I think SE 4 will still be around, mainly because i think SE 4 and SE 5 will be somehow "different" so there will still be reasons to play 4 and 5...

I think SEIV will continue its life for quite some time after SEV comes out. I also think SEV will grow into the same thing that SEIV is to us all.

I know I will continue to play PBW with SEIV until I get the hang of SEV's mechanics and so forth and learn some stratagy for it.

I can't wait to see if it will be possible to have games like RTH1 and RTH2 on PBW with SEV.

To Quote MM's news page,..

"..We've got big plans for this next Version including real-time 3D rendered graphics,.."

This is talking about the Starfury Engine being used in SE5, nowhere does it say "Real-Time Combat" I think this phrase is meant to inform you that the ships, planets etc will be 3D models as opposed to 2D bitmaps. I think you're jumping to the conclusions that "Real-time 3D rendered Graphics" is the same as "Real-time Combat".

I don't know what the combat 'mechanics' is going to be like in SE5, and I'm not going to make any assumptions.

Cheers!

P.S. I scanned through the MMChat transcript and only found two references to Real Time Combat and both instances were refering to 'other' products. Read the transcript again and see for yourself.

SEIV is a great game in it's own right.
I expect it will be around for a long time. People still play CIV II and chess, monopoly, etc....
