I'm annoyed by all the missing features, that were in SH3, but aren't in SH4; like being able to click on crew members to bring up order lists; like "range to nearest visual target", or clicking my way to the bridge and then clicking on the TBT/UZO to bring it up.

Quite frankly, the game release should have been delayed by several months, so that our 1 to 3 patches in the Ubisoft contract actually are spent adding features and squashing annoying bugs, not being spent to add functionality that should have been in from day 1; like a working stadimeter, or crewmembers you can order around like in SH3.

x 11ty million

I don't really know, but I think Ubi and the developers of SH4 are two different enities ... with one contract to develop the sub sim and in that contract were performance dates ... that date has come and gone.

Dan and his team are employees of Ubisoft and make up the Ubisoft Romania Studio.

Usually, in matters like this, 2-3 patches are allowed for in the budget over a specified period of time.

Oh! Well that proves I didn't know ...

yea i did that for real it aint spam its called supporting the devs so they actually have the money to keep updating it, if the game doesnt sell and they dont make money wuts the point of patching it and wasting more time money and resources on it????

Most games have an "update" option on the window that pops up when the cd is inserted. I can't remember the last game I played that didn't.

Ah, thank you, that was helpful to know!

lol! i thought this thread was a joke at first.... :rotfl:

Well we can saftly say SH4 was alittle off key on release... but at least they have a patch in the works.

Is there any word on a fix for this resolution problem?

Lawndart · 03-21-07, 04:36 PM

We all already knew this, on the UK home page the developers also posted a message saying something like "We really hope you like it, we will continue to support it, etc." weeks before release

Actually, those pen sailors have quite some advantages. You can easily stack your whole enlisted crew in 4 bunks (even less if you call for hot bunking). This means: more supplies, more torpedoes on board. They should also be able to climb into the darkest parts of your sub with ease. Look at those Germans in 'Das Boot', trying to repair damages while lying at the bottom of gibraltar strait. How much easier would those repairs have been with pen soldiers.

I want more pen soldiers! And I want a cookie!

Asking for a lot, in this day and age I don't think so.

well the resolution does go higher than 1024.

Yes the menu resolution does and that's it, the game graphics themselves get worser the higher res you go, I run 1920x1200 and it looks more jaggy at that res then at 1024, the graphics just seem to inflate like zooming in on a photograph and it gets more pixelated.

Looks so horrible that I can't even be bothered playing.

What is really sad and shortsighted: people reviewing this for the major magazines (and some outlets, like Gamespot) will be required to review the "out of the box" version. So, for example, my review for Games for Windows (previously known as Computer Gaming World) will have to be of the 1.0 version, with all of the issues that come with that version. If they were able to patch this thing within a week, they would have been SO much better off holding off for a week and releasing the updated version. The reviews/review scores would surely be a lot better. Ugh.

That is exactly what I was afraid of hearing.

Well you could get off your high horses and review the version available with patches if they are there, pardon me for being so frank on the matter. This is maybe more aimed at the editors than the reviewers who just follow order. You're not doing the readers any service by ignoring the patches, on the contrary. If there is a patch, install it and review the game with it. This "out of the box" policy stands so much against the reality of how pc games releases have been for over a decade. You know it, the readers know it. Hats off to the editor that recognizes this and do their reviews to match reality.

The real issue here is that game reviewers have limited time to play a game and base their score on that time frame. So the producers makes the game able to "pass inspection" in the gaming rags/sites. Which is why games like the Total War series keeps getting high scores, in spite of them being buggy and more of a show than a good strategy game.
