    Anyone see the Civ3 add in the latest PCGamer zine?

    In the latest PC Gamer magizine, (September 2001) there is a one page add for Civilization III. It looks kinda like the 'offical' box art. Its engraved slate with Civilization III in it without the wierd shadowy fiqures in it and flames are coming up from the bottom left corner.

    Well, the main reason why I'm bringing it to everyones attention is because about 3 inches above the bottom in nice bold white letters, it says, and I quote, "COMING OCTOBER 2001"

    Isn't that wierd? Didn't we all just conclude that October is some made up, date? Oh well, we'll have to see won't we?

    Could you provide a link?
    However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

      I'd be interested in seeing a link also. . not so much to confirm the date. . as to see how someone would link to a magazine.

        What I was trying to intend is if he could maybe show a picture of it, by scanning it. If he has the resources to do so. I should have used a different choice of words but I didn't, sorry.

          Well i dont have a scanner... but I do have a digital camera! I mean, if I scanned it, i wouldnt even believe it cause it looks so easily photoshop makeable

          However the hard part is that i'm not to knowledgeable about html and what not.... if I took the picture, how do I put it onthe boards? Can I just use that niffty attach file option? Or do I need to do something else?

              Yeah, you would just use that.

              Thank you for trying to find out how to do it.

                  Several companies that allow you to pre-order the game are saying October 27, i think.

                    Of course they are, they can get more money that way. People won't pre-order things that will becoming out in 2002. If they start pre-ordering now and keep pushing the date out on the release for the game they will have more people pre-ordering the game. It's just a simple marketing scam.

                      ohhhh ya i forgot it cant come out in 2001 becouse then they might make a ****ty game..... for the first time as if the date October cant be possible, i mean, how could we think that 5-6 preveiws, 2 magazine, and several shoping websites are wrong. Of course we all know that fraxis won't shoot for the holiday season. Everyone on this forum has cross examined what they said, then somehow read there minds and can firmly state that they will ship it 2002 NOT 2001. off course they will all make an ass of themselves when it comes in october, then i will laugh in there face becouse fraxis will make the holiday rush, who wouldn't, and off course i will be flamed by all the neigh sayers and i couldn't give a dam becouse THIS is a forum and ill say whatever the fu-ck pleases me.

                      Good day!

                        The GoneGold website has the Civ3 expected date listed as 10-17-2001 with a comment of fingers crossed. All this means is that he talked to the publisher and they gave him a date. He might have talked to Firaxis and asked them if they could make the date but I have no way of knowing if he has done this yet or not. You can see the full chart of expected release dates and comments at http://www.gonegold.com/releases/ if your interested. GoneGold tracks the progress of damned near every game and is one of the better sources for release date information.

                        I hope to see the fingers crossed comment upgraded to "should be" or "on target" as the months go by but only time will tell. Quite often the games slip back weeks and months as the expected release date nears. Just the way the industry works. Its a good site and he reports the information he can collect. His sources are better than most but that doesn't mean the game won't slip back months.

                          Check out the ALPHA tag on CIV III in
                          this section

                          Unless they somehow do not need a BETA period ("we play the game constantly"....) draw your own conclusions....

                            It will say Alpha until Firaxis announces the game is in Beta which they haven't yet. Also note that sometimes you might find conflicting information in the various sections of the website as well as it is ALOT of information to manage and the best I can tell most of it is done by one man. However I know he updated the release dates section in the past day or 2 from what he said in the daily Roll Call.

                            Don't feel bad, I been waiting for Wizardry 8 for years and may never get it. At least Civ3 has somebody wanting to publish it once it gets done (or possibly even before). Civ 3 will arrive soon enough IMHO, or course the sooner the better.

                              I think Brigs said in an interview somewhere that CivIII would be released in Q4 2001, thus it's not strange at all that everyone seems to aim at a 4th quarter release.

                              Somehow everybody at this forum screams that the game won't be ready to be released in Q4 2001. WHY ? Did you guys play a beta ? nah, are any of you guys in contact with Firaxis programmers that say so ? nah.

                              just because one of you started to shout '2001 will be too early' everybody is doing now. I assume that if Firaxis releases the game, it will be finished.

                              please stop the '2001 is too early' hype.
