Re: Delays! D:
Well, I suppose it would be better for the game to be delayed rather than get released with lots of bugs and such.

Re: Delays! D:
Oh, thank God. If CA needs more time, then I grant it!
As long as it's released by early summer...

Nice find, Sheogorath! I hope you don't mind, but I've altered the thread title a bit and am going to pin this at the top of the forum for a while.
Seconded.

Re: Empire delayed until March
S'alright, Martok.
Furthermore, this is my second sticky on the org. I feel special
And I think I made my feelings clear on this subject a while ago in a separate topic, but, to clarify, I do indeed approve of all necessary delays such as should be required in order to provide us with a superior gaming experience.

ETW Delayed until March
http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/56333
At least it will give them a bit more time to polish the game up.
Re: ETW Delayed until March
Great news, good.
If this means that they will manage to build the game to even a bit more closer to being a "complete" game, then it's all good.
I hope that even after this, if the game is still not ready then that the publisher will push the release date even further. I mean Mercenaries 2 supposed to be released almost exactly one year before their actual release, and when they released it despite the extra time given it's still incredibly uncompleted game.
Re: ETW Delayed until March
Hmm
Delays this close to release smack of the game being nowhere near finished.
I have a nasty sneaking suspicion that CA may have made the game too ambitious, and bitten off more than they can chew.
Re: ETW Delayed until March
Well, well, well, all this delay......it better be worth it.
The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

Missed the sticky, guys? :P

Re: ETW Delayed until March
Delays are never good, not for the company and not for the customer.
Project plans should be set in the beginning that are achievable and any movement of those plane shows that something is not going as expected. If CA set a release date of February then they obviously thought they would have a complete game by then, if they have had to move it back then they've obviously encountered problems. So saying that a delay is good is a load of rubbish really.
Re: Empire delayed until March
I dont know what you people think about this game but for me it seems that this would be the greatest strategy game EVER, it is the most compleate game ever and I am so excited to play it, and if it means they would fix all problems and give us the best, then hell ya, prolong it for five months.
By the way, does anyone know would it be possible to play the game after 1800, couse that is the most chalenging years

Re: Empire delayed until March
I think it's until early 1800s.
Still... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I was gonna save my money from Christmas for this. I just know I'm not going to be able to resist MoH Heroes 2 till then. *dribbles*

RexCroatorum, the game ends in 1799 and a winner is declared, but we can continue to play as long as we want but there will be no Tech advances or Character aging and such.

Re: Empire delayed until March
Their delaying to add a campaign 1 vs 1 multiplayer mode WOOO!!!
"Significantly the additional time will also allow us to implement the underlying technology for a much desired feature (thanks to your feedback!); a multiplayer campaign mode. An opportunity to participate in the 1 versus 1 multiplayer campaign mode beta will be made available to all Empire Total War buyers post release."
from http://www.sega.co.uk/empire/gameinfo/news.php?n=2775
There is going to be a Multiplayer Campaign Mode!!!!!
They are delaying ETW to add this new mode!!!
It's only going to be 1vs1 though, but better than nothing!!!

Re: Empire delayed until March
MP campaign....hmm....I hope it comes with a save feature, not everyone can play a whole campaign in one sit down but it does sounds like an awesome feature.

This is great news. It's about time.

Re: Empire delayed until March
I guess I win the pool.
a reply from a thread back in jan. 2008. Folks were hoping back then for a 2008 release.March 2009 might be a better guess.
Re: There is going to be a Multiplayer Campaign Mode!!!!!
very interesting news...1vs1 is be a great start, maybe multiple players in an expansion pack
Re: There is going to be a Multiplayer Campaign Mode!!!!!
Brill news! This new feature sounds really cool actually lol. A Multiplayer Campaign mode sounds so much fun! And great to see their taking the extra time to make the game perfect as well!

Re: Empire delayed until March
Good. I hope they do better on balancing and bug fixing this time around compared to their last few installments.
Re: ETW Delayed until March
Oh, that's where the thread went. I thought this one was a bit different, and was wondering why Martok deleted my post...
EDIT: Wait, now the threads are merged. Heh.

Re: ETW Delayed until March
Except when you compare CA's polish with Blizzard's. Almost all the posters here know that Rome and Medieval 2 should've been delayed by at least a few months to fix all sorts of balance issues and bugs. Hearing that Empire is delayed gives us hope that CA is now really trying to give this game some polish instead of releasing something early in an unfinished state.
Re: ETW Delayed until March
Although if there are in fact problems, a single month is hardly enough time to resolve them properly.
Re: Empire delayed until March
that is A GOOD THING. much betterr to wait a month or two for a better, less buggy game than to have M2TW pre-patch again..
Re: Empire delayed until March
multiplayer campaign mode i justmy pants!
