Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General Release Date Changed

Thats right, i am still finishing 'Call of Duty' and 'Baldurs Gate II'

With me it's usually "Do what I mean, not what I say." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I pmed you this yesturday!

It was never November. The game has always been scheduled for 2004 as far as I know. The only time Christmas was mentioned, or maybe even late November was in relation to the demo, not the game.

nope. there was a press release on the voting web site that said it came out in late november. then it was decided that was the demo. then it was dfecided chirsmtas the demo. then it was decided late january demo, now its early february or march for demo.

Can you show me the link to that? I don't recall an official press release with that date in it.

sorry, I just checked and they've updateed it to March 5th now.


I could swear it said that though. Jurak told me a while ago.

Lynn confirmed at the time that tothegames had just guessed on the date. The late 2003 time frame was a maybe/possible reference from a post much earlier, that Lar specifically said not to quote him on.

Please don't ban me

give me a reason!






thanks for the clearing that all up Raze, seems like we will just wait, and it wont come out now.


BTW, MORBO! damn you for getting it earlier!

but how do you know its not a worldwide at march or whatever?

I don't. Its mor likly that they just didn't updated the site yet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />. But a man can have hope. Can he?

not now, in these dark times.

oh, what the hell, yeah!

This is enough of a reason to wait. All tho I must say I did not experience even a small fraction of the bugs in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> that most people did.

Most probably, the engine is working, the graphics is finished, the music is almost finished and the interface is tested with features locked to a final form.

What remains is the voice-acting waiting for the story writing to be finished such that it makes sense with the game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Technically, it is easier to fit the voices to the animations than to fit the animations to the voices, and if the script has too many words or too few words then it can be written to mach the time window.

The box-art is finished, and the programmers are stuck with random battlefield generation to make things fit perfectly every time.

I can imagine Lar running all the time from the programming rift to the sound rift to the graphics rift while being soul-forged to the Time-limit-Death-Night fighting all the bugs that inhabit those rifts while occasionally being flooded (literally) now and then.

Now, can you guess who the real-life rift-runner is? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

youch.


you got, another, point there Dad.

Lar, get some friggen sleep!!!




otherwise all the scripts you write may have problems, imagine the hero's voice.

I'm carying to, much *yawn* stuff, I need to *snore* drop *snore* some supplies *zhhhhh*

O well, Delay's usually mean game Improvment's and that means that we all benefit.. I can wait<<>> NOT~~ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Well digital jesters also confirmed the date is pushed a couple of weeks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

But I did find out Lar is a poker player (at least I think it could also mean he has a good pokerface. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />)

hmm.

whats that got to do with anything?


hey, maybe Larian can have a poker turnament!

Congratulations Morbo, you are a very good spy !
