Stellaris before HOI?

[Amightypie]

now that it seems HOI has suffered another delay will it affect the release time for stellaris, by that I mean will it now be aimed to be released before HOI or is it going to be after I know that paradox want to give a few months gap between each game to allow them to do well so I just thought I'd ask about it

Doubt it, sounds like a fairly minor delay of a few weeks at most to me and HOI4 is still far ahead of Stellaris in terms of total development.

 

[Meraun]

i hope it wont delay Stellaris. But i will buy both anyway... i dont mind a gape betweeb them, so i dont have to choose

 

[GeneralPetrov]

My guess is HOI4 Q2, and Stellaris Q4. I doubt Stellaris will get delayed for any reason related to HOI4.

 

[Kuschelflummi]

We will see. I don't think the release date of stellaris will change much. At least it won't come out much sooner. Would be bad for the development team.

If HOI4 by Paradox standards isn't ready then it shouldn't be pushed out before Stellaris because reasons. Not all development cycles are equal.

Besides, hasn't Stellaris been in development since like 2013?

Stellaris and Hoi to my knowledge have both been in development since 2012/13.
HOI was announced first, and had a prospective release date of Q2 2015
It is logical to assume at THAT point Stellaris had a prospective release date of Q2 2016 (Thats where the February leak stuff comes from)
When HOI got pushed back to AROUND Q2 2016 Stellaris could not be released in that spot so got pushed around a bit
With Hoi being seemingly delayed again into Q3 or Q4 I expect Stellaris to take the Q2 2016 slot back and release around March time.

The only way for HoI to affect release date of Stellaris is if they would move Hoi release date to be the same month as Stella. Releasing two major titles in one month is risky thing to do. You know, our money is not infinite
If HoI would take longer to develop, I doubt they would move Stella release date to be after HoI. There's simply no reason to do that.

First of all Feb is in Q1, not Q2. Secondly, and most importantly, though I'm sure there are some internal targets for the dev teams in terms of release dates for HOI and Stellaris, it would be absolutely nonsensical to be shuffling them around the calendar as you suggest this early in the process (late alpha) for commercial reasons. One or both could still hit significant delays, so if for a brief moment it appears they might finish simultaneously they aren't going to slow work on one to let the other get out the gate first.

Of course if that situation persists into late beta and it is obvious the products will be ready at about the same time, there are understandable commercial reasons to delay one release. Until such an eventuality, I'm sure both teams are moving full-steam ahead.

 

[GeneralPetrov]

I just think it is logical that HOI4 will release before Stellaris, based on the fact that while both might be in Alpha, HOI4 is very close to Beta, whereas we haven't heard anything about Stellaris entering Beta. Also note there's been far more info released about HOI4 compared to Stellaris, now we even have a weekly stream of HOI4 on Wednesday.

Overall both are pretty close in development as far as I can tell, but my money's on HOI4 first.

If HOI4 by Paradox standards isn't ready then it shouldn't be pushed out before Stellaris because reasons. Not all development cycles are equal.

Hmm? Where did I say that?

 

[Sabouts]

I mean If they released around the same time, I'm not gonna lie. I'd buy both. But I can see why it's not good on a business standpoint to release them at the same time. I'd imagine Stellaris will be around Q3 to Q4 of this year whiles HOI4 will push around Q2.

FYI guys, Johan has indeed confirmed that HOI4 will probably release first.

Not gonna happen, sorry mate

He said that in October though, is any of this talk about a hoi4 delay true? Might have some effect.

From what I can tell the 'delay' has been massively inflated by people on the forums losing their minds at the mere mention of such a word. Probably just a minor delay from getting into beta of a few weeks.

 

[Haldan]

Let's hope Stellaris comes first. Can't wait and I'm not really into WW2.

 

[Aegrim]

I really want HOI4. But Stellaris however is 9 out of 10 when it comes to my dream game. So i'm super stoked. My literal dream game is Stellaris but the fleet combat takes you into a homeworld like game like some kind of space total war but with tons of polish and depth in the campaign which is what stellaris is mainly aiming for.

 

[Vanhal]

Don't care about HoI4 at all. Gimme Stellaris.

 

[vyshan]

I am pretty sure they are not using the same production team. In either Case if I had to pick a game I want first, it is easily Stellaris. I don't care much for ww2.

 

[ashbery76]

HOI4 seems to have a very troubled development so far.There is a chance Stellaris could be first now.
