madrebel Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 hey i dropped by my local eb for lunch to pick up medal of honor(solid game highly reccomend it). On the shelf i notice an box for soldier of fortune 2 double helix. Im like wtf have i been asleep for a few months and missed the release? No i havent been, in my hungering stupor i didnt see the "coming soon" sticker for the first few seconds. Well after i notice "coming soon" on the box im like wait a minute, i thought raven was going to release JKO first. So i scan the games for a "coming soon" JKO box. Nothing there. So i ask the drunken EB guy. "hey bud"(they dont understand normal english you must talk to them in their native dialect) "whats gives dude" "whats the release date for SOF2" he gives me this look like he really doesnt give a **** he thinks he is cooler than me because he is a drunkard who is above childish video games. haha i think to myself as i remember i made more in the last hour than he will all day. he checks his computer screen and says "uhmm" (desperetly trying to hide the smell of the rum he had mixed in his coffee) "sof2 comes in on march the 6th" march 6 i think to myself that cant be right. so i ask "well dude then when is like JK2 going to be out" To which he exclaims "according to my computer april the 3rd". OMG NO i say to myself, APRIL 3RD!!! thats like 3 months away. Angry, i slam down my cash for MOH and walk away before he starts trying to talk shop with me. moral of the story is: wtf? i thought JKO was coming out sooner *disclaimer* i dont take EB as the authoritative body on all game releases. but this close to a gold game release they are usually pretty close.

ZeroXcape Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 EB's web site also lists 04/02/2002 But you know what? Who cares? The JKII release date is -=- MARCH 2002 -=- and that's all that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaberPro Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Probably EB gets a shipping delay? The release date is March 25 damnit! I won't accept late work!! (well, actually I do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter545 Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 end of March? I thought the US release date was March 25...we'll only get it a couple days early Well, its a couple of days. Yes, DAYS. And thats terrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Well, at least we get Ep II before you guys ... (same day, + much ealier time zone ....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest X-Vector Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Even though Kenn has mentioned March as the targeted month of release, there isn't a specific official release date and the game hasn't gone gold yet - anything may still happen. Release dates issued by retailers or publishers mean squat without official confirmation anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_silvergun Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Well, it looks like the bloke you spoke to at EB was wrong about SoF, so he could well be wrong about Outcast as well. <A HREF="http://www.bluesnews.com">Blue</A> is reporting that a <A HREF="http://jim.be/html/content/games/nieuws/details.htm?id=499">Belgian gaming site carries news</A> that SoF has been delayed till the end of the year. Of course, nothing is official until we hear this from Raven themselves. [EDIT] - This information has subsequently been <A HREF="http://www.gaminggroove.com/comment.cfm?id=2833">denied</A>. What a tangled web we weave, eh? - [/EDIT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption went gold, and exactly one week later you could buy it ... In fact, most games only need 1-2 weeks to go from gold to store, so this shouldn't be the deciding factor ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
