calius Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Here is the big question, when will devs stand up to the marketing and accounting department and tell them or better yet, show them what fans want or actually begging for? - Nice one WK. UBIRAZZ : I'm quite ill today so I won't be replying point by point but please bear this in mind: When a game is in development the developers could keep working on it forever to make it as good as they can, however there is a balancing act to perform between publisher and developer in releasing the game in a state that everyone's happy with and hitting release dates. Christmas is the biggest time of the year for the games industry and to miss out on that period with GRAW obviously means that the development team would not be happy with the release pre-Christmas. This is not pressure from upon high, this is the devteam saying this, if it was from upon high it would be released before Christmas and hit the busiest time of year. So, to conclude, the devteam want more time to work on the game and make it as good as they can, taking into account all of your feedback. Adds up I guess.

WhiteKnight77 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 That was more rhetorical than anything else really. I am just venting a bit as some of what I see is strange if you think about it. I will expound more on this later though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly it is not actually to make the game more like GR1 ... combo-power slides perhaps??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly it is not actually to make the game more like GR1 ... combo-power slides perhaps??? ← We have pages and pages of requests from fans, with a cutoff date of just a couple of weeks ago, massive and vociferous unhappiness about the lack of character switching and replays, and you ask what could they possibly be working on? I'll say this, if they weren't committed to making the fans happy, we'd have a game by Christmas. I'm sure at some point the question was asked, "so do we release it by Christmas without these things the fans demand, or will they understand that if you insist on certain elements it takes longer?" Looks like to some extent we are getting what we asked for, and now we are complaining about it!! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over?

warhawk Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 @Tortfeaser I am not going to repost what I just put up over at the UBI forums. Simply because I have said it here in other areas so many times before and believe it or not I don't really like typing out long winded posts. Just seems to happen that way. But perhaps you should go there and take a look for yourself. Stout Hearts |RE|Warhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRP 56 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Vent away WK77. If GRAW for PC is pretty much finished it makes no sense at all to not release it during the cash cow holiday season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
