Looks like it won't be 6/15

Fans of the old Panzer General series rejoice for the release of Panzer Corps. Following in the footsteps of the popular SSI masterpiece and sharing with the General series the same level of engagement and strategic depth, Panzer Corps will keep an unmistakable "PG feeling" whilst improving and refining the gameplay and balance. Panzer Corps will feature 26 scenarios on 21 unique maps, covering most major battles of the European Theatre of World War II and including a few hypothetical 'what if' scenarios based on your actions. Now expanded with a full-war mega-campaign and the Afrika Corps and Allied Corps releases!

Looks like it won't be 6/15

Post by bretg80 »

No gold release date announced yet, so I'm speculating that it will be mid to late July at the earliest. That is actually good news for me, since I will be able to do more outdoor activities before this game consumes all my waking time. [:)]

At least we know they are almost finished though and not just "In Development".

Yes, I'm sad too. But, they seem to be very close so I will not cry yet!

Oh, it is worth the wait. I have been beta testing the game for a while and it has pulled me away from WITE. Several gaming sessions have kept me up all night, just like PG in the 90's.

Sorry guys - still polishing at the moment. On the bright side the beta feedback is amazing so we think you'll like what you see!

"...and it has pulled me away from WITE..."
 
LOL, now I wouldn't mention that in the WitE forum [:)]
 
Then again, maybe you should hehe. Might give them a break from facing another Russian carpet defense. [:D]

Yeah, I love WitE but it can become a grind-just like the real war.

Panzer Corps is pretty darned polished and huge fun.

Are the testers using netbooks to run the beta currently?

I hope my Acer can with it's meager specs:

Intel Atom N450
1GB Ram

This is my on the go machine would be great to play it at work and on trips. I hope the resolution scales to the game OK...right now PGF isn't exactly right, but it works.

Yeah, looks like 7/7, but I'm not holding my breath. Glad to hear the game is looking good. It'll be ready by the end of summer more than likely, which is when I'll be ready :-)

"Panzer Corp Invades stores in early 2011" . Who the heck made that quote? I didnt realize that July was considered "early 2011.

Well they aren't posting anything to Facebook or replying today on here so perhaps they are busy slaving away to get the game ready for you[8D]
Video games these days are always delayed and pushed back so when you have it available to buy you know it's released.

Hi guys, the main reason we postpone a game is:

We are not happy enough with the game, or decide to add more cool features, or to make sure the game is rock solid and contains as few bugs as possible, or to add more polish, or listen to feedback and do some changes or add new ideas based on Beta testing!

So upon release it is the best game we can deliver at that point in time. The game is now in publishing mode and will soon be upon you. We are now confident you will enjoy it and get some quality for you hard earned money.

You had to wait maybe 10 weeks longer than initially planned and we understand this is unfortunate and for some annoying, therefore our apologies, but it was for the good of the game and that is what counts in the end!


Cheers,

Tim

I have not tried the game on anything but my desktop gaming rig. I will install it on my Acer netbook later today or tomorrow and post the results.

Much appreciated Parusski looking forward to the results. I hope the screen sizes up OK I know with these netbooks things will be off sometimes without a fix available.

I like it when games are delayed. I so do hate unpolished binaries.
