Is 2018 release promise abandoned?

[rrohde]

People get hyped way too easily - especially when it comes to computer games / sims .. patience is a virtue.

 

Patience comes with age. Not everyone here has reached that phase in life yet. ;)

nice to see HB taking their time to release a quality product from day-1 instead of playing the early access charade like some other devs. if it needs to be delayed then so be it

[T_A]

uhm you could have made your big reaveal when the product was done instead of Some month early...

then you could have placed it right on the shelf without any worry about "crap".

 

What is this toxicity about? Ever heard of marketing? What exactly is your problem other then wanting it so badly like the rest of us?

 

I'm sure he knew those options. Thanks for the useless post.

 

 

 

this is why i barely go on this forum anymore , instant fanboyism at any legitimate criticism.

as if the devs are infallible and any other opinion is blaspheme

[MrDieing]

legitimate criticism.

 

 

The day that I see legitimate criticism that invole correct arguments without emotions and/or opinions based on their current feelings rather then facts is yet to come when it comes to new modules/release dates.

[Kayos]

I'm thinking they will release it in November. I doubt they want to make us wait too long with all their broken promises. It's already a year late.

[Eldur]

They don't want to crunch on holidays, so it's safe to assume we'll have the module by xmas unless ultimate hell breaks loose on them. So I'd even expect they've planned a release much earlier like early Nov or maybe even end of Oct, so they're still safe and sound if they need more time for something to be good enough for a release if it still needs some work. And after all, they can fix stuff in early access period as well

[MiG21bisFishbedL]

We're leaving it ambiguous so as to not wade into a gigantic mountain of crap if something bad happens.

 

The target is this year. I prefer to not crunch over christmas (again).

 

Still got ten fingers?

Nero.ger expressed their opinion, which happens to be no less valid than yours. And quite frankly, while the reveal was beautiful, it made no sense to me either.

This is a loop discussion because of course then you can criticize the critique

itself or should it stay free of not being questioned you mean?

No, I'm saying that IMO MrDieing is no less guilty of voicing an opinion based on feelings rather than facts than Nero.ger, so is therefore in no position to criticise.

Is this really going anywhere? I think we should just leave it to the topic.

[kurtz667]

WOW, a childhoods dream coming true :) i think i watched the video like 10 times.

I'm sorry if this is already explained somewhere else but will the pre-order version be cheaper then the release version?

 

 

edit: Never mind, im blind :)

Yep.

 

Slightly more clogged up arteries though (probably)

Also my point about not crunching for christmas is not a promise either FWIW - take it just as a personal wish for both the sake of our team's sanity and business performance.

Running a business like this is a loooot of stress - and avoiding as much of it is as possible is becoming increasingly important to me, but quality will come first - so if that means less eggnog and more gollum coffee frenzy, so be it.

 

We're targeting December. We're guaranteeing Winter. Set your expectations accordingly.

A great response! Many of us here either run our own businesses or work very stressful jobs so we completely understand. I also understand that sometimes you have to put yourself under the pump to meet expectations and deadlines. Either way I’m sure you know what is best for both your employees and your paying customers. I’m sure you’re looking forward to lifting the weight that is the Tomcat off your chest!

and with that buddy, I'm pulling the trigger. I'll be a proud "Turkey" owner! ;):thumbup:

Just spent my money on hurricane supplies, so I'll have to wait to get the beautiful tomcat, but I most certainly will have it.

 

 

 

All of my other modules will have to be satisfied staying in museum quality, collecting dust in my virtual hangar. Haha.

hang tight bro! I hope all is well for you. I see Michael bearing down. :(

 

 

agreed, once I have the tomcat, I plan to fly the "stuff" out of it! :thumbup:

[Char0093]

Guys... Don't Panic just Yet. They said "This Winter"...

 

 

[TonyG]

And the first crash was December 30st. ;)

 

Some how I think the first crash of the virtual F-14 will happen a lot quicker than 9 days after release.

Lol I'm betting 9 seconds... And I'm going to say its going to be the result of somebody trying to launch off a carrier with the wings swept:lol:

[RaceFuel85]

Just let them finish the module at their best pace that maximizes a balance of speed and quality, folks.

 

The world will not end if you don't get the Tomcat in your sweaty virtual hands by New Years Eve.

[BottledViolence]

I'm not going to be crying if I'm "stuck" spending Christmas vacation flying the F/A-18, or Warthog, or P-51, or Sabre, or...

 

I'd rather have it working later rather than rushed and unplayable due to unforeseen issues.
