shouldnt sh-5 have gone gold by now?

Iron Budokan · 02-23-10, 01:09 PM

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.

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

Yes gold is out. But have you read all the responses below the game pics on that link?

Looks bad no matter where you go.

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