Matrix can't do the 16th due to all the scheduling constraints around Xmas. If we don't make the 9th it will slip to the new year.
A shame but, rushing will only bite you on the backside later. Get it right and then get it out.
I go back to days of Fire Brigade so keep up the good work.

It would be nice to see perhaps a demo to wet our voracious apitite, BUT please do not delay the release for something this trivial... Looks like this may b a spring 10 game, no worries.. thanks for keeping us informed

I agree. Most people in here are sold anyway so skip the demo until later if that's a delaying factor, otherwise we might drown by drooling from anticipation. Besides my old Fire Brigade won't help me much because there isn't a computer old enough that can run it.
Now... back to COTA! [;)]
(BTW, Thanks for the progress report )

I agree too...everyone is already sold based on past track record, no need for demo out of the gate.
Heck, I would even pay for this game now in current state and help test out the final things....worst scenerio is everything would be fixed in the first patch:)

Our plan is still to put out a demo. Paul has done the preliminary work for generating the demo. We're just waiting on the game engine to be stabilised before we test that.

I think the demo is a good idea. I can play it while the game is downloading from the matrix [8D]

I'm actually really looking forward to the demo. Will play it PvP with a buddy and try to sell him on the game (and then we could PvP the entire game!)

LOL! If we can't get a public holiday for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, maybe we can lobby for this!

Good catch. We'll get that fixed.
Also it's not showing the new box cover art.
