Question about this image

[kapitan_zur_see]

i don't think it's a combo, it could very well be pure ingame. Look at the sceenshot i've provide, there's no noticeable differences between them. And it was taken during the SH4 first look where neal or some other subsim.com fellows had been invited to take a look at a beta sh4. This is where that screenshot i provide was taken, to illustrate:

"After careful and deliberate calculations, I fired a couple of torpedoes. We switched to the outside camera to watch them speed to glory. I was all prepared to start bragging about my TDC skills when, as we watched them close on the target, Dan brought me up short by casually pointing out, "I noticed these are the training warheads on the torpedoes."

"It's a training warhead?" I sputtered, incredulous.

"Yah, see the yellow warhead--"


So as you can see, this IS a real ingame screenshot and there's no noticeable difference.

The bubbles in the Screenshot are not In-Game. This shot is from the November Press Kit of Silent Hunter 4, you can see that here:

So most of the screen is really in the game, including Post-Processing Filters. But there are no "bubbles" like that.

But you will see algae if you are on periscope depth (yes i actually played the game) swimming around you...also as the new sea floor with stones and botanical.

Something of this you can see here:

at last! someone who has played the game and is sharing infos about graphics lol!
Too bad they didn't implements bubbles as this should have been doable... anyway, glad to hear that all the other things seems there! So in light of your experience, except for the bubbles, does the game looks as beautifull as those screenshots?? especially the underwaters one? Is there depth-of-field? Is light fading through ocean as in those screenies? are there light rays and not just a horizontal fading of light through water as in SH3?
THanks anyway for sharing infos!
