when is this game ever going to be released. first of all it was going to be out end of March, then June now August. i can see it being out nearer christmas now.. oh well.

kinda disappointed that it wasnt out sooner. all i can say is it better be worth the wait.

Indeed, dissapointing! But it happens all the time, it's out when it's out I guess.

One step ahead.....fingers crossed nVidia will have decent drivers by then - Otherwise It's getting flogged and I'm getting an R650

you tried the new 158. drivers? Seem much better than the old 97. ones.

Ahh well delays are better than bringing out a game that crashes every 10 mins with poor preoformance

STALKER anyone?

FrenchTart · 19 Apr 2007 at 15:42

It was delayed till August aaaggeesss ago. Get with the BioShock hip crowd, dude. And all that

It's unfortunate but I think Ken Levine is quite a trustworthy guy to do 'stuff' and 'things' so hopefully everything will be alright.

Someone's just posted some new pics on the 2kgames forum actually:

dafloppyone · 19 Apr 2007 at 18:53

well you feel bad about that ......imagine how bad those of us feel who have been waiting for the new elite game!

HangTime · 19 Apr 2007 at 22:11

Cool, wasn't expecting this so soon

DJammyRasta · 20 Apr 2007 at 10:11

problems with games these days is they all give totally unrealistic release dates... and are then either pushed into releasing a game that is nowhere near complete.. or have to delay the release... personally i would prefer them to do what valve attempted to do with hl2 and work on the game for years in secret.. obviously the whole getting half ** code stolen and having to start again was a bit of a downer, but the whole secrecy thing was a good idea and stops all the hype and waiting

Not generating hype is unfortunately not something all companies can afford.
Valve had the good position, of HL1 being a massive hit, so if they announce HL2, it would spread like wildfire.
All the games I'm looking forward to, do have predecessors ... so they have no excuse
