This is very encouraging, especially after the beta tester, yesterday,
said it wasn't ready yet.

To be honest, as much as I'm anticipating SH4 being released, I wouldn't lose any sleep if Ubi announced a release delay--if it meant we'd get a more polished product in the end.

I agree Flintlock...............

Delays are never bad things, as long as the product is released in the end (unlike poor old Stars! Supernova Genesis, for example).

Silent Hunter 4 is going to be so awesome.

SH3 was released in fairly good shape. I see no reason for this to be any different. Did the next video come out? Seems like Neil hyped it up quite a while ago ... still not here?

Don't think you are correct here. MSGalileo, who posting the shots stated that the build they had - which was missing some key functionality - was received last week. Then another poster grandly claimed - "well then the code is far from ready". That was simply his interpretation based on a version that could have been weeks older than the current build. Then, in another post, he stated,

people testing SH4 at JVideo are not fan of naval simulation, they just want to have fun, show beautifull screens, better than a periscopic view

So...they are not part of the beta group and are using a demo copy that could be - and probably is - weeks older than the latest version.

He said their version is from last week, so how many builds have come out since last week? I am guessing not many if any.

Getting sort of close to release to start sending out new beta builds isn't it, Ubisoft? lol

I still don't think this game is coming out this month. I hope I am proved wrong though.

He stated that they received it last week - not that the version was dated as of last week - two VERY different things. I'm deducing that this version is the same one that Neal saw, the same one that the German Martime site saw and the same one that the guy who wrote this review saw. And this version is some months old.

Trust me - if the game were to be delayed we would have heard by now.

That's true, however if it's going to meet the March 13th release date we'd need to have a "Gone Gold" announcement here by early next week at the latest. We are now at that uncomfortable time where it could go either way.

He said they had version 1.0.0.1. That must be pretty close to RC status if their number system is like anybody elses with regards to builds.

I would suspect you are totally correct though. I would seriously be amazed if MP and some of the other features weren't part of the most current build yet.
