An Open Letter to Neal and the SH5 Developer team

[cappy70]

Well,,I've been here long enough in SUB SIM(10 years next year) and a Sim freak for a looooong time,,( I've not posted much, but read;YES) to see these tendencies from many that they want, not a Sim, but the real world really squeezed into the gameplay,that is just ok, but with one slight complication and that is also when the game turn into a: "Not-game", but an idea that one want it to become really real, real like the real world we live in with all that comes with that,that is also ok from the perspective of a Sim fan,,but.....................................
Here's the basic problem: It is a G A M E.

In a game (sim) concept you have the idea to mimic the real world and try to follow the real world as much as you can and for example in SH3 they did a fantastic job, BUT SH3 was not still the real world and after SH3 these tendencies with SH3 as a "measure-bar" has become worse ( 'worse' is the only word I can find for now to use). I want , yes, a Dynamic campaign too, but I don't want a n o t h e r SH3 , I have that game already.

SH5 comes with a new concept, 3D interior (FPS style), RPG, dynamic campaign and so on and also with some daring things like ending at 1943 with 1 Sub.
("All movies cannot be made the same way").
If all this holds together , just fine and I don't give a .

Well, let this game be released first, give it a chance and t h e n we'll see if any fears were well founded or not ( "mass hysteria" as Neal called it and I agree 100%) .
I'm so tired of seeing this "pre-making-the-game-already-being-ready-painting-the-devil-on-the-wall" things coming out.
Wishes and ideas to a concept is one thing, but this pre-making the game even before it is ready/shown as ready is just

Why just not make SH3 ver.1.02.03.04.05.06.......................

( I still play GWX SH3 all the time, but I want a new subsim as well now and then).
...just my 2 cents.
