@AOTD_MADMAX

We have a pretty incomplete picture here wouldnt you say?

I mean there is no telling which of that is filler material, temporary GUI etc.

We have no way of knowing that until it is released.

I would suggest a moment of relaxation to return clarity to the situation. Time, and ONLY time will tell what ubisoft truly has in the works.

I am in total agreement with you on the health bar... total nonsense even for a novice player.

And i am less than thrilled with the periscope interface and GUI as a whole

however... as a total package, so far im enjoying what Ubisoft is sharing with us.

remember... time and patience

That dark GUI design reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe an OS or an application out there...

I have to agree with that. This is probably very close to what will be in the game.

I also think your way Maddy... only about 6 weeks to fix bugs.. then will be release. There will be no different GUI... that´s what we´ll get

The only think I liked about the periscope view was the black sorrounding it...aka like your actually looking through it.

I didnt of course like that fact that it is small and all the fluff around it. When I look through the periscope I only want to see what someone would see looking through a periscope...have me back out of that view (or just use the keyboard) to give depth speed rudder changes or make it a popout menu. This "maximizes" the view through the periscope and is more realistic.

I didnt like the outline thing of the charactors when you look/cursor over them. loved the SH3 where they look at you.. at least that was the impression I got.

The one thing I really noticed was the clouds through the Periscope...they looked really good (have not played SH4...so i can not compare...but much better than sh3)

the wait continues!

Important for what ??

It is an nice bonus for more Athmosphere but not important for an good Subsim.
Remember, as an Kaleun your are planning your attack at the Periscope, not in the engineroom.
In this case the most time in a battle your are lookin to the periinterface.
If this is stupid to handle and also very bad looking, the game got an bad atmosphere.

Yeah but a bad interface is also not important for a good Subsim. We don't know if it's good or bad until we get to play it.

edit: it just looks bad (or different), it's probably very functional.

I understand what you're saying, I'm just trying to have a little bit of fun. We've still got a couple months until release, and even if the interface doesn't look right, I'm sure the talented modders here will come up with something like they did for SH3/4.
