It means if they need a big selling game to make their Christmas 2001 sales numbers, then the game will be released. If they don't need to make their plan, then we'll get it when Firaxis deems it ready.
Of course that means if the game is released this year, it may be a bit buggy. Sorry guys, money talks."The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves."--Victor HugoComment

A few days ago we ran a news item about a report on The Adrenaline Vault's website that Civilization III is scheduled for a fourth quarter, 2001 release. This statement was in a press conference held by Infrogrames, CivIII's publisher, late last week. We contacted Firaxis Games' Kelley Gilmore, the company's Communications Manager, for confirmation.
We have not yet announced a release date for CivIII, Gilmore told us. You guys [Apolyton] will be among the first to know when we announce the date.
Once a date has been set and released by Firaxis, you'll find it listed here first.

ARRRRRGH! It'll be CTP2 all over again! And not every Sid game has been great out of the box (SMAC anyone?). Hope infogames is willing to wait past Christmas if necessary. Hey, if they need a game that bad, they should buy the rights to CTP2 and can probably fix all the bugs by Christmas and release it.Comment

SMAC just had Sid's name on it. That was a Brian Reynolds creation. But the point is well taken. I want them to take their time.I've been on these boards for a long time and I still don't know what to think when it comes to you -- FrantzX, December 21, 2001

Reynolds game, eh? I though it played like a watered down civ2 and, as someone around here put it, it had a map that looks like it is illuminated by the itty-bitty booklight. Just be sure to give Civ2 the proper play testing.Comment

Well I just hope this doesn't cause some kind of battle between the two groups. Hopefully Infrogames hasn't become overzealous by trying to tell Firaxis what to do.
Nothing is worse than when the "new guy" comes in, thinks he knows more than everyone else, and starts stepping on toes, and breaking something that was running great in the first place. And makes everybody that poured their heart and soul and LIFE into something...
Let's hope that isn't the case here.
Hey Mark and Dan, did you know you can go a long way with a smile, but that you can go a longer way with a smile and a gun?

Civ II also is a Brian Reynolds creation is it not, in fact, Sid says something like: "He did it all by himself, it was amazing."'We note that your primitive civil-^

1) CivIII will be released "pre-Christmas 2001"
2) It will be a marketing decision
3) It will be buggy
4) Everyone will buy it anyway
Bets anyone?

From what I understand of that Civ game of yours, it's all about launching one's own spaceship before the others do. So this is no big news after all: my father just beat you all to the stars once more. - Philippe BaiseComment

As much as I'd like to avoid cynicism, I have to agree, it likely will be a marketing decision. As for buggy, well, I'll stay cautiously optimistic on that one.
