Gabrobot Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Most interesting...on the official Lucasarts site, their little game selector thingy says for Jedi Academy that it's gone gold and that it'll be in stores on the 17th of september...pre-order it here .
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 SWEAT!!!!!!!, but whay is gonna take so long to release . It's just not fair, it's just not fair *crys*
Obi-Wan X Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Strange, I don't even see JA on the game selector thing. Just a large gap between two games where JA will probably be.
Neverhoodian Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Good to hear it's finally gone gold. I'll probably get it for Christmas, though.
Reprehence Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 I saw this on the site too. I wonder what they are holding it for?? It usually only takes a week or two from the time something goes gold until it surfaces at stores (not a whole month).
StormHammer Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Well, that's great news, and thanks for the heads-up. It's good to see the speculated date was close to the actual release date. Time to update the ole FAQ... Just over a month to go...and I can't wait.
The_One Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 [Mr Burns]Exxcccelllente[/Mr Burns] Still not quite as hyped for this as Half Life 2 It'll be out for 2 weeks, then most people will forget it in the wake of HL2. If it's gone gold, they should get it out ASAP. September is a suicidal month to release a game this year.
Tarus Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 I agree. Ill probably be getting HL2 before jedi academy if the release dates fall to close. I do enjoy the series for the most part but I do have priorities Course I guess I coudl just buy them both....
boinga1 Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 huh. It doesn't even get a lucasarts.com headline? What's up with that. And yes, even bettwer, now it's three days after my birthday, and in the middle of the week. I tell, you, it's personal. They're out to get me.
HaruGlory89 Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Half-Life 2, JA. I think I'll get JA first and maybe HL2 in Christmas... or maybe I won't get HL2 at all. Hmm...
Mut12 Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 What does it mean when a game has gone gold? coz i always see it and never know what it means
Gabrobot Posted August 14, 2003 Author Posted August 14, 2003 Originally posted by Mut12 What does it mean when a game has gone gold? coz i always see it and never know what it means It means that the game is finished and Lucasarts is now reproducing enough copies of the game for the release day.
Reprehence Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 I'm gonna get JA and wait on HL2 until I can upgrade my puter. It just doesn't make much sense to get HL2 with the system I have now.
zdk1 Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 And yes, even bettwer, now it's three days after my birthday, and in the middle of the week. I tell, you, it's personal. They're out to get me. hehe and its four days before mine
Kurgan Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Woohoo! Then again, I'm kinda sad that they didn't continue working a little longer to perfect the game before release. Buuut.. I don't know their schedules or how they are working at crunch time, so I'm sure they did what they thought was best. Can't wait!
Andy867 Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Funny how people complained about the box cover art when load behold, it turns out to be the Jedi Outcast symbol with just a green marble look to it... Will people complain still, or embrace it like they did Jedi Outcast;)

It usually only takes a week or two from the time something goes gold until it surfaces at stores (not a whole month). Maybe they have other things to finish up, like the manual or something Originally posted by Preorder gift - Licence plate frame UNLEASH YOUR INNER NERD! STICK THIS BABY ON YOUR 1984 HONDA CIVIC AND PREPARE TO BE EGGED AND TAUNTED! That would look funky on my 2002 VW Jetta. And since I work at a but hi-tech company, I would be hailed as the uber-nerd! All would bow before me1 I would be looking su-weet driving down the freeway with that pumping toons by Public Enemy Oh no wait...that would suck (except the Public Enemy part).
StormHammer Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Prime...you could well be right about the manuals and stuff... Also, I don't know how quickly they pump out these CD's, but maybe they are aiming for a larger number of games being available on release, possibly based on sales figures for Jedi Outcast. Also...they might be aiming for simultaneous releases in different countries, which obviously takes more coordination, and holding back in some countries. Anyway, it's not that long to wait. Just another month, and we'll be able to judge if the wait was worthwhile.
The_One Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Well, I'll pick it up on release day or soon after. Hopefully I can finish it before Half Life 2 comes out - it will be gaming heaven during September methinks There are lots of other good games coming then too.
