Actually I think that the career mode got a good deal of attention in SH4. There are many improvements over SH3: intro video's, animated briefings, missions during the patrol...

I am kind of hoping that, apart from making blockbusters or cashcows, developers/publishers also care to be represented in smaller market segments. It looks like Ubi is doing this for simulations (Il-2 series, Lock On, Silent Hunter). Who knows, maybe in 5 years all mainstream genres will have moved to consoles and simulations will be the only thing left for the pc.
