That could be any time from January to December next year as no quarter was given. So yeah, that's pretty accurate.

I love it when someone finds something, and takes the time to post it to us.

And yet the first reply is from someone who decides to be sarcastic and negative.

Thumbs up for you sir, you are a winner.

It's basically saying that beta will not happen this year, so that is "news". How reliable is that? I wouldn't bet my house on it, but it's something. Hell it's more "news" than Smed repeating what he said at Fan Faire about the PS3, and that thread has tons of pages.

Probably a shitty translation. I speak fluent Mandarin and I can look at the "translation" and see what sort of combinations it probably came up with. One of the words for "planet" is xíngxīng, and the last character (xīng) means "star". Before anyone says anything, yes I know a planet isn't a star - tell that to the Chinese.

Either that, or it's a working/localisation/working-localisation title.

Has he been right about anything else? I see no reason to believe the Chinese publisher over Smed. Plus, maybe he means CN beta?

Considering how wrong recent translations from this place have been I think I will stay away from this one newswise.

As someone who know chinese fairly well, I`m confident to say there`s nothing new here. Basically Tony Park is talking about how 9c need more hand for upcoming betas of these games.

The important thing to remember here is Firefly speaks fluent Mandarin

I didn't think getting a happy ending at a chinese massage parlor can make someone fluent.

Which, as someone pointed out, is completely different from Chinese.

I dunno. I don't think it was that, because your mother had a mouth full of Freaktrain and MAN-naise... so I didn't pick it up from her.
