The 9 "PS2 beta Q1 2012" ...

[LZachariah]

I'm still hoping for beta in 2011!

[Hamma]

That is unlikely given what we have seen and know.

[LZachariah]

Sadly yes, and so I won't hold anyone to it. But I can still hope!

Smedley, Tray, and now The9 have all hinted at beta being around the end of this year, and "earlier than we expected".

How is this unlikely?

[Hamma]

I just don't see it happening around the holidays. We already are "end of this year" really.

[Bags]

My definition of "around the end of the year" is December +/- two months.

[Xyntech]

Oh please don't make us wait any longer than February. I hope you are right Bags.

Q1 could mean March though

If they go past March, I will be all kinds of sad.

[EASyEightyEight]

I'll $#!% my drawers if they announce beta on December 7th of this year.

I'd be fine with waiting into 2012 though. I mean, everything else I want is coming out next year anyway

[Graywolves]

Maybe that's when beta will be in china?

[Baron]

I just ordered a bunch of components from newegg to build a new PS2 rig ! This will all be obsolete by Q1 2012 !!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I hope when they say US they mean Europe...

And when they say Europe i hope they mean England, specifically.

Those continental types can't be trusted, they have too much... land.

Well lets take a look at it:

What we know is mostly done:

• At least 2 Environments for the most part
• Most basic TR Character Models are being finished up
• Towers seem to be done
• Facilities are just being textured, and are modeled.
• TR vehicles and some neutral vehicles are at least beginning to be modelled or nearing completion.
• The game is play-testable now.

What is still to be done:

• Vanu Characters
• Winter Enviroments
• Variety of facilities
• Balancing and Testing
• Variety of Vehicles

Judging by the size of the team, i'm fairly optimistic end of December could happen. I'm sure they're holding back on a lot of things.
