Default Re: Aaron Hall Spotted on SE4 Yahoo Group

What, no one remembers the Yahoo group?
That was where all the seminal discussion of SE4 was started, all before the game was ever released and Shrapnel put up this forum for us to discuss it!
I wish I could remember more of the people who used to hang around there, but I was one of them

OH HELL NO! Who ever you are play more SEIV and less SE III and you will learn that SE IV is far better than SE III.

I agree SE4 is alot better than SE3 and my hopes for SE5 are that it is a improved SE4 with 3d system maps and tactical combat and more modding options.

Yeah, when I tried playing a game of SEIII, it just wasn't the same and I quickly went back to playing SEIV. Some of the features in SEIII were nice though: the detailed in-game help, the resizeable windows, the construction queues system, the ability to choose the races' technologies at the start of the game, etc. But SEIV is a much nicer game!

Of course there are better features in SEIII than in Gold (Kamog pointed out some of them) but SEIV is a superior game...

So I think what Aaron might have been saying is a Lot of Players want some of the features of SEIII Returned, and i agree partially, theres some good stuff that wasn't put in SEIV. I'm thinking thats what he means as even with these features SEIII wasn't as good.

So hopefully we can mix the best of both, i better start stocking up on the pro plus tablets and my lucozade reserves

Default Re: Aaron Hall Spotted on SE4 Yahoo Group

Here's my take on what se5 will probably end up being like,..

Gameplay = SE:IV++
Features = SE:III+-, SE:IV +-, SE:V+

As you can see from these equations, the gameplay will exceed se4 and features will come from both se3 and se4 along with all new (super-duper) features unique to se5.

I think that all people who buy se5 will want to buy a second copy and place it in a safety deposit box. (for safe keeping.)

Here's a question, If a Limited 'Special Signed Edition' was made available, what would you people think was a fair price? (what? did another novel marketing idea just pop out of my head again? geeze, I need to find a cork. ) )

Cheers!
