You know, the ironic thing is that this "Hollywood-filter" is most likely the reason SH4 won't support FSAA! And many people (myself included) would turn it off immediately.
Typically, a simulation is trying to re-create a sense of reality...people's eyes don't behave the way a camera does. Jaggiesoft would have you believe that in the 1940's, people saw things in black and white.
This whole "hollywood cinematic experience" thing that Jaggiesoft's marketing dept has been flogging around the Internet is...never mind. |
They don't have FSAA because Nvidia cards don't support HDR and FSAA at the same time. Presumably they were sponsored by Nvidia. You don't have to like it, but in big budget gaming publishers need all the money they can get. |
That's incorrect.
It doesn't work with ATI cards either. It's an engine limitation, not a videocard one. Also, the new Nvidia cards are supposed to support both at the same time (8800 series).
You need to go read the FSAA thread. Lot of good information in there.

And 8800 series cards are hardly a common benchmark, and people with that spec and above is fairly small. I can see why they'd not cater for it. |
Nobody said the 8800 was a common benchmark.
The fact the 8800 series is able to do both at the same time is merely an attribute of that series of card. I don't think anybody is calling the 8800 series "common". Adding in FSAA is hardly "catering" to anybody since it is a standardized feature this day in age.
Besides, it's not like FSAA will work with the 8800 series and SHIV anyways, so it's a moot issue. lol
Let's just wait for the game to actually be released and see how everything goes. There seems to some real good reports of the graphics despite the lack of FSAA (it's tough to be able to judge for yourself from a screenshot). As much as I love FSAA, I am still really excited about the product.
