May be those guys are very highly trained, that even in moments like these
(a flooding sub), they remain calm and wait for captain's orders

surely they vould have found a more subtle way of crew members aknowledging your commands other those hideous speech bubbles, and the way the things you can interact with are outlined could be more subtle too.

Hopefully modders will deal with that but other than that it looks very good lets just hope the sim part matches the eye candy ( cause atm we dont really know for sure how it will play as a sim )

Anyways am onboard an looking forward to March

[Arrakis]

Has anyone noticed if the crew if talking??

from that video and the others posted by Neal I've only seen the crew nodding or turning their head without reactions to the captain orders.

for a total interactive crew simulation, it looks like we'll be quite alone in the sub with guys that communicative.....

[Ragtag]

Hmm maybe the player forgot to give the order "battlestation". I noticed this order in one of Neals vids.

Flooding is neatly done, cracked valves and electric sparks; Diesel room is pretty awesome.
The crew sitting idle while under flooding situation had been mentioned in an earlier preview, they wait till you assign them to a repair team (hopefully animated). This might be fixed in the release version or will be patched/modded.

Under the hood, lots of added functionality and interaction code, these will allow the modders to get creative, things that devs started/left unfinished can be realized.. Of course there are still funny stuff, why is the damn periscope still raised on surface, bet you this is a preview bug... Overall the excitement continues to rise

i,m wondering this myself. Either its because its still a preview version or the crew members dont say anything exept what is shown it the dialog boxes .

Same concern here. I too wonder if this is a "preview" thing.

It would be a serious immersion killer if it was so .

I would be amazed if looking at the effort they have put in elsewhere they would choose to go down the router of silent acknowledgement from the crew!

I too hope this just a preview thing.

The other thought I had was maybe the ... in the balloons is a placeholder for language files? But even then I hope thats an option and there will be voices.

Worst case scenario it can be modded - there are plenty of sound bytes of english and german voices from movies and also SH3/4 and the community.

[Arrakis]

It looks like the crew will have the same behavior as SH3 characters...except that in SH5 there will be more of them...

That would indeed be an immersion killer without any sounds, conversations or shouting during crash dives... The title would be like SH3 --> with time you don't even look to your crew anymore.


Let's hope Onelifecrisis is right....it has to be a preview thing!

It will interesting to see what can be done with the crew in terms of numbers and animations without making a clipping nightmare. I don't know what what would be better, a relatively static crew, a la SHIII/IV, or a bunch of more dynamic guys occasionally sticking their arms through walls and each others' heads.

[mookiemookie]

The crew lounging in their bunks while the ship is sinking around them is a huge "wtf?". I really hope something is done about that in the release version.

It's one more item to the list of the "guide for crappy marketing".

You have to understand, we Americans have very delicate egos, and getting served before everyone else is very importantant for our self esteem.
