I know these screenies are from an incomplete game.
However, regardless of the fact that I don't know the forward speed of the surfacing boat (above), there doesn't seem to be much/enough water disturbance around the sub at all.
Wouldn't the conning tower produce 'white water' as it breached the surface? Also, what about the bow wave and subsequent water disturbance along the entire length of the hull?
It just seems a little too 'clean'.:88)

I think the boat on zhaz screen surface at very low forward speed...this can be the reason for not see "whitewater" at the tower and the forward parts.....;)

That's what I thought, however, looking through this link - http://www.marinesims.de/site/silent-hunter-4/sh4-34.html I still don't see much in the way of water disturbance.
Does anyone have a screenie of a SH4 Sub surfacing or surfaced and running at speed?

IIRC the published minimum pc requirements are up from 1.4Ghz (SH3) to 2Ghz...yet RAM is still at an unbelievably low 512MB. :hmm:

You're right, I don't believe it. Well, maybe if you run the game in 240x320 resolution, black-and-white...
I've got 1.5GB RAM on my PC and I'll be amazed if THAT'S enough to reproduce what we've been seeing here.

Yeah touched pics are great, in game pics are just ok, slightly better than SH3. If this game needs some super pc, i only ask why? The new shaders and transparency are more than enough for me, to make SH4 look the way I want it to.
If the system-specs are raised substantially, than I only hope it's because AI objects will behave more realistic, demanding a faster CPU.
For example, look at SH3 aircrafts behave: their damage- and flight-model is a joke, imo....same goes for AI subs...but I don't want to complain, as I'm still enjoying SH3 very much.

The transparent surface looks great, unless you are in a submarine trying to be sneaky :P
I really hope the view distance is further in SH4. I hate seeing ships pop into view.
Good point, I wonder if the 8km default view distance of SH3 has been increased.

:rotfl: :rotfl:What? It's Parker's new anti-ramming tactic. He used it to great effect until his crew grew tired of cleaning up after the barrel-roll. Apparently everything not bolted down and secure would... move when the sub rolled around:shifty:.
We need to start up that "Funny SH4 images" thread again.

Any chance of a night-shot on those locations?
Well I don't make em, so I can't help you there. I too would like to see a night shot.
My theory on the lack of AA in the shots... the post processing effect they use looks like it has some form of HDR bloom. If it's anything like the bloom effect in SH3, it messes with the AA and makes it look pixelated. I think I might have the effect turned off once I get to play this.

ok, this msg is mostly for people who were at either one of the previews events.
First: concerning the marinesims underwater screenshot, is it a REAL screenshot or one provided by UBI as some kind of presskit? What I mean is: is there angled light rays in SH4 as in this pic?
Second: i recall an "old" photoshopped underwater screenshot. As i outlined on this pic, does this screenshot reflects the way light is fading through water in real SH4?
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/3064/02zk6.jpg
Or is it rather like this, much like in SH3 (pics from marinesims sh4 subs gallery):
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/9245/05ph2.jpg
wich brings a second question: in the first pic, we now knows there's no depth-of-field blurred bubbles floating around but is everything else (colour rendition, blooms, light fading, caustics etc...) completely faithfull to real SH4? cause there's quite a HUGE difference in quality between those 2 pics

The only thing I can "explain" is the plane: It has cought fire, perhaps as phosphorus grenade has hit the tale.:roll:

02-21-07, 10:57 AM
The ship on the far right side does dmoke, but it's hard to see. Do you know if that's an early screenshot? Perhaps some of the graphic effects did not work properly.
Safe-Keeper
02-21-07, 10:58 AM
The two wisps of cloud in that circle are probably from the battleship's guns.
As for the "2", it's probably a debugging thing. That, or we can see tags over ships now, which'd be nice for the lower realism settings.

At least we're not playing the navy version of Betrayal at House on the Hill. I hate it when my sub triggers the Haunt by entering the wrong patrol zone and activating one too many Omen cards, and it turns out my escorting Destroyer is in reality a Haunt, piloted by a werewolf bent on sub destruction.

Do they just spawn, or are they somehow let off the ship? The former is a bit dodgy, but the latter maybe a little bit too much to hope for.

They're animated. The developers let me get my hands on a short preview video, in which an American destroyer is sunk. The lifeboats were lowered by the heroic crew, but unfortunately one of them capsized when the Destroyer sunk. It couldn't get away in time because Parker had to jump back aboard the ship for his teddy, and, upon returning, realized he'd also left his comics book.
But yes, it was quite a sight.
No doubt those are truly stunning pictures of art and I'm just simply impressed.
On the other hand, I have yet ever seen any caps on the water... all the water looks too calm... Bit messy looking water might look more realistic than glassy clean water.. I guess.
We haven't yet seen cloud generation? I still think the cloud texture does NOT look generic (same thing to textures used in major SH3 mods) but can quickly be looking repetitive(it's always "scattered" cloud of the same pattern), and moreover it looks very flat.
Tho can't complain for the awesome looking nevertheless.

Could it be that the turret is still in the barbette and the stern is already beneath the waves.
You are correct sir, the Kongo class BB "Y" turret located far to the rear and on a lower deck than the "X" turret.
Barkhorn.
I tried to identify the ship and thought of the 'Kongo' but the ship on the screenshot is so crippled (funnels are missing e.g.) that I wasn't sure.
Yea, I'm pretty sure that's a Kongo as the 2nd to last picture is from the same sequence and shows what happened a few minutes before no doubt.

Some screenshoot from the MS Team review:
http://www.mille-sabords.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16583&st=0&#entry136968
Ooooooh, nice!:sunny:
Wildcats on carrier deck!
Map showing fleet movements plus areas of Japanese domination!
Awesome-looking spreading wake ripples!
A bit of management-screen confusion: I thought that I, II, and III would be the watch shifts, but that first screen shows I, I, and II? On the other hand, it now says "Control Room" instead of "Command Room"!
We finally see a shot of the "Machinery" screen, and it appears to be a very detailed damage-control layout!
I can't stand all this excitement! I have to go take a nap!

I like that briefing map, too, with the arrows and marked territories and ship icons and whatnot.
Oh, and if you'll forgive me for adding something completely off-topic, do any of you get a Final Fantasy feeling when seeing those people stroll around on the battleship? It makes me want to take control of one of them and walk him around the ship, hitting the 'X' key to interact with the other sailors.
Tidus: Where on Earth is Yuna? Have you seen her, ensign Yoshi?
Ensign Yoshi: She went below-decks with Barret, kemosabe.
Lt. Cid: Yeah, said she wanted to see his blitz balls--
Tidus: Oh ****:o.

I agree. Question? Was the Brewster a carrier aircraft? I do not think so:hmm:. It was asked to have the arresting hook but I do not believe it saw service on the carriers.

02-27-07, 11:59 AM
Yes, the Buffalo was a carrier aircraft, and he's right; I was so excited I just assumed, and I assumed wrong.
The very first squadron went to USS Saratoga. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_Buffalo
On the other hand, I will reiterate my pet peeve: the plural of Buffalo is Buffaloes. Plurals NEVER use an apostrophe (').

I think that second pic of the ocean-side town almost looks photo-real, or something placed on a postcard.
What comes to me is the image of a beautiful woman riding a bicycle through the town, her flower-print dress exposing liberal amounts of thigh and cleavage as she peddles towards the market to buy mangos, fending off amourous males along the way. All, of course, unaware of the terror that lurks off shore, its eye extended just above the water's surface and waiting for the prey that feeds the enemy war-machine.

oh well...okay, okay... using the term "lame" was an emotional response, i confess lol
what i do not like is the fact you don't get to see things like water flooding the compartments, fire animations etc... wich is important to me as they immerse you more. I've really hoped they would even do better than what was in SH3 but it's a sad regression instead. In fact the best one so far was SH1. I know this is just simples things,just animations and so on but i would have liked to see that. Even more, whith nowadays computers they could have modelled some water (with transparency and reflexion) slowly flooding the 3d compartments as in a FPS. would be a simple things to do. Nevertheless, damage model is really important in WWII era subsims as it makes for really tense "hollywood like" moments ;)

Seriously though, I hope the Free-Camera has a little inertia this time. It would add to the realism if, when the camera plunged into the water, it's movement slowed dramatically. I was right about the need to make the surface transparent and I'm right about this.

It would be good if we had an option to not show those icons on the chart and had instead to note down the coordinates from the radio message and plot it ourselves.

That's too funny. Y'all want to drive 1940's submersibles, but y'all want a 21st century looking interface.. :lol:
Seriously, it looks OK to me. it looks functional, and it's supposed to be editable. major plus in my books.

Just becuase the submarines are from the 40's, doesn't mean the HUD has to be. lol

well id prefer a hud that doesnt look like it was made by a 5-year old using a ruler and some assorted wee-coloured pastels. but if you want to pilot the enterprise thats up to you ;)
sh3's only needed a bit of tweaking, the new one looks like a step-back in quality and effort.

I never asked for a "modern" hud. The one currently in place just looks dated by todays standards workmanship wise. SH3's hud looks to be of a higher quality IMO.
Don't confuse "dated looking" with "I want the games hud to look like a space-sim". That would be an inaccurate assumption. I just think the current hud for SHIV looks like a panel from MSFS 98. lol ;)

I didn't confuse or miss-understand anything. It was just sarcasm!
"You can please some of the people, some of the time, but you can't please all of the people, all of the time".
The dev's are on a tight accelerated schedule, (Whether you blame them or Ubisoft, I don't care.) and they still don't have time to put in things like wolfpacks, or even just simple AI submersibles, or other important features the community as a whole wants, but Ark wants a better quality artwork HUD... ( Just sarcasm nothing more.)
I'm sure the modding community will save the day, as they have done for the last two titles.

I agree. I have a lot of faith in our modding community to fix whatever they CAN fix without having access to the hardcode. Those guys are awesome.... :rock:

they could have saved a bit of time by not vandalising what already looked ok.
a definite step backwards in interface, looks like the layout for a megadrive sim game.

its not a HUD (Heads Up Display) there in the cockpits of military jet's and such.
its a GUI or Graphical User Interface.
But to trust always in the community is not very good way. Of course a gmae can be greatly enhanced by the community but the stock game must be playable!
COmmunity mods are often overwhelming in numbers and a not to underestimating part of them breaks the balance or are causing new problems.
It is the JOB of the developers and the publisher to create a game that is in a playable state.
Let's see how they did their work with SH4 ;) But if it's unplayable I will not wait again for months to get patches.

I know what a HUD is on modern aircraft. lol What we are referring to in SHIV is still called the hud, like it is in most games. :)
Huds in videogames can be used to show quite a few game aspects, one of them being menus and whatot.

I acutally don't know why some of you do not like the Interface. It seems to be clearly structured and the colors are also OK. I like it.
Anyway... Let's see how "customizable" it finally will be...:ping:

I think the US did paint their scopes pink, I remember reading that in one of Richard O'Kanes books. Pink is the hardest color to spot for the scopes.

During my Survival at Sea training I was told that Pink would be the best colour for life boats, I assume because that is the best colour to spot. But for unknown reasons ;) they are never painted that colour.:lol:
