Bowen Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Originally posted by Ihatetheblind I hope that the continental drift picks up in the next couple of days thusly forcing all continents back into one large land mass, just like the good old days. Then we can simply be one people, one nation under one flag, with only one standard of recording date. It will be a beautiful utopia where all people are equal and recieve games at the same time. I will be the supreme monarch of this new country and I will decree that jk2 be released march 9 2002 (9/3/02 or 03/09/02 or maybe even 02/03/09). This new land will be called Bob and will bring peace and prosperity to all of my vassals,.......LONG LIVE ME!!!!!!! .......LONG LIVE ME!!!!!!! Screw that....if you have the power to make it happen, then make a decree stating that it's going to be released today!!
Millions o' Monkeys Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 we have about 4 topics going at once here well gonkh8er is often right and we should listen to him geeze kurgan you still impress me with your posts (always lengthy) and i forgot what else was going on, and now ive confused myself....goodnight
Indy4 Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 whatever i just hope it goes gold tommorow what time do ya think? does lucasarts ever update on saturday? SEYA
Rat Boy Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Who knows? Maybe it's the press release, maybe it's the disc actually leaving for the manufacturers.
L3onheart Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Is it just me or has the LA JO site been "graphically" updated? I never noticed the JO logo on the left side column... and the menu links used to glow instead of just being highlighted... wasn't it? That has to be a sign... right?

Kurgan Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Sorry Gabrobot, but I don't think you were right. I didn't read the entire thread, but your initial post contained this: Now suppose JO DID go gold on march 8. 17 days after that it would be... march 25! That would explain why all the previews etc. give a date around that time! Anyway, That's my speculation So your speculation was that it would go gold TODAY. So that means it should be announced in another 6 or so hours... keep refreshing the page I guess. Gonk's speculation was that it would go gold TOMORROW (Saturday, March 9th). If the release dates heard from stores (March 28-29) are correct, that would extend the gone gold date (according to your formula) by a few more days too. Anyway, this is all speculation. I don't know what to think, but I won't hold my breath until I see it announced on the official site. Update: Oh I see that you're saying that for Australia it would be March 9th (8th for the US), so you and Gonk are both speculating for today to be the gone gold day rather than tomorrow...
Silent_Thunder Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 What a sec... When Gonk says that the game will go gold on the 9th, does that mean today? So it's the 9th where Gonk lives (Australia?), and the 8th in America? If so, that would mean we'll get to know the release date by the end of today... Yay .
Indy4 Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 when is the rumour it going gold today in the us march 8 or tommrow in the us march 9???????? SEYA does lucasarts ever update on a saturday? when should lucasarts update this information?
Jeedii_zaarinn Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 what does going gold mean?? so it may or may not come out 2morrow
Indy4 Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 look in past posts in this thread GonkH8er any updates on jedi outcast going gold??????? SEYA [Edit - Stormy - please try not to double post - especially for one-sentence posts. Double-posting is only acceptable if you have a very long post that needs to be broken up... Thanks. ]
RichyBoy Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 Well, there hasn't been a 'gone gold' announcement yet and it appears that the LEC site has been updated - well, they've put a new poll up anyway. This one is the exciting question of "Which of the three new Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast screensavers is your favorite?". The least they could do is put a tidy poll up, like "How long do think we're gonna keep stringing you guys along before we give you any release info on Jedi Outcast" ! Btw, where's my chocolate medallion and forum welcome basket? I'm hungry .
SaberPro Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 Originally posted by Jeedii_zaarinn what does going gold mean?? so it may or may not come out 2morrow It means the game is done and it will be sent to places for mass-copies and send them to stores
digl Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 a question for people who knows about going gold and this stuff... How do they make the master disc? How can they be 100% sure the disc is perfect, and doesn't have any error? Maybe they make several masters, and compare them to check incongruencies?
Indy4 Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 Originally posted by RichyBoy This one is the exciting question of "Which of the three new Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast screensavers is your favorite?". what jedi outcast screensavers? SEYA
GonkH8er Posted March 9, 2002 Author Posted March 9, 2002 Probably the 3 flash screensavers they're preparing to put up? Put the poll up before the content.... *shrugs*
RichyBoy Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 Yes, as GonkH8er said, the ones that are "coming soon" according to the site. I have to say that it doesn't fill me with much confidence that JO will be released this month if they can't even manage to update the website in the correct order !!
Indy4 Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 GonkH8er any updates on this gone gold issue? any updates from the people that told you this? SEYA
digl Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 I had not seen your post about the poll RichyBoy I started a new thread about it some moments ago
SilentDark Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 Its going gold reaaaaaaaaaaaaal soon I think. I mean, why do they have the spare time to make a stormtrooper skin and 3 screensavers?
SaberPro Posted March 9, 2002 Posted March 9, 2002 Originally posted by digl a question for people who knows about going gold and this stuff... How do they make the master disc? How can they be 100% sure the disc is perfect, and doesn't have any error? Maybe they make several masters, and compare them to check incongruencies? Of course there is a lot of debug during the process, the work is separated between Raven programmers, then combine into 1 software...i think this is why they have beta testers before the game goes gold...and yeah they have several master disc (so they can mass-copy faster )
