Oleg Maddox's Room #1

My friend is a senior buyer at a big gaming store in the UK called 'Game', he was invited to a Gaming Convention and had a meetings with several folk from Ubisoft, he asked them about Storm Of War and how it was coming along, he said they just looked at him blankly as none of them had ever heard of it!!

It's not about people freaking out, its just Oleg announced that 4.09 was on hold until a major milestone was achieved in SOW.
Since then we here nothing which is no surprise.
But E3 is where the latest to be released, near to be released and top products are advertised to the industry.
The fact the SOW did not even feature in the Ubisoft presentation means one has to have serious doubts they are still the publisher.
Or if they are, they definately are not prepared to put their name on it just yet.
That brings us back to when and if the product will be released.
If Ubisoft say nothing and they are the publisher then it definately will not be coming out this year or early next year or they would have punted the game to retailers and fundi's at E3 for the free press and marketing.
If they are not the publishers then we have to ask, now what?

If SOW is still over a year away then for crying-out loud finish off 4.09.
Some of us are not so young, hell the way this product is extending it's release date I expect my grandchildren to be playing it

Some news, any news would be better than development shots or pictures of planes, no matter how good.

As for not wanting to give too much away becausae the competition might one up us, well that is nonsence. Name me any manufacturer other than Maddox doing a realsitic WW2 flight sim or that has one in even early development? There are none.
So am I freaked out about nothing, most likely yes, but then I am tired of reading "We are so busy we cannot spare the people to work on 4.09 rubbish" when in game development terms SOW may be nothing more than in pre alpha stage. and at least a year or two away from release

Give us 4.09 with a dedicated server software and take your own sweet time with SOW.
Damn this year i was really hoping

Im not freaking out buddy, i am just posting what i was told, this information is not trying to suggest that SOW is not happening, however it does suggest to me though that its not going to happen any time soon. Obviously if some of the UBI guys who are selling their latest products have not heard of SOW then it would appear the sim is some way off.
