-Does the release date count for USA or USA and Europe?( If the release date is one month later in Europe then i will consider to go and hang my self :x )

-Has there been set a date for a demo release?

Hejsan!!

Q3 means 3rd quarter of the year. One year can be split up in 4 quarters so it means the game is currently scheduled for a realease in July, August or September. There are most probably 2 or 3 weeks between the USA and Europe release, but nothing is know about this for the moment. The demo will be released about a month before the game release.

Never believe what game sites and game retailers say, never. The only official date can be found in official press releases, but even then you should count up some months to it. :)

The following information comes from this press release:
This will add to the already heavily weighted and strong second half release line-up which will see Project: Snowblind and Imperial Glory release in Q3 and Just Cause, 25 to Life and Commandos Strike Force, together with the eagerly awaited next in the series of Hitman and Lara Croft Tomb Raider, all currently scheduled for Q4 release.

I dont want to start a fught over this so dont take this as an insulense!

But a thought struck me if you go to gamespot and look at the things they have for IG then you see a deevelpors interwiev. Here a produce from Eidos and says that: IG is due to ship early in 2005!

Look at this link http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/2438 ... site=GSBUY du you really think that EB; games would miss that much on the relise date ?

EB Games isn't Eidos, so they can't know when the game will be released, not even Eidos, nor Pyro Studios can say for sure. Like I said, don't believe game retailers. Q3 release is pretty accurate, but I think it will be Q4 in the end.

And yes, I did see the video interview, I did hear one of the developers saying the game is scheduled for an early 2005 release, but that doesn't means he is speaking the truth. Balancing and finding bugs takes a lot of time which causes most of the delay, sometimes bug fixes cause new bugs.

Most time it's best to add 2 or 3 quarters up to the release date that is stated in the announcement of a game.

It's Q3 2005, believe me. Eidos is an official source, EB Games isn't. Eidos makes the release date, EB Games just takes that release date over, but up untill now they didn't take over the release date in that official press release.

One of the questions in our interview with Pyro Studios will surely be when the game hits the shelves. They are not going to say 3rd of March, it will be a date in Q3. Just wait and see. :wink:

For those exclusive things we had to wait ourselves until the man responsible for that is back in the office.

As far as the demo goes, it hasn't been released on any site at the moment. Though it is said that it will be included on the DVD of Project: Snowblind. When the game's out here we'll have the demo online very shortly.

Yes you are right the demo is taking long, but in the end it's better that they plish it up good rather than than putting out some buggy beta like demo. That wouldn't give a good impression of the game.

Thanks for your kind words about the site, we do our best and in the end it's people like you we do it for.

hey,
I have question and I didn't find the reply in the faq -
Are the other nations (not including empires) having their own military units - I mean are f.e - Belgium units based on French troopers or they have their own graphic design ?
If so, I wonder if someone would do mod with other countries just like in Rome where u could play f.e Macedonia which was unplayable faction in original game.
