In SH5 I would like the top-end, of the scaleable graphics quality, only attainable by the very latest system. However, the volumetric fog in SH4 was a disaster quite frankly, what with transparent crewmen and a huge cut into FPS. In fact the graphics generally were twitchier than a Mexican jumping bean with touretts! With this I'd like to see a rock-solid graphics engine above all else.

Same here, I miss the the fluent stuff from SH3. SH4 acts up all the time for me, be it glitches, stutters or weird slow downs. (No, I am not trying to run it on a Commodore 64, my computer handles all the new stuff way better than SH4)

Well, we've been entering a new era every year for about 20 years. Faster computers and bigger screens are nothing new (I started with a 386 and 14" screen). :D

However I'd just say: Give us sliders! :cool:

I never understood those performance discussions, just give the user the option to tweak the visuals the way he likes it. Some people need 50 fps to be happy, I can live with 20 fps so I tweak my option to have the best visuals at the desired framerate.
Get a high end system, pull the sliders to the right. Keep your old system, pull the sliders to the left.
And everyone is happy. :sunny:
