you have never heard of SIMHQ?

It's one of the biggest forums to discuss all things related to simulations. They have no more vested interest in the game than this site does. Tom Cofield has played SH4 for a long time as you can see from his posts on the SH forum at SIMHQ.

I am starting to wonder if posters really want to get an objective opinion on the game or just want to advance their particular viewpoint.

I think it's an excellent preview. After all, he knows where to go for the best info:

Take a look that demonstrates the reloading of the forward torpedo tube as represented in the game.

Preview? What preview? Out of the 3 pages, the first is a brief overview of the series, the second is just a long praise of the visuals, and the third... well, the third only repeats what Ubi already said about the game in the past. I could find nothing new in the whole story. I expected more from a place called SimHQ.
In comparison, the Polish preview that surfaced earlier this week is far better and competently written.

Bottom line (IMHO): I'm not saying it is, but this could very well be an advertising story on behalf of Ubi. It has the proper looks.

Okay, but it's still a rubbish preview. Being a long-time player doesn't make one good at writing previews.

I've heard of SimHQ but I don't think I've ever visited it before.

I'm not sure what to make of your final comment. Is it aimed at me?

no, I should have put it in a separate post.
