Got it from my buddy at ebgames, yup, I know, before it hits the stores, crap happens.
Just wanted to say, the screens you guys see? Ya, they were not photoshoped like I thought, REALLY amazing effects, the 1 major failing is there is NO AA, I have tryed everything I can think of and I cant get AA to work.
But I will admit, as a graphics artist, I am really impressed with the filters, I can just spend HOURS looking at how pretty this game is, to bad its impossible to play, I dotn like reading manuals adn for the life of me I cant figure out how to fire torps rigth lol.... aw well. this game tho.. its going to to be a 5 star game easy, the grahpics are AMAZING.
Hopefully we will have a AA patch soon
Welcome to the forums, Jason!
Glad you are enjoying the game. If you don't mind, would you please take the time to post which city you got your copy in, inside the "SHIV is in my hands...." sticky above? We are keeping an ongoing list of where the game is popping up.
Thanks!

He posted at 9:54 pm and probably went to bed, but even graphic artist have to eat ... so maybe he'll be back.
JasinSK where are you?
I hate manuals too ... FSX and I get along real good without a stinking manual.
If I can't find out what I'm doing wrong online ...
I wouldn't need the internet. :know:

I work at a computer store and i got it last night, yes AA works, make sure u have it manned and press space bar to fire (not mouse button)
EDIT-LOL
Oh i thought u were talkin about the subs anti aircraft guns(AA) not Anti-aliasing, yes it doest have that, but it supports high res, like am runnin @ 1600x1200 max graphics on my 8800 GTX and its so gorgious i played 3 patrols last night before i had to go to bed. IN my 2nd patrol i went up against a task force off the coast of honshu, and sank 2 BBS luckily it was hvy fog and i had Surface Radar. Tons of DDs i was lucky, killed a tanker 2 bbs and a light cruiser. However one of the bbs got a lucky hit on me while i was tryin to find him via radar in the fog, killed my entire deck/look out crew. Man this game roxs. My dad cant wait for his copy which i ordered for him off of amazon(they would only let me have one copy at work)

That was great. Perhaps all AA complaints should be handled this way?

Do you live in the USA? If so could be good news if USA Stores already have the game and are waiting to release day.
Congrats on the *early* acquisition!:up:
I have copied your first post into the "I have SH4 in my hands" thread already.

lol.. sorry guys, I literly posted then crashed, sick today, for real lol, so im staying home.
I got it at ebgames in alberta. From a buddy who works there, he usually slides me the games as soon as they come in, on the qt of course.
The lack of aa is frustrating(anti-aliasing), but the graphics are really amazing, I cant stress it enough, I still have not cracked the manual, um, there is a lot in this box, I was suprised, there is a nice map, a sweet ref page, its been a while since a game has atually COME with a map lol!
I'm running them maxed, 1680x1050 on my 8800gts with max detail and it doesnt even burp.
I really should read more,b ut its to much damn fun, to bad I cant post pics.. Ir eally cant belive the graphics, you can dive so deep the screen is basically black, I play on the second hardest so I can use the exterior views, graphics are 2 pretty to pass up.
Oh, another thing, the damn sea floor, has TONS of stuff!!! rocks, massive weeds, and its not level like silent hunter 3.. granted I was hardly hardcore at that game.. in fact.. I sucked.. but it always bugged me how there was nothing down there.
Also ships seem to have some sort of dynamic damage, I shot at a freighter point blank range and I SWEAR I punched a hole in it right where the shell hit it!
Goign to go give her a whirl here again in a bit, see what I can come up with.

Jason is a good salesman ... :up:
Don't you understand Jason ... you are likened to one of the first people to have actually seen a UFO ...
tell us more or we will nuke alberta just to get you.
I have friends serving on FBM submarines that can make it look like an accident :yep:

Accident eh..... LOL
I wish I knew how to post up screns, the odd thing im finding is the lack of aa is REALLY apprent, I dont get why.. its full rez yet.. its more jagged then it should be, going to hit the topics here and see if I Can figure out how to get it working.
Oh ya, the detail, like I said is amazing.... I did a quick run up to toyko and was cruising around and found ships just sitting in dock.... I would have found more if I had not run aground... got stuck... depth charged... then sunk.... lowsly destroyer....

I feel your pain.
The worst part is a large chain retailer near me received copies today (in person confirmation), but won't release them until Friday. That's the most frustrating part.

Actually my biggest complaint today was that the game *DIDN't* look like the screen shots posted, nothing like them, merely a suped up version of SH3, when you watch in action cam it gets slightly better, and there didn't be any way of making them better.
Still gorgeous, but not whats in the ''screenies''

All I really see is a downgrade in image quality due to the size limitations of the Image Hosting sites.
