Infiltrator_SF Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Couldn't find the appropriate topic on the subject, but I was thinking just how long a game of this scope might take to produce. In my opinion, it will be no less than two years, which is unfortunate since there's a few games that I would want more than a BG/PT/IWD spiritual successor. Truthfully I shouldn't think about this game because upon realizing the production hasn't even stared yet makes me want to forget I even know of its existence Edited October 24, 2012 by Infiltrator_SF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieo Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Eh. They're aiming for an early-mid 2014 release with an actual logistics plan, so that's right around where it should end up, even giving a couple more months to iron out bugs (I'd expect end of 2014 no later).

limith Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 i expect 1 delay, or barring that, some features to be cut and then released in a free patch. Estimating time is hard in the game industry, and the software industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santanzchild Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm figuring a Christmas release they estimated earlier but with the increased scope and just the normal bs that comes with the development cycle at least one few month delay should be expected sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shevek Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I am gonna bet exactly as long as they say. Their rep is riding on this and they want to turn this into a franchise.

Daulmakan Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'd guess two years, give or take. I don't think they had in mind the second city when they posted the april estimate date, A few months delay is perfectly fine by me, I'd rather wait a couple of months than having a rushed game. Even more so now that there is no developer's pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hormalakh Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Honestly, I wish they'd say it would be out Mid-summer 2014 instead of what they're saying now. Just give it a few more months of QA testing and get it perfect. My blog is where I'm keeping a record of all of my suggestions and bug mentions. http://hormalakh.blogspot.com/ UPDATED 9/26/2014 My DXdiag: http://hormalakh.blogspot.com/2014/08/beta-begins-v257.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judeobscure Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 24-30 months seems like a possibility. but i wouldnt have been surprised if they had just come out and said we're looking at 3 years. i know thats a hard number to tell people and i know they still have the xpacs to factor in. but 24 months to me seems like the earliest window. 18 months doesnt sound realistic to me.

Terror K Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Whenever it's ready. I'd rather see them take their time and put out something truly special than have the game sooner and feel lacking in some regards. If that means waiting until 2015 or beyond, then so be it. It's worth waiting another year or two if it's the difference between a game I'll play once or twice and a game I'll play over and over forever.

It is in their best interest to have this go off without a hitch. I'm sure that's the plan... * But if it comes to that, is it better to deliver the game on time then patch it up later (which will happen anyway), or take the extra 6 months to polish it up, deliver a better product but fail on the schedule. * actually I think that's not the plan anymore, I'd guess they're formulating the new plan right now, based on the extra content and resources compared to the original 1,1 million plan.

Karkarov Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I am willing to bet it will be ready around April 2014. No idea why I have such a specific guess, it is almost like they advertised that as the release date they were aiming for or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karranthain Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm guessing that they'll take 2 years. BG II was under development almost that long, and they had the engine and the assets from the previous game. Then again, it was a really huge game; I think the process of content creation is easier now too. What does everyone think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
