Hi there guys,
Here is my point of view as a SH3 Moder.
First after 3 years of making all kinds of graphic Mods and latter changing to larger mods of my own and merging along some other Mods upon my U.Boat releases i reached to a conclusion in the end, The first and most obvious one was that GWX was at least for me the Super Mod that really transported the SH3 game into its limits, as for game play and game engine capacity, GWX gave us all the extension and game upgrade that we and the game needed to finally be played in a totally different way and gave us a totally new experience.
from that a lot of new guys and other established moders made some important changes making at the end a game that we all loved and still love, but most of all, the doors were opened that we thought would never be opened, and the game jumped into a new level that I personally believe made UBI realize that could exploit the situation and launch 2 new New Sub Sim that in fact took the complete wrong direction, SH4 UBI's first attempt to refresh SH3 Game was in my opinion a failure cause of their choice of changing the Atlantic Scenery for the Pacific, Then later on SH5 another attempt from UBI to capture the Community again resulted in another bad move cause bring you to Middle Atlantic war taking us the all experience that we all loved in SH3...Game engines are the natural evolution in this 3 games, we all know that SH 4 and 5 have a superb game engine that is wasted in a game play that lacks horizon lines or if you want a better developed game base and story, With respect for the Pacific Sub war , nothing is compared to the German u-boat Atlantic campaign during the WWII years, so everything that UBI as done was taking out the "Candy" (SH3 Atlantic war) from the community and try to
change the outstanding community Modding creativity to explore new Sub Sim scenarios like the Pacific and then realizing their mistake go back to the German Atlantic war but again the wrong way by starting the game campaign in middle war....
I left the Modding Cause I had personal reasons but also cause the SH3
is in fact a game that is reaching its limits if didn't already, and cause his newest brothers are to limited yet to capture my creative vain....
I have all the SH3 games, stored and waiting for better days.
In my opinion, Sh4 is the game that can really support a major Modding change, Transporting the actual Pacific campaign to the Atlantic, with all the SH3 features and better graphics and with the possibility to had a lot more cause of its game engine...
...Can you imagine SH3 Ported to SH4 game and all the actual Major Mods that make SH3 a Land mark on this series?...
...Now imagine the modding possibility's that yet could be added into the game...
I think the community should be alert to this ...I still think that GWX is the right team to do it, I believe there are a lot of talented Modders in this place and that more can still born and make the SH4 the next SH3 sim...
But this are just my thoughts.
