WhiteKnight77 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I guess Ubi is trying to get people to buy the game, especially after so many said they wanted to wait for a demo/gamer reviews. I wonder how many will get reimbursed if any? It's good to see Ubi promise this even if I am a bit skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARDelta Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I'm actually quite surprised by this offer and I just might take them up on it. Now the question is, will the date be pushed back again? *crosses fingers* I sure hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenmu Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Interesting offer, altough more because of the promise of a timely delivery than the reimbursement. at the latest on the day of the official public release of the game kinda makes me wonder if there'll be a good chance of getting it a few days early. Maybe even us in the EU will get it on the US release date (iirc we're meant to get it 3 or 4 days later). Then again there's a few stores near me that always bring out the big releases (and I'm sure this'll be a 'big' release) the day before they're supposed to.

WhiteKnight77 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 That's the thing, we still do not know an actual release date. Nothing has been firmed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=warcloud= Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Is starforce on GR:AW PC CD/DVD? after reading about SF i'm not quite sure if i'll buy the game as soon as its in retail outlets/shops and the same goes for RvS6 lockdown. I may wait to see how others get on installing GR:AW. I wish i never read about Starforce to be honest, but then again on the other hand i'm glad i did. So come on UBI get your bloody act together and sort this out once and for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteKnight77 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 There is supposed to be a less intrusive version of SF used from what I understand. Whether it is or not remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I pre-ordered mine back in September, will I be included as one of the first 500 ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Zulu Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) Strange enough as it seems, what if I said I was building a time machine and if you wanted it, than you'd need to send me $1000 before you even get a sample fix of my actual time machine? What sense does it make to pay for an idea on paper that has yet to be demonstrated in the form of a demo, or maybe even a five minute video. Something is foul here and I along with other smart consumers will wait untill we see some type of indication that this for one, "Is not a port, is optimized to play without numerous patching, has sophisticated AI programming, along with other numerous options that I can't think of at the moment. UBI Cooperate knows something that we don't, does the game play right? If so, show me it does before you put you're already money filled hands into my pockets! Oh and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.........

Cutter Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Another words they keep you're money no matter what. I pre-ordered the game back in September from the UBI store, I decided then I wanted the game from the things I read. Guess your "smart consumer" remark is a matter of opinion. They do not actually "keep" your money as you so put it. They charged my card to see if the money was there and two days later it was back in my account. They charge it and "keep" the money when it ships. So anyone that thinks they will be charged and have their money kept from pre-ordering should not fear . They charge when it ships, atleast the UBI store does. Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight !! ← Cutter if you read a bit closer, you'd find that they are not offering a gurantee with, no rights to change the date of the official release. in clearer terms if you pre-order it and they move the, "Official release date," that doesn't mean you automatically get a refund. Don't get me wrong brother, if I had atleast a demo to make a decision, I may be there with ya on the pre-order list. Unfortunately this marketing idea makes me a little leiry.

This is why I hate the term Scandinavia, occasionally Finland is considered part of Scandinavia and occasionally not, depending on the context. Which is it now? Are there any UBI guys hanging around here willing to clarify? Does this offer include Finland? PS. If you wanna be safe, just say "Nordic countries" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSebastian Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 only the first 500..

The official release date retained will be the day on which the game is officially publicly available..............." ← Man its easy money! order it now, against NO delivery date and we will send it out to you whenever we get round to releasing it............so if we keep moving the release date we never have to pay anything!!. only Ubi marketing staff could come up with this one!.

el nino foxhound Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Yeah, if UBI doesnt get all your pre-orders they go bankrupt...........guess what......GRAW will be cancelled. Or they could maybe go public instead, retrive like 250.000 from the public market Whats UBI's sales again??? If you dont trust them dont pre-order, its a decission you make yourself.

Ikillintel Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Didnt they get the PC community all hyped up for GR 2 and then never released it for PC , instead released it on console's.. now Im not trying to start a console war, but I play games like GR and Splinter cell on PC and racing and sports on my XBOX . I'm just not getting all excited for a game that may never come to be. I bought GR 2 for xbox and I didnot like it at all . I dont know it just felt different and to me just wasn't all they made it to be so I traded it for Ninja Gaiden . I think I got the better deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa6 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I'm considering waiting and seeing what you all think of GRAW before I plunk down my hard earned greens. "sigh" This whole thing about GRAW is like a bad hangover that won't go away. will it release? won't it, this is the release date, now it's not....

deleyt Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I don't trust UBI one bit anymore, so I'll pass on the offer. A year ago I bought GR2 along with an XBOX and I was extremely dissapointed (in both UBI and RSE). They advertised the sequel as a tactical game but it never was. It was arcade from the get-go. I'll wait for the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calius Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Very true ... Im certainly waiting for demo before i decide on anything. Or at least feedback from people who have purchased it (im even going to wait even when its released & even if demo seems good). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBrown918 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 ubisoft obviously sucks now, and the game will suck too...this is pathetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Well I have ordered this game in fact 2 copies one for me and one for the Daughter, who loves the GR games. My faith in this game is not reliant on UBI but Grin, as they are the Development team. Unfortunatly UBI is in charge of the release, so when it arrives god only knows. One point that does really disapoints me is, they ask you to buy the game and give you a special offer, but refuse to give a computer minimum system requirments to play said game, which to me is close to being pathetic, add to this the confusion on the various web sites re the price, release dates, and general poor managment of web information, they really need to look at their PR machine, and kick some royal butt and get it sorted. It is most unfortunate that Developers have to rely on large publishers to distribute the games they make. I expect they would wish to be able to do it themselves, I really feel for Development Houses Like Grin/RSE etc it must be extremly frustrating to see your work just pushed back. oops too much woffle sry.
