realese date????

[Cs_Saj]

realese date???? when is gone be in the shops..........


i know its early but anyway

[ionfish]

Autumn 2004, apparently.

[Zurgnoff]

sigh didnt diablo two teach anyone anthing the releas date for a game is constantly changing and eveloving with the game and can be found witht eh complex equation "original realease date + 2 years"

[Falcrum]

That equation is hardly complex.

[Starfisher]

The equation:

(Progress)/(Publisher Impatience) = Release Date

[thesamonthemoon]

function OnInit()

Original_Projected_release_date = GetAsNumber("Original_Projected_release_date")
local Current_Date = GetAsNumber ("Current_Date")
local Time_To_Projected_Release_date = Projected_release_date - Current_Date
local random_time_interval = rand(6) + 6
-- In months
local How_Much_Work_is_left = GetAsNumber ("Work_to_Do")
local Projected_release_date = GetAsNumber("Projected_release_date")
- Projected_release_date is presumably Current_Date + How_Much_Work_is_left

local Publisher_Impatience = GetPublisherSettingAsNumber("Publisher_Impatience")
-- Publisher Impatience is on a scale of one to ten

local Actual_Release_Date = ((How_Much_Work_is_left) / (Publisher Impatience)) + Time_To_Projected_Release_date
-- How_Much_Work_is_left is measured in months.
if Actual_Release_Date <= Original_Projected_release_date + 6 then
-- I'm not sure if <= is a real symbol
Actual_Release_Date = Actual_Release_Date + random_time_interval
end
endI think that will work. I haven't tested it though. ;)

Hmmm... It seems to give aproximately the right results for Halflife 2 when you do the math (although I understand there was some outside intervention on that one).

[Flame Carrier]

Is there gone be a demo realese

[Dread]

there is allready a demo out, a closed one but its a demo :P
become a fileplanet subscriber and you might get a demo of the game

[Ride]

All that fancy release date code is rubbish. It is well known that the actually release date of a title follows a Poisson process with mean 8 months starting from the original projected release date.

--Ride

[skrunt]

the beta isnt a demo, its a test. not for enjoying, for bug quashing. and release dates are directly related to the time it takes to complete the game. scalliwag.

[rocket_Magnet]

autumn 2004 is as close your gonna get

[Dread]

sorry, my bad, its a beta not a demo, sorry

[Star Wars Kid]

Hopefully DoW's release won't land too close to HL2's. $50 + $50 = SWK is broke

[reki]

hmm..

Dread, you're posting a reply to a guy who was banned six months ago in a seven month old thread that was started by another guy whose account is also suspended. On top of that, the answers to their questions are posted in the big sticky thread up the top of this forum.

Try to use some sense, people & please don't bump old, useless threads.

/me spanks Dread.

[Shifty]

I work at EBGames and our date is set for 9/16. It's been that date for the last three months so I don't forsee it changing.

[Crested_Ones]

Autumn 2004, apparently.

- apparently I'm the only one who noticed the label under your name ion, decievious trickster... NOW who do I believe?!

Can't wait for a demo...! :duck: :sink:

[Wolf Scout7]

Speaking of a demo...

Does anyone have a rough estimate on the release date for that? :heyhey:

[dmille]

Sometime after the end of both betas and before the CDs hit the shelves, I would expect :)

[Master-Demon]

...after betas and before release....i would say september...

EDIT:

just a thought:

closed beta: july
open beta: august
demo: september
release: october

don't kill me if i'm wrong, i'm just a little human :nana:

*hiding bolter*
we wont kill you...
yet...

the closed beta was first :p

[Master-Demon]

oops! *edited*

[Tigurius]

Meh, October seems kinda late. When has relic given out demos anyway? Before, same, or after the game is released? Anyway lets not make this to a demo tread...

Hopefully, earliest that I see the game coming out is late September, lets just hope for that.

No bumping old threads with inane replies like "lol" or "i agree". Only add to an old thread if your comments are relevant and would be seen as a viable addition to a thread. Continuing on a conversation dropped months ago is not a viable reason.

Currently, all we know is that the game is slated for release in Autumn 2004 (Fall 2004 for those of you in North America, Q4 2004 in international gibberish).

A demo is on the cards, but we don’t know when.

Please don’t post threads asking about these things as we will have to lock them. They serve no useful purpose and only clutter up the forum.
Owned. :D
