SH5 Updates from the SUBSIM meeting next week

I've played games with ugly graphics that bog down my pc (a preety good pc I might add) and I've also played games with amazing graphics that were stuck at 60 fps (i have a lcd monitor)

. We don't live in the age of Half Life anymore. I've even played a game (can't remember which) that moved just as bad at low graphics as it did at very high settings. Fortunately, SH5 is only made for the PC (I hate console ports

) so I really hope it will be well optimised. To be honest, I was never too impressed with SH4 's frame rate.

Firewall has the basic point although it came over wrong. I have a five year old system that I still play BF2. As nothing game wise was out that interested me I was happy to keep it going. I’d have probably bought a new system this year but bought a new Mini Cooper and as I could use it fine for the web and email I thought next year.

Its great to have games that can scale down to play on the older machines, My 6800GT GFX card is still going strong on an Amd 3400 chip but it never even ran SHIII full pelt. I would not even try it with the new games as why play on a low setting when you miss so much.

I’d prefer SHV to have decent minimum requirements and hate to think the game being held back for gamers with low spec systems. I accept on my current system I cant play X,Y, or Z and glad I cant as I look forward to the new system and trying a few of them out and appreciate the way games have progressed.

Be able to scale it down to a level, but to hold back on making it a more advanced game for the sake of the select few that are unfortunate not to have higher spec system is madness and in truth SHII and IV is there for the older systems.

It has always been the case I accept that high end systems deserve the games that need them to play. It’s not good enough to suggest that low end systems need to be take into account if it means things dropped or tweaked in the game in my view
