In-sub Free Roaming | Forums

[S VIIC_41]

They mentioned the possibility of free roaming inside the sub when they said it was currently fixed camera positions.

What does everyone think of this? Personally it's probably the number 1 thing I want out of SHIII. They've already said pipes will spew out water and stringed up ham is going to tilt with the boat but being inside the sub walking around like an FPS would really give the whole experience a lot more atmospher. It'd make you feel like you were really there, just one man of many on a ship, rushing to the torpedo control station or whatever... that'd be cool.

When the boat lists, you could be thrown aside, maybe too hard a thing to be put in... but it could be harder to walk aft than forward if the boat is in a downward dive.

That'd be cool.

How important would free roaming be to you?

I definitely wouldn't mind waiting a while longer to be able to explore the u-boat properly. And seeing as the whole interior is going to be modelled anyway I wouldn't imagine it'd be TOO large a thing to put in.

Either way, I'm sure it'll be in SH4...

It will be indeed great too walk arround seeing crew working and the other shift sleeping!
But I think when in combat its not easy too do it on that way!
We surely need too get fast from one spot too the others!
Btw when there is a crach dive will wee see crewmembers running too the forward torpedoroom??

The Number 1 thing? really?

Although it would be nice It's not something that bothers me very much. The system they have just now looks fine IMO. I'd much rather they worried about the career mode, the AI, the physics and the weather than worry too much about the interior just now.

Maybe once they've got those things nailed they could get onto this. I'm not saying i'm against it but it's probably at the bottom of my list besides the mip mapped seagulls.

I would like to see water inside the boat and see it rise. That would be an excellent addition of realism. But I think it might slow down the game.

Yep, save the walkaround for SH4.

And model it like Splinter Cell, Metal Gear, Syphon Filter, and SOCOM with the 3D view rather than FPS.

Yea what we've seen from the in-game videos is quite satisfactory, in my opinion. I'm more concerned about how the sea will behave and things like that...
The 3D-view looks great

How about some options that would allow the game to run on older computers?

run slient run deep!

[Bertgang]

Nice option for me, and other old pc owners, but is it possible?

[Jeffmtct]

Yes this is really one good thing of this game thought maybe one of the top possibilities, this makes it a real sim ; and as i 've read, it seems there will be static cams in the posts that we access instantly with F1-12 keys i believe ; and as well if you wish you can move yourself in the boat but not all rooms ; i have not read torp room and i regret this ; but command, sonar, radio, ... like 5 rooms maybe.

If i dream a bit, i would say i hope that SH4 will have an option that unanable you to access to instant cams so you are really the commander and need to move along the sub.
