2011 Release - Oh look flying pig

Rabb · 2011-04-12, 05:52 AM

Most people here will be seasoned PC gamers. So what I don't understand is why people still buy in to the idea that games will be released when the developers say they will. How many games release on time, how many even get released the same year they are originally supposed to.

PS:N Q4 2011 not bloody likely, seriously guys I want it as much as the rest of you but do you really think it will come out before 2012.

I may just be a cynical old git but I can't see this being released before Q4 2012.

Any other predictions?

I think it is quite hard to predict anything with so little information. But if you are the kind that put faith into the company developing the game than a good prediction would be somewhere near the end of this year?

If I were SOE I would aim for the Christmas season always a good time to release a game.

How about it comes out when it comes out?? I dont mind any push backs with releases, it means the game will be better.

I still want info and updates on the game though even if its going to take longer to come out, im thinking early 2012 release and beta around july/august this year.

Geist · 2011-04-12, 09:52 AM

I'm thinking early next year is Beta, and Christmas 2012 is release. Think of everything we know. Little Info about the game+ SOE restructuring+ the precedents set by games before it= Delay Delay Delay= Q4 2012.

I would be surprised if the game comes out at all this year, with the lack of any info at this point i would agree with the post above, no release till mid to late 2012, I hope were wrong!!

I wouldn't mind if it came out sometime late in 2012. Gives me some time to look into BF3.

We should merge all of these pointless threads into one big emo cry-fest.

Yeah Q4 2012 sounds like a realistic prediction for a game with a new engine with decent polish. Probably beta right before release. Skyrim is the only game I care about in Q4 2011.

10 out of 10 would read again

There are a lot of good games due out this year. I will have plenty to occupy my time. So I can wait patiently to see PS:N "IF and when" it's released. And before you start - The Agency - Sony cut it because it's in trouble, but only time will tell if these cuts were enough.

You seem to be the only one getting emotional. The people like me who don't have much faith in SOE are simply saying we don't trust them to deliver on what they say. You on the other hand blindly believe and call anyone who doesn't emotional and a baby...

OP doesn't sound emo at all simply rational and discussion Planetside: Next on a discussion forum...

Exactly, having to cut 3 stations as well as 200+ employees means the company is struggling, bad. Whether it had any effect on PSN isn't even debatable. Of course it did, or they woulnd't have to cut employees, and facilities. I know that the cuts had nothing to do with PSN, so they say..but do you think they are going to go around proclaiming the company is in trouble? Probly not..

Looks like a lot of people now agree with my prediction I made months ago:

http://www.planetside-universe.com/f...ad.php?t=35808

Release date May next year if they push to get out a piece of trash early. End of year 2012 if they take the time to get it right. I don't mind waiting. Hopefully they will do it right and release it when it's finished.

Raymac · 2011-04-12, 01:15 PM

I guess its possible that SOE will only release 2 games in Jan. 2011 and call it a year, but I'm thinking they will be working really hard to get PS:N released before the end of the year.

It may push into Jan. 2012, but I just have a feeling the game is closer to completion than most of you seem to believe. Call me naive and idealistic, but I'm still hopeful that we will be seeing beta sometime this summer.
