Beta, Screens and 2007


(jjpron) #101

Maybe they decided to find a nice compromise with sprinting and shooting since everyone seems to have the subject dear to their hart.

Either that, or they’re developing an OS X/ BeOS port for us true fans.

No matter about the delay, the video cards are gonna be coming down in price.
Keep sending those screenshots guys!

I must chuckle at the people who claim the delay has lost them as a customer, to you I say “Bullshit” , you’ll buy it the moment it comes out, just because you know for a fact that the delay has made the game even better than what you hoped for originally, either that, or you’re just trolls who never played ET

There is a wise saying: “never ever care about any user that signs up only to say they aren’t going to buy/download your game/mod”.

It’s kinda like trying to have an argument with a pile of dogcrap. It’s going to stink and not get you anywhere.

As said in the other topic, if this ensures that ET:QW will further spanks the behind of ‘the other game that shouldn’t be mentioned’, then I’m all for it.

The eSport-scene is looking for a stable multiplayer-team-based-game to compete in due to the fiasko of BF2.

what’s with all these people showing up with complaints and insults? they contributed absolutely nothing to the game, neither bought it yet, so what’s their problem?


(figvam) #105

On the bright side, I hope the delay would allow SD to work on the linux version :wink: so it’d come out simultaneously with Windows release.


(Joe999) #106

my worst nightmare is that they’d make a dx10 version because in that case i’d need to buy vista which i absolutely want to avoid


(sTormseeka) #107

it`s a openGL game!


(MuffinMan) #108

not likely to happen - anyway the same for me as I will probably finally move to linux completely - there’s only one reason for me (and many others I know) to use windows: games compatibility - too many are released for directx / windows only

we need directx for linux or a law that there has to be opengl support in every game!


(Sauron|EFG) #109

How do you know that? It will be better than if it was released in an unfinished state, but there’s nothing saying that it will be better in 6 months than if it had been finished today.

A lot of people seem to have ridiculously high hopes, so I don’t think even SD can exceed that. :moo:

(Disclaimer: Anyone who thinks I’m bashing the game needs to read this post again.)


(Nail) #110

As you well know, I don’t have a clue, I was just stringing words together that fit the tone of my rant against those people saying delaying the game lost them as customers

:nag:

True, and it’s the case of almost all hyped games, (young) people tends to let their imagine spin wildly and expect something greater than what is possible to achive.

I just expecti it to be as good as W:ET…dunno if that is too much to ask for ?


(DG) #113

Quake (qtest1), Quake III Test (q3test), RTCW (mptest), Enemy Territory (ET_test)? :???:


(SCDS_reyalP) #114

don’t forget rtcw mptest2 :banana:


(Schizma) #115

LOL! Two completely different games, and neither of them are even out yet. So, how can you compare them? I’m actually dissapointed in Blizzard with the whole Starcraft Ghost thing. Give me Starcraft 2!!! Starcraft owned, and they make it a splintercell type game? We have already seen how cool FPS converts of RTS games do. (C&C Renegade = crap)


(Etnies) #116

Give me Diablo 3!!! <3


(nUllSkillZ) #117

On which time base (weekly / monthly) are the dev diaries?
A monthly diary would be great and also sufficient.

Starcraft Ghost was canceled (or rather Blizzard said that they will “indefinitely postpone production”) and will therefore probably never see the light of day.


(Wils) #120

I think the dev diaries are a one-off for each developer, rather than being updated on a regular basis. So one time it might be a Blizzard guy, the next someone from Valve, etc.
