You are not getting left in the dark at all. There is no delay. Your friend is wrong. The game is still due for release in September. No specific release date has been set, so there is no date to announce.

What more is there to say?

 

[esoj]

so long as it comes out before the end of this year I will be happy. until a release date or delay is announced then all we have to go by is september which is the only date so far mentioned by hes or sidhe.

Thats all we were asking to hear. Nice, Mario. A reasonable answer.

Its hard to be more specific than that at this stage of production, guys. I'm happy with that, although we should remember, no-one can guarantee anything at this stage, and to be fair, they couldn't anyway.

These words "There is no delay" is something we've never heard.....coz there's no possibles in that wording.............

and again, ak and I send out the invites......and mario comes to the party! I hope people appreciate the wiles involved in such a process.

<<pat on my own back>>

<<pat on ak's 2>>

Thanks Mario.

as ak said, no more can be said now, except when you wish to confirm.

give us 24 hours if you can...cos mine arrives on the 17th of september according to whatever you've told the place I am getting it from (do not claim no accountability here - thanks

), and that's when I'll be going in to get it.

mate i have 5 gold stars, special well done stamp (with glitter), and a free movie pass

deadset i have never gone home more confident about September then ever

the party is pumping - we need a new keg!!!

I may have missed something here but.......................what have we learnt from this thread that we didn't know already??

Game is projected for September by Sidhe (as it always has been), but a set date still cannot be confirmed by Mario as things outside Sidhes direct control could still affect the release date.

Therefore there is still a reasonable chance of release after September 30th

Mario wishes to call that bet and entrust me with giving you the reward of his testicles if you are correct.

He is a kind and generous man.

Mario said himself

"There is no delay" - word for word

now i dont wanna get into a slanging match with TRF members and Mario

But if Mario thinks he can use that comment as "Thus far, doesnt mean in the timeframe before release there wont be a delay".........then quiet bluntly he deserves to be plastered by all of us in here that read "you friend is wrong", when my mate would be correct if any delay consequently happens

Because anyone could say that just to squandor other comments when at the time they could have had substance - Its a political tactic, and if they want to act like pollys, they can cop the voice of the people!

Even if there was a delay at this point, your mate still wouldn't be correct. You claimed he had inside knowledge about "issues" in development necessitating a delay in delivery. That is not the case.

If there is a delay, it will come from factors arising subsequent to his claims, which will not make his claims any more valid. He would only be correct in the sense that he "guessed" there would be a delay and one occured for reasons outside of what he thought he knew.

Its the same with release dates. Just about every possible release date under the sun has been covered by forum members and retailers. Its likely that one or more will have guessed right. Of course, their guesses are being made without any kind of real information, but by coincidence they may turn out to be correct. No doubt people will scream from the rooftops that "they were right", and they told people 6 months ago the game was going to ship on a specific date, but the fact is they will have just gotten lucky, because even today there is no specific release date set.

So, if you feel like slinging mud if a delay is announced, then feel free to do so (people are slinging enough mud as it is now anyway). But any claims of misleading people or politcal manipulation at this current point will be unsubstantiated because at this present time we are still on schedule for a September release. There is no valid conspiracy theory, we are just trying to do our job and deliver the best game we can.

Even if he is incorrect

I am telegraphing any news/rumours for fellow members,
As ANY information brought to the table would be alot better than the one sided confilct of interest views of the developers/publishers....u would be discouraged to advise of any negative issues with this game.

I even said it was a rumour, as the info passed to me was that of a rumour, from a source (NRL stats) more credible than myself (as they had game input), and i do NOT have any input into this game.

I said take it as you want, its a rumour.

Its 2 way street and this lollypop man ensures those that cross look both ways!!!

Holy one linerathon!

That was great.

anyway, Mario, I respect you for coming in and answering most questions.

Let's forget about the semantics of whether someone was right, is right, whatever...

.....I could care less.....

I just wanna know:

Is the game delayed? My store says it is out in about two weeks - consequently before the day of my brother's bday and a nice coinciding reason for getting game.

If it is delayed, can you let shops know, so I can have the option of cancelling order IF I chose too..?

Where did all the choice go?

Thanks.

 

[esoj]

los if its delayed it will be delayed everywhere most likely. the only thing that could be different is if it releases in aus before nz and the uk.
