I think it's a good time to tell what actualy is in the game, not what didn't make it into it. And I'm not thinking about release announcement (full of errors). Some screens looks great, others look mediocre. There is no single one video up to date captured on decent rig showing something more then 1-2 min of flying over water.
I've already pre-ordered CE but right now, I have to honestly admit that I'm begining to wonder if I didn't rushed this decision. I'm not even sure if I can get my money back if I cancel this pre-order, but if I woun't see/read somthing solid about content/performance/new features within 2-3 next weeks I will check what I can do about this pre-order.
I'm sorry if that sounds like whining but I just wanted to share my (and probably some others) doubts about this long awaited title.
I'm not telling I woun't buy it eventually, I probably will, but with current PR policy I'm begining to lean toward waiting for reviews and forum opinions before I open my wallet. Please make me really want to buy it first day!
PS. I really don't understand how things showed in 2006 as a main features of the game woun't be available on the realease almost 5 years later...
