Matrix Games Forums

I know you people are busy working on this but is anybody paying attention to this. no answer to last post (What do we Get. So I'll try again, maybe this will get a response[X(]??????

It does seem rather depressing doesn't it? I've given up asking, personally.

And got more involved with the HPS Campaign games instead. I still hate their graphics, but various mods have pretty much fixed that.

I'll still buy the whole BG set if it ever gets released though. I have that kind of loyalty to the project, but we had better see some real improvements after all this waiting... and not just a repackaging of the originals with the 32 bit patches incorporated!

Note: I would have bought the entire series just to get a clean install disk with all updates... nothing added... nothing improved... just basic BattleGround with the 32 bit upgrades. If that is all we get after this incredibly long delay, I will definitely be disappointed. [:(]

If that's it then they could have done it in a week as a download.

How long have we been waiting?  Over 2 + years now?
 
Something isn't right in Matrix land............................

Actualy I don't think its been a whole year yet. Look back through the old news releases.

Your right Lance.
It seems longer than a year for some reason though?

It seems longer than a year for some reason though?

Just anticipation

I believe it was October 2005 when they acquired the rights. Starting to have doubts it will ever see the light of day.

I understand for the Campaign Series that they are working on this on their own time, which means they are putting a lot more into it then they will probally ever get back, I just asked a question got no response, I was hopping to get someones attention.

The lack of response or any mentions of updates speaks volumes. I predict this project is dead in the water. 

Forge of Freedom has to run it's course and then they will get serious about it.
 

I'm wondering why we are still watching this forum ...I'm really tired to wait for news which never arrive ...it seems that nobody here takes care of us...

Well I love the old Bg games. I wouldn't upgrade to Vista simply because I still play them. A lot. John Tiller is a God[&o] and many hours of my life are devoted to Him. Mostly the Napoleonics. I own every title however. All I ask of any rerelease is that they come with the Tiller Upgrade workable with Vista. I feel however this is unlikely as there may be legal issues involved with that. I certainly wouldn't play without the Upgrades unless the engine has suitable modifications.

It was the stagnation of Bg games that encouraged me to try out HPS and, graphics issue aside, the engine is in many ways much improved.

The problem is that any improvements in the Bg engine are likely those that are already present in HPS games so again there are legal issues here. Any AI script is never going to be as challenging as playing another person by email games so personally I'd not waste time on that.

Isn't it about time that Matrix at least gave an update on this game ? Or do they not bother reading the forums ?[:@]

I agree. It is frustrating for me to look at the other games Matrix will be releasing and seeing that questions that people post are being answered, if not promptly, then fairly regularly. If this project has been put on the back-burner then just tell us that. I would disappointed but would understand a message to the effect "hey guys sorry, but due to other commitments yada yada...don't expect this product anytime soon." I know part of my frustration comes from the fact I am looking forward to this product so bad. But after following the posts over this game so long, I am sorely disappointed that we seem to have been orphaned.

Indeed it would be nice for somebody to answer. I hate feeling ignored. A simple "sorry for the delay, some months away yet" would suffice.

Hello Matrix !!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there anyone there ?[>:]

[:-]

Gentleman (Mr. Heath, et al.):

As a loooong-time customer (just check my SSN's you'll see), I must object to the consternation you're now causing Mr. Moss (I never realized until just now how Dickensian that is).

GIVE HIM THE UPDATE HE CRAVES.

Or my French soldiers will suffer for it.

That is all,

Jim

Indeed. Please sir, can we have some more updates?

Perhaps if we all keep leaving a regular message someone from Matrix might (just might) deign to have a look at what all the activity is about on this forum.
Not holding my breath though ! [&:]
