I was really looking forward to this game but after hearing the initial reports I really skeptical now.
FOR INSTANCE:
It seems that the rez is still locked at 1024x768 no FSAA forcing...
Missing sounds or reused sounds from SHIII...
Less crew movement activity than SHIII...they don't move around at all...
Less crew interaction..you can't click on them...
Unable to click on stations and controls to use them...
Less informative damage control screen...
Less sub interiors...
And unfortunately the list seems to grow as more are getting the game.
It actually seems that this series is moving backward. Maybe the Devs just rehashed SHIII and were cut short by UBI for development time.
Now, before I run out and make a purchase here...please convinve me that this game is a worthy purchase and step forward in the series from SHIII with all the latest mods?
