Screenshots taken from 1024 x 768 and then scaled down will probably look great to anyone!

See the game for yourself running on a Dell 20" Widecreen LCD at 1920 x 1200 and its like playing Aces of the Deep in EGA mode.

As someone else pointed out earlier, for any widescreen users this is gonna be a show stopper!

If you expect me to believe you then stop using such Obscene Examples. Comparing the graphics to EGA. Give me a break.

Have you even read the thread? No AA is one thing, but they have lied about resolutions.

Ducimus · 03-19-07, 06:46 PM

Yes the devs speak english. Quite well i might add. yes they read subsim forums. Far more then most here would realize.

Now, you just got a new game and expected it to work flawlessly out of the box? Suuuureeee. The majority of games released require alot of patching. How much "patch after release" shennaigans they can get away with is dependant on who they are. Id Software could get away with murder if they wanted to. Activision,atari or SOE; you'd come to expect it. Ubisoft, i dunno.

As a reminder, SH3 had its patches too. Now personally, i wont be doing ANY of this:

until after ubisoft stops making patch's for SH4.

Somehow not having AA doesn't strike me as THAT BIG OF A FREAKING DEAL.

Quit beating a dead horse.

Why don't you post this over at UBI? Or better yet, build your own bloody subsim, and then let us flame the snot out of it before it even is released.

You may say whatever you wish dean.
AA is important, as is resolution. The gaming experience is all about emersion as far as I'm concerned. I was going to run out and purshase SH4. Now I will not.
The people at UbiSoft need to know that their audience is not happy!
I can think of no better place to vent that aprehension and distrust than a site which not only caters to sub sim players, but also promotes sub simulations.

dean_acheson · 03-19-07, 06:51 PM

This is the same 'the sky is falling' type crap we heard when they released every SH game, as well as DC, all of which was fun, I purchased, and enjoyed. I'm sure that SH4 will be better than any other Subsim to come out this year, or ever, for that matter.

Oh yeah, except for AOD, which is still the best thing since sliced bread. Wait, did it have AA?....

This sounds like the type of thing you would hear in the the SWG forums.....

Faamecanic · 03-19-07, 06:55 PM

Guess I need to break out my 15" Sony Trinitron monitor from 10 years ago and ditch my 20" LCD just so I dont see jaggies the size of my shwanze on anything other than a perfectly vertical or horizontal line. Give me a farking brake....

BOOOO UBISOFT and BOOO on the Devs.

MarkShot · 03-19-07, 06:55 PM

I was just playing some AOD. Look at these jagged lines! It's terrible.

Antrodemus · 03-19-07, 06:56 PM

Er... Ducimus & Dean, what exactly do you find so unimportant about being essentially lied-to about screen resolutions? We even had the devs in videos, saying (roughly) "...and here we are running at 1920 x whatever...", and conveniently neglecting to mention that the only element of the game that it applied to was the UI! People have every right to feel cheated by this. Every right.

Yes I have. Again where did you get the game?

Dane · 03-19-07, 06:58 PM

It is a shame when people that haven't played the game, haven't seen squat ---are complaining about it.. Get real, people. Give it a break, give it a chance.!!! Sounds like I am reading something that a 12 year old composed. Maybe many of you are??

Also I think we should start Ignoring these people Until they cough up where they purchased the game. Because if they are playing a Pirated copy, then they deserve to have screens like that.

If you purchased the game I apolagize in advance. Its just kinda funny that last night 2-3 people that bought the game early never complained about this problem. And since Neal has had the game for 1 week already he would almost certaintly said something already.

I dont have it. My preorder is cancelled.

Even IF the resolution thingy is due to pirated games (which I dont think it is, why would it?) the bug-reports and awful jaggies is enough for me to wait for a miracle or keep playing the rather beautiful and challenging GWX.

This thread isn't about positive criticism! Its about airing your digust for a company which would release a PC game which doesn't live up tho UbiSoft's promises nor their last subsim; SH3.
