Release ~14th?
Would it be correct of me to assume that the game would be released near the 14th of February - near the same time as the Apolyton previews would be completed?

That is assuming both parties are coordinating. Infogrames isn't known for coordinating releases, even internally. I believe Chantz has said it is out of even his hands now. A Valentine's Day release would be showing us some love but I don't think my wife would appreciate it.

I'm counting on the first week of march. Any earlier would simply be nice.

Feb 3rd!? Why, thats only 3 days away!
But i must say, i'm going to be a pessemist (spelling?) on this topic and say Feb 14th sounds correct

He also says that it is in IG marketings hands. That was what the design team was assuming, he doesn't know for sure either.
ACK!

He never said it will be out Feb. 5th. He just stated that it would have been possible to reach that date. But it most likely will not be reached.

They were said some time ago by IG marketing that the game will be out latest by Feb 5th, but that was at the beginning of January.
So, there is no reason at all why it should be still valid given the multiple delays.

The press release said "as early as" the 25th. So I'm betting thats the irritating release date.

Rantz's conspicuous absense from this thread while he's been commenting in other threads here is something to note...

I note that CD duplication and game distribution is not his department.

The game should be available soon...copying and distributing CDs is not very difficult, even a nobody with a CD burner in his basement can copy things at a good rate...let alone a multi-million dollar company doing it.
So it should be soon, but prolly won't be until about Late Feb to early April.

Well, the CDs are probably already finished. But IG has decided its in the best interest of college students everywhere to wait until after spring semester for release.

I've seen the release date for the US, but what about Norway?

If you're interested in commiting seppuku, you're supposed to rip your guts out with a dagger, while a good friend stands behind you with a sword. After you spill your guts, he chops your head off so you won't have a sudden moment of weakness while you're dying. Cutting your own throat is for pansies. . .

What happens to your friend? They get arrested for murder - or do they have to commit seppuku as well - you could end up with the entire world's population killing each other at once...

So what is it do you think it going to be out soon or late, Even though they can rush it I think it costs less if they go slow. C&C Generals seem to be taken there time as well.

Speculating the release date:
Just check on i**n**s.com and when it is listed there you'll know it comes out in a week or so.

Not neccessarily. For example, Arcanum was there TWO MONTHS before it was sold. Interplay pushed it back to avoid two maior other games. Diablo2 and BG2 - Throne of Bhaal if I remember correctly.
Other games were only there after they were sold in stores.
Sometimes the release groups get a game early, sometimes not.
