release date

[Bighoss]

does it strike anyone as odd that we're in the last month of quarter 1 of 2003 and the no one even knows the release dat that's kinda weird I think. I'm guessing now its early quarter 2 of 2003

We'll they don't like to give dates unless they are absolutly sure, and Beta is too unpredictable.

[korezero]

We don't know, right now it is still End of Q1, which ends in 22 days so I can see why your skeptical.

[Hellsfire123]

they will tell us once we are into open beta. I saw two weeks in open before release, maybe more.

[korezero]

Ah, I don't remember which game this was.. I played open Beta for it and it was released 2 weeks later... Ah ya, Neocron...

[�io]

Meh, as long as i'm in open beta i don't mind it getting pushed back.

I'm thinking it will only be released around first week of next month.

[OmnipotentKiwi]

If it goes gold by Friday, it will be released Q1, if not, it is unlikely.

Don't sweat it though, they will have enough people in beta soon enough.

[korezero]

As long as I get to play in any stage of beta that will hold me until release.

I think they will go gold at the same time as open is started. Mass produce the CDs, then on release day put out a patch to bring everybody up to the results of Open.

How long between Gold and release you think? 2 weeks between starting production and release sounds too soon between production time and transport. Figure a week for destribution, 2 weeks production of the initial shipment to stores... needs to go gold tomorrow. I doubt that will happen.


In other news SB went gold a couple days ago, so I can see it being a April first release Now I just need 3 paychecks to get new monitor, 2 for the graphics card, and to pay for them Im gonna have to empty my wallet.

[Nightmare]

Don't lose hope yet guys, they never said it's notgoing to make it on time. I have faith in the dev team that they'll get it out by the end of March.

[Destroyeron]

I can wait until release.

[Subliminal]

How long exactly would it take to produce say 20,000 copys of the game? I have mine reserved so if the number is limited i will probably still get a copy on release day. I can see release as April 4th-10th.

We don't know if the beta is a low level beta, or a fine tuning beta, really, for all we know, it could be nearly finished...
