Silent Hunter 5 announced, has epic trailer photo

Submarines scare the living hell out of me. I'm not overly claustrophobic, but the thought of being stuffed into a metal tube underwater, knowing that if anything goes wrong that I'm probably going to drown -- probably in my top five least appealing ways to die -- is just terrifying to me.

That may be part of the reason why I find this new trailer for the just-announced Silent Hunter 5 to be so compelling. Narrated by a German U-boat captain (presumably the one you play in the game), it shows some of the raw nerve necessary to perform that job. Nerve that I don't have.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer. Silent Hunter 2 is expected to release on PC in 2010.

Mental Typo. Was Silent Hunter 2 your favourite?

Jeez, it's like 90% of the posts I make are typo corrections. I need more interesting things to say

Really just thought this said Silent Hill 5, Then I was watching the trailer like "...its taking place in a submarine? they lost it. they've lost their MIND."

I also read it as Silent Hill 5. Maybe it's the way the header pic looks

Yeah I think its the header image. Cracked mirror and creepy old guy with a beard? Yeah. This is the new Silent Hill 5, Submarine action horror?

I hate the Silent Hunter series, if only because my dyslexic brain always reads it as "Silent Hill", and gets my hopes up, if only for a nano-second. booooooooo.

I am also disappointed in the lack of Silent Hill 5.

no, Silent Hill Homecoming does not exist to me and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a remake of sorts.

Haha, I just watched a trailer to a stupid submarine game because I was expecting Pyramid Head to pop out at any second. How the HELL did we all read Silent Hill 5?!

"Submarines scare the living hell out of me."
the first line also convince my eye to see things i want to see.
Creepy old captain?chk,alternate submarine dimension with loads of broken identical doors?chk,flooding blood rooms?chk,Octopus head Davy Jones?maybe.

My friends'd been forcing me to play silent hunter.I think the learning curve is pretty high,i might try with them sometimes though.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I buy pretty much every sub sim, yet I don't play them.

And I know that I will buy Silent Hunter 5. Sigh.

Sure hope the German submariners don't have American accents and speech patterns in the full game.

@TheFlyingEgg: What are you talking about? Their accents seemed just as authentic as Tom Cruise's in Valkyrie...I could barely understand them. /sarcasm

Seriously though...what if it was Silent Hill...ON A SUBMARINE???

I just peed a little.
