Preview in German Game-Mags

Hi everybody and a happy new year!

I´ve been away over Christmas so maybe those are old news: Two major German game magazines had a long SH4 preview. One of them dedicated an astonishing 4 pages to SH4 although subsims are certainly not considered top sellers in the world of gaming.

What´s more: SH4 is 27th in the German "Most Wanted Games" charts - again a surprisingly good place considering the genre.

The German mags don´t provide any real new information, but they are impressed by gameplay and graphics. Here´s what they say:

- graphics much improved (Shader 2.0, resolution no longer limited, optional "movie" effect to make graphics look like in an old film)

- improved campaigne with more variety (but: again it´s not a real free campaign)

- whole world accessable - dev team thought about implementing SH3 traffic and ships as well, but probably won´t do that due to lack of time BUT: it seems possible, which means free playground for modders as far as I see

Interesting note: both journalists stated that they disliked the Pacific theatre at first, but after seeing SH4 they are looking forward to playing it. So it must be quite convincing....

Cheers, AS
