Delay

(needforWeed) #1

So the game is Delayed. This mean I have to play Quake Wars dead Pro MOD for another year:confused:

Can we have a beta on Spring 2010?

They should release the unfinished game as fast as possible!

I kinda knew it would be delayed. I was really hoping it’d be finished early 2010. It reminds me of when Quake Wars and Battlefield 2142 were going to come out at the same time and then Quake Wars was delayed. I guess Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is coming out when Brink was going to come out this time around. I hope fall of 2010 turns out to be a good release window for Splash Damage.

At least they’ll be one year of COD8…

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Battlefield 3 releases in fall 2010.

i’m ok with delays just don’t do what Ubisoft did and Delay the PC version 5months when the Console version is already out…

Take you time but be careful if you delay it too long then you fall into the firering line of games comming out in late 2010, wouldn’t be suprised if they started marketting the new COD or MW game any time soon.

Just don’t set a release date. Keep your time estimate at ‘fall 2010’. This means that you have a couple of months leeway where you can decide a firm release date.

You can hear it in the street, see it in the dragging feet,
The word is getting out about control,
Spies they’ve come and gone, the story travels on,
The only quiet place is inside your soul.

From tree to tree, from you to me,
Traveling twice as fast as on any freeway,
Every single dream, wrapped up in the scheme,
They all get carried on the delay.

Delay, things are brewing,
Delay, something’s doing,
Delay, there’s a revolution,
Delay, delay, hand me down a solution, yeah.
Pass it on, come on, a delay.

I was also expecting a delay. But hearing the game is being delayed after just getting hyped up from seeing gameplay footage hurts. :frowning:

(tokamak) #11

I think they’re throwing out all the new footage to soften the blow.

(Diablo85) #12

They should have announced the delay before the footage was released. I saw the delay after I saw the gameplaymovie and it said Brink coming fall 2010. I thought wtf?!?, wasn’t Brink coming spring 2010? Because of that it had the opposite effect. :eek: But I guess you are right that it does act as a softening of the blow. :wink:

(RoryGreen) #13

It only really matters to us, most people haven’t heard of this game yet so it isn’t that much of a problem.

(tokamak) #14

We’re also the only ones that know this is old footage.

(maggol) #15

I think the delay is an ok for me, i want a finished game not unfinished one. Which mean less bug and better gameplay

(RoryGreen) #16

That doesn’t really matter though does it? This game still has a year in development to go, that is clearly stated and anyone can work that out. If an ignorant person wants to believe that this footage is final then that is their own problem, if they want o go around complaining then that is up to them. When we all have this game when it is released and they are reading positive reviews (hopefully) then they will get the game anyway so it doesn’t really matter.

(tokamak) #17

It does if you want to sell the game to that person.

(RoryGreen) #18

Not really, if they are the sort of person willing to look up newly released gameplay of a game which is still fairly unknown, then they are likely to look up reviews and generally look at gaming sites. If there are Brink previews and reviews on that site then they will click it, they will see how good the game is and if they have any sense, they will buy it.

(Floris) #19

That would be great, but I think we learned from ET:QW that great reviews don’t get you that far. Only hype seems to accomplish that.

Sadly, I am already losing faith in this release, as well as the devs. Been burned too many times recently by games. They are delaying the release of a game that only plays 8v8? I mean honestly, this is unacceptable. Game should already be in closed, if not open beta by now. Its not like the maps could be THAT huge, only 8v8. Or there could be THAT many glitches or issues with the maps, being only 8v8. I mean really, this is ridiculous.

I have already pre-ordered BC2, and sadly it seems that is where my support is going to go. Out of the box, modern warfare play with 32 slots and ranked servers, on day one. When you have a PS3 FPS game being developed, that will host 256 players online at once, and then you have a PC game being developed that will host up to 16 at once, its no wonder consolers make fun of PC gamers. Hell with devs like this, they have a right to.

Splash Damage, PAY ATTENTION! Wake up! Make a real damn game! Why can a miserable console that doesnt have near the horsepower my computer, or dedicated box has, have a game that will blow away anything you seem to be able to produce?! 16 players?! Are you kidding me? A delay??? ARE YOU FOR REAL?

sigh probably just beating a dead horse with this. PC game development is just dead in the water.

Wolfenstein 2009 - sucks/dead
FEAR 2 - sucks/dead
Borderlands - 4 player coop only, so that sucks
ST DAC - sucks/dead
Rogue Warrior - OMG sucks
MW2 - dont even get me started - SUCKS
ETQW - huge let down
Serious Sam HD - another let down
OF Dragon Rising - SUCKS!!!/dead

I could go on, but you get the idea. Time for a dev somewhere to step up to the plate. PLEASE?!
