Since the question has apparently never been answered by the Devs, I'm waiting for the game to come out first in order to find out about this important functionality. I'm curious, is that what most other people in this thread have decided to do too?

Cheers

That's the crux of the issue, OT. Many of us, I imagine, will still buy the product...therein lies the issue........

If many of us will buy it, or end up buying it anyways, where's the motivation to try and implement it in?

As much as I HATE the idea of no FSAA, I love Sub sims. Will it adversely affect my opinion of the game? Most definately. But I did pre-order it anyways knowing this. In fact, I think I may have been the first to start the "No FSAA?" line of questioning. lol

Yea, that was you.

I'll buy it even without anti-aliasing. Firstly it still looks good, and secondly, graphics aren't important to me anyhow.

This is very important, although I would prefer for multiplayer server client damage bug from sh3 to be fixed, then I will be happy.

Seems like Ati X1000 series support HDR and FSAA at the same time

More of a reason why there should be no excuse for SH4 not to support FSAA when someone has card from that series. I have x1950 xt and I truly hope fsaa will work on sh4. Too bad they didnt mention what card they used for that preview on IGN site.

So I've just realized something and I have a question. I know it's not yet confirmed if there is AA available in game or if it can be forced, but if it is present or can be forced, would a Radeon X800 XL be able to run with HDR and AA at the same time? I ask this because I know that the X1000 series can run it, and that it is a big advantage for ATI and I always hear about it. But my X800 XL isn't in the X1000 series, and yet, I can play HL2: Episode 1 with both HDR and AA! So do ATI cards that aren't in the X1000 series support both HDR and AA simultaneously?

This is probably just some paranoid, anxious thought I just had, but hey, it would be awesome to have HDR and AA at the same time instead of sacrificing one for the other.

Apparently, so can the 8800 series from Nvidia.

However, if the engine won't support it, new drivers more than likely won't change that. *GRAW* lol

You`re very right Ark, forgot about the nVidia 8800 and if the game engine will suport FSAA + HDR or not we will find out in a few days

All the best

I wouldn't count on it. I had an X800XT that would do both HDR and AA at the same time for HL2. However it would not do both in Oblivion. If AA is even available in SH4 (it's entirely up in the air from what I've read, and the developers haven't squashed any of the rumors), the only real safe bet would be either a X1000 series or Nvidia's 8800 series.

Thanks for that info, even if it is upsetting. It just means that a video card upgrade is definitely in order. Now I just gotta pick one from all the different offerings out there....

That aside, I hope AA is available in SH4. It really is nice to have.

DJSatane · 03-11-07, 03:14 PM

I cant wait for a review because it seems noone from UBI or dev wants to talk about this issue(after i asked whether aa will work in sh4 on ubi ask the developers thread - they locked it and ended the questions). I truly hope aa can be used on sh4.

Paajtor · 03-11-07, 03:55 PM

Theky locked it and ended the questions?
What an unhealthy way to handle future-customers!

Still I hope it's possible, to force through driver-settings, just like SH3 and Red Orchestra.
In fact, I run both games at the exact same settings.

SH3 does't have the same graphics features as SHIV. Turn on bloom in SH3 (Shift + PgUp) and all of your forced FSAA will disappear.

Ok. I posted this in another thread, but it was really meant for this one...

I will now take this time to kneel before our god, Neal Neptune Stevens, who's spirit is always with us just below our keel...

Oh father who art below us, please do not let Ubi deliver unto us a Kracken from the depths. Give us this day our daily FSAA, through SHIV our Sim, Amen.
