All I Need to be Happy

Brag · 03-26-10, 11:21 AM

To be happy, all I need is SHIII with GWX and SHV water

Ahhhh...are you noting the graphics in SH3 are getting a bit dated?

SH4 graphics are starting to look a bit dated against SH5 when I look at them....

SH5 graphics are excellent.

I agree, its visually stunning. Not quite up to par on the old gameplay, but I'm sure it'll get there.

But then, to be fair, I was still thinking that SH4 was looking good!

Yup, if Ubi would hajust improved the SHIII graphis SHIIIB would be a hot seller.

If find SHIII still very good in terms of graphics. I would say the answer of your question depends on your temper, whether you need photorealistic graphics, or whether it is not that important for the simulation aspect. I tend to put much more weight on the latter. Otherwise I guess I'd rather pull out "Das Boot" or so.

Pardon me to differ. But I actually see SH4's water graphics (modded) same or even better than SH5 graphics managed to deliver.

Ahhh...however, SH3 out of the box was good but not great. SH5 much the same. Sometimes it takes all day to make an excellent meal. All in do time!

I compared the two last night. Both are comparable but I find SH5 has the edge with the clouds and white water around the sub/vessels. Unmodded, I find SH5 better than the unmodded SH4. There are some aspects of SH5 environment I would like to put in SH4

Wow!!! What a nice screenshot!! Leaving the whole DRM thing aside,I think SHV has some very good immersive points that the Mod team or Devs can improve on and make this a fantastic sim.

Meh, purdy graphics are for kiddies.
Just a reminder of how trivial graphics are, 1994's Aces of the Deep and 1996's Silent Hunter 1 are still on top of the best subsim list.
Heck, I'll play an all 3D wire frame subsim, as long as all the features are there.

The mind's eye is the best graphic card anyways.

Yes, but then technically speaking, you don't need to play games at all; daydreaming should be far superior. The mind after all, is capable of rendering imagery with far more realism than any computer can currently manage.

You know, I never had to go see Avatar. Made it all up in me head.

I always find it a bit ridiculous when people say that graphics doesn't matter, it's only eye candy... seems to me quite obvious that a game should be balanced between visual aspect and gameplay. (I know, SH5 isn't ''balanced'').
