I'm hoping it comes out. I really do.... I'd also like some kind of update, nothing special. It's been a month of silence so I'd like to just hear that the project is still moving along.
Hearts of Iron IV release date ***Still Pending / Unknown***

Oh ok, then its fine! I just get worried. What happened to East Vs. West just kinda made me draw some depressing conclusions.
I am so excited, i hope they give us an update soon, anything would be nice. but I have confidence in Paradox
They seem to at least have met some unforseen problems, that prevent them from publishing the game. I find it extremely annoying not to know what it is, but that's just me... I mean, no company developes a game and then postpones release for two years for "polishing reasons". I just hope they get it right in time.... and then begin working on Vicky 3

If they go on like this, they'll release hoi 5 before hoi 4...

Paradox don't do Q4 releases as far as I know and Johan said they hoped to reach beta around Christmas. Late Q1 is possible but most likely a Q2 release.

damn electricty went out for two minute I missed the release date. Did they announce one?
It's going to be months before they even announce a generalized release date. And more months before they announce a specific release date. And more months before they release the game. So, I'm sure that a two-minute break in communications isn't a cause for concern. Find another game to play for the next 8 or 9 months.

What bothered me more than pushing out the tentative release date by 6-9 months (from now), was the total sheepish lack of any enthusiasm, and the buzz-speak about "streamlining the game" and "shouldn't have to have a PhD to play", etc. -- sounds like they need to trim down and dumb down the game to get it to work, or like the scope is beyond both their skills and commitment. If true, that's really sad... Did I misread this? (Please tell me I'm wrong).

You are wrong. They aren't dumbing down anything (Well, some people would call removing the OOB dumbing down the game, I suppose), they are just giving HoI4 a much better UI than the other HoI titles. A UI that informs you better and easier, without having information all over the place. They are just trying to make the game more accesible, without dumbing it down.

Well, removing the OOB would qualify as a lobotomy, in relative terms, IMHO. If I want generic forces to match the generic silly sprites (I use counters), I'll load up Panzer General...
>> What else are they "streamlining"? Looked in the trailer shown like they were "packaging" diplomatic approaches into either/or tree'd paths as well... Anything else?
I do welcome a better UI, to be sure -- being able to see terrain and weather and even supply without flipping among displays, for example, would be great...

Diplomatic wise you can do what you want. The National Foci are just.. well, focuses for your nation, so new players have goals infront of them in case they can't make one themselve yet. It also opens up routes for alternative history.
