I don't work in the industry, but most Blizzard games in the past usually take 3-4 weeks after going gold to being released in stores. | ||

Hey Skyze, you don't need to call for a ban when someone makes a thread. If you don't like it, discuss, don't just call bullshit and ban at the drop of a hat. I can't imagine this game out before the end of the year. I think the scope of the game and infrastructure needed is exponentially greater than they originally imagined. | ||

Now<--------------Very Soon--------Soon--------------->End of Time anywho this is unsubstantiated and the amount of bad threads lately might ruffle some feathers, but you do not need to call for the ban hammer unless he did something obscenely stupid, and even then it is simply a better idea to pm a mod and ask that such and such user's posts be reviewed, and let them handle the situation. It is preferable to release it pre-Christmas for obvious reasons, but blizzard will "release it when it's ready" so at least look forward to the beta release sometime in the next moth or two. | ||

Activision, based in Santa Monica, Calif., now plans to release "Singularity" in the first calendar quarter next year, instead of September. Activision's reason is that it doesn't want to provide any unnecessary competition for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," the highly anticipated Activision game available at around the same time that "Singularity" was to be released. Separately, Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia sees Activision delaying the release of "Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty," due in October and expected to sell around three million copies. The launch of an early version of the game was delayed, making it "increasingly appear" the general release date also will get pushed back to 2010, Bhatia said. An Activision spokesman had no comment on any potential delay of "Starcraft." The cumulative effect of the "Singularity" delay and a rumored pushback of "Starcraft" may be a positive for Activision, even though it could be removing two potential top-selling games from its all-important holiday shopping-season slate, analysts said. Whatever Activision may lose by not selling "Singularity" in September will be more than made up for by sales of "Call of Duty" and Activision's "Prototype" game, which was released June 9 and is tracking better than expected, analysts said.

Gotta say I saw this coming. The game is just a mess right now and the fundamentals just aren't there yet. The models aren't up to par, the balance is way off, the beta is said to be 4-6 months long and it hasn't even started -- and there are no signs of it starting any time in the near future. Obviously Activision Blizzard isn't going to announce the delay as that would piss off shareholders and ruin their quarter. So it looks like we have a lot of waiting to do. LOL WTF? Your post has no relation to the article whatsoever. They are making purely business speculations and you start talking about the game not being polished enough. Blizzard won't need to delay the game, it will most likely be out holidays 2009. That's the best time for them to release it. | ||

They'll ship the game while the beta is still running so there won't be much time between end of beta and the start of release. There will be a few days to wipe the databases, restart everything, etc. to make sure the launch goes smoothly, but that's it. | ||

Sorry, but i agree completely to Skyze This I blanked is bullshit You are talking of a game that is not even in beta yet Its a mess? Obviously, Why do you think its not in beta yet? And its better than a lot of games out there. The models arent up to par? You gotta be kidding, just few things need to be really improved Balance way off? GEE, ITS A GAME NOT EVEN IN BETA YET, PPL JUST DONT GET TIRED? It would be a much better OP if you had not write that nonsense. Thats a good news (although i dont believe in it). | ||
