Hehe, that would have REALLY been disappointing. No, what I expected was an upgrade to SH3 that went a bit beyond graphics and which added many more of the sorts of things the mod community did for SH3. But SH4 is not that. Basically, as far as I can see so far, SH4 is SH3 with improved graphics, with an expanded gramophone giving a sort of radiomod/newsmod functionality that the mod community gave to SH3 and without the 3D compartment interface that came as standard in SH3.

I just feel the game should have been more. But it's first impressions right now, and SH3 was also a bit of a pig that needed some heavy-duty lipstick applied to it. So we'll see what the future brings.
Yours is an unpopular viewpoint with many people here, and I'm surprised so far no one has called you a whiner/moaner/hater or whatever.... <snip>

Since Beery is one of the original of the great SH3 modders, I think he's more than entitled and qualified to make whatever comment he wants on the state of SH4.

Also since most people seem to be waiting with baited breath for the modders to fix this new sim, it's not a foregone conclusion that those who are able have either the time or desire to do the same with SH4. We're talking literally years of research and work going into building the GWX mod.

I think that if you're expecting the same for SH4, it's best not to bite the hand that feeds you.
