Like it or not, the users of this forum are only a tiny, tiny minority of the potential buyers of the sim. Most new buyers will be most interested in fancy graphics, the new FPS interface, and X-box type features. UBI has to give them what they want, especially in the previews, or the game will not meet the publishers sales expectations.

Its thinking like that that kills everything. Isnt the Silent Hunter series a success? Well, it must be considering the fifth title is about to hit the shelves, so why should UBI all of a sudden be "ashamed" of the core of the title? This relentless catering to the "owww-shiny-graphics-must-pirate-and-play-10-minutes-then-go-back-to-Crysis"-crowd is not productive, IMO. The series is popular because you get a taste of the life of a submariner, not because you get to win WW2 in a super sub in DirectX 15.
