Volourn Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 "Or NWN? I remember tracking it regularly for about 3 years, half of which was after the first projected release date." I don't believe NWN had an actual specifc release date. NWN2 has had two. not to mention the fact that NWN1 had to deal with the whole Interplay vs. Bioware War tm. NWN2, despite Atari's apparant financial state, has none. This is neither good or bad news outside of not getting the game sooner. There's examples of delays helping and not helping a game. So, meh. I'd be lying though that despite the fact I'm looking forward to NWN2 that I have some serious doubts about how Obsidian has managed NWN2's development. And, at this time, I will be surprised if Obsidian bothers doing anything with the DMC until the game is released. Even then, I won't hold my breath for one, anymore. This delay could be as simple as moving NWN2's release date away from G3's so the two games don't clash over each other. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

alanschu Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 what kept KOTOR2 from being more well-recieved were the glitches. No. More the unfinished plotholes and the rushing storyline... And I just KNEW that adding in animations one month before release was a case of bad late management and would be a sign for things to come (like this). But thank you to all people who tried to defend J.E. for the well-management he did and how he was able to put it all in and well (read: debugged) before the shipping Oct. 15 " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And I'd like to thank you for yet again chiming in on an industry you clearly know nothing about. Good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Neverwinter Nights 2 has the same releasedate as Final Fantasy XII?

That's actually NOT good news. There's a LOT of PS2 gamers out there (I'm one of them), and I'm certain given a choice of one or the other some are going to choose FFXII (I'm not getting FFXII when it comes out, I'll wait for a price drop, but I am getting NWN2 when it comes out sooooo...).

mkreku Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 They'll probably do it the Piranha Bytes' way: release a demo after the game has been released. In Piranha Bytes case I can understand it (small team, not enough time), but for Obsidian..? It just feels so illogical to release the demo after the game. Isn't a demo supposed to make you interested in a not-yet-released game? Also, a demo is a good indication if your computer can handle the game in question.

Tigranes Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 mkreku, it can do all those things anyway. The only difference is that instead of adding to the pre-release hype, it comes after the hype and lets them go and buy it straight away after playing the demo.
