I remember SE4 had a huge list pre-release of what's in the game.Nothing about SE5 on the MM website at all..
The SE4 feature list did not surface until only a few months before the game's release... Aaron is wary of posting a feature list early on, then having several or many features from that list not be in the game, disappointing gamers... But you can find fan-compiled feature lists on these sites:

(note that SEnet is currently down at the moment, so only Kwok's site will work right now)

Every beta tester played and liked SE4 for the gameplay...
That isn't entirely true. A good portion of the beta testers for SE4 strongly disliked the game and left forever or just kept playing SE3, only to slowly fade away. I hope SE5 does not cause the same sort of massive schism that SE4 did...
