i thought that the french ubisoft website had the release date down at december.

It does, it has been changed recently.

Amazon france changed its release date today from the 8th to the 15th of December. I'm no logistic expert, but I presume someone at Ubisoft told them to do so, they're not wild guessing such a precise date.

In the other hand, one game published by ubisoft (Tales of eternia/PSP) was planned to mid-november and ubisoft decided to push it back to Q1 2006. The release dates on websites like amazon instantly changed to january 2006.

It means that when ubi decides to push back a ***le for sure, the information passes on, the ubi website is updated as well as online resellers'.

So my guess is that Ubi WANTS to release the game in december, but something (HIP/VUG ?) prevents them to do so. I think they still believe in a december release date, otherwise they'd have made things clear, like for Tales of Eternia.

Or maybe I'm just way too much hopeful

here's a reply from dvdcrave.com.au

Hi,

At this time this is the advertised date on the distributors web site. Of
course until stock actually arrives everything is subject to change but we
do not anticipate any delays for this ***le.

The decision on a release date will be made entirely by Ubisoft. That's a definite. Hip have licensed it onto them and have no say any longer - don't waste your cash calling Hip. VUG are our parent company and have less say than I do ... which is diddly anyway. VUG just want us to ship this damn thing and get it out of the way - they have a very cool project for us to work on.

 

[esoj]

well that is a bit sad. everyone is in the dark then execpt for ubisoft as to when the game is released. Yeah I guess VUG would be getting bit impatient has they have a project waiting for you guys to do. Hopefully its another sports game

one can only hope and hope that ubisoft release rc2006 soon

 

[kaftka]

Is it a sequel to Cold Winter?

I only played for about 10 seconds but that game seemed pretty cool.







Get it!? COOL?? Hahaha....

Yeah, I meant "something related to VUG buying HIP".

Like, reprinting the manuals to include VUG support phone numbers, repackaging the game, or some more obscure legal stuff.

Anyway, you sure know more than I do

Another french reseller changed its release date to the 15th btw.

 

[Nicko]

Most of the Australian Game sites r now saying 21st of March 2006.....which is disappointing!

 

[esoj]

gameplanet nz still have mid december release and they are normally pretty good with dates. ubisoft are the only ones that know and at this stage they aren't letting anything out of the bag release date or other media

 

[BigTen]

This game has been, in my opinion, been delayed big-time. I do not expect to see it anytime this year. If EA Games get their way it will be released after Rugby 2006 or buried never to be seen again.

Maybe we need to fund someone to engage in a bit of industrial espionage and capture a copy of this game.

NB: bigTen in no way condones any direct or indirect act or acts of industrial espionage, theft, capture, relocation, software terrorism, sedition, copyright infringement or anything else that may get bigTen or anyone else in trouble with ASIO, or any other secret police or governmental organisation, or private corporation that has the powers to lock you up somwhere (including a South Australian secret desert prison or institution) and withholding any rights to legal representation or due process or fair and legal trial.

 

[kaftka]

Give me 50 bucks, a balaclava, and a rubber band, and I'll have it on your doorstep by Saturday.

 

[187]

hell yea this is real disappointing that the game is getting delayed possibly until february!
i'll still definately get it tho..

Initial release date was September! You worked that out all on your own? Good boy.

 

[Saint N Sinner]

It better be out bloody soon. I am getting fed-up and frustrated slightly.

If we had a release date set in stone then things would be alot better but, as long as it get released and in the near future.

Im just hoping they are'nt having second thoughts about the game.
