Ubisoft announces Silent Hunter 5 News

PC News by Tom Bramwell

18 August, 2009

Ubisoft has unveiled Silent Hunter 5 for PC and said the latest in the submarine simulation series will be released in early 2010.

Silent Hunter 5 builds on past instalments by introducing a new first-person captain's view for inspecting the inside of your German U-boat, and also promises a new user interface that should tick boxes for beginners and veterans alike.

Check out our Silent Hunter 5 screenshot gallery for the first images of the game.

Developer Ubisoft Romania intends for you to interact with your crew as you saunter around in first-person (presumably not bunny-hopping), issuing orders and plotting your strategy for engaging those pesky Allies.

We're also told to expect "new locations, upgrades and resupply possibilities", along with Allied ships that readjust dynamically to your actions, and a campaign that evolves depending on them.

The game's being shown at gamescom in Cologne this week.

Well here's hoping that it isn't a bug ridden mess of a game with most of the major features being broken like Silent Hunter IV was on first release.

Bought SH 3 a couple of weeks back. It's still a very good game. I didn't quite like the fourth one when I tried out the demo. Hopes this is at least as good as the third.

Anyone know how to get any from a sub hunter in IV? And yes tharr be bug aplenty in that one.

All that aside I would take a chance on this one too. First person view, being able to move around seems good. At least you could move away from the guy at the table with the map giving you the evils all the time.

Dreadful trailer. At least its not long to wait. Will be waiting to see if its playable before parting with my cash this time round.

I assume this will remain PC only?
