50 yds, for example) are intended to highlight the best of what will be offered?... well I said it already elsewhere: We - the sub simULATION fans that hang out in forums like this - are NOT the target audience for this game.

I just looked the vids up on youtube. Since that doesn't look like anything UBI released recently I would guess that those are videos generated with SH4 and a Type VII mod. The interface looks very SH4 and the graphics are on a similar level. When it comes to eye candy you cannot realy say that SH5 wont offer enough. Just ... well ... the rest suffered a bit ...

What youtube clip are you talking about? I cant seem to find anything ! Anyway if there even was a pearl harbour penetration video on sh-5 i think it would have been posted here long ago.

Jeez,


Did I just saw an empty CT, a healthbar over a ship, and heard both english and US Navy OOGAHHH dive alarm?!? This is far worse I could ever believe...

Looks like SH4 to me.

AVG's right, yep.
You can see through any U-Boot's hull in SH5 as their pressure hull is not modeled in stock SH5.
And this video showing the VIIB doesn't feature the holes in its outer hull.
