If it doesn't come out in September or October than I'll find a monkeys ass and kiss it... and besides I was talking about the person u were quoting....
yolkboy Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 We don't have any official date yet, but if I had to guess, I'd say it will be before September 16th. Well, he said "before", I just hope it's not like Sept. 15 Aw who cares! It's one more day of game time!
Obi-Wan X Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 I agree about the September release as well. Though does anyone else think its strange that we really haven't seen a really up to date website concering the game?
yolkboy Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Yeah! I'm a bit disappointed with LA I want at least an update once a week about the game. I mean is it really that hard? The other games are getting much more coverage it seems yet most of them aren't as close to releasing. Lately, it has been slow regardless of what game but I haven't seen a JA thing up in a looooonnnnnnnng time. They have to hype up the game to get the news out to more people.
HertogJan Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Actually, I'm quite pleased with the way LA and Raven are supplying us with tidbits of info. New screenshots every now and then, a lot of interviews done, a trailer, and Mike from Raven comes here to comment on some topics, which is great too!!
yolkboy Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the updates and all. Esp, Mike, thank goodness. How would I have made it without him popping up now and then But I just wish there was more. I wan't to be hyped up about the game so much that I'll wake up early to go buy it
txa1265 Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Marketing is about timing and avoiding saturation. LA is still riding KOTOR, which is still very new in the market. They also have the GameCube tie in for Rebel Strike. They have to be very careful about over-pushing 3 Star Wars titles at the same time - 4 if you think about the XBox release of KOTOR as a separate lauch (I do!). They also have all of those other games they are working on, some of which also hit this fall/winter. Also, JA has an established fan based, and FPS games seem to get much of their press through industry new sites - like GameSpy or BluesNews - rather than the company's game sites. Honestly, for many people, with the exception of a REAL release date, the JA site is fine to show the game. I still expect that in the next few weeks we'll start to see things cranking up for the game. Mike
Prime Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Originally posted by txa1265 I still expect that in the next few weeks we'll start to see things cranking up for the game. I agree. I suspect that at the end of August we'll start to see a real marketing push for this game...
txa1265 Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Originally posted by Prime I agree. I suspect that at the end of August we'll start to see a real marketing push for this game... LA seems to be doing some internal prioritization ... KOTOR has hit its' stride, so chances are those internal resources are freeing up. Also - did you notice that Full Throttle just got cancelled! That will also have an impact. Mike
yolkboy Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Also - did you notice that Full Throttle just got cancelled! That will also have an impact. Really? Whoa... I agree. I suspect that at the end of August we'll start to see a real marketing push for this game... Yay!

Grey_Wanderer Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 September 16 is an estimate, no game release date (apart from the spawn of satan Enter the Matrix) has a definite release date. And if it IS released on that day, it means I'm going to have a serious, uh, *cough* that week. Oh btw, Half Life 2 has been delayed until Christmas, and no reason was given for the delay. [Maybe some one already mentioned this, but if not: Have you been living under a rock?]
HertogJan Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 No HL2 hasn't been delayed officially. Vivendi Universal Games said it yes, but then Valve said they're still aiming at a 30 september release, and after that Vivendi too said Valve was working for a 30 september release So as for now, I'll think it isn't delayed
Emon Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 The HL2 delayed thing is a pretty big mess, we'll have to wait a few weeks and see.
amas128 Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Well LA just updated the Rebel Strike website (you should check it out, it's looking good) so a JA one should follow pretty soon.
