Looking forward to finally getting the date. I am already overloaded this fall as it is and I would like to know where to fit Divinity 2 in this year. I just hope that it does not come out in early October or early November. As between Alpha Protocol, Risen, Uncharted 2, Borderlands and Dragon Age, I am just not sure I will be able to find the time.
You have to admit, if it does release in the US this year they are going to be playing with fire from here on in. As if it releases in the middle of the fall horde, it will get absolutely buried. There are A LOT of high profile games hitting in the always packed holiday season....starting in late September with a little game that happens to have HALO in it's title (not that I care for Halo all that much, just saying).
Anyway, not trying to be harsh, as I want this game very much and want to see it do well. Just stating the obvious is all.
I Agree that larian HAVE to release D2 ASAP before its biggest competitors deliver the goods in early october (dragon age and risen as the most obvious candidates in the genre).
Quite honestly for me D2 is THE biggest event of the year, but for a lot of people thats not the case simply because of near non-existing PR in the US for larian games, and its quite pointless to compare EA to anything else in therms of selling figures.
Thank god for youtube, facebook and tweeter or else the divinity "series" would completely go unnoticed in the non-german market.
