It just looks so...bland. I was getting vibes of the original Silent Hunter from this video. Don't get me wrong, SH has held up pretty well for a 16 year old subsim, but so far, SHO doesn't really strike me as several generations more advanced that it.

Well that's inevitable, considering it's a game that is designed to run in browsers as a Flash application. It will inevitably look worse due to that (but will also have far wider compatibility and lower requirements as a result).

Reminded of the old arcade games when looking at the scope and the generic view of the ships. Not even a torpedo trail.

This video is not encouraging for the franchise as a whole.

I seriously doubt that a audience exists in enough numbers who would want to take such a step back from previous versions and settle for this browser based flash game that looks worse than some amateur efforts I have seen.

This whole thing has to be a joke, I can't see how they thought this was a good idea.
