Yeah, it IS worth waiting for...though i still think it's VERY bullshitty that we are still waiting, first the release date was for november, then all the sudden it got delayed....i'll say....it's about damn time that the game releases in Europe now....what is the reason anyway for this delay?
Germany is already playing this game for a while now..and we still don't.

yeah, it's worth waiting for...but i found out they were making a Gothic 2 game one year ago and iv'e been waiting for it ever since. And ever since then all i could do was look at different Gothic 2 sites and long to be playing it i probably knoweverything about the game by now and it hasn't even come out know. And for you people who have downloaded the demo of Gothic 2, your all lucky. I tried to download it even though i don't know German, but the time was estimated to take 105 hours!!! i don't have that time anyway

The original reason was the translation.. it took'em 2 months to translate the dialouges, and text, into English. The game is done now, however, and we're just waiting for JoWood to announce it's release(they will probably announce it when it goes gold).

The reason it is not released, even though it's done, is actually impossible to tell, but it has probably got something to do with money to finance the production/advertisement and so on..

Maylander, in your opinion, after they 'announce' the release date how long after that could it be? Meaning: if they announce the release date on Feb. 1st. would that be the release date? Or would it be weeks later?

Did that make sense? LOL.

I'm just asking in general and in your 'experience,' since I haven't waited for a game since this one, and I have no other experiences to even guess-timate.

Still not making sense to me, but I hope you can translate my mumbo-jumbo.

TIA ~T

BTW, Amazon still says the "release date" is Feb. 1st.

It depends. Usually a 'gone gold' announcement comes first, and after that it's about two to four weeks to actual release.

Just to clarify (and speaking as a veteran of the waiting-for-the-game game), what "gone gold" means is that they've pressed the "gold master" CD from which all the other CDs are copied. So essentially it means that the manufacturing process has started. The CD has to be replicated and boxed with the manuals and whatever else. Then the boxes have to be shipped to warehouses and stores. That's the part that usually takes about 2-4 weeks.

Presumably the relevance of JoWood's finances relative to this process is that it costs money to print the manuals and get the game into the boxes, and this has to happen before the money starts coming in.

When it does finally happen, people will naturally start asking "exactly how soon will I have a copy in my hands" -- but usually by that stage the estimate you get from the store or website is quite accurate, generally only off by a day or two if that.

Mind you, if you have to wait a day between when the store said they'd have it on the shelves or FedEx said they'd deliver it, and when you can actually hold your copy, that can be a very long day... so start stocking up on Xanax just in case!

I'm just wondering about something, are the english voices done already? cause i guess that's the main reason for the delay, they didn't have english voice actors for it yet or something....i hope it's release will be soon...cause i wanna explore the new world..and its about time.

So, the English texts are done and the voices are done. So, what exactly is not done?

From what we've been told, everything is done except the "manufacturing" -- duplication, printing, boxing and shipping.

I'm not very happy of waiting, but I can't speak a word German, so I guess I just have to wait.
