OH OH
Wonder why they have it running in 640*480 in such a top of the line machine ?

Neither does the quote by Wayward that it will run "At a playble framerate on a P200."

After JF-18 (took 900mhz/310mb Ram to get where I wanted it) a sim that takes a 1000mhz machine with a top line vid card to get good preformance at 640X480 scares the crap out of me.

They sure did not show it at 640X480 unless the very well were forced to, because they knew it would be all over the message boards.

If you then add in an entire flight of bombers, escort aircraft, and a sky full of attacking planes with realistic tracer fire, that 200MHZ "playable" system will slow down to a slideshow.

Now, as far as them being 90% complete with a little over three weeks to release date, I think they are fooling themselves. It's not going to happen. I've yet to see in my entire lifetime a developer finish up a title in only 3 weeks when they haven't even hit Beta testing. Something definately wrong here.

For this game to make a September release, it needs to go Gold within the next week to 10 days max.

You guys are right about the release date being to ambitious. I havn't heard any beta release blah blah. If it is 90% complete as of this post, i personally would just sit back, let people get the game first, and let the reviews come in before i get this game. I was fooled once by Gunship. Not gonna be fooled again. It was a good, game, but unfinished in my own opinion. Here's hopin though.

I understand it is being optimised at the mo (comment from Wayward at ECTS) and the mentioned date of end September is most probably the targeted gold date with a release early/mid October.

This is all only my opinion gleaned from reading a lot of posts, press comments from the launch and comments now coming back from ECTS.

And it meant the END of that month, not the beginning.

Cheers,

Can we count that as an "official" release date?

"The game is still worlds away in terms of completion"

Yikes!! I'm rather concerned about this comment since Wayward claims the game will be released in October. If it's "worlds away from completion" what kind of a product are they expecting to ship in October?

but to prepetuate the conspiracy theory. Hasbro/Wayward made official announcements of things at events that are far away, and that not too many people from the forums have been to. Maybe, Ian is a imaginary figure, who actually is a hasbro rat, who is trying to make people belive that this game is real. He also logs in as the occassional person who says they've been to these marvelous events. Maybe, Ian actually is a martian.

Better yet, he abducted people in a flying machine and brought them to the moon made of cheese.

Frankly people, the world isn't a conspiracy. There is no man behind the curtain, no arch villian. Hasbro did cut MP, and probably won't patch it. Maybe, some diehard fans will make a patch, or a B17-IIa version, like they are doing to Homeworld (ie: Catacylsm).

Buy it or not, the game will come out, with some bugs, with some problems and probably some addiction.

If I can't i'll overclock it to the limit, and beyond!!!!

Man, It has to run, I've waited so long and now it won't work, no way that is gone hapen.
