Let's Speculate

I bet it'll have pictures and probably words n' stuff. :D

I am really hoping for a GOLD announcement. I think there is a strong chance, since the devs have not made any other announcements regarding a release, yet they have also not ruled out the January release as an impossibility.

Plus, supposedly PC Gamer UK promised a review on the 19th, so that would mean the game would have to go retail within that time frame if this was true.

Well, the good thing is that we know for certain ROOST is coming, it's just a matter of when :) This is a lot more than could be said for other promising games, where the entire development stops and/or the publishers bags out, so as long as that is not a possiblity I am happy.


Damn, just all this talk of ROOST makes me want to play the mod again, but I installed a new mobo and CPU not long ago, had to reformat the HD, and just can't bring myself to reinstall that beast UT2K4, then download the substantially sized mod itself.

EDIT: Also, even if they announce GOLD status, we won't be able to play immediatley right? How long would it take for Steam to have it ready for download? What about a pre-order period? Something to be considered.

Hey guys, I just discovered something interesting.

There is a pattern for release of news. Check it out:

"The First Update Post" dated 12-18-05, which was a SUNDAY

Second Update, dated 12-19-05, a MONDAY

Third (and technically fourth also) Update, 1-10-06, a TUESDAY

Now, the latest update, dated 1-18-06, a WEDNESDAY

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday OMG lol.


So....next update will be on a Thursday....we also suspect that the 19th will be gold announcement as per PC Gamer review date.....the 19th is a Thursday....OMG GOLD ANNOUNCEMENT UPDATE TOMORROW.





Ok maybe I am getting ahead of myself, or just thinking too much :)

However, the other possibility is that *next week's* update will be GOLD announcement, and if the pattern holds true, it will be on a Thursday, so if not tomorrow, I suspect next Thursday, 1-26-06. This is all the more because unless they announce a GOLD the Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of the last week, they will not release in January, which is what has been implied, so that leaves the two options I selected as the most likely. :D

Eh I am probably wrong....or if I was right, the devs will deliberately change the date to spite me! :p


I just keep wondering why PC Gamer would say the 19th January....and to have a demo as well? Sounds like they were pretty sure of themselves, or else they just don't know what they are talking about.
