Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis GamesCom

Well, I think it is safe to say that this game is not going to be out in the US in September. There is just no way, we would know something by now. There is only a week left in this month and as we all know, things like this take time and we do not even know if they have inked a deal with a publisher yet.

Hell, I would be suprised to see it this year period, as I know that Larian does not want to drop it right in the middle of the holiday horde. It would be suicide for this game. What's worse, is Q1 for next year is packed as well with the likes of Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, God of War 3, Splinter Cell Conviction, Darksiders, Dante's Inferno, ect. So, it will not be getting any easier any time soon.

This game is officially now on my backburner. Just too many other games that will be releasing that I have more interest in. Whenever this one does finally make it to the US, I will be waiting, but I am not about to get my hopes up because I am seriously doubting it will be any time soon at this point. However, I do hope I am wrong, but I sadly do not think I am.

Releasing a game in germany so soon comparing to the other places in the world was (imho) a bad move, i just dont know how badly larian needed the financial help, but was a bad move nevertheless.

2) They were planning on announcing a publisher at GamesCon, the fact that they didn't, means negotiations didn't go as smootly as hoped and there is no international publisher yet.

Yeah.
It was all out speculation.

I wouldn't say promulgated.
Personally, I would say I had a major part in this speculation.

There were so many signs though.
Like Email from Claas who said soon to which could have been GamesCom as buisness wise would be the best decision.
Plus on Facebook somebody who has access to the Divinity 2 FB said more details @GamesCom.

From now I'll be taking a back seat.

That is all

seriously, what's so strange about an european development team releasing their game on europe's largest and most important pc games market first? i would have prefered an international release too, but i see their reasons for releasing it in ger first.

to everyone crying they won't play Divinity II because there are so many other games coming out in the near future: get over it. the longer it's gonna take them to release the english version, the more polished it will be.

if you wanna play it now, then i'd suggest getting the ger version, it's that easy. i remember, some time ago, when i was still playing console games, i found it very hard to wait for the english releases of all these cool games which were already available in japan at the time beeing. you know what? i decided to learn japanese. it's not like games were the only reason to learn the language but i think you get the point. so plz stop crying about other countries getting stuff first and accept it. either learn the language or find a way around the language barriers.

Basicaly, a guy is driven by the hype and wants to buy, he can't, he gets it pirated, he plays, the hype phenomena stops, he ends the game, the game is released near him, he is playing other games already, no revenue.

All goes around the "hype" imho.

And when i say "its a bad move", i'm saying for larian, not for me. I'm not crying about anything and i'll buy the game even if its in 2010, but then again, i'm a big fan of larian.
