MOO3 finished!
 

Thought this would be something everyone in here would like to know, even if it's not directly SE4 related . . .

Masters of Orion 3 has gone gold (released to manufacturers to produce copies of the finished product, wrap it up and ship it to stores)!

More info here: Yahoo Press Release and of course on the MOO3 official homepage.

Maybe I should put a warning so noone has a heart attack from playing MOO3 and SE4 at the same time... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: MOO3 finished!
 

The moo3 homepage goes nowhere but to the Gone Gold image, which only has a Buy link. What kind of practice is that? They have disabled the rest of the site! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Click the buy link then you can browse the rest of the site.

Agreed, that's pretty screwy.

Good luck with the game guys. I hope it delivers on it's promise and that it was worth the wait.

I thought I'd be playing Starfury before this... I was just at the MOO3 forums a few hours ago (and almost got myself Banned, IIRC)... MOO3 here I come!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Now if I only had some money... Mom, I know it's not October yet, but can I have my birthday present early? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

that antaran wearing gold is just a bit... freaky, though... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

hey, I used up my quota of 8 smileys per post exactly! :insert smiley here I ran out: crud!

Re: MOO3 finished!
 

Hmm, I'll have to buy it when I get some cash. (Couple weeks I get a nice check coming to me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

But I have never played any of the MOO games so I have no idea what to expect. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: MOO3 finished!
 

I wouldn't buy it for at least a few months... Think of every other major game release you can recall. Were any of them successful immediately or were there a jillion bugs that had to be corrected before the majority of people could play the game and enjoy it? When you buy the first release of anything you are a beta tester. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Look at the "OT: Do Not Buy Warning" thread just posted here to day about SimCity 4. I bet there will be a similar thread about MOO 3 next month. Summer is likely to be the earliest that a 'non-beta' MOO 3 is available.

Re: MOO3 finished!
 

I agree baron. i also am waiting for player comments (not rag-mag reviews). With no demo, and all the delays, I choose to be cautious in this one. I try to not spend 50 bucks to beta-test a game. If they want me to beta test their game, then....well, you know (avoids rant).

Re: MOO3 finished!
 

as to the rag mag reviews, get PC Gamer
they are hard core gamers, and from my experience, they give a very fair and true game critique
