Matrix Games Forums

While it isn't good news, it really isn't unexpected news.

What is unexpected is the method by which we become informed of this news.

I am speaking of the PIPELINE article in the September Issue of Computer Gaming World Magazine (#230). It says that Empire in Arms will be released in the third quarter of 2003.

What I don't understand is how "they" could tell a magazine but NOT tell us.

Isn't the 3rd quarter July-September?

Since "they" said SUMMER 2003, 3rd quarter fits perfectly (Summer ends the 22nd of September or summink).



Games are late 90% of the time though, so dont hold your breath.

Exactly.

And I would rather the game be delayed to address issues raised during beta test, resulting in a more complete and quality game when released.

How many times have we seen a great concept for a computer game ruined because development was rushed? Anybody want that?

Let the process run, and let Matrix do as they promise: provide us with a quality product. So let us provide input for Matrix, give feedback and express interest WITHOUT EXCESSIVE PRESSURE FOR A QUICK RELEASE .

Quality, Quality, Quality.

I want a GOOD game dammit!

Like the golden rule of contracting/programming goes: Good, Fast, Cheap, pick any two.

I'm suprised that not a single screenshot had been released showing the interface,sprites,etc considering how the long the game's been developed.

Yes, of course you are right soapyfrog. Sorry about that everyone.

Don't forget, Fast and Cheap are mutually exclusive.
