I see AA in this shot as well:

Seeing it in motion is the real killer when FSAA can't be used. It looks absolutely horrible to me.

Also, take a look at the gun barrel and the wires running towards the front of the sub. I don't really see any FSAA in that picture, it is sort of dark though.

Man, you guys are going to give yourselves an ulcer.

Wait until someone gets the game and ask him if it allows AA or not. If not, and that's a deal killer for you, don't buy it.

I suspect you'll be moderately surprised.

Doesn't bother me... I ordered the DE a fortnight ago.

Yeah, I hear the DE has an exclusive AA feature

Well, we at least know that FSAA is not in any in-game menus. Of course, it wasn't in SH3 either, so we'll have to wait an see.

The one thing that does bother me is that almost all of the preview shots I have seen so far from other sites/magazines/etc.. lack FSAA. It's not like it's a random thing where a few sites show pics with it on, others with it off. It's almost as if the screenshots are devoid of FSAA entirely. You'd think with all these "Previews", Ubisoft would want to show how "great" the game can look....not how jaggy.

Besides this, wtf...why can't/won't Ubisoft just answer this question already. The fact that it isn't being answered is my biggest worry. Heck, I'd settle for a Beta tester telling me over pm for crying out loud. 80 views and 1,400+ views..........Is it an important enough question yet?

Btw, today is my birthday. Where's the love Ubisoft?

The numersous SH4 screenshoots floating around that definitely seem to have AA should alleviate your stress over this. Now you can get a good night's sleep.

Oh, and by the way; Happy B-day!

Thanks, Flint!

Have I read correctly that SH4 doesn't support this? If that's the case, what a bummer. This is something that every game has these days. This would be a major regression in my eyes.

Already a 5 page thread on the topic entitled;

Does FSAA work in SHIV??

Here's a synopsis:
- Many shots w/o it
- A few that look like they w/ it
- No official dev. announcement either way
- No beta testers saying due to NDA
- Have to wait and see

I agree.

Well I would hope it's in there. I don't even think I can name 1 PC game that doesn't support it. I would guess and say it's been at least 5 years since a game was made that didn't. AA is standard issue these days. I can't possibly believe it's not in the game.

What I personally think is going on is this game is such a massive resource hog with the new water and everything else that unless you have a $3,000 machine, you aren't running this with any level of AA without bringing your machine to it's knee's. I'll bet even without AA this game isn't running smoothly on machines that are even 2 years old. But that I can accept. I can't accept that it's not in here at all considering I just spent over $2,500 to upgrade my machine to handle anything this game can ever throw at it and more.

[Respenus]

Come on, even SH3 has AA and everything that goes with it. My GW game looked like something from a real WWII photo. I can't imagine SH4 without it. How is Stabiz then gonna do screenies and videos without it?

Actually, if you scan other threads, there is a little more information. But it takes digging.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Rainbow 6: Vegas, both do not support FSAA. Both are also Ubi titles. lol
