Delayed UK release?

[Rob (R8XFT)]

According to Amazon.com, the release date for US version is 28th Oct, which is what we were expecting; but I went onto the Amazon.co.uk for the UK version, and they had a release date of 21st Nov!!

I really hope this is an error. The UK seem to be always last to recieve the patches, but if this release date is correct, then my feelings about it are unprintable.

 

[Oruc]

Nope!

It's correct.In Europe,we will get Conquest one month later.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Amazon have now changed the date to 31.10.03.

 

[dexters]

Good stuff.

If Atari can now figure out how to acknowledge people who bought PTW, we'll be all set.

 

[Raw is War?]

This sounds much better than the PTW release! I hope they don't change it again.

R8XFT: Where abouts in Leeds?

 

[Dargoth]

Dont complain

PTW took till Febuary 2003 to come out in Australia

Really? WTH? Is it that hard to load up a big big boat with copies of C3C and ship them to Rotterdam?

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Impressive : Raw is war? was asking whereabouts in Leeds, not whereabouts is Leeds.

Raw is war? : Near Elland Road football ground & PC World - where (to bring some relevance to the thread) is where I will apparently be able to buy C3C from the end of October.

Thats ****, were always dumped on in the UK, I still dont understand why we get patches last, they wont let us use the American patch and for gods sake, why, it's not as if you need a drgree to do the translation?

At a certain point in time, we have to give the Amazons of the world a release date. Experience has shown that it is better to give a safe date that you can improve later than an aggressive date that slips out later and later.

I won't "announce" anything about Rest of World ship dates for these reasons. However, if all goes as expected, the extra time between the North American and the ROW launch should decrease dramatically before the end of October.

Best,

Thanks for the info!

 

[Deathwalker]

Thanx for the reply

I understand. Look at the Tomb Raider... The release date slipped more often then an blindfolded man walking on ice strewn with bannana skins...

 

[Seanirl]

but...but.... but... wait... on play.com it says the 7th

so when WILL it be released in Europe? .... possibly the 7th?...... you said DRAMATICALLY.... but also the end of october

bah... I was looking forward to this. At least I have Max Payne 2...

 

[Seanirl]

oh wait... never mind. Got a little confused there.... confused November and October... I thought the end of October was a month away

Probably because of not having a watch recently.... I bought one, then it broke. Twice.

yeah, I wish everyone would do that. It's so ****ing annoying having to wait like... 6 months or something extra for Half Life 2. I know they got hacked but what the hell where they doing with having the beta on that.... insecure thing? Seems a bit too convienient to me...

Back on topic, I wish they'd just estimate when they think the game'll be ready and add 3 months to it. Then when it comes out then, you won't be disappointed, and if it comes out early it's an added bonus.
