I second that. C'mon, there's so much interesting U-Boat footage out there.

Now just to give the point of view of someone who works with photoshop sometimes for a living, this cover design (white plain letters surrounded by black, the background for DVD-rom logo and a bunch of other things makes it looking out dated IMHO. Sort of like it was a cover for a game released 10-15 years ago... Am I the only one that has this feeling?

Nope!

Imagine the scene and you'll be pretty sure that someone who is not searching for SH5 in the first place gonna miss it! Nothings, colours don't stand out in the crowd, from afar it's just overladen, saturated with tiny details that colours do not make contrasting with each others. It's just a blurry mess of tightly scattered thingies of an overall whitish-reddish-blackish wornout tone...

While the cover is not going to influence wether i'll buy or not SH5 a single a bit. I DO care for the cover to some extent after all:
Because the more it will atracts people that were not going in to buy it in the first place, the more copies UBI will sell.
The more copies they will sell, the more likely we have some SH6 somedays
The more they surpasses SH3 number of copies sold, the more likely the devs will have better funding, thus the more likely SH will improve over next time...
And the cover has some parts to do with it, to a certain extent. It is called marketing, and i'm not sure this cover project is a living example that will stand out in the marketing crowd, thus not helping SH5 which has been already plagged with an incongruous and dubious marketing plan if not "silently running", to say the least...

Silence is a valid and could be a very effective marketing strategy IF there's high expaction among a big amount of people. Apple knows it very well for example! SH5 is no Apple...

A-frackin-men.

Although images in my head of bikini clad amish girls on the Atlantic being chased by blood thirsty carnivour zombies driving u-boats does afford an interest.
