What can I expect from SH4?

[macky]

There seem to be a load of positive posts, but more than a few negative ones too:doh:

I am expecting my delivery of SH4 tomorrow or Monday. Any chance you could let me know what to look out for? Anything that I am going to see and enjoy and anything I am going to think, what the hell!

I am going to be running on a minimum graphics card, ati radeon 9600 but with 1.5Gb of ram, all the other specs are fine. No aa concerns (so no need to add that:p )

Has the patch that is out fixed many of the bugs? Should I install the patch straight away or try it "out the box" first?

btw, I am one of those non-technical "eye candy" sailors who needs help and has never manually targeted and would never dream of 100% realism:yep: I only became involved with SH3, loved the genre and really looking forward to SH4:up:

Well I think what has happened is that the SH4 engine is based on SH3 ver 1.0, as most of the early problems are back again.:nope: The unfortunate thing is that only the old devs knew how to apply the 1.4b patch, so it's a whole new game of re-inventing the wheel by the new devs.:damn: Most frustrating!:doh:

Bloody Hell! That almost negates the advantages of using the same engine twice!

expect the unexpected unless the unexpected is expected if u catch my drift?

I'm just curious.. are you guessing? Are you serious? I mean, how could the SHIV Dev Team not have an archive of the source already patched to 1.4b available to them. And why in the heck would they not use it? :doh: Well hmm, I guess that is the question, huh. :hmm:
