putting a critique of SH5 aside for a brief moment, that was one hell of a screen shot, wasn't it? If we had SH5 graphics in SH4, that would be something.

Okay, time's up. back to bashing SH5!

Yup, merely by marrying the great graphics of SH5 with the game engine of SH4 with no improvements at all would have been a home run. Fixing some of the SH4 issues besides would have been a grand slam home run. Instead they foul tipped to the catcher, missing the ball almost entirely. The catcher didn't even have to move his glove.

WOW! That screenshot is amazing. Is that an actual untouched in game shot with mods, or was there some photoshopping involved? It's easy to see how you could be lulled into that eyecandy heaven. If SH4 could incorporate those graphics, I'd throw my other games in the garbage

I honestly don't see much of a difference between Silent Hunter 4 and Silent Hunter 5 in terms of the visuals. Does the "5" at the end of the name add that somehow or is there something else that I'm not getting?

What a perfect analogy, hits the nail on the head!

It's a pity the game play doesn't match the graphics.
