Just wait.

Heheh, pretty true. However it's better to expect less and be pleasantly surprised if we actually get more than a re-hash of SH3.

But I certainly agree with the poster above you: I really don't see the need for yet another Atlantic SH. Not at this point in time. I'd much prefer a Cold War game by 2010 and AFTER that a return to the WWII Atlantic SH.

I woudn't mind a stand-alone expansion (or even an add-on) in the Atlantic for SH IV using the same engine. It certainly doesn't need better GFX at this point. It would also cut development time and costs. But "all new code" smells to me like essentially a graphics update, with perhaps better physics and better support for the modding community. But do we really need it at this point? I feel that Ubisoft could do better use of money by launching a new spin-off set in the Cold War and THAT would justify the time and money for the "all new code".

But you're right, lets wait and see.
