taks Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 apparently NWN2 is delayed till late october. the story lead at ve3d says "because of 50-60 hours of gameplay..." (paraphrased). i cannot link to the actual story due to IT nazism, but you all know how to get there... taks comrade taks... just because.
LostStraw Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) Link to the story: ve3d.ign.com So if it is delayed, does this mean the DM will ship with the game? edit: Link to the thread on the nwn2 boards> nwn2forums.bioware.com Edited July 18, 2006 by LostStraw
taks Posted July 18, 2006 Author Posted July 18, 2006 dunno. i'm curious about the 50-60 hour thing since there have been major discussions in here regarding the evolution of that number. taks comrade taks... just because.
GhostofAnakin Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I'm not bothered. My current comp can't run it anyway, and it'll be a good few months until I buy my new one.

Darque Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 No biggie, what's a few months? More time to make it as close to perfect as possible.
Enoch Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I'm not bothered. My current comp can't run it anyway, and it'll be a good few months until I buy my new one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What did they say the minimum specs would be again? I recall thinking that my processor wasn't going to be up to snuff, but that I might be able to run it anyway because I had extra RAM and vid card muscle.
GhostofAnakin Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I'm pretty sure they said similar, but slightly higher, than NWN1. Mine ran NWN1, but I was just meeting the specs. If the graphics are as improved as screenshots suggest, I doubt I'll be able to meet the NWN2 specs.

213374U Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 What do you mean, NWN2? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
SteveThaiBinh Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Good. I should get NWN2 about the same time as I get a new computer with a Conroe processor, then. That works out OK. I'm sure this game is worth an extra month's wait. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Llyranor Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Atari has sent out an email, announcing that Neverwinter Nights 2 has been delayed. Originally the game was scheduled for a September release, but the game will now come out late October. According to the company, the extra time will be spent on further fine tuning and polishing. Given that Atari needs cash fast, it's surprising that they'd allow the game to be delayed. It's fine for me. The more polished, the better. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Dark_Raven Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 No biggie, what's a few months? More time to make it as close to perfect as possible. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is right. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Bokishi Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 All the good games are getting delayed. No Crysis till 2007 also. Current 3DMark

Dark_Raven Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 We all know what happens when they rush a game. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Moose Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I think the only requirement in the strictest sense of the word is a DirectX 8 card. If you've got a 6800GT or a Radeon x800XT-PE you should just about manage. ATIs DirectX 8 line up started way back with the 9500. I believe nVidias line up started as far back as series 5. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
Judge Hades Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 Grrrr... Argh... What am I suppose to do til October now?!?!?! Oh well, a stable game is better than an unstable game.
Gromnir Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 for those of you who have spoken ill of atari as the Villain in so many past game failure tales, you should possibly reconsider. atari is desperate and bleeding and they need money... now. nevertheless, they has given obsidian more time... twice. am not sure who convinced the atari folks to give obsidian another extension, but we is thankful. fergie's "no more than 20 hours" nightmare has been at least partialy banished and nathan, for one, has been saved from almost guranteed ridicule and scorn. congrats to atari for making the hard choice... and whoever played the role o' obsidian's Henry Kissinger in this little drama probably deserves some creit too... even if that is fergie himself. HA! Good Fun!

Darque Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 I gotta agree, this is a fantastic thing Atari has done.
Judge Hades Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Too bad they couldn't have done this for ToEE or MOO3. In any case kudos for Atari for finally waking up.
Dark_Raven Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Atari doesn't want another game like K2 with its cut, unfinished content and all of the complaints that go along with it. They very smart cookie indeed. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Judge Hades Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 They just think that a finished game will make them more money in the long run than an unfinished game.
alanschu Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Grrrr... Argh... What am I suppose to do til October now?!?!?! Oh well, a stable game is better than an unstable game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The same thing you were planning on doing until September naturally.

In any case kudos for Atari for finally waking up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure more time would have saved those games, perhaps that's why they haven't done the same. I hope Atari is going to make good cash with NWN2 , good deeds should be rewarded... Edited July 19, 2006 by Lyric Suite
