my god Elven 6 are you sleeping with someone from Midway, and for YOUR info i do know how buisness works. Buisnesses think about their bottom line and what the price of their stock is. Do you think anyone cares about who they hurt in the process when somehting like this happens. ME!!!!!!! im speaking for every person who got their feelings hurt, who got excited about this game and might not ever get to play it, which was shoved in their face and teased and then taken away. Who is affraid to stand up and say anything because some loyalist fanboy or what ever the hell your position is will try to crucify them online. I dont know what your freakin problem is, i dont care about the damn companies stock, i care about people like my who play and buy, cause its obvious noone else does, and all you care about is the freakin company.


You think the bottom line and price of stock will go anywhere if they take your advice and announce a game a month before release? Anticipation, hype, etc will all work in the favor of a game. Consumers are not getting hurt in the process, they will get hurt if a crappy game is released. From the impressions I read, the demo builds they had up last year left a mediocre taste in peoples mouths, there simply wasn't enough to do in the game. Let them delay it a year and put more stuff into it.


so to make sure i understand your logic Elven....you think its grand to tease a child with a sucker and then RIP!!!!!! it away and point and laugh in their face. Yea i can see why you think im the idiot and acutally dont wanna torture my customers like a sadistic nazi.


Yes because build hype for a game is always a good thing since it helps get the word out. Do you think Halo sold millions of copies by simply being a launch title no one heard about? No, it was a awesome game that was promoted heavily before launch by Microsoft, it had a lot riding on it from gamers on all consoles (since previously the FPS never "worked" on a console. Who said anything about the game being "RIP"?

I don't see what the need was to called me a member of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter party, and then called me sadistic on top of that....

Well the reason they showed the game at last years E3 was because they did intend to release it that year so it follows. However this game is suffering (no pun intended) from feature/design creep and in this economic climate will be lucky to get published, let alone turn a profit from what I've seen. But who knows, maybe they have stumbled upon a game design that is so imaginative & cool it will rival GTAIV?! I seriously hope it is but nothing I know/have seen leads me to believe that yet. Its in Warners hands now..

Swimfan: Surreal are still working on the game and intend to ship it (is what I heard last week). Whether this happens or not remains to be seen.

Can you imagine working on a project for 5 - 10 years to have someone pull the pin on it in the final hour ? I am sure there will be more unhappy faces at Surreal than here.

yeah, I understand your pain. I am sure when they did show TIV at E3 2008 they either (they would've been working on it pre-2008)

1. Planned on a 2009 release (and the game was in alpha).
2. Saw the writing on the board and decided to show the game early to secure a publisher.

Now while the game was in alpha a couple of key people left so any fixes found during alpha couldn't be fixed. Then Redstone finally completed what he was working on for a couple of years and the siphoning as much as he could and left the carcuss for could old Thomo to render down into some other stuff (http://www.bornfreeusa.org/articles.php?p=378&more=1) and then sell that off to WB to throw out the parts they don't need (the process now) http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/midway-newcastle-san-diego-face-closure-by-end-of-june.

Now Wikipedia and IMBD are still slating this for Nov - Dec. Which I might just do a little sniffing to see if that is still possible.
