And where are the drop's dynamic shadows??
Anyway, I can understand the general unease... where are the acts of good faith called "previews"?

There's no way we can manage expectations when we do not know what the game is looking like. I cannot write a preview on SH5 like I did on SH3. Thanks to Florin, the SH3 producer, I was able to write several:
http://www.subsim.com/2004e3_ssr.html
http://www.subsim.com/ssr/sh3_1104/preview_sh3_oct04.htm.php (This was 8 months before the game was released!)
http://www.subsim.com/ssr/sh3_rc1/sh3_mar05_dc1.htm
http://www.subsim.com/ssr/sh3_1104/preview_sh3_oct04_tdc.htm
and Drebbel also got a firsthand look:

So, players knew what to expect, and this silliness, doubt, and negativity we are experiencing now was pretty non-existent with SH3.
