Confirmed delay? No chance at a Q1 release?

[Wulf145]

A Demo? I haven't seen many developers create a demo for a game in a long time. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. But it's not like how it was 10 years ago. I remember getting my monthly copy of PC Gamer that included a demo disk. This was of course before wide spread adoption of high speed (cable or better) internet and so a 100mb download took 5-10 hours via 56k dial up modem.

Although it depends on when they internally know when the game will release. Like they may be planning for Q2-Q3 at this point internally depending on current development cycle(s), so releasing a demo in the next few months would be "potentially" feasible if they can afford the man power. But I just don't see it happening.

Depends on how much work it is to truncate the Program just to include the SCW, if it is just 8 -16 Man hours it would be worth it, but if you need anything more then I agree that the effort would be better allocated to finishing the game itself.

Having said that I would still like to have a Demo, but can understand it if they don't produce one.

Also keep in mind that Mercury ranges from one third to one half as far from the sun as Earth.

I think you missed the possible subtext of cplKatie's wording... the planets are inside of Earth's night sky. Or maybe I enjoy wordplay too much

Ah, didn't Johan mention something about needing to do something on Ides of March.

Thought he was trolling Rome 2 again. But.....

If it was Shams we would know for sure it was a troll... However if one looks at the word "Ides" it's latin for middle...

Yeah, likely later than that- but with so much ALPHA polish, who knows they may have quicker burn through beta.

I think no one will play a final HoI4 that plays like HoI3 1.0.
I like Paradox, they dont do the same mistakes like in HoI3.

so, give them time and we will get a good game.
Maybe the guys from Paradox read the review after the WWW (in this community) and change something in the game.

the guys at Pdx most certainly do read these forums

That was my point

Been awhile since we chatted, but... had a feeling

Maybe it will come before Half Life 3. MAYBE.

As long as it doesn't get released at september, I'm happy. I hate it when games get released the same date college is back on. I would rather wait for the next winter rather than this autumn. Start of summer would be just GREAT.

I hope it is not Q1 because I saved up cash for HOIV but after it said it was not going to be released on twitter I just spent the money on something else.

Yeah I have a feeling that the beta testers are still testing the game even though it's not in beta yet.

Yeah we got that screenshot accidentally posted here that I mentioned before. It definitely felt like a random forum member who'd been selected rather than a professional tester based on the whoopsie.
