I assume the game will be going gold any time now. maybe by the first of march.
The game will probably be mass produced and shipped within two weeks of going gold.

I think we need a sticky thread for this game requirments fiasco.

Hey Flintlock. Check your PMs ok?

Usually games have a two week period between going gold and hitting the shelf. If the release date holds firm (which could still change), I would say early next week.

I expect the game to go Gold the week starting March 5th.

Sounds a bit late-ish - isn't it generally 2 weeks before release? (unless the north american release has been delayed also?)

TDK1044 · 02-22-07, 09:11 PM

I'd be surprised if was earlier than that personally..but I could be wrong.

You might be right, Heres wishing

Going gold sounds like a great excuse to get waisted

Mikkow · 02-23-07, 08:51 AM

Sounds like you are 'waisted' already judging by that typing. Heheheheh

No drug abuse for me (drug abuse I define as taking any drug that is not medically motivated and is harmful). I make exceptions for smaller amounts of caffeine

though could I find the same substances/drinks (chocolate/tea) without it, I'd choose it instead.

What about the rest of you?

Usually 2-4 weeks is the standard (3-4 weeks being what i have seen most).

Also, keep in mind, that it is possible for a game to go Gold and the news not be sent out for a little bit of time.

Yeah, but going gold pre-supposes that Beta Testing is complete. I have it on very good authority that Beta Testing is not yet complete on SH4.

You're a beta-tester aren't you :hmm:
