With regards the NO FSAA..I'm sure again there will be a work around...Nvidia users will probably use nHancer and FORCE AA on the game.....Plus with every new version there always adding to the profile list, wouldn't be hard to get SH4 on there HDR+AA@16Q just like Oblivion....on a 8800GTX...

Think I can handle 1024x768 and still can have fun with the game.

for sure. but to miss higher resolutions ist not state of the art, not in the year 2007.

I wish that were true, but based on the posted screenies only the interface is affected by changing game resolutions, type of monitor won't matter.

Let me clarify my statement. A 1024x768 game looks better on my old crt than my lcd. It is in fact quite crappy on my lcd.

I hope there is no misunderstandings.

Hmmm I think we are being invaded by UBI.com members. And we all know how they act over that way. Everyone that is complaining (except a few) are mostly brand new members. And I'm sure not going to trust someone named evil666. :rotfl:

So at least 2 people have seen this, unless those 2 people are one in the same.

Just a couple of systems to rate a game’s performance. I don’t think so.

Hardly 1 screen shot, I could post 50 of it, its 1024x768 stretched, distorted and blurred, period, the only way it wont bug you is if your freaking blind, or are locked at 1024x768 its a shame cause the effects are AWSOME.

im running at 1600x900 right now in a window to reduce it a bit, but its still really there, if I ran in a window at 1024x768 its nearly not noticible.. but whats the point of having widescreen..

Yes, BUT its the publishers job to make sure the final product is good, how could they let this slide?

Were did you get the game? And are you the same guy that is complaining on UBI? If so is it possible it is an issue with your setup?

[Mud]

I'll give my honest opinion when I have SH4 which is hopefully tomorrow , but that said I'm prolly the old fart that rates a game more for playability than for resolution settings .... no pun intended.

mh, you're not right. i got the link from a german gamer forum. to hear from this issue makes many people doubtful, me too. so i decided to register here to have my say. maybe you can imagine that. i have nothing to do with ubi.com.

Isn't all that hack does is allow UPSCALING the 1024x768 resolution to higher res? Does that hack actually make the 3D Rendered world a higher res? I mean, all SHIII shipped with was... 1024x768, nothing else. I don't see how the hack could change that. :hmm:

Dont listen to him, evil. The subsim-is-best-I-am-looking-down-my-nose-on-anybody-else routine is getting old. (I am not from the Ubi forums either, by the way, original subsimmer)

If you bother to read the thread you are pointing me too. You will see that its a guy saying that his friend that is Dislexic says that its not turning up. But someone else in the thread says his is fine. Go figure. If your trying to prove a point you chose the wrong thread. :rotfl:
