Sensuki Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) I'll update this thread in a bit, but after playing the beta today I have to say I will be VERY surprised if this is actually released in Winter 2014. With the amount of combat rebalancing and bug fixing required I think a Q1 2015 release plus a Steam Early access once the backer beta is more stable is the way to go. We'll see. It depends how fast they can roll out changes. Edited August 19, 2014 by Sensuki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends how fast they can roll out changes. I called it a few months ago in that other thread, but apparently someone thought my prediction was "nonsense." I still don't think it coming out this year, but hopefully I'm wrong because I don't want to see this game go the early access route.

Corto81 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 March 18th, 2015. I'll be very surprised if it's released before Q2 2015. They have a LOT of work to do, from implementing icons to combat balance to possibly re-designing certain game mechanics (stamina/health feels awful, pretty sure they'll change that at some point).

Raamo Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Jan 9th. Middle of the week is better - but since it's not an MMO maybe less critical. So I suspect Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndiraLightfoot Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I see a trend coming - later and later dates - after people have seen the beta and read the feedback and heated discussion, they realize that PoE may get delayed into next year, with spring and summer beaconing. Interesting, interesting... Who will win? Right now, Gromnir has a pretty cool date. 2 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norida Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I can see the game getting an early access before December (would be wise in order to get money to pursue further the developpement since 4 Millions isn't a lot) but considering the current state of the beta will all the bugs to fix na no way for it to be ready until 2015.

Freshock Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Seems like we will get a release date within the next two weeks, and it's confirmed that it will be this year: Great interview, recommend watching that. 1 My YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piercehead Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Not being picky (well, maybe a bit), but which region are you basing the release date on (EU/US...or just the first). I know it'd be nice to hope for a universal release but well, these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterPrudent Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Haven't heard anything back from the mods/obs about the prize pool. What do you guys want to do about this? I can offer one digital download of the game when the game releases. I'm not sure how many of the voters would be super keen on an extra PoE download seeing as most (if not all) of us are digital backers. I'm happy to put a few dollars towards a sub $50 gog or steam game of the winner's choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money we collect here could go towards Obsidian's next Kickstarter game. The winner gets the money to back that project. Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osvir Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) February 29th 2016... because that's my next birthday xDJokes aside, Feargus is pretty assured the game will release this year, it seems to me that they don't want to release at the same time as Dragon Age (which I think is wise). Around Christmas, December 20-25, I think. I've said in other threads that I wouldn't mind an Early Access program into early 2015 though.There are several reasons why an Early Access program would be great:1) The game gets "released" several times (First Early Access "New Early Access on Steam!", second Full Release "New Release on Steam!"). Releases usually gets front page, regardless if Early Access or Full releases.2) It raises awareness, and Pillars of Eternity may become the best/most stable Early Access title ever (Thanks to us, the first playtester).3) Later, when the Early Access is finished, the game releases yet again.4) Obsidian gets tons of more revenue and tons of more marketing in store (Steam).Key points:More revenue. More attention. Higher probability to break even. Larian Studios used 6 months of Early Access for Divinity: Original Sin. And that worked very well for them (I think they were on "Best Buy" for 3-4 weeks afterwards, they broke even). Though, it would be most golden if an Early Access was quicker, 3-4 months. Hmm... could Obsidian talk to Steam and ask them if they can release a "full release" disguised as an Early Access, and then use the revenue for upcoming projects and for expansions?*I don't view "Backer Beta" as Early Access. Early Access is public beta. Backer Beta says "Public Beta" but it is more or less a "Closed Beta".* What I talk about is a sort of... Patch Access, or Expansion Access. Obsidian developing more content to Pillars of Eternity over the course of 3-4 months and then releasing "Full Game" in early 2015?Early Access = Base gameFull Release = Base game+Expansions Edited August 29, 2014 by Osvir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
