What is your No1 Feature in SH4?

macky · 03-16-07, 03:16 AM

As everyone here, cannot wait till I get my copy in the post. Until then, just wondered what your No1 feature is that we know will (or most likely will) be included in SH4?

I know there are loads of goodies that are going to better SH3, but what is your number 1?

For me I think its the campaign changes, how its going to be more dynamic

More dynamic ? In what way ?

Additional missions while you´re on patrol, like photo ops and SAR.

Exactly, doesnt look like its just patrol this grid for 24 hours, which seemed pointless to me, only useful for the reknown. Instead we will be directly involved in historical content and also have alternate orders at random times

Ah, ok. I Since those features have been in every Pacific SubSim I did not consider these as a real additional feature. But I guess it is and it will sure prevent war patrols from becoming a drag.

For me, it will be a combination of the improved graphical feel of the game and not having to micro manage my crew.

Galanti · 03-16-07, 06:37 AM

For me it will be the greater opportunity for sinking warships, particularly those beautiful Japanese ones. S-44 versus Kako, anybody?

Does anyone know if more renown will be awarded for sinking naval vessels than in SH3? As I recall, there was at one point a concerted efforted to sink escorts, given the IJNs weaknesses in that area.

Features? Hopefully the AI will be better. As of now I am just hoping they release the game in a finished state.

fredbass · 03-16-07, 06:48 AM

Definitely the reassignment of special or historical missions during the dynamic campaign as well as actually being able to see AI sailors move around the ships which will hopefully add some immersion.

This

The improved control room, some of the improvements to the dynamic campaign
( extra missions, etc. ).

The fact that shortly after I will have a new computer and run it on max settings

Not having to micromanage the crew...getting to play as "the good guys"...seeing huge naval battles, and being in the middle of them...

Man, I can't wait until next week!

stabiz · 03-16-07, 08:29 AM

For me its the immersion bits. Crew on deck, survivors in the water, parachutes, etc.

Spaxspore · 03-16-07, 08:49 AM

As long as it has a dynamic campaign am happy.

Am still having nightmares of sh2,which was a fun game however it had no replayablity at the level sh3 had. Basicaly do mission, your done, go home eat pie.

At times I've felt a little strange about blowing up British and U.S. shipping.

But now I'll get to drive guilt-free U.S. subs!

I must admit that the improved graphics are the most interesting to me. For me, SH3 was almost perfect as it was. If all they had done was update the graphics and add support for widescreen resolutions, I would have been happy.

Having said that, the features mentioned above are all very exciting! My only worry is that SH4 won't support FSAA. If this turns out to be true...I will be very dissapointed indeed.
