anyone from Shrapnel...? - Page 3

that actually does make sense if they were indeed waiting for the manual to be done and finished for the demo....release them both together? sounds good...

Whatever the reason, I was more concerned with the full Version shipping date than anything else, but the demo sorta falls into that too.

Thanks Psitticine (handfull of typing there)

It wasnt personal cpbeller. But I guess asking about the demo's release date for the 15th time won't help the devs at all. That was my only point.

Actually I agree with Mortifer.
It is totally pointless to ask about the release date of the demo all day.
It must be very annoying for IW & Shrapnel.

Look guys I don't know what to tell you. As soon as the demo is through test, and we announce Gold, the demo will be coming otu shortly afterwords.

And your right asking about it every day isn't going to make it happen any quicker. It isn't being delayed because it is buggy or because we want to punish anyone. There is a process all of this must go through, and it can't happen any quicker. As soon as we have the demo ready to go we will let everyone know.

Now I'm thoroughly confused! On the one hand the game has gone gold, and on the other it hasn't? Or just hasn't been announced? (why wouldn't you announce that?)

I guess the message is to lay off and stop asking - so I'll do that (although for the record I haven't been asking 'every day' by any means). I'm a little disappointed to not know anything specific, but fair enough.

Too late to edit, but I just wanted to add this: I am honestly sorry if I've contributed to the frustration levels of people at Shrapnel. I understand that it is really annoying to get asked the same question over and over, and I don't want to be 'one of those people'. On the other hand, I really don't think I actually did that. But either way, I will try to wait patiently from here on out

well, could today be the day?????

Probably not....

MythicalMino · #28 October 22nd, 2003, 01:33 AM

ok....sorry....

I wasn't trying to "frustrate" anyone....

I was just wanting some info on the release date of the full retail Version, and the demo was only really in reference to that....as far as a schedule goes.

I won't ask any more questions concerning it....once I have it, I have it

Doh, I thought that the demo will be out around oct. 15 at least, and now it is oct. 21 today!

I can't speak for Richard or anybody else, obviously, but I'd be surprised if anybody is frustrated or annoyed. I think he's just trying to express the fact that the demo will be ready as soon as it can be.

I think it is certainly not a rude thing to inquire about things that seem confusing, contradictory, or concerning, especially when one does so in a polite way, which everybody definitely has.

Just my 2� there . . .
