Death of SHIII?

[Lanzfeld]

I am really excitied about the mod of SH-4 to the Atlantic!

I hope..............

[Torplexed]

I think people who are more interested in the Atlantic War will graviatate back to it eventually if they do pick up SH4. I always found all naval warfare in WW2 interesting but just like on land some have strong preferences as to which theater. (Ever meet an Eastern Front buff? ) I also believe someday there will be a more comprehensive Atlantic U-Boat sim. The market is there.

True and to the point

I think a lot will depend on the realism of SHIV. Another aspect is: Will computers be able to have both games installed? My 200 gig machine seems to be maxed. In my present career stage, I'm far from ready to move to the Pacific.

I'm a Battle of the Atlantic junkie, so until something better in that arena is released, SH3 will always have a place on my hard drive.

[DanCanovas]

i'll be going over to SH4 for a while.

Same as Mookie. I might try SH4 eventually but SHIII is here to stay on my HDD.

Tho I hope to have a 400gig HDD SATAII setup soon, 200 for storeage and 200 for play. With all the mods the 200gig storeage will come in handy. LOL

Have pre-ordered SH4 but it will sit on the shelve till some one brings SH3 into SH4 so you can play SH3 a atlantic game as the Germans or SH4 As the US or Japs in the pacific on the same game then you will have a total sub WWII game

I will stick to SHIII modded up to GWX, as that is all I play now, except for a few hours every now and then, that I spend playind Combat Mission, Barbarossa to Berlin. (Ost Front Buff checking in.)

Yeah..you Ost Front buffs. Western Europe and Northern Africa are for wimps.

I have no intention of deleting SH3 from my HD.

sh3 killer will be sh5

I've played SH3 to death. It's a good game, and although I've spent many an hour patrolling the virtual Atlantic and prefer this theatre to the Pacific, I'll be sticking with SH4. This has as much to do with the 4:3 aspect ratio and 1024x768 res limitation as anything else (yes, I'm aware of the d3d9.dll hack).

Just too many improvements over it's predecessor.

[John|Blackthorne]

I'm still getting used to SH3 and haven;t actually played TGW so it will be a while before i'll buy and play SH4. I'm curious though as how much harder/easier it will be.

Shouldn't we wait and see just how much the game has improved before asking this question?

If you take a look over at sim hq you will find that again the core game has not been changed but the graphics have been given a face lift. A new trend for sim publishers?

That is what the bean counters want, and they usually get what they want. Graphics to attract people in the shop, doesn't matter if that leaves little time to polish the rest of the game. I'm sure many developers would prefer to work on their games a little longer, but unfortunately they often don't have a choice
