Ubisoft announces Silent Hunter 5 - Page 5

JMV · 08-17-09, 02:36 PM

I bet you that 75 % of us will have to buy a new PC with top notch graphic card... Well, for those that will be able to afford it...

+ German U-Boat crew not having even the slightest german accent... It's starts badly. It's gonna be all eye candy probably, and will leave a heap of unsolved bugs... If only they could lean from SH3 and 4.

Thank you I stay with SH3. Can't buy a 3000 or 4000 Euro new PC anyway,
sniff...

Looks pretty intriguing to me.

The German Trailer plays much, much better. It gave me the jolt of excitement a new Silent Hunter title should.

That being said; SH5 was supposed to be written from scratch using all-new code. Close inspection of the trailer footage seems to feature a slightly enhanced SH4 engine (with dynamic-shadows finally enabled), which was in turn based on the SH3 engine. That code is atleast 6 years old and it's starting to show. I understand the economic reasons for this, but as we all know, SH4 was heavily flawed upon release and now resembles a battle-scarred warship limping back to Port after being patched at sea. The aircraft campaign model being one issue that has never been satisfactorily resolved (a hard-coded problem?), even by the extremely talented Modding Community.

However, this trailer may in fact be nothing more than a marketing tool utilising a jazzed-up version of SH4 just for promotion purposes. This trailer may even have been put together before any new code had been written.

Anxious to see more screen-shots of actual gameplay, rather than the full-motion video we'll all skip passed during the loading sequence.

I kind of wish it was cold war but oh well, this looks like it will still be sick

Wiating for it... Hope that it will not be "Bugs of the Atlantic" like SHIV was "bugs of the Pacific".
