Matrix Games Forums

Just wondering if I should be holding on to my money for a release this week.

I wouldn't expect anything before 1st week of December at the very earliest.

That said, Matrix seems to release stuff as soon as they get it - and don't seem to be overly concerned with seasonal sales trends (eg: sales spikes during X-mas).

I'm sure there's a neat strategy behind this.[;)]

Perhaps I wasn't clear - I meant to question whether or not Matrix sales are subject to traditional sales patterns - with the retail sales spike at X-Mas being a prime example.

I'm not sure they would be subject to such patterns, but only Matrix would know. A lot of traditional marketing practices are going out the window these days.

Hi everyone,

We are aiming for a release in the second half of November and we're hoping to release before Thanksgiving, but we are still making sure we are happy with the state of the release before deciding on the exact date.

Sounds good. Glad to hear it'll be out before xmas. End of November would be amazing, but I'm firmly in the 'wait til it's ready' camp. [:)]

That was my guess all along. Nice to see some sort of confirmation on it though.

To be honest, and, indeed, this is quite painful to admit but I am willing to wait till the end of December if I know that I'll get a polished expansions with all new features working properly as they should and with all the old ones nicely updated. Patches are to flow sooner or later... I'd rather get a patch in 2012 with some minor in-game spelling error fixes than major gameplay corrections.

The developers have been great with the updates and working patches for fixes...but a game that requires very few if any is always greatly appareciated. looking forward to Legends. My personal life is going to be a legend to remember once I get the update. No sleep either. Legends is the only game I'll be playing on my pc. The benefit of releasinig an expansion is that the core gameplay is already there working nicely. Shoudn't have too many problems there. [;)]

By the way, about problems... was right about the game.. about the sword of t... you know ...that game.. what a waste of cash... for now at least. [:@]

I'm willing to wait.  I just wanted to know if I could blow my game budget for the first half of the month on something else.

When can I preorder?

When can I preorder?

You can't you'll just have to check the forums or Matrix's facebook page.

Skyrim... Legends

What a month [X(]

@Woodman
Tell me about it. Skyrim, Legends and I haven't yet gotten really bored of Forza 4. Painting and tuning your own dream (race)cars can get surprisingly addictive.
Sure seems like spare free time won't be a problem for a while.

New battlefield just release last week too, but I had to forego that, Skyrim and Legends hold out, battlefield sacrificed [:D]

Has there been any word on price yet?  I'm not sure if I'm ready for another $25 expansion.  I enjoy RotS quite a lot, and I just waver a bit knowing I'd have 100 bucks tied up in one game.  Kinda silly, huh?

Delay further? The people is crazy.

Make sure not to get later than about Thanksgiving. The Old Republic is probably available around Dec 15th, and I need something to do until then.

I can live with the odd bug [:D]

Just to be clear on this, we do not want to release until we feel the release is stable, bug-free and that all the new gameplay is well-balanced. With that said, as previous releases have shown, there are limitations to how many bugs and balance issues you can find in the internal beta test with a complex game, so there will no doubt be some fixes and tweaks required, but we always make a good faith effort to give you a completely finished and polished game.

Ha! That was funny.

A release any time between T-Day and Christmas is fine for me. For some reason, sci-fi games always feel best during that time of the year. Must be all the Christmas tree lights. [:D]
