Yea, I was afraid of this. Opinions vary, but for me...AA is simply not optional. As much as I would LOVE to play SH4, I'll have to sit this one out.
Ubisoft is definately in decline as a publisher. This is the third major game in a row released by Ubi that doesn't support a standard graphics feature that has been around now for nearly 7 years. I didn't buy GRAW, but I would have...I didn't buy Rainbow 6: Las Vegas, but I would have, and I won't buy SH4, but I would have if these titles had simply supported FSAA. By my count, Ubisoft has lost almost $200 worth of guaranteed gross revenue from just me alone! Not good for Ubi...
It's amazing to me that this is such an issue in 2007! Hell FSAA is yesterday's news. Unfortunately, I'm pretty much to the point of simply dismissing Ubisoft as a serious publisher of quality titles. Everytime I see the Ubisoft logo, my first thought is "hmmm, looks fun...but it's Ubisoft, so no AA...NEXT PLEASE".
The good news is...now I don't have to sit around for the next 3 days in agony awaiting the release of SH4!
