You're forgetting that this is Apolyton. Noone here has a life or anything else better to do

I'm happy to give you something to do in your miserable life

Just came back from the holidays. Great! Now I'm just waiting for more information (like all of us...)

Ok, if the new stuff won't appear at the site in a few days, the "SOON" concept will be really gone!
It's been over 2 months already

Yes, it's tough not to be overanxious. "Soon" for us is quite a different scale than "soon" for the developers!

But since that "soon" is directed to us, one doesn't need to be a very professional communicator to understand that "soon" has expired in our thoughts for weeks already!

Soon really means "we think it will be a few weeks, but reserve the right to further delay if we wish"

Being around a lot of software development activities in my career, this comes as absolutely no surprise.

If they don't give a specific date, they don't know themselves when they'll get around to it.

Don't forget that most if not all of the PR will be handled by the publisher, and as of yet 2K Games is still for all intents and purposes a non-existant entity. I can imagine that putting up some Civ4 screens is not their top priority ATM, compared to say hiring employees, setting up a distribution network, making logos and their own website, etc...

Plus, I've said it before and I'll say it again: we'll only get real info in the run-up to or at E3. Anything released before that will just be teaser stuff which leaves you wanting more (as was the case with the PC Gamer articles )

Damn, you got my hopes up by bumping this thread.

2K Games has already been in existence, just be other names. The distribution has been in place through Take 2 for over 5 years. If anything, they are just getting info on the games from the developers at this point, and telling them what the expectations are.

I 2nd that we will not know much, as it will steal the thunder from E3. They don't spend millions there to reshow old info...
