There were off topic posts about EA and other stuff, they were deleted. As for this game i'm looking forward to it, i do think the dev should post more images or potential videos as most games in the upcoming thread show updates every week or two. I think what happens is the silence from the dev frustrates people and then we start getting all the 'duke nukem forever' type comparisons due to the release date. From what i've read the game sounds like it'll be amazing, just a few more small bits of previews would be appreciated
Well,i understand some users are skeptical about the game, at first I was too, even if i wait without any problem the official release of every game, , being a beta tester for FM, I would love to share with you screenshots , gameplay videos, and other aspect of the game, but as you know, I'm not allowed to do this, When Tato say me: now you can, you're the first to see / look at the stuff Concerning the game, but for now, I can only say That it's a great game, a game do it by a small ambitious team, with lot of passion, that work hard every day to give us what I Consider the First "true" Survival horror for iOS, it's an unbelievable game, amazing
I just checked the thread,this game has been in polishing phase since December 2013 and was supposed to release at Christmas the same year.Either they've stopped working on it or they've shelved it.No game I know takes an year to polish,Not even console games But Who knows.
It has been sed many times that the game is on track and has not been shelved so no point of saying it again, and yes not even console games need 1yr for testing and debugging and polishing but how can you compare a 30-40 member team ( minimum ) to 5 people working on a game? what do you prefer a half ass game with bugs, bad textures, bad voice or a polished perfect horror game? I am not gonna say go read the older posts because there is lots of pages but if i am correct TaTo explained that it took them more than a year just to have a good graphic engine that started before 2013 so if you take in consideration when they actually started on the actual game they even be a little ahead
It sure is much more complicated. I think they add new tech and new content all the time. I think they have problems to know between perfecting the game and knowing when the game is ready to release. If they are really still only perfecting the game there must be a huge gap between what they think is perfect and what the testers think about it. Half a year ago Tatoo said the testers here did not get a beta version but a "release candidate". If it was a release candidate that means it was a game they were happy with. The only way they would take 6 month more time perfecting is if the testers thought it was far from perfect. That again is strange as all the testers say it is great, none says it needs much more polish. @leocold I say release it as fast as possible and not make it perfect. Or release just a smaller episode. They already said they have 2 hours (part of an episode), last I heard they working on a full 6 hours.
The first episode will take 6 hours, and let me tell you out of 100% of the people who played it 100% were happy, i cant say much for legal reasons but it was perfect when we tested it the whole testing phase is for finding bugs they fix that and added even more content and now they are doing more cool things to make it better, sorry if it sound confusing but just trust me its perfect.
I'm sure this is going to be an amazing game, I have no doubt with that but this game is 6 years in the making. I mean when does it stop, when do you just say" let's release this game"? I mean you can be optimizing until the cows come home. The new iphone 6 is coming out, will you guys be testing it on that phone, which could mean more delays? I'm only saying this because I see what a great game this is and like most fans here, we want a taste Aside, from the beta testers. Some of you guys, have the patience of saints. Anyway good luck, hopefully this will be out by Christmas 2014.
Hi Johnny, i hope it comes out soon, im just gonna give an example and hope it makes it more clear Lets say you fixin your car you wana lower it kits and rims and everything and at the beggining you dont have much money so you buy a set of rims for $500 and you love them, now lets say after a year you saved lots of money and gotten a lot better at pimpin your ride, you drop $100,000 in one day on everything and you got the best ride in town. Nooow would you still like the $500 rims under your sweet ride before you want to show it off? hell nooooo lol So you change the rims everything top and sweet. Kinda look at this game the same this team started small experimented at the begining got better in the middle and made it perfect at the end so now they are polishing some old thing replacing it with better new things. Sorry if i sed too much hope i made my point and hope we wont have to wait too long, cheers
@leocold,They may not be 60 people but this is also not a console game either,I mean I don't think it could be anymore complex/bigger than other games like amnesia and stuff.Even if that's the case why has it taken them almost 9 months to polish it? I mean they were looking forward to release it back in Christmas 2013,9 months is a lot of development time even watchdogs had a shorter delay than that!
very true but as i sed im shore it wasn't just polishing they added a ton more content and updated existing content.
very happy that you got my point im shore you and everybody else will appreciate there hard work and enjoy the game.
I hope they keep focusing on making it the better they can instead of focusing on releasing it as soon as possible. They could just release it the way it is on the App Store and fixing the things they want later. I'm glad they didn't. I'm tired of rushed half baked games on the App Store that makes me feel I'm playing a beta. I don't mind waiting. I have a lot of games already to keep me busy.
thank you that was the best thing anybody could have sed, i want the same thing, how many games have you seen that they release a OK game calling it chapter 1 then forget about updating it because it takes too much work then they either go to ch 2 or even a new game? I want a game i can play from start to finish and feel like it was worth my time and money, something i can enjoy, a game that pulls me in.
Good point,totally agree,This is why it's not already out,they want perfection,any small details,had to be in place,they're ambitious,and it's why I love the game
They updated there page saying it shouldn't take till the end of the month to be out. Which was 4-5 months ago, so we should expect it soon. Id say maybe holidays? Maybe Q1 2015, let's hope! Although my guess is they decided not to release a pilot episode. Guess they wanted to make it the first full episode, so they are completing a full episode which could take long considering originally it was just a sneak peak pilot 6 hour adventure.
I'm sorry but maybe you'd agree, maybe we wouldn't have flame wars over the release date if the front page hadn't said coming soon for so long. XD
