Game delayed until summer, Ugh Options

[kreese12]

Well that's a bummer. Looks like it's now pushed back to the summer. Sure hope the game isn't vaporware. It seems that they are determined to release the game after all of the competition :

WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO RELEASE THE DAMN THING!!!!???

[Morgoth]

On Thursday.

Honestly, the delays aren't that bad. After the initial shock of knowing we'll have to wait longer, it doesn't bother me much. I'd much rather have a polished game that a buggy P.O.S.

If it isn't buggy is not Obsidian.

I dunno though. The whole situation just seems a bit ...concerning. The game appears to have been ready a while ago. Much of the folks working on the game seemed to have been shuffled to new projects. There is no way it has just been bugs they have been working on for multiple months. For me, it just doesn't all add up.

I really think they'd also want to beat Splinter Cell Conviction to market if at all possible.

Still really looking forward to AP... just hope it turns out alright, and actually does get released.

Touché.

In the worst case scenario we travel to an alternate universe and get a copy from there. And grab a Duke Nukem Forever while we're at it.

Last I heard even in many alternate universes the Duke is still delayed.

[Morgoth]

The Duke cannot be delayed because there was never a release date.

AMIRITE?

[Purkake]

Shock and awe.

AMIRITE?

In these troubled economic times, I believe the correct word is "furloughed."

Duke Nukem was never delayed... it was actually released and was so absolutely freakin' awsome it blew our minds and we have no recollection of it being released. It was THAT good.

Why do you remember it! :I thought we agreed to never tell anyone, the world isn't ready for that knowledge:

I know everyone says "dont trust gamestop.com's release date schedule" but you know what?? In this case I'm so glad I did. After hearing the news that Alpha Protocol was delayed til Summer I was wondering what the heck was going on; ever since November 2009 Gamestop.com reported Alpha Protocol to be released June 1st 2010, so for 3 months I was not expecting Alpha Protocol. Then todays news hit "summer 2010"; funny enough June is Summer so really there might be a chance Alpha Protocl can be released June 1st; and if so I had nothing to fear.

I did hop these boards though to find the original press release from November and sure enough it did say 'delayed til spring 2010' and now of course it says 'summer'

Ahh well; like I said I'm kinda glad Gamestop.com reported AP to be released June 1st so i'm not totally bummed. Spose worse case scenario is that it gets released by September (3 months past June)
