Yup. That's TAs fault. Nowhere in the blog they referenced did they say that the game was coming in July.
Well for now we know that it won't be out tomorrow. That comment almost seemed kind of cryptic though. Who knows, it could be another friday release like Gangstar Vegas was.
Like I said yesterday guys, it just got delayed. Once I get information from the development team on a firm release date I will let you all know. I'm waiting for them to finish taking care of things on their end just like you all!
We are all hoping that it comes out sooner rather than later. It's up to the development team though and when they finish taking care of things. They are putting in lots of hard work to get it out!
Hehe, well if it is not out in NZ now as we speak, kinda doubtful. But the whole 888 thing was kinda cool. Yeah, most all of these rumours are coming from here on TA, but that's cause the community is so active here. But as I have stated before, Gameloft has never ever officially stated a release date for ios, and now it seems like it still maybe a little bit. Good for me though, ipad keeps crashing trying to delete stuff to get 4 gb free, so as always I will just procrasinate deleting stuff once again hehe. Hopeful for A8 to be released somewhat soon, but I can wait, just hope the game will be awesome and fine tuned well.
"Up on stage while announcing the new Nexus 7 and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, Google not only gave a quick demonstration on the highly anticipated Asphalt 8: Airborne game, but quietly revealed the release date. All you gamers and racing fans will be happy to knight the high octane title will hit Android on August 8th." "We're not sure if Gameloft was ready to reveal the release date or not, but Google dropped the news today on their live stream of the Nexus 7".

Let's all hold hands, cross fingers, close eyes, and hope that this is in fact true. I don't like misleading information, and this seems promising. And it's coming from the world's biggest tech giant/corporation, so I really am gonna out my hope in faith into their word.
And that was the second original plan. Note, plan, not official announcement due to some work left to be done. That plan has changed due to unforeseen circumstances. There's a delay, its really as simple as that. Gamelofts Ryan will let us know as soon as the development team lets him know that they've done what they need to and that the game is spot on as it should be. Don't expect that announcement too soon. Development can lead to some unpredicted results and in reality, they wanted this out two weeks ago. Whatever is causing the delay, we should be thankful its being dealt with before release rather than with a post release fix. Just pay attention to Gameloft Ryan's posts and that'll be the legitimate information source, as good a source as we could wish for on any forum. Until he says it so, don't hold out too much hope.
Yes you are correct, this date was announced at the event. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the game has been delayed. This is 100% the truth. We aren't trying to mislead anyone by saying the game has been delayed and then be like "Ha, got ya!" and do a surprise release. I'm really sorry again this has happened, but it's just one of those things that can occur close to a release of a game.
I hope that this bugs are those small ones and the game is going to be released soon, and thanks ryan I am really glad that you will inform us
