Cain Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 According to Dave S. the EAW Demo will be made available by the LEC PR Dep sometime between 1/13/2006 and 1/20/2006. We did hoped that the LEC PR guys will prepare them self in advance for the Demo release ... but its seems that they still have to polish the event. Do not confuse like other fans the EAW developers or the LEC developers (they did their job well) with the LEC PR guys. They are a different departament and the Demo was ready as predicted - its just a matter of PR now. [LEC] Rogue Total Posts: 172 Member Since: 02/05 Date Posted: Jan 03, 2006 02:46 PM REPLY I don't recall LucasArts stating the demo will indeed be released in December. The General FAQ doesn't list a date either. The information I always got was "we're working on one" and "it's coming soon". However today they told me that they are expecting to release it in mid to late January. I'd wager they'll give me a date between 1-13 and 1-20 when they tell me what it is. But that's just my rough guess. Happy New Year![LEC] Rogue So anyway we have to wait now .... relax guys ! RELAX If they tell me that they are doing some extra testing in this time or fixing some WNFed (will not fix) bugs - then ... I will be more that happy to wait. But if it is only a question that they are not up in the final gear and we just have to wait for them to put all the PR things in place ... then I'm quite upset and sad - they should have been ready in advance for this event - but ill wait anyway like the rest of us. - The Trivium Organization - Community Manager -- Petroglyph Fan Forums - CoAdmin & Human Resources Manager -
Popcorn2008 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 It's a shame they cant get it out before my break is over. But at least by the time we get the demo the actual game will be only a few weeks away. If it makes it better... delay it. Okay people let's not turn this into an "Oh! I cant wait!" thread. Everyone here wants the demo, we know that. Post something with substance please. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg> Petroglyph Forums Moderator> LucasForums Moderator

Ghostly_Substance Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 DMUK said EARLY not Middle of January so whats up with the info?

felixforever Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 just another disapointment, my patience with this game is growing thin
deriko Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 If we had not gotten our hopes up in december, this information would have been normally been recieved gladly.
CommandoGamer Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Well its about time lets hope this is true
VaderisGreater Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 people got their hopes up because other people who had no concrete information would post that they were "sure" that the demo was done, or being released. we heard many rumors from people who supposedly had the inside scoop. i think next time we need to be more cautious as to who we believe. Also, he didn't even give a date, just a guess at when he was getting a date. He could tell us, it's going to be released feb 17. so we shouldn't get our hopes up. a mod should change the thread title so no one gets their hopes up and to control rumors.
Siddus Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 DMUK said EARLY not Middle of January so whats up with the info? Would of been a good time to give the demo out during the break to ease us all. edit: to the post above, link But DMUK just said anything once more. Look, the demo isn't even completed yet unlike he said. That's why we me must focus only on what is announced with strong sources At least, I was right everywhere about unofficial information. This is the first official news about demo, with a date range ... It will come G_S : Be more careful next time
Ghostly_Substance Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Sure Siddus and I rushed my post since I wanted to post about what EA did with C&C and how they attacked me edit: Sorry also meant to say that I thought DMUK was a reliable source since he has good ties with Lucasarts. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png
Siddus Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 edit: Sorry also meant to say that I thought DMUK was a reliable source since he has good ties with Lucasarts. Well, it's not new that this is wrong
Wiking_pff Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I'm just gonna ignore this for now. When it's out, it's out. Every "demo announcement" so far has been false.Won't get my hopes up.
MD351 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 yup. Same here, no point reading "demo is out threads until you see it actually on file mirriors
Cain Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 yup. Same here, no point reading "demo is out threads until you see it actually on file mirriors The point of this one is to make us relax a bit and stop waiting for it this week. - The Trivium Organization - Community Manager -- Petroglyph Fan Forums - CoAdmin & Human Resources Manager -

Thats true, but what i ment was, when it's out, it's out and you'll know about it (i.e. everywhere)...
Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 if this wait is bcause they have to get the PR ready theni say we storm the labs and kill the PR and then force them to release the game! http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!
Star Wars Man Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 awww.... Early Jan would've been nice, ahh well, this will [still] ease the end of vacation blues[a bit late].By the way, is there a image amount limit?(I want to surround the 'may the force...' with two small images but the image doesn't work) After the last word of the 'may the force...', put your picture link in.Make sure is right up to the 'u' (or whatever is the last letter. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg
MerLock Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 if this wait is bcause they have to get the PR ready theni say we storm the labs and kill the PR and then force them to release the game! Killing is not an option.
Ghostly_Substance Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Try poking as a option. Cure for waiting is playing another game and letting the game suck you in so you forget about the demo Try Civ 4 for that or any game you like. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png
Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 ok so i'll poke them into submission! (like my ex used to threaten me with!) http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!
Aegis_pff Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 This is the dumbest PR move ive ever heard of. LEC could've had people playing this game over holiday break, when they actually had time to spend playing it.On top of that, more people would most likely find their way to this game's name as a result of the demo being out there during the holiday break.For people like me who have to get back to work after the holidays, its only too frustrating to see this chance to play EAW over the break blown.-Just my two cents.BTW, I know this isnt Petro's fault so I want to make that clear
Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Yes it is LEC's Fault but we have heard from DElphi that they had just finished the Maps nearing X-mas time which means that that LEC had to wait and check the game over. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!
