shouldnt sh-5 have gone gold by now?

[oscar19681]

I dont understand. I was under the impression games go gold 2 to 3 weeks before release. How come it still aint gone gold 1 week before release?

[Sailor Steve]

Maybe it has, and they just haven't announced it.

Other than that I don't know.

[TDK1044]

The offline version must be slowing things down.
:rotfl2:

[kylania]

Maybe they are going entirely digital so they can save money on manufacturing while still charging $50 to rent their game till they turn off the DRM servers. :)

[Seafireliv]

Perhaps they`re making panic last minute changes and removing the 24\7 DRM- We can only hope.

[kylania]

Supposedly it's coming out in one week, so yeah you'd think they'd have announced it by now. There's essentially only 3 business days left before they'd need to ship to make the March 2nd date.

[scrapser]

I don't know about it going gold. I do know it has gone to h*ll.

[Iron Budokan]

Time does seem to be getting short in regards to this. To hear the suits at Ubi talk they obviously "believe" in this game so it makes you wonder why it hasn't gone gold yet. What, exactly, is the hold up? Second thoughts, maybe?

There are really not many business days left, as has been pointed out, which becomes something more than a problem for retailers. More typical Ubi hamhandedness....or last minutes signs of corporate panic setting in?

Or is this the smoldering whiff of Cancellation?

To be honest, I think it's just typical Ubi dropping the public relations ball once again. Given their proven track record at fumbling basic corporate messages and auguring business decisions into the ground from 40,000 feet up, this would be no great surprise.

Either way, I still have my popcorn ready for release day. :O:

[SteamWake]

Perhaps there just running behind schedule?

[Iron Budokan]

Probably right. That would be true to form.

:O:

You bet. I've got lots. :O:

But somebody's gonna have to bring the beer....

I guess this can be contributed to the fact that you must lay of sh-5 for a while.:haha:

I did read those comments. Not a lot of love there for SH5 or Ubi.

Comments? Where?

[Iron Budokan]

Not the Subsim main page, of course, but another one. Drat. Now I can't find it....

EDITED: Oh, okay, they're right below the announcement/link you have to the news page where the game is going gold. Just click on the link and just scroll down they are at the bottom. :)

@ Neal, (I think) they are refering to the comments from the IGN link that you posted.
http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/53280/Silent-Hunter-V-Battle-Of-The-Atlantic-Gold-Edition-Announced

;)

[Onkel Neal]

Oh, I see. Thanks!

I didn't post that, I guess Bill did. And that's not an article about SH5 "going gold" it's about a "gold edition". :dead:

I posted the link about SH5 "going gold" here, (http://www.subsim.com/index.php) about 9 items down, on Feb 15.

And all this time I thought this was the Information Age.:wah:

[Iron Budokan]

Ah, thanks, I had them mixed up, sorry. :salute:

[CaptainHaplo]

Oh cmon now - the information age was like..... eons ago. Or at least 9 years ago. Then "Dubya" got elected and it became the MIS-INFORMATION age - or so we are told.

Its all good - its gone gold.

[Onkel Neal]

Ah, thanks, I had them mixed up, sorry. :salute:


Haha, no problem I am just glad it is cleared up. I was looking everywhere on the Subsim News page for mysterious comments thinking, how come I haven't seen comments here before? Who runs this webpage? :doh:

[longam]

And all this time I thought this was the Information AgeJust be thankful the space age never turned out like they predicted for 2001 or al the stewardess would be dressed in these egg head suits.
