September release- not likely?

Look to October for a release.

SE:V has been featured a lot in SFI's recent newsletters and there was some activity in the last couple of weeks with various interviews/screenshots...

...Sept. 12? Perhaps. It's hard to say with Aaron - he's unpredictable at times.

Remember, SFI is a real 'stock-holder' controlled corporation. There will be huge pressure to meet the deadline regardless of the condition of the game. The quarterly earnings statements drive everything else. If they have publicly committed to a September release I'd bet on it occuring. But I would definitely not bet on the quality of the game that gets released.

What Baron stated above, "real presure to meet the deadline regardless of the condition of the game" is a real possiblity. Too many highly anticipated games, MOO3 for one, were forced into early release and paid a horrible price. They shoot themselves in the foot when they force a game that is not ready for release into release. It killed the TRIBES franchise, MOO franchise, and lord know how many other games were rushed to an early death that if they had been left alone to be properly developed, would have been successful and highly profitable.
