I am glad its based on sh4 . The modders know the file structure backwards and we get 1st person and better graphics . It will be like going from XP to Vista

SH4 was gorgeous...im not sure what else they could do superficially to improve. The core mechanics was good and improved upon significantly by mods, so there is a lot of potential there.

With a few graphic improvements and mechanics tweaks, I think SH5 could be another beautifully rendered and well modeled improvement over SH4.

This is one of the few times I can say that Im willing to embrace a build off of the previous release. But they need to use the time and resources saved on true filling out the short comings from SH4.

Do that first and add more eye-candy second.

Re-using SH 4 and all the knowledge they build up with SH 3 and 2 is great. It gives them the posibility that they can extent the game with more features. Nattydread I fully agree with you as well as Sober's remark about moddability. At the end we want to have a good simulation and not an arcade shooter.

A fired torpedo may cause damage to other ships.

I pressed "Yes" and you know what happend?
WO: "Torpedo missed Sir. Torpedo crossed target astern."
KaLeun: "What??? I set TDCs torpedo speed to Fast. Did you do the same to the torpedo?"
WO: "It´s out of my scope. Must be a bug of the Game Engine..."

So beloved devs, if you build your new engine ontop of SH4 then dont even think of releasing SH5 with such bugs. Otherwise I personally come to Romania and kick someones ass. That´s a promise.

Not what I'd consider a convincing argument, lol.

I have actually grown to hate SH4,

but that is my own personal view!!

Thanks God SH5 is "all new code"!!

JU_88 · 09-10-09, 07:02 AM

The game is 6 months or so from release, whats done is done.
Judge the SHV on its own merrit when you get to play it.
Worrying about it makes no difference, (and making threats is just being childish)

I found this sentence from the devs on the ubi forum:

Code:

We’ve changed the water and terrain rendering engine, solving the bugs that prevented this in the previous version and increasing the rendering distance too.

to me, this sounds like they took the old engine with new elements. this gives them more time to think about new features an d more time for beta testing, i think...

karamazovnew · 09-10-09, 11:09 AM

Some of you will be eating their own words when the next screenshots are posted

.

"Uhmmm.... Ok, it's not SH4. Definitly not SH4.

"

I hope it won't be me tho...

Reece, what is not to like about SH4 (ok, no list please

)? I love SH4. Not just for the PTO but the graphics are excellent. After all the modding the game is great to play. It runs flawlessly on my Vista machine. Anyway, from what I gather a lot of SH4 will be found in SH5.
