If I've got to wait until Jan 2, it had better be a "sight"!

No, in Australia we don't live with kangaroos and koalas in our backyards... Despite any stupid advertisments you may see to the contrary... (And no, koalas don't usually speak!)

dainbramaged13 · November 29, 2000, 16:50

face it, guys, the way its going, the site wont be updated until after the game is released

Harel · November 29, 2000, 16:56

IF it will be released, you mean. For all we know, Firaxis could have been over-run by a cyborg invasion...

Jeezus. Give them a break guys. The site'll be up when it's up, and the demo will be out when it's out and the game will be done when it's done.

Who the hell are we to be telling them when to have their web site up? I want this game out as much as the next guy, but man.. talk about pretentious.

Hey Hydro!: Shut up.

Leave off the Australians, they're as cool as everyone else is. They should probably not even have feilds when you register requesting where you say you are from because then you get people like you saying not-so-nice stuff to people like ultrasonix.

Anyway I doubt the web site won't be up until after the game is out. As I recall, they said it would have previews of what the game is like, and in order for it to be a preview, no one can have seen the actual game yet. Thus the web site should be up before the game is out, and I agree that we should forget about it until after the new year.

Troll,

You might well be trying to live up to your name, but I won't tolerate attacking people in that manner. If you have something intelligent to say, please say it intelligently.

UltraSonix · December 3, 2000, 06:59

I don't mind people having a go at me - I just don't recommend it, especially in the OTF, since Ming really doesn't like those sort of threads.

I thought you might be joking, but I just thought I'd add that anyway, not to be harping on you, but just in defence of the australians.
BTW, I am not 'involved' with anyone on this forum, and have no desire to be.

hHydro · December 4, 2000, 16:13

The web site not up until the game is out??? WHAT??

Look, I'm normally a really nice guy, but I that idea's just plain dumb.

Regarding the web site, it's called a MARKETING EFFORT. I'm sure the Firaxis/Hasbro marketing departments have a schedule all worked out as to when they go live with the site (taking into account delays to the game of course). They're not just gonna throw the site up for the sake of it. No doubt they'll coordinate the site with releases to the gaming community and magazines. (And no.. just because they have a date in mind doesn't mean they have to tell you what it is.)

The idea that they won't have the web site up before the game is out is ridiculous. But even then.. who cares? It's just a web site! It's not like it's going to get the game into your hands any sooner? Why are some of you making such a big deal about this?

Do you realise that most of the threads in the forum right now are probably a waste of time simply because Firaxis has probably already made a decision on the issue/s - we just don't know about them!

I know one thing they're "not ready to discuss, yet." The map, ie. weather it's in 3d w/raised elevations, the shapes of the tiles, etc. Because I asked them and that's what they said. So all our threads about the map, keep them going, they haven't even started to discuss it yet (even though it is one of the most important aspects. After all, what are your units going to walk on? And what areas will your cities garvest from? 21 squares, or x triangles, or all pixils in x radius?).

Deathwalker · December 5, 2000, 06:31

How come all the best games take forever to come out with. Like Resident Evil to name one. Some camanies just take forever and that includes the web sites. Other include Aliens Vs Presdator and Tiberian Sun the more people want it the less effort they put in, it's madening?

So let me get this straight.. you asked Firaxis about their maps.. and simply because they have not decided to share details of the game with you, you have deduced that they haven't finished working on them yet?

Look. I happen to work a floor below Relic, the guys who did Homeworld. Some of you have probably played Homeworld and may agree that it was a truly original and well implimented idea. Now if you're still a year and a half away from finishing your game, you aren't going to go out and tell everyone what your ideas are. Relic was totally hush-hush while working on the game. Hell, you should see the security they had up there. When you make games, your ideas are going to make or break you. You don't go sharing them with everyone.

We may all like Firaxis and Sid and what they've done, but they're not going to start marketing and openly talking about the game until they're ready.

..and Ultra: I agree.. It's my guess that most of the fundamentals probably have been worked out by now. But great ideas can still worm their way into a finished product late in the game. Besides. Some of the less frustrating threads are fun to participate in.

hHydro · December 7, 2000, 22:20

Hmm.. airdrik;

That came off sounding like a rant at you. Not what I intended. I see a reoccurring theme here though that people keep talking like Firaxis owes them something, and it's starting to grate on my nerves. Spoiled child syndrome, you know? "I WANT TO KNOW NOW. AIIAHHGHH!!"

That sort of thing. Really we all just need to find ourselves a diversion until CIV3 actually comes out. It will be SO much easier on our psyches that way. =)

Finally tried CTP2. Ugh. I'll gladly wait for Civ3. 'nuff said.

airdrik · December 7, 2000, 23:31

I see what you and they mean. They just don't want to disclose such info. I misunderstood what they said. Boy do I feel sheepish

Being a sheep isn't so bad with the good lord Sid as our shepherd..

Man that sounds corny... sorry.
