Matrix Games Forums

Any news on the release date and price? Also is this going to be available in stores or just through the matrix site? Am getting anxious...

I see no reason why this won't be availabel in Feb.

I believe we are still planning on making this available in a boxed copy on game store shelves and via download, i will confirm this with David H.

I sure hope we get a lot of snow in Feb/Mar. Between this game, Guns of August, and my ongoing WiTP games, I'm gonna need some time away from work...

Roughly how big a download is GG's WaW going to be?

At the moment (without the opening video), the game is about 320 MB zipped. I don't what else Matrix will add to the download, but this gives you an idea.

Thanks for the info.

This is great news!....I personally have been chomping at the bit for this game, and it looks GREAT.....Everyone has their little ideas, but if it deploys as it sounds, Yeeeeeee-hawwwww!

I just hope you guys place it in stores...

Yes, they're off. According to Matrix, it is impossible to get EB to have correct dates. We're working as hard as we can to finish up this month or early next month. I'm not sure what the latest production timeframes are, so I can't say exactly when the game will hit the streets.

I have a friend who works for EB, and have followed a number of games release dates on their site... EB always has the wrong dates, so I am not worried about that Besides I would rather have a game that is as complete as possible out of the box, versus one needing instant updates and patches...

Things are going pretty well - from what I'm seen so far. A few major bugs that we are still trying to track down, but otherwise its been pretty rock solid since early Alpha.

I just pre-ordered GGWaW today at Electronics Boutique and they are still advertising 7 Feb as the release date. I'm very excited for this one!

Im not trying to throw gas on the fire, but I'd eat my dogs food it it hits on February 7th......No way......You all know how that goes[8D].....Besides, by the time it DOES ship, we'll all forget how long we had to wait[>:]...This one will be worth ANY wait![:D]

It will not be out in the stores by Feb 7. If everything goes well we could be done with the software by then, but you have to add production and shipping time. A more realistic date is late Feb/early March.

Stop adding another MONTH to it Joel! lol Feburary!! say Feburary definitely.

You wouldn't want me to go out and buy HOI 2 instead now would yah? hehe, not that I would, but, it's a nice threat.

Shwerpunkts AGW and GGWAW, and then SC2, what a great year for wargaming, and hopefully the prices will be right on all 3 of them.

Will you please make it available faster for direct download purchase here? PLEASE! Man, I can't wait for this game!

I agree that it would be nice if you had the option for direct download!

plaaaaeeesee[&o] [:D]

I would be surprised if Matrix did not offer a direct download option for the game. However, I know it is going into stores so I don't know for sure what Matrix plans.

Will this game hit stores in europe at the same time?
