iplaygames2 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Hey, moon has 2 posts in this thread, consisting of 3 words total (excluding his signature/name). The 3 word collection consists of 1 word, used 1x in the first post and 2x in the second post. Wonder if THAT has ever been done before? !?

It's been posted that the demo will be released near simultaneously with the full version. Not a big fan of this idea, but I guess they are using the last few weeks to continually polish the game, and the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicdain Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 It seems there will be a delay in the announcement of the release and pre-order date due to an unexpected bug - take a look at the blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scipio Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Well, Moon said 'middle middle' of March. Since March has 31 days, this means 15 and a half day. Pre-order must start at high noon on 16th March! If we keep time zones in mind, we can give him a two day's grace. But I recomment to gather tar and feathers anyway. Just for the case.

That becomes a hostage to fortune. I'd also like to see these announcements being made here on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9crump Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 They should just release the game, you are always going to have problems for some rigs, so why make everyone wait. That is what patches are for....Even the greatest games have patches. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theBrit Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 I understand we have a problem with the code...but in essence why does that stop buying the game pre-order? Surely we are entering into a contract that when the game is released we have instant access and download rights...not to mention a reduce 'Pre-order' price. 'When' at this stage is not important, as we know its not going to be delayed by months, dont we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user73 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 hmm, so when do they think they will release it then ? Mid april ? Matthias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franz Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 release end of April, early May at the earliest I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9crump Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Why cant they simply release the single player portion of the game now, and then release the downloadable multiplayer next when it is fixed. Everyone is tired of waiting and this way we can atleast play the game for awhile and get use to it. then play multiplayer when it is ready. I for one would not mind if they took this approach. It just seems like more excuses... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus86 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 *irony on* great idea *irony off* It's no excuse, it's honest community support. They could have said nothing. I don't understand people. Bitching around because of no information, bitching around because there are information. No possibilty to please people. It's just the official announcement that is delayed, not the release.So far it's just an info, that a problem with the multiplayer part occured. Nothing more.

Avwriter Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I concur. Delays are simply the nature of the software industry. The developers/publishers are merely being prudent by not promising a specific release date before they are ready. People may whine when a title is delayed, but the very same people will be the first to whine even more if the game is released in a poor state. Moreover, their decision not to accept preorders shows that they respect their customers. I have seen games for which preorders were accpeted and then the product was delayed for weeks or even months. That is a nightmare for all sides involved, and I am glad to see that Battlefront does not engague in such practices. As for the question of releasing the single player alone, I seriously doubt it is that simple. If the game was not designed to be modular to begin with, then you can't just rip out a portion of it and expect that portion to work by itself.

Matchstick Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I have seen games for which preorders were accpeted and then the product was delayed for weeks or even months.My pre-order for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was placed on 27th April 2004 so it will have been on pre-ordered for just under 3 years (assume it does finally ship next week). Of course there is an upside in that I should be one of the first in line to get the Limited Edition Tin and I will be paying £7 less that the current price [ March 16, 2007, 05:01 AM: Message edited by: Matchstick ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
