Wonderful. Usually games' release date tends to be delayed

delayed

and delayed

It's a kind of magic

[MeaCulpa]

Halloween is 31/oct, right ?

So I will have to schedule my bad, bad flu for late october then.

I just hope it is really "done". I will never forgive them Civ3 and the bomber-intercept-bug-for-player-fighters. Such things must not happen with dozens (and more) beta test games....

Thanks, Mahdimael!

Mmmm, interesting, I have a few days holiday left, I will have to book some time off when I have a confirmed release date

just around when I need to get working on my paper

This is bad news. If they're done early, then give them an extra month of debugging to make it even more solid. If this is just a moneygrab by the publisher......disaster looms....

They've been telling for months now in interviews that the game is already practically finished and that they're working on improving the AI and plugging in graphics. My impression is the game could've been released even earlier if they wanted, but they didn't because they wanted to wait for the 'holiday season'.

Nothing to be worried about IMHO.

Maniac talking sense

I just want it to come out after my school year is [effectively] over (read: I've been accepted by a university )

Any naysayers without personal knowledge of the games development are talking out there ass.

If they had an original date of december, people would have thought that it was when the game was ready....
and a nov. date would have been too early for a bug free game.

Point being that any thoughts of when the game is "ready" is based on the orig. dev's rel. date.

For all ANY of us know, the game is in drydock as we speak waiting to be released. And the date is chosen for other factors.

Anyone thinking that the date of nov. 1 is the best date, is only swallowing the dev's line.

WHY SHOULD ANY OF US THINK THAT NOV.1 OR 14 WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE THAT IS THE DATE FOR THE BEST GAME?????
