"That wouldn't be to bad if Vivendi wasn't the owner of Sierra Studios. Vivendi is already starting it's downfall. They spent too much money buying out other companies like the USA network(USA, Scifi channel), Sierra, Blizzard, etc. and they didn't get the returns they expected. In 2001 alone they lost 13.6 billion euros(they are a french company)."
Great, my 2 favorite software companies, Blizz and Sierra, get bought by the same co. that is have'n $ probs and might ride them into the ground. That figures. :( Thinks happy thoughts, thinks happy thoughts.
Hmmm....They didn't say which holliday though..
Maybe Thanksgiving? ;)

Holiday(s).... Hmmm...
For some reason, I think that means the Christmas season, unfortunately (since that holliday is more "worldly". Thanksgiving is only in the US - and Holloween isn't really a holliday in the classical sense....
Piss...

Sigh.. I wanted a few more months between HL2 and Doom3 :D

i wish i could say this to my teacher about turning in a research paper late. the holidays they are talking about is probably 4th of july. one question, how early do companies usually announce that a game has gone gold before the "real" release date? a month? cause if so i think they would have done so by now. none of this "probably during the holiday season bull$hit"Quote:

I read over at VoodooExtreme, Gabe said Holidays 2003. So I guest that's better than a generic "Holidays" release. Based on the observation that developers almost always take the latest possible time for their vague forcast, I think mid-December is a good guest. I realise a lot of retailers are guesting mid-November. But I get the feeling there is a lot more to fix than Valve originally expected.
Thanksgiving is also in Canada.Quote:

And much earlier too!
Hope they are talking about the canadian date (unlikely :o) so I can play the game over the long weekend.
I can always dream can't I?
Could you provide a direct link to the Alcatraz Video? None of the ones I tried worked for me.
Including this "Official" one (very unprofessional for ATi's Marketing Devision to screw something like this)

Thanks in advance.
Ahh, I did not know that :o .Quote:

Yeah, now that the source code has been leaked, Valve probably has more to "fix" before releasing the game :(. Now I'm *hoping* that the game gets released within the next 6 months.....
I have this funny feeling that December will come and go like Sept. 30th....
:mad:
