unwritt3n Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hey guys. To Rocky.. I noticed on the main page there is a news article about a "public beta" coming on Wednesday the 18th of April. Where did you hear about that? Offical word? If so, thats great! Will be the first to download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 The source is someone apparently speaking on the behalf of Ubisoft France. It's about as official as anything we know thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingkat Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 This is good news..............................at last. I am looking foward to playing the DEMO this week. Thankyou..........Kingkat................ (and maybe perhaps a "thankyou" to GRiN for helping UBI make an intelligent decision...? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 As it's an Ubisoft moderator (who are volunteers) and not a Dev or PR employee making the announcement, let's all hope that it's at least accurate enough to mean some form of beta or demo will be publically available very soon. Folks, if this doesn't happen, blame the messenger, as they may quite literally be incorrect, and it's not the fault of who they are speaking for. This is not from Ubisoft, it's from someone who is somewhat close to Ubisoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishStout Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Also, I have not looked at the post.. but is it a beta or a demo? Makes a huge difference.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 De même j'ai tenté de trouver le lien sur Fileplanet mais rien. Pour ceux qui n'ont pas encore eu la chance de tester la beta, ne vous inquietez pas, il semblerait que la bêta public debute le 18h Avril, àla même heure. I may be Canadian, but after four years of French, I can't translate, so... Babelfish gives me gibberish, so I tried Google Translate. Gibberish, but similar to Babelfish at least. In the same way I tried to find the bond on Fileplanet but anything. For those which were not likely yet to test beta, you do not worry, it would seem that public beta begins the 18h April, per same hour. The Ubisoft moderator believes there will be a public beta (no clue if it's the same one as the current private, or a revision) available on the 18th of April. GameSpy/FilePlanet, however, have stated that a public beta is not expected. Of course, like the above moderator, they can't speak for Ubisoft, just state what they believe/are told. Flip a coin, folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb85 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 ya know wut? i am going to assume there is going to be no public demo/beta. that way i wont be disappointed! if it does come out this wednesday...then awesomeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJAFO Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) You know what would help GR.net out? having RSS feeds. this way the ubisoft announcements come straight from the horses mouth and not from questionable sources or sources we have to create threads about and speculate. is this possible? at least for the future Edited April 16, 2007 by IamJAFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 RSS feeds? We have them! I swear, I'm the only one who seems to know this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toniezz Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It seems to be very unclear anyhow. If available it will probably be with limited keys: C'est ce que j'ai pu lire sur les forums US, ils tiennent ça du support US. Et c'est un peu ce que fait àchaque fois FilePlanet, 1 semaine pour les suscribers puis aprés open àtous dans la limite des clésAnd an official UBI moderator (UBI_Wiugi) states that all this news about a public Beta test is everything but official. L'information postée sur le forum US et relayée par Grizzli n'a absolument rien d'officiel. Personne de chez Ubi n'a donné cette information d'une ouverture plus vaste de la beta le 18 Avril, et de manière générale, une telle information, si elle était officielle, serait publiée sur le site officiel. Ce n'est pas le cas, donc ne vous y fiez pas Comme je vous l’ai dit, je vous tiendrai de toute façon au courant quand on aura plus d’informations officielles sur l’éventualité d’une nouvelle distribution de clés (qui reste encore àconfirmer, pour des questions de limitations techniques). disponibles.Even the news about extra Beta test keys is still to be confirmed by official sources. No word about a demo which is getting a rumour over here Easy folks. Why test a Beta if you are releasing a demo almost at the same moment? Thats not happening. Just be patient for official news. Otherwise you will only get dissappointed Cheer'zz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 You know what would help GR.net out? having RSS feeds. I am thinking you mean Ubi RSS feeds appearing here, as we already have a RSS feed for our news. The only problem with that, is that you already read GR news here days, if not weeks, before it appears on Ubi's news page more often than not Ubi don't really update ofen enough to justify an RSS feed, but if they had one we would certainly look at incorporating it. And yes, while it would be "official", let's not forget that history shows that there are more often than not mistakes in Ubi posts that we end up clarifying here.

IamJAFO Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Seems fair enough then. about this beta/demo whatever it's being called, will it be an open download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph_Q Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Does it make any sense to delete topics with opinions about videos from GRAW2 beta which is going to be available to everyone within 2 days ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeystick Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) Does it make any sense to delete topics with opinions about videos from GRAW2 beta which is going to be available to everyone within 2 days ? Actually, it was only moved to the beta forum And yes it had to be moved. The videos where not officialy released by UBI so I guess it was violating the NDA. Also, a relase of a public beta on Wednesday is just a rumor. Edited April 16, 2007 by Hockeystick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamJAFO Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) Rocky, You said on the front page, the information about GRAW2 public beta/demo has been refuted. does anyone have a phone number for UBISOFT France so I can ask where they went to business school? what a mess. Added: I just got off the phone with UBISOFT San Fransisco and even they have no idea about a Demo or anything. the rep also said that the ones running the forums would be the ones who have the inside information. Where does this leave us? Edited April 16, 2007 by IamJAFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It leaves us with a rather strange post by a Ubi moderator on official forums. My personal opinion, for what it's worth, no demo this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJAFO Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm quite dismayed after having analysed the information versus what is happening around here in regards to the beta. I think it's highly unkind of UBISOFT to shaft Rocky in such a way as to allow for this rampant speculation. UBISOFT needs to get a grip on this mess. When I called the UBISOFT San Fransisco office, I even mentioned this situation is out of control. on to my personal thoughts, it's as if no one is at the helm.
