Well, read the subject. Any info on this?

I would hope so, but I suspect not.
And please, let's not turn this into a europe/us bashing thread as has happened on oh so many message boards with similar topics.----

Even if it gets out in the US first, what's the problem? Very soon it will be in Europe too.
But for the time in between (where it is in USA but not in Europe)
the american Apolytoners must bring us full coverage

Long live Amazon.com. Where ever it will be released first, I'll get it

if they're gonna do it lilke any other game it will probably first be released in the US and a couple of weeks after that it will be available all over Europe. But if they, Firaxis, want to do it special, and that's what i'm hoping for being an European, the release date will be the same all over the world, say December 25 midnight GMT. All over the world Civvers would bring their sleeping bag and wait outside the store until their long awaited game is finally released......ah, who am i kidding, first US, then poor old Europe..

Well as Infogrames is a French company, there is a lot more chance of it being released simultaneously in Europe and US, so don't worry too much. Although I dislike it when these things aren't done at the same time...Speaking of Erith:

Having seen Australian suppliers claiming that CivIII will be avalible here in October, perhaps it will be a global release...
Hmmm... 20-10-2001 according to one place.Introvert:

If they've done a good job of implementing internationalisation in CIV3, there's no good reason why the releases shouldn't be nearly simultaneous. PC games are not like the movie indutry, which deliberately staggers the release of movies so they can ship the film reels from one country to another.None, Sedentary, Roving, Restless, Raging ... damn, is that all? Where's the "massive waves of barbarians that can wipe out your civilisation" setting?Comment

I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few delays in some parts of the world, there always is, and the people in those parts of the world are - for some odd reason - always surprised and outraged. But unless some disaster happens to stop the shipment, the most you'll have to wait is a day or two, no big deal. (though it may seem like one, at the time)Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

all of the uk previews have said that civ3 will come out in the uk a month or so after it comes out in the us...
according to amazon.co.uk civ3 is going to come out in the uk on 28 December, 2001
according to amazon.com civ3 is going to come out in the us on October 31, 2001...hmmm that's interesting, they have moved back the release date by a week
so i dunno but that is the word from amazonComment

I hope..
I hope that the german version will be released a bit after the other versions, since my experience says, that translated version will have a second allaround check....(my CTP2 has no bugs).
I dont wanna hurry my life up buying a computer game and if so, i want a working one.Comment

I will be very disapointed if infrogrames decides to release civ3 in the USA before any where else. It's like what EA did with Black And White. Released it a week earlier just because the americans kicked up a fuss about Lionhead wanting a global release.
It really pisses me off! Bloody capilist pigs. Think they own the world.
No offence anyone. And nothing personal. Just my inner self speaking out
SorryComment

If Korn is right, I honestly hope civ3 flops. A month is a ridiculous period of time for a computer game. December 28th? Isn't that a bit of a stupid time to release a game? AFTER Christmas?
I don't think it will be that long, though.Comment

They don't deliberately do this to cause pain. Sierra decided to hold Arcanum back from US release while worldwide localisation took place. You should have heard the fuss at the four month delay!
Every country has their own certification process and local copy protection standards, manual writers, printers etc. I hate the fact that the UK sometimes has to suffer a delay, but I live with it. The alternative is 35-40$ extra in shipping and import taxes. What I hate is when they decide the European market is too small to warrant any local distribution at all. We may only be 5% the value of the US market, but you'd have thought 99% of the expensive hard work would have already been done!To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
