i read the simhq interview as giving a likely late 2009 release date, 90% of the game is done and they are now working on the dynamic campaign and other issues

you might want to do a cooking class in the next few months, we'll be expecting you to use a webcam during your meal

How the hell do you get a late 2009 release date from that interview, I admire your contorted optimism but even Oleg indicates in the interview that it will be released in late 2010 and his indications are flaky at best!!

thanks guod for the interview ...im sure you did your best.

as for what we got...1 new pic of a fort and a couple of pics of some men that are from another game...yes he said this and that about what we might, could or will get.
as for SOW we are at LEAST a year away i think.

dissapointed with oleg but cheers guod.

You should really learn to read the things you quote, Tree.

He wrote:

Oleg: Yes, it is our general plan. Maybe it will arrive earlier. I can't say right now the exact date. But by October 2010 (if not before) Storm of War: Battle of Britain should have many thousands of users.

That does not mean it will be released in October2010, but that the aim is to have sold many thousand copies until then or even earlier.

Now, if SoW will make it for a 2009-release, that is a totally different question!


@ Bobb4

"The main content is ready now. 10% of the content — such as the ships and some of the ground objects on the airfields — are all that is left to be done"

Add to that his claim that 80% is done - means the engine is 10% from complete

Yes, the same way as a flyable 109 and a 190 make up for 299 flyables.

Well the last time Oleg indicated to us a release date he said September 2009, This time he said its by October 2010 and Maybe before, i repeat how any one can get a 2009 release date from that is insane. It must be a language thing but for me October is late 2010. No need to re-read what i quoted.

Oh dear, you and Feurefalke have memories like goldfish, yet your so quick to jump on people, ok let me help you boys a little.

Remember this, systems specs in May, late summer release 2009.

Olegs response when asked if he had talked to the guy was this,

"Yes, he was spoken to me. However I told that it is my hope, if everything will going Ok without any serious development technical problems"

and finally Oleg posts this on the 31/12/2008,


Hi!

Happy New Year!

And personally for me I wish myself to finish BoB in new Year!



Almost finished:

He was a little optimistic with the almost finished bit.

....and Feurefalke i am not angry or disappointed i am just being realistic.


Note, i will be accepting your apologies either in forum or by pm.

Interesting that he has recruited people from the Il-2 modding community to work on SoW. They'll probably get stuck with that SaSqN fellow as their project manager. Just to punish them.
