correct me if im wrong here (it happens a lot lol) but didnt UBI get sh2 from buying out some other company and they just improved on something that was already started?
if im right on that, then they really havent done anything new at any point but rather they just modded the game they bought to make it play better.
no matter how much they try to deny it sh4 was just sh3 with new content and i believe they took the same method here and just added new content to sh4 (or maybe even sh3) in order to call it sh5.
dan gets mad when people say its arcade like but lets be honest, when you look at the in game videos of this thing it is 10 steps backwards from the sim factor and you wait for this dot to line up with that dot to fire or you miss your target?
say what? this is the improved hud they came up with.
just look at the auto targetting video here in case you dont have the game

i really really hoped for so much from this thing but i just cant see this game being saved unless the modders can rebuild the fps cartoonish hud totally from scratch. i think dan said it was possible to mod in the sh4 type hud and controls so if thats true then there is hope this thing can turn out nice after all.
