As I wait for my Deluxe copy to arrive tomorrow, I sit and wonder... Does anyone here play Silent Hunter 3, or has anyone got SH4 preordered?

Hunt, hide, and kill as you take command of U.S. submarines and crews and navigate the treacherous waters of the Pacific during WWII.

Silent Hunter®, the industry-leading naval warfare simulation franchise for over a decade, returns to its roots with next-generation graphical realism, immersive gameplay, innovative crew evolution, and more action than ever before.

Developed by the same Ubisoft team that delivered Silent Hunter 3, the “king of sub games,” to worldwide critical acclaim, the 2007 installment offers the most memorable, accessible, and empowering submarine simulation experience ever.

Hollywood Blockbuster Experience:
Lifelike graphics and spectacular audio/visual effects offer an incredibly immersive gaming experience. Witness historical accuracy and amazing attention to detail, from breathtaking Pacific settings to more than 75 authentic-looking war machines such as the U.S. Gato sub, the Japanese Yamato flagship, and the Kawanishi aircraft.

Large-Scale Naval Engagements:
Witness epic naval engagements either firsthand or via radio messages and orders from high command.

Innovative Crew Evolution:
Earn upgrades and experience to guide the evolution of crewmembers, making your men the most effective naval force in the Pacific theater.

Immersive Single-Player Gameplay:
Diverse mission objectives and events on over 15 maps combined with unique rewards make each campaign a unique experience. Commandeer various U.S. submarines and progress in your career as a naval officer via improved dynamic campaigns in Career mode, or dive into ‘instant actions’ and single patrols for a quick fight.

Addictive New Online Adversarial Mode:
Join forces with up to 8 friends via LAN or 4 via the Internet in either cooperative or adversarial gameplay modes. Scripted and generated mission types allow for epic online battles and unlimited replayability.

I played Silent Hunter III for quite a long time...
didn't know that there will be a SH IV though, going to keep an eye on it.

[Cerberus]

I'm gonna deeply consider purchasing this.

[A.J.Sawyer]

I'll do a quick review when I get it tomorrow or Thursday.

I just tried this game, it's awesome! I have only tried it on 100% realism setting but so far it seem quite intuitive and not overly complex.

It's almost like Steel Beast PRO but for U-Boats instead.
I recommend it if you're into simulators.

i used the play SH III everyday untill i found out Ubisoft used Starforce (which was causing wierd problems on my computer). Im definately getting SH 4.

[A.J.Sawyer]

It arrived!

After you patch it to version 1.1 its got the best bug ever, Pressing "a" results in a CTD

[JellyBelly]

And I thought Arma had issues...

[A.J.Sawyer]

Nah, ArmA had more issues, this is just a silly bug.

Hopefully your can rebind your keys then? Unless if you want to live with the funny bug that IMHO is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of, ever.
