Those that stuck with SH3 now find them looking at this thing called SH5 which is a couple of technologies ahead. That and lacking good tools makes it hard to get picked up by the mass. SH4 is the best bet for SH3-modders, it's engine is similar as are the tools. And there's a good framework built by the 'old dogs', both in gameplay and visuals. SH5 still has quite some time to go in that respect (not to mention the inability to import new models, at least easily)

The way I look at it though is that you will make all this work for SH4 and then have to port over to a very different engine in SH5.It seems that everyone should agree right now to all join in on Sh5.As you pointed out SH4 was disregarded and sadly so but now there is a better engine for everyone to pour their hearts in to.
