guns1inger Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 So I was on ebgames.com and noticed that they moved the date from Feb 05 to Dec 04. Are they completely off or do they know something we don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Tansill Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Wow thats pretty interesting. But I doubt anything would change unless you hard it here first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns1inger Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 I know. But it would be nice if it were true. EBGames has been wrong in the past, but sometimes they seem to know the true release dates before they're ever announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickboycp Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Gamestop has the 12/06/2004 release date too...but again, like someone else says, until someone says different here or at Lucasarts, then 2/8/2004 is still the official date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofAnakin Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 To be honest, I'd rather they had the later release date, just to make sure everything is in working order, rather than perhaps rushing to meet a december release date.

nightcleaver Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Maybe things are looking better than they originally expected -meeting deadlines ahead of time. I'd like that. But why not find more improvements? Add sidequests and stuff? I'd prefer they keep to the february release, if a little later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severxsever Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Whether the game is released in December or in February, it will have have the exact same amount of content. An earlier release simply means that it'll be a bit buggier than it would be, had it been released later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiquag Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I think July 2005 would be a more realistic release date. Lucas arts always posts an unrealistic release date, and then proceeds to push it back every other month. By the end of the summer the Feb 05 release date will turn into April 05....then May....then late June...then maybe July...Perhaps Nov 05. As far as EB or Babbages, or any other video game supplier goes, they give out fake release dates. Infact they just make them up so that they can get pre-orders for the game and make money. KOTOR 1 had about a dozen fake release dates from electronic stores before an actual one was released. In short nothing is certain until the "Sith Lords Gone Gold" announcement is made by Lucas Arts.

nightcleaver Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Well, there was a lot of problem with the engine and the full VO limitations. They completely started over at one point, you realize. I don't think it'll be nearly as serious with KotOR II. However, pushed release dates are pretty much a given, especially for well-anticipated titles. Â Â serverxserver: errr... maybe. Let's say they got the game finished and bug tested by december, instead of finished and bug tested by february. What's the difference? None. Just as bug-free, just as few bugs, just as much time spent killing bugs. The only difference is, more time to add stuff. Get my logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns1inger Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 I remember waiting for the first KOTOR to come out and it got pushed back SO many times..... Of course, they announced this game after it was well into development (which I like) and they already have the engine so who knows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malon Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I don't quite trust EB. I'm not going to get myself all excited about this until I see something on the front page or in the Announcements section about it, 'til then, February is the date to me. Â Just got to remember though, didn't they start right when KOTOR was released? February sounds most realistic to me, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feza Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 As much as I would love to get this game ASAP, I'd much rather they keep the latter release date and work on content/quests/bug fixes. I'd hate to have them try and rush it out in time for holiday shopping if it still needs work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshugger Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 In some of the interviews, the devs say that they're pushing to make the game-content finished by the end of this month, and bugtest it until february 2005, so a releasedate by december this year is not impossible. However, until Obsidian or Lucasarts prove otherwise, that releasedate is a pile of Bantha poo-doo.

guns1inger Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 we'll see what happens... It isn't out of the realm of possibility that they would try to bump up the schedule to try to meet the holiday shopping season. still, nothing has been confirmed as of yet.

You act as if content can simply be tacked on like so much wall ornamentation. The developer's have an idea, they have a complete idea, of what a story will be and they work to get it finished to the minutest detail. If they're finished ahead of schedule, then, well, the game is finished ahead of schedule. And I sincerely doubt that Obsidian will speed up the formulation of content simply to ensure an early release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 The game will be released when it is released. Specualtion about release dates are stupid and are simply a marketing ploy from outlets so idiotic dweebs will spend their money to pre-order the game. A game's release date shouldn't even be bothered with until it is two weeks before and not a moment sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 could a mod just tell us the currently planned release date. i sure do hope its dec 2004, thats my birthday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
