PCG UK indicates 2013 Launch

Marsgrim · 2012-04-19, 06:40 AM

The latest UK PC Gamer has a hands on play test report on PS2. Although NOT confirmed by the developers, the reporter indicates he thinks it will be a 2013 launch.

They've also taken it out of their 9+ month look ahead (it doesn;t feature on 3 or 6 month look aheads either).

Is the article just the same as the US one?

SniperSteve · 2012-04-19, 07:01 AM

Yeah, it is as far as I know.

Fenrod · 2012-04-19, 07:01 AM

I hope they just made a mistake. A HUGE mistake.

Their guess is as good (or bad) as anyone else's

Yes it is, written by the same bloke and based on the same visit he did to SD

Its just a guess its as good as anyone's probably I do remember with Stalker a while ago they said it was going to be a year for launch and it came out 4 months afterwards

they put something down like most shops would do for a release

Mastachief · 2012-04-19, 08:01 AM

its almost may with no due date for beta a 2013 date for release is to be expected.

Mod · 2012-04-19, 08:05 AM

When we were hoping for a beta release in March, an actual release of 2013 seemed quite pesimistic. However, as we are still yet to see any beta news, let alone a date, a 2013 release date seems quite likely.

It is what it is, not really any more to say on the matter without more information.

NEWSFLASH:
Big PS2 news expected during E3 !!!

Early 2013 might not be too far off the mark, since it's a F2P game we could be in for a long beta. Tribes: Ascend was only just officially 'released', but the beta has been running since November of last year.

I'd guess November/early December if Beta goes well.

Even though there's no game to 'buy' for Christmas, good sense would be to have a game ready for those people who have time off work/school and who might have a bit of extra cash in their pocket for subscriptions and cash shop items.

Won't the customary new CoD be out in November-ish?

BTW, I wonder if they've ever considered selling Station Cash game cards in places like Wal Mart(assuming they don't already). Planetside themed boxes containing a SC card that are placed in the Wal Mart PC game section would be perhaps a good idea.

It's just an estimate based off what he saw, nothing more.
