Calm Down Wulfmann!

And Please No Further SF-Whining Here!
It Will not do Anything But Bad.

Wulfmann · 04-08-06, 11:04 AM

No need to be condescending, I am quite calm.

But the inclusion of SF is the most important factor in considering a purchase of this version. Damaging intrusive software has no place in legally purchased products and this should be driven home to UBI at every opportunity.

Call it whining, I donâ€™t care. Sell your shares of SF and leave the power of the dark side

What will do everything that is bad is having Starforce in SH4 and I believe we can and should do everything possible to prevent that.

When ever we post on SH4 it should always include â€œWell, as long as it does not include Starforce, I will buy itâ€

Once UBI has figured out this does them more harm than good (it certainly does us more harm as it does not prevent pirating but threatens the legal buyer) we can praise them for putting the welfare of their loyal legal customers first.

The Starforce issue is being discussed in the General topics forum:
http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=51186

It appears Ubisoft is dropping SF for its latest releases.
Presumably they will not use it for SHIV as well.

I've never heard of Stareforce. Starforce, yes, but Stareforce?

This year

I think they are pulling the chain.

Kruger · 06-25-06, 06:05 PM

Now...I do know that they-'e working hard on SH4. But they won't release it this year. If they do...I"ll eat my socks with mustard.

Safe-Keeper · 06-25-06, 08:32 PM

I hope they won't release this year. To be more accurate

Damnit, I saw this thread and thought it was new, and it's from way back

.
I wondered why it hadn't been posted on the main page yet

RichyS · 06-27-06, 12:33 PM

Just had a look at play.com and seen SH4 as a provisional release date of 06th Oct 2006

Agrippa · 06-27-06, 08:37 PM

That release date will almost certainly be pushed back. That always happens. Particularly, it seems, with games I'm really looking forward to.

The danger is that, while the developers may need more time to actually finish the game, the distributer will release it in November or December to be in time for christmas. This seems to happen quite often, and almost always is a bad idea, ending up in a very buggy release that has to be patched up to the gills, with modders just trying to fix problems between patches rather than making actual enhancements to the game.

McBeck · 06-28-06, 02:13 AM

Well if one think of it, it might not be unrealistic, because its not a new engine.
Its updates, new 3D models and missions. Should be possible

Immacolata · 06-28-06, 09:48 AM

I wish people would stop replying in a 4 month old thread called Hot News about SH IV. . .

D'oh! I just did that!
