What the subject says....

 

No release date, this game might take several years to make, perhaps two I'd say. Information? Read the DA Forum Highlights, full of info

 

When I first heard about this game I heard it was going to be released in 2005, than 2006, and now 2007. My guess it will be a game talked about but never seen. Similar to BG3.

 

Bioware's never talked about a 2005 or 2006 release. They've probably not said anything about a 2007 release, either.

 

Don't believe anything you don't hear from a dev and devs insist they can't say much, if anything. They're probably going to tell people when they know, from what I've gathered.

I can tell you 2006 is impossible and 2007 unlikely, also from what I've gathered. I'd estimate it at 2008, early to mid and closer to mid than to early, but this is more of a guess, anyway. Wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't made it by 2009. I think it's good if they take time. I hate it when games get rushed.

 

I like Bioware, but still I think that they anounced this one to soon. I don't know, it gives me a bad taste in my mouth just reading about it. Still I hope it will come.

 

^ Yeah, I prefer the surprised. Still a polished game is better than a rush game. Besides, its their proprietary game, I'm sure they need to work out a lot of things first hand..backgrounds, history and all.

 

q1 2008 is expected.

 

I was much more excited about this game before I learned that Bioware was being purchased by EA.

I hope it doesn't become just another nameless, faceless game in EA's endless pile of games. Really, this game is just about my last hope for a worthwhile CRPG.

No chance of Q1 '08 I'm afraid, last info from BioWare was unlikely for 2008 release. If it was imminent the previews would be going mad by now

 

I have had it whit Bioware. I really thougth I read it on the bioware boards. Just let them choose between console or pc. developing cycles this long,... it is just,...

Well how to kill the gamesmarket for the pc.

If the cycle is to long, the engine will be outdated.

 

Honestly, I don't mind the delay so much, as long as it's because they are really taking their time to build an immersive and rich gaming environment. My *hope* is that this is the beginning of a really awesome new gaming series, to replace what I would have previously looked to the D&D CRPG genre for.

But again, I am worried that with EA at the helm, they'll write this off prematurely if it isn't an instant cash cow, and that cutting cornerns will be a much more regular part of production. I'm pretty disgusted with where the PC gaming industry has sunk, if it's not readily apparent.

Baldur's Gate FTW!

 

The plans for the game were always extremely ambitious, particuarly with what sounds like it will be a very complex battle system. We knew it was going to take a long time to make.

 

It will be a good game, absolutly, and not vaporware, but I think that expectations are so high it will fall short and be only as good as say NWN2. (Or as bad) It will not be of the greatness like BG2. I think they overreached. And after that I expect that singleplay rpg games for the pc are gone from Bioware for good.
