Hey Dudes,
whats up with the news? It cant be the truth that we get a NS2 promo webpage and thats all until the release instead of the sensless twitter news? Give us informations on what you are doing, or give that people who got a premium pre order like me. The only mail i got was about the preordering and i got it AFTER the order ... one weeks i think.
Keep going!

    Right, they are going to go release a whole bunch of news, just because you are impatient. Seems likely.

    I agree. If they focus on releasing media, the release will be delayed.

    They have nothing! they waited several years pretending to work on NS2, they came up with a kick ass ns2 just to make former ns players to pre-order. They're waiting to collect enough money so they could escape to Mexico.

    Well I mean they deserve it. They worked very hard on NS1. Which is like the best game ever!

    I rather play a delayed release with millions of players than a timed release with 1000 players.

    You even read all the twitter posts?
    Heres a few, less than "senseless" posts:
    "Checking out the new Fade model. He's hunched over with his characteristic big spike-arms, he turned out great. #fb"
    "English version of <a href="http://www.readyroom.com.br" target="_blank">http://www.readyroom.com.br</a> (posted in Brazilian) NS2 interview posted on ns2res.com (http://bit.ly/Yn8bT) #fb" (Lots of good info there)
    "Charlie is checking out the graybox level from Oli. Big drill centerpiece. Mineshaft is back, baybee! #fb"
    "Charlie is writing a list of every sound effect in the game, including filename, length, adjectives, etc. Some will be based on NS1. #fb"
    "Max added a new feature to the viewer that lets you view the scene from the perspective of a camera embedded in the model. #fb"
    "Re: Max's new camera thing: here's hoping we can have Mirror's Edge quality first-person view model animations. #fb"

    This is all in the last week or so.
    Full blog news posts take a much, much larger investment of time than just tweeting little news bits.

    Man... I don't know how you don't know this yourself already. But games/mods that have very gradually released media during development generally suffer upon release. On the other hand, games that have a really large media release** just prior to release do pretty well. Sometimes it's because hype blows up in your face, sometimes it's because it sets an unnecessarily high expecation, sometimes it's because they focus on great media but neglect gameplay/testing/netcode/etc. and other times it's other things. Brand name does help in either case (e.g. Valve, Blizzard), but UWE isn't an established brand name yet.
    **and I have no doubt that's what they're planning. A teaser trailer is just a 'teaser', that's it. At most the goal is to pique one's interest - but not peak it, there's the difference. It's just so that people keep an eye out for it. Sometimes it even gives people bragging rights, "Yeah, I knew about it ages ago." Stupid, I know, but some people are just like that.

    Btw, thanks WhiteZero, I was about to make a similar argument. Saved me the hassle.

    Seriously, play something else while your waiting...
    For instance, I just got Red Faction: Guerilla. Fun times.

    That Game died on me when they decided to prohibit Titans from Moving when the Shield is down instead of fixing the Bugs.
    At least that's my last News shortly after the release of that Mini-Add On.

    oh, I was wondering why the hell I couldn't move it..

    And yeah the game is buggy as hell, what would one expect from EA though?

    But overall its pretty damn good. Nothing makes me laugh more than watching a gunship helpless try to avoid my anti air rockets - they have no idea where they come from and it is very hard to shake them off ;)
