new screenshots (8/23/06)

[-Pv-]

I also believe those graphics in the screenshots (lighting, clouds, water) are do-able by the better cards. My 2.2Ghz CPU might chug a bit.

Dammit stop kissing UBI's ass, am I the only sensible one here?!

Editing can make a picture look better or more atmospheric.

And there so early in develoment I dont think screenshots are possible.

And I beg to differ. They didn't have to re-make the engine, remember?

And there's the trailer, too, which looks very in-game to me. Not to mention the things that are apparently from Silent Hunter III, like the odd crates with one-sided sides.

Look its compurters. They can do anything anamated now with them. Yes it will take less of a time because they dont have to compleaty re-rite the game engin but the ships are still in develment.

Those are ingame pictures, not CG or Concept Art. They have either been edited (adding extra bubbles or effects to give the pictures a depth-of-field effect) or perhaps the devs have made an Ingame photofilter effect.

The latter I remember I suggested earlier, and I still think it'd be awesome.

Yes it will take less of a time because they dont have to compleaty re-rite the game engin but the ships are still in develment.

And you know that how?

The ship models in the trailer and shots look finished to me, not "in development". And quality-wise, they look like they could fit nicely.

It is quite simple to take a series of screenshot, pick the best ones, run them through a PhotoShop filter or two, and publish them. Remember the opening film of Silent Hunter III? It was in sepia colour-tones, yet it was in-game graphics.

Why would they edit them? And the game just started develmont There wont be any real screenshots for a few months.

If you take away what looks to be a PS filter of some kind, you do have real screenshots.

SHIV uses essentially the same engine as SH3, only they modified it. Development time won't take nearly as long as SH3.

You hopeless people.

Why would they edit them?

To make them look better?

Why would you paint your house:p?

You hopeless people.

Let's make a bet. If they turn out to be real screenshots (and in-game shots, think "announcement trailer"), you put "RESIDENT MORON" in your signature for a month. If it turns out you're right, we do it.

Who's in?

Either settle down, or find somewhere else to post.

Childish behaviour like you have demonstrated in this thread may be allowable at the UbiSoft site, but not here.

You now have been warned twice in this thread.

Sorry I am prone to rant. And you guys calling them screenshots kind of set me off.
