I am starting to get concerned, because I am once again seeing some worrying and familiar signs in the pre-release of SH4 that were the same signs in other previously released sims that ended up being majorly unfinished let downs. By this I mean mostly the pre-release focus and excitement on new, improved, pretty graphics and crickets chirping silence regarding improved ai and realism features. But I hope you're right. |
Yeah, amen to that. It did seem that SH4 came out damn fast but who am I to complain? Looking at the staff and how they reach out to the community they should KNOW that if they crap on their serious fan-base (that would be us) down goes their profits. I'm not worried. It's going to kick ass in terms of realism AND looks. You'll see. |
Just to keep things in perspective regarding the "serious fan-base"...
There are 8,595 registered users here at Subsim.com. Now not all of them are devotees of the Silent Hunter franchise, but for the sake of arguement let's say they are.
Silent Hunter III sold over 300,000 copies.
That means we represent, at best, 2.8% of total sales.
Everytime I start getting taken with my own sense of self-importance I like to remind myself of this.
