Tigranes Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 MoW's been done for a year or so, its just that Atari kept delaying it to develop their retarded DRM, and now... I don't know what the hell is up with it now.

Pop Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 From the sound of it, I don't think Atari is either. Sucks for the MoW guys. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Maybe, just maybe, it'll end up being the most polished game in history.

Wombat Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thank you for your quick replies, Tigranes and Pop. So, it seems to be true that the issue is more of distribution rather than the game itself, aside which, it appears to be difficult to talk about outside of the realm of the speculation...

Lariam Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 MoW's been ready for over a year. Finished. So, yes, the problems definitely have to do with (a) the distribution and (b) the delay. Why (b)? Because the new patches change things/break things. For instance, no point in waiting for MoW before 1.22 (which fixes some stuff that 1.21 broke) is released. As for (a), Atari still seems to be in the process of coming up with the online distribution site/thingy, and the Atari comments in the recent NWN podcast seem to me to suggest that there may be some issues with that, and that they are considering releasing MoW somehow, anyway. The last bit is just speculation on my part, though. We shouldn't expect the Ossians to have been polishing MoW all the time in the meanwhile, though. They've said they've been working on other things. An interesting question is: on what? The Atari folks say no further adventure packs have been proposed to them. Ossians say they've been working on something neat for NWN2 (among other things). Third (or whatever) xpac, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wombat Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thank you for the info, Lariam. So, Atari itself seems to be planning their own distribution system, then? I guess it is quite possible. Also, if I remember correctly, Atari released some titles including NWN2 on Direct2Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The question is, will NX3 even get a smaller budget than SoZ? Paying 30 Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I can't even find Storms of Zehir in the stores. I've looked in Best Buy, Target, and a couple Gamestops. I don't think this is because they are selling out either, I think it's just not being given much shelf space as a second expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny, because it seems to be doing ok where I live - in fact I might be picking up a copy tonight at the local Best By (it's $20 there), we'll see. "Geez.

Tigranes Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 From what I've seen, it was because it was competing for shelf space with FO3, Dead Space, Left for Dead, Legendary, Red Alert 3 and other supposedly "big" titles.

I don't think this is because they are selling out either, I think it's just not being given much shelf space as a second expansion. I live in the Bay Area as well, and have only seen a grand total of one copy in all the stores I've been to. Nothing at Fry's, Best Buy, Target, and all but one Game Stop. I was really surprised to not find it at Fry's. Their PC games selection is fantastic.
