SH 5 and graphics

BodyBag33 · 11-14-11, 08:05 AM

Hi all!

Just bought the game (15 $ incl. shipping), and should recieve it tomorrow.

Being a graphics whore and having a monster PC, I presume that SH 5 looks even better than SH 4?

Cheers,

WELCOME ABOARD!

Overall the graphics are somewhat better than SH4 and massively better than SH3. I say "somewhat" because SH5 builds on what was done for SH4. The clear water doesn't look much different, but SH5 adds a natural-looking sea foam that runs off the decks of the sub and lingers in the water. The harbors use a new rendering technology that adds a lot of details but doesn't draw much more on the PC's resources. And you can walk around the entire sub.

So graphically SH4 was a wonder to behold, and SH5 is even more so. But even a casual look at the screenshot thread would have told you that already.

Have only seen some vid on YouTube, and being in 1080p does not do the game justice, when you are gaming in 1920 x 1200.

Will have a look in the screenshot-thread.

Cheers,
