Beta?

[imgod2u]

I know the final might not be out for a while. But what stage is the game in? Has the structure of the game been complete, or is it still in alpha form? If it is in beta, has the beta been released?

For that matter, when will we be getting a demo?

Sid did release a demo of SMAC about 2 months before the game, maybe Firaxis will do it again.

FIRAXIS has said several times that they are aiming at November-December for the release date. With that in mind, I'm sure their still in the mid stages of it. And usually game companies dont release a BETA until soon before the release date.

hmmm that's gamespot saying what firaxis is aiming for
it's not firaxis saying what firaxis is aiming for

[belusa]

You're right, but let's hope this is a true info

[MarkG]

meanwhile pc gamer(i think) wrote about early 2002....

anyway, unless we hear from firaxis themselves....

If not winter, it will be spring 2002... That's the latest I have heard.

[MarkG]

and if it's not spring, it will definately be summer

Hopefully this won't be one of those: 'Always delayed release' titles

Not that we want it released half-finished either...
