Peter: Why Lois Griffin, you naughty girl. Lois: Hehehe...that's me. Peter: You dirty hustler. Lois: Hehehehe... Peter: You filthy, stinky prostitute. Lois: Aha, ok I get it... Peter: You foul, venereal disease carrying, street walking whore. Lois: Alright, that's enough!

tripleRRR Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Because that is when they think it will be done at this time. Until then their release date will be accepted as holy writ, then they will delay it and everyone will moan and complain. Such is the way of game boards everywhere. TripleRRR Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.
Tayl Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 And who says that they have to stick to that releasedate? Not funny. :angry: But unfortunately totally true. <_<
kefka Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I have every confidence that the release date will be met. yeah, i'm an optimist.
RoGuE JeDi Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I have every confidence that the release date will be met. yeah, i'm an optimist. Here's hoping they don't delay it too much...
Meshugger Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I have every confidence that the release date will be met. yeah, i'm an optimist. I'm a bit of a newb to RPG-scene, but when Obsidian was known as Black Isle, did they meet their dead-lines?

tripleRRR Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 For the most part yes. TripleRRR Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.
nightcleaver Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 They'll meet the release date. Whether or not they push back the release date, though....
kefka Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 They'll meet the release date. Whether or not they push back the release date, though.... They could push the release date forward. See, I'm an optimist.
Spider Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 For the most part yes. TripleRRR Funny that. I don't remember a single game going out on time from BIS. The only games I know for sure about though are PS:T which was delayed some six months from the original estimation and IWD2 that was also delayed quite a bit (though that was to work in a new ruleset and stuff like that). So in my experience, timeliness was never a BIS-trait. Making good games, however, was.
Volourn Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 No they didn't. BIS games were delayed many times. Many, many times. See IWD2 which was DELAYED months as just ONE example. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Malfidae Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 I'm fairly certain even the original IWD was delayed. If Sith Lords is delayed it will probably be for a good reason. I rather have a better game later than a buggy game sooner.
RoGuE JeDi Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 So in my experience, timeliness was never a BIS-trait. Making good games, however, was. In that case, I won't have any complaints at all.
