As an American, let me state that I could care less about playing a mission where I have to infiltrate an American base or even kill an American. It's just a game. One of the reasons I loved Death To Spies was because I got to play a game solely from the perspective of a role rarely seen in computer/video games (that of a Soviety spy).

I sincerely hope that this is not the reason 1C/Haggard is taking so long to find a Western publisher for The Moment of Truth. I'm guessing Atari (Death To Spies' North American publisher) does not or did not want the publishing rights to the sequel because of either less-than-stellar US sales of DTS or because Atari themselves are in trouble financially. Don't know.

I saw Death to spies 1 laying in a shop, never seen it before here in The netherlands.

I have good news and bad news.
Good is that there are still hope for "Death to Spies: The Moment of Truth" in English.
Sad is that we may have to wait about a half of year until next news.

I quote my source:
"Game is still some way off. Expect more news in the middle of next year."

Maybe he talks about retail version? Or DtS 2?

According to my sources , game (DtS: MoT) already been localized and moved to testing phase.. and probably will be available in on-line shoping before x-mas..

Will there be a german version too?

[lewuz]

Retail version? I don't know.
As he is International Publishing Director I believe he wasn't talking about only UK territories.
I told that the DtS 1 solution - English premiere on GamersGate.com - was great and they could repeat it but no comment on that.

I never heard of DtS2. If he mixed something up, which I don't believe, and add-on Moment of Silence will be released in this Christmas and sequel next year's second half, then it would be great. But I doubt it...

Testing can take a lot of time, OSS. :S

I'll ask about German version.

[lewuz]

AHO,

Darryl Still to me:
"Yes, we generally do all titles in EFIGS these days."

EFIGS stands for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish
