ETA on SE5?
 

I know, a gauche and insensitive question, but I checked the FAQ first, and it wasn't in there http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Seriously, what's current status? Is Aaron giving us a rough ship-by date yet? Or is he imitating my heroes at idsoft and just saying, "when it's ready"?

Re: ETA on SE5?
 

The current status is that the game is in development. There is no firm date, as the game has not even neared the beta testing stages yet.

Hmmm, ok.

Thinking back to what I remember of the SEIV development cycle, that sounds like (pulls a number out of his ear) 9 months to a year.

hmmmm

Re: ETA on SE5?
 

The General Rumour flying around is it should be completed and shipping around Summer-Winter 2005.

Thats If i'm remembering this correctly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: ETA on SE5?
 

FYI: The 'Beta' is still targeted for January 2005, How long after that untill the game goes on sale will depend on the speed and quality of great beta bughunt. I would guestimate late summer-fall 2005.

Bahahahahaha!

It's always nice to meet someone with an appreciation of History, even if it is only Art History http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

As I'm sure you know, the story is that ol' Vince chopped off one of his ears and gave it to a "lady of the evening". What a truly unique gift, eh? Alas we have no record of how she received it.

There's actually an old film called "Vincent" that really surprised me. It consists of shots of his paintings, interspersed with current photos/video of the scenes portrayed in those paintings. This while a narrator reads his letters to his brother, who was his sole financial supporter and only confidante.

I know, it sounds incredibly stupid and boring. It's not. I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to see it, then I sat rapt for the whole film. It works far better than it sounds.

Anyways, back to the nominal subject of this thread.

Ahem.

Uhh, so in other words...9 months to a year! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Never say that when there is a Fine Art Student on the forums. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif It's like walking up behind the proverbial lion and kicking it in it's behind.

Of Course if the Proverbial Lion was an Art Student it would probably sleep through it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
