Release changed?
 

US ubi site changed DL march release to "spring 2011"

Whats that??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

It's the period immediately following Winter but preceding Summer. It is characterised by windy, changeable weather and the upshooting of various fauna.

yeah yeah :grin:... you got the message.

:D Don't panic though, I'm sure we'll all get it soon. If it is delayed well, they're only making it greater.

yep, saw it earlier today... knew March 22 was too good to be true. :rolleyes:

Just looked today and yeah it stinks. Sure was looking forward to it. Even schedualed March 22 and 23 off....:confused::evil::evil:

After all the trouble I got through just to get my hotas delivered,this happens.If it is delayed this is a sad day:(

Doesn't Spring start on March 20th? I think March 23rd falls under that time-frame.

Well yes, but it extends to may correct me if Im wrong.

yes, but when you go from an acutal date to a seasonal estimation, that usually mean something has changed...

this could be pushed back at least a month, I wouldnt be surprised at all.

it's not really a first in game development, is it? Let's all just appreciate it is coming.

I dont think you'll be able to find anyone here that doesnt 'appreciate' thats its coming.... we've been 'appreciating' it for about 6 years now. :rolleyes:

Sorry for the bad news, but the Spring extends into June.

Well yes, Biggs, I'm sure I'd fall into that category too. Perhaps after those six years I'm simply not prepared to xxxx myself over another few weeks. :)

That means it could be delayed up to 3 months.

Still not shitting myself.

Spring in the Southern Hemisphere goes till November :D

Almost made the same mistake and scheduled my vaction around release. Thought about it and decide to wait just in case. I'd be a pissed off camper with time off and no one to shoot............... down.

pretty sure no one else is either... im not quite sure what youre trying to insinuate.

"Pre-Order

Releases: 24/03/2011"

It stayed the same for me now that I checked.

Biggs, sorry - not trying to insinuate anything at all! Probably too used to people trying to insinuate that delay = fundamental problems, as opposed to normal everyday problems.

Weird, when I go to ubisoft, under UK it list it as 25-3-2011. Under United States it no longer list the game..........Humm.....Glad I ordered it when I did.

Look Oleg, you've got mail!

LOL Brother ;)

Deja vu

We must not lose our sense of humor after all...

S!

Gunny

Hey Gunny!!

Just hoped Oleg's team might have a laugh and feel better and just muffin finally release it :lol:

S bro!

Well I pre ordered yesterday , i didnt look at the recipt till now. It says available 22/8/2011

Not happy!

I was hoping March as well just be getting out of the hot weather and I can over clock my machine again without risking a 'China Syndrome' event under my computing desk.

Running on stock speeds make you feel, well, inadequate!

Still would be nice to hear something official and not have to guess.

LOL

I love cynical jokes.

i don't know the norwegian part of Ubishop just sucks or something, but it it still says "UTGIVELSESDATO: 24.03.2011"
utgivelsesdato = releasedate

...

omg, please don't delay it.

I for my part would be pissed if they delay simply because of the fact that Ubi takes the complete money for the preorder. Thats only OK if they keep the promised releasedate. Otherwise its SCAMMING people for their money.

Winger

I think there are a lot of people here that want the product so badly they'll even forgive and compromise if there are a few major bugs and some important features left out, me too. Newcomers will not, and I remember clearly how a few brilliant games went down the drain due to publishers releasing prematurely. The IL-2 series are among the most stable pieces of software I have ever encountered in 28 years, so whatever the reason, if it's delayed, it's delayed for a good reason.

My account was not debited by Ubi after I preordered.
They state that debit will occur at the date of shipping.
Paid by card
Is that different in your country?

I used paypal as paymentmethod. It got charged the moment i ordered.

Winger

EDIT: In germany the shown releasedate didnt change btw.

One gets the impression that Ubi made the March announcement without properly consulting Maddox Games anyway. Oleg didn't seem to endorse it at all.

Ubisoft Finland still has the March, 24 2011 release date. Let's hope and plug and pray:)

I really think that everyone should relax - it could just be a website cock-up...and as others have said March 24/25 IS Spring, so nothing may have changed beyond some web admin choosing a different form of words.

On one hand, we complain about the missing features, on the other one we complain about the possibility of release getting pushed back probably to implement said features.

Is it just me or does it look like it's a case of either one or the other? ;)

This reminds me of a short comic strip i once saw in Mad magazine. There's Darth Vader consulting with his imperial officers on the spaceship shipyard docks where the Death Star is being built and one officer goes:
"Lord Vader, to finish the Death Star within the specified deadlines would require the entire population of the empire, from prisoners to the emperor himself, to work 28 hours per each standard 24 hour day"

To which Darth responds "Make it happen... i'm a sadist, not a mathematician" :-P

The game will be released when Oleg is satisfied that the compromises don't conflict with Oleg's uncompromising attitude towards quality. Now perhaps we should compromise our incomprehensible impatience with a bit of reason, and cut him some bloody slack.

OR Else:evil:.....GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR , :rolleyes:

Then why was the press release made an hour in advance here compared to Ubi annoncement?

Ubi & 1C obviously agreed on the press release...

Shouldn't Oleg be out of money since autumn?

Reason; that's where.........aw, never mind.

By my figures, yes. But what's a little money to stop Oleg from putting out a superior product?

Oleg Maddox, master of understatement makes even the most pessimistic whiners cream in their pants once they play the release version. Mark my words.

It will be a bummer if the delay is true, however look at the bright side. You can save more money to buy a better video card than what you were planning :eek:

Oh please , do your butt kissing somewhere else.

So where did this rumor originate from, are people seriously looking at all sorts of random webpages and making assumptions?
The ubishop page here still states March 24th as the release date, however i'd take any date with a grain of salt until we hear an official word.

What's so unofficial with a date directly from the publisher?

Let me rephrase, I'd take any new date with a grain of salt until we hear something official.
Obviously every second website including Ubi's own is stating different dates at this time.

Im in europe,so why does it still say 25 of march?if it is delayed that is a load of xxxx

Its from the US ubi website, it used to say 3/22/2011... Now its just 'Spring 2011'...

US amazon website still says March 22 2011. But Since ubi is the publisher, I'd take their word over anyone else.

All we would need is luthier or Oleg giving a short comment. Oh well... maybe tomorrow....

And strangely enough, on the amazon.de website it now says:

"Dieser Artikel wird am 3. März 2011 erscheinen."
meaning: This article will be released on march 3rd 2011.

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B004...pf_rd_i=301128

Is that good news or just an error?:confused:

You are all getting HYSTERICAL!!!!!!

Calm down, for Chrissake!





Edit: actually, some of you aren't...good on you

Don't forget, we could have a case where the game releases digitally in some parts of the world where UBI is not the publisher.. So I'd no put too much into UBI change of dates. I saw something bout 1C publishing digital version and UBI the box/shelf version.. somewhere.. in some thread around here.. I think.. ? :)

Its fine with me, I got time to collect my money and buy new hardware.

p.s. calm down guys, maybe they are fixing STAR WARS tracers!

I had the exact same thought. They really are damned if they do, damned if they don't...

There's no doubt in my mind that the sim community contains some of the whiniest, most pedantic, most self-righteous malcontents to be found anywhere on the internet.

speak for yourself there sir.

As far as i can see, no one here is complaining or getting hysterical. Its pretty much just a thread thats showing conflicting release dates (and the odd poster that has completely misunderstood the thread Altogether)

this isnt a 'fix this or that for me 1c' thread so stop acting like it is.

Never been on a firearms related forum have you?

Flight sim forums are kindergarten by comparison.

This thread is going downhill fast

New date April 1???

We'll we'll probably find out what's going on tomorrow in the update discussion. "Hold on to your nerves men...steady men" ;)

Are the update discussions live? or they just post the script afterwards.

I'm the only person I ever speak for. I see people whining on these forums and others all the time (inadequate updates, missing/delayed features, release dates, etc.). I guarantee there will be whining if CoD is delayed, if it comes to that. It never ends. Heck, I'm whining about the whiners right now. There are several here that genuinely seem to think they're owed something.

That's actually where I spend most of my time. You've got bad elements anywhere you go, but I stand by my statement. Of course, that's not to say that the flight sim community doesn't also offer some of the best of what's to offer.

Luthier ...Ilya Shevchenko answers as many questions as he can or the ones he feels are important I guess. When he sees that some of us are in a twist about this release confusion I'm pretty sure we'll get some answers

My birthday is in May. I never really expected it to be released before that anyway.
I'll put that expectation forward to June/July now.

March 27 so it would be super if the release date held

+1

LOL,,,,,:grin:

Neptune enters Pisces on 5th April whilst Uranus enters Aries on 13 March with a wide square to Pluto.

Combine this with the lunar eclipse on June 1 at 11 deg. Gemini and you have all the signs for an auspicious release some time between March and June 2011.

Hmm eagle - "Eagle Day"..... "Adler Tag". It must be March

*update*
amazon says April 19 now

http://www.amazon.com/-2-Sturmovik-C...7988953&sr=8-2

for those still wondering, it looks like the delay is for realz now.

If it is, then I just hope they announce the release date officially.Not knowing is worse than waiting.

Oz still has March 23 though... or at least yesterday, it was. :confused:

Amazon is notorious for blindly guessing at release dates. Seriously, that date means absolutely nothing at all.

You'd think Ubi's site would carry a little more authority, but if they can't even be bothered to have the same date in different regions...

At the moment, it's all just reading tea leaves.

Maybe they don't have the same date in all regions because they will be doing a staggered release? For example, March 25th for Europe and CIS states and 10 days later for the other regions?

Just a thought/possibility which has happened with other titles in the past.

Amazon says Mar 3 :) ;)


http://www.amazon.de/2-Sturmovik-Cli...8015284&sr=8-1

How about leaving the website dates alone and wait for official word ?
Their obviously split, heck even ubis pages tell different depending on which language you view their page in, this is so pathetic and ridiclous.

The dates are different because of the Metric system I think , a day being longer in metric then imperial , so the dates get stretched out more.

lol

Staggered release...
Its a UBI thing.

Well lets hope they do the 'politically correct" thing and start at the "bottom" of the world first!

Surely everyone saw this coming, we're still recieving screens 99% of the time and the offical website for the game is really bare at the moment, no confirmed artwork, it just never looked ready for march to be honest, and if it is ready its being left very late to advertise and so on. Although I guess we should remember the IL2 series does advertise itself.

I'd say that's a good assessment.

If you have a look at the Collectors Edition goodies on the UBI shop images, it looks like the production box images etc. are there. Maybe they were just pulling our wibblies with the samples that were 'leaked' (no spinner, other inaccuracies etc) ;)

I can appreciate how long we've all been waiting and the desire to get the product ASAP! What we don't need is any more conspiracy theories throwing the more sensitive of us further into the pit of despair...

Like.....

It's official - because of production issues, some of the Collectors editions will be incomplete with the missing items being forwarded on the following month, where available....

Shall I set it up as a thread? :rolleyes: You know someone's going raise it as a next potential issue sooner or later. :grin:

Badger

I'm sorry but there's no way its gonna be shipped on the 3rd. .. that have to mean the game has already gone gold, as it takes a while to produce the dvds packaging etc etc.

I would not trust that amazon.de site at all.

Yes, and going by that there is no way its gonna be released march 23rd either.

Sadly.


Hope im wrong though.

If the date has been pushed back I look at it as a good sign. Oleg has no problems shipping a program with less feratures enabled. He has a problem with pushing an unfinished, buggy product out the door. I waited 5 years for this, a few months more is not going to brake the camels back.

Everyone of you get on the update post and ask..."Oleg or Luthier. Excellent screenshots. Has the release date been changed?"

I've just learned a new word to describe the idee behind posts like this : tree-ism :-D :-D

I like it, it means being right 90% of the time. :grin:

:-D

If they delay it, I expect the new weather to work perfectly.

No one has showed up today to answer questions. One person's made fun of me for asking about the release date. GRRR!

Something I haven't seen until today. UBISOFT in the states is now April 19th

http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubina/en_C...-of-Dover.html

Amazon.com says the same.

In the grand scheme of things a 1-month delay isn't going to lessen my desire for this game.

the link takes me to the main page.. when i navigate to the CoD page it still says 'spring 2011'.

but april19 is what amazon states as well so that might be it... for now.
