I'm not saying it's official, but EBgames is usually pretty accurate.

No matter how we look at it, it's still a long way to go. And I have nothing to play now that Fallout 3 is out of my system.

[Calax]

hate to break it to you but as an employee of gamestop inc I must tell you that 3/3 generally means that the game is currently in Gamestops hopes and dreams as a Q1 release. I think I had Starcraft II in my system for March 3 2008 in my system because that was as far out as the system went at the time that they tossed it in there.

[H]

Somebody forgot to put Obsidian's logo on the box.

[pcrk2]

It wasn't necessary... after all Sega developed the game and OE just assisted to make sure that they're doing no mistakes. No need to be mentioned on the box.

Now seriously, it's just a preliminary box, I'm sure this isn't going to be the final look.

AP delayed to June?

Edited December 6, 2008 by funcroc

[Morgoth]

Games always get postponed, so I wouldn't wonder if AP needs another 3-4 months for completion.

[pcrk2]

OE can you confirm/deny it?

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Aw man, this game can't come out fast enough.

[SirPetrakus]

Aw man, this game can't come out fast enough.

Indeed.

[Morgoth]

The delay is probably better, otherwise it would have direct competition with Dragon Age, which I think also comes out around March.

[Pidesco]

Except DA will probably get delayed as well.

[Cl_Flushentityhero]

I think Bioware will land closer to the scheduled release. Either that, or they'll just spout something about how "you can't rush the spiritual successor to BG2" and delay it until 2050 for worldwide release . . . on Mars.

[Pidesco]

Just in time to find those Prothean ruins.

[Pop]

Better they extend it now than in February.

hey man, what is your avatar from? it's funny. and i agree. delay is almost inevitable nowadays.

[Cycloneman]

OE can you confirm/deny it?

The AP website still has March 2009 on it, so I figure that's the correct date.

[Pop]

No idea. I like to think it dissuades people from posting ridiculous things.

don't trust these websites. They barely get updated. I think SEGA/Obs came to conclusion that the game needs an extra few months, so they also informed the retailers. But of course this could be also baseless speculation.

[Pop]

As annoyed as I might be by a delay, 3 months is a lot of time. The difference between an AP released in March and an AP released in June could be measured not just in polish but also in actual content delivered.

[Wrath of Dagon]

Sounds like it's delayed, and if it is, there's no guaranty it'll come out in June either. Oh, well, so long as it doesn't become vaporware.

OE makes the game, and that box is 99% fake, made by some random Gamestop employee.

 

I wouldn't trust any dates this early in the cycle.

[Cl_Flushentityhero]

Dates, maybe not, but I would trust the delay to summer. AP just hit Alpha (har har) recently, so my guess would be that there's significant work before it's ready for consumption. They've also seen the widespread response to the clips in the first dev diary (on GS and GT), suggesting that pulling a fast one is not an option with how detail-oriented many gamers are.

 

Edit: though it kind of has me wondering, how come Fallout 3 is a GOTY year contender with practically nonexistent facial animation while AP is in the fryer because early footage looked a bit stiff?

I was just ironic when I said Sega is developing AP rofl

[DAWUSS]

My money is on "some time before the release of the TSLRP"
