Difference between SH3 and SH4? - Page 2

Spin Doctor · 02-27-07, 06:10 PM

I've heard of aces of the deep, but that was before my time in gaming. I might have a bit of trouble finding parts/building a computer to run a 16 year old game, but it does seem that the developers of older games and sims had to put most of their efforts into gameplay vice graphics since there was no graphics revolution going on as it is now. It seems to be an either/or situation with most developers leaning hard into the graphics upgrade race.

It's not that big a deal. I was just wondering the emphasis behind SH4 was. I think I have a pretty good idea now.

Thanks

For me, the biggest improvement is the fact that i will be able to command a destroyer on the multiplayer.

Not really. BTW I look forward to this as much as you but I find the lack of MP-related info and screenshots suspicious. Neal promised his MP preview two weeks ago and postponed it indefinitely

What we do know is you will not be able to excatly "command a destroyer". It will be one guy as escort commander vs up to 3 guys (7 over LAN) as subs attacking his conwoy. I **guess** the escort commander guy will be able to issue only generic commands to his escorts like "go there, use ASDIC, drop DCs now etc".

Probably already said
bigger subs - i cant wait to stand on deck in the conning tower or do americans call it the Sail? Anyways it would be bigger size area compared to the much smaller U-boats. I think:hmm:

Side missions or dont know if these missions are in the campaign or side missions, but heading out looking for a downed pilot or doing a recon of a port is going to give the player something else to do when hes out at sea not just roaming around looking for convoys.

Seeing how well the ocean effects are i never really liked SH3 ocean although better than anything ive seen but to me it wasn't real, well it aint real but it just didn't feel right. Im hoping our boats will roll over big waves then come crashing down. Like in Das Boot during the rough whether ride.
