Sorry Boss, I thought it was community forum...

Those are apparently WIP screens, there isnt the volumetric light scatering shader either (god rays).

BulSoldier · 01-20-10, 10:34 AM

I think it looks great.My concern are elsewhere. And whats up with those dynamic shadows , it isnt that big deal.Furthermore i think the graphics could be apreciated best when you run it and see for yourself.
Though correct me if i am wrong but the sun appears a bit too close to the earth

+1

Shiny grafics are nice, but the campaign and the actual u-boat simulation will be the deciding factor for me.

BulSoldier · 01-20-10, 10:42 AM

Actually i think there are dynamic shadows.In the last screen you can see the mast`s shadow on the ships bridge.

O I have a bigger fish... called periscope screen, but that dish is not being served on this page...

By the way... I dont give a s**! (as you put it) for Type IX and 1944/45 campaign... but it doesn't give me a right to back-fire at other community members who keep complaining on missing these features'... at least not with your charge of testosterone

About dynamic shadows, well, since it's a feature that should be integrated in a AAA 2010 sim game, yeah it kind of matters.

Considering all the work they are doing on the graphic side of the game it is pretty weird that thoses shadows don't appear in the screens, but don't forget that there's still some time before Gold version (a fat month) so I'm confident that it will be featured.

I think that the late screens don't feature all graphical options yet.
Myself I work in the video game industry and in our current project, the graphical aspect will be finished almost at the last moment, just because cosmetics don't have to be finished while developing a game.

About the fact that the game concentrates on the VII class, big deal as long as it's better done than the previous games.
I preffer one sub and one campaign better done and more immersive than something less polished and with more content.

The main purpose of a simulation is to simulate, if they can better simulate a sub game by concentrating on one sub and a dynamic campaign, why not? There's plenty of time afterwards for addons.

Hmmmmmm....

Missing HALF the war...

or

Deck gun shadows...

yeah....THATS a tough one.

capthelm · 01-20-10, 03:22 PM

wonderful shots cant wait, no need for row or graphic mods in this

unterseemann · 01-20-10, 03:22 PM

missing half the war... missing more than half the uboots... that's incredible...
They never wonder why a 5years old game ( i mean sh3) is still played by so many people?? Oh and it's not sh3 but sh3 WITH GWX or NYGM or WAC. Was it so complicated to start from this base??
Wait and see but the more they show the less i feel excited about it...
