shin Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hi, been awhile! I picked up the game again, and remembered the nice people on these forums. Congrats on that! I thought I'd check out how it's going! Is year 2 near the release date?Anything in a new game of year one to watch out for, for year 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 The last Info we got was 1. quarter of 2014 if my mind don't fail me but more recently we got a priority list that hint that its probably more toward end 2014 start 2015 when we see year 2.

Legate of Mineta Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 shin; Schwarzbart is correct, although we hope to have it earlier. Still, we're pretty sure it will be worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 At last DLC 16 should be in our hands soon. What means hopeful this or next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Schwarzbart; Most likely to be next month, due to the Orc Campaign, but yep, it's being worked on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Well, if we will have to wait 4 years, our expectations will be that much higher.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shin Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Thanks for the update! I missed you guys. I'd thought it was earlier because of an older thread. Glad to hear about DLC 16! Nice to have something new to tide over the wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Well, if we will have to wait 4 years, our expectations will be that much higher.... So you say in August next year our expectations go up if Year 2 is not released by then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I say that every day that goes by increases my expectations a little bit. The hype that follows long development cycles can be *very* hard to live up to. Look at Duke Nukem Forever. It wasn't an especially bad game from what I could tell. (the subject matter was far too cheesy for me to have any interest in it, though) In the end, most of the hype it rode upon was what was doomed it to the realm of relative crappiness. I'm not saying that this will happen in Y2, but it is something to keep in mind of the series as a whole. Especially considering the likeliness that the wait for years beyond two will almost certainly be longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipebeard Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Well Free, I can tell you that Duke Nukem Forever suffered from something called Developmental Hell, being it was constantly pushed back for over ten years. I remember the article after Duke Nukem 3D and getting excited to kick more alien ass and chew more gum, but the engine changed for Duke several times and ideas were kept and lost, so the end product was a sort of garbled mess that didn't know exactly what it wanted to do coupled with its raunchy jokes that passed when PC gaming was a niche audience, but now with the multimedia, people didn't find attractive women hanging off his arms and 80's one liners funny anymore. I personally hope that year 2 doesn't have those problems of having to remake their engine from the ground up several times. I mean, what could go wrong?

freespace2dotcom Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Indeed.Y2 shouldn't have those problems.... But I have this itch that tells me that since Y2 is already at least 2 years behind the originally scheduled plan, Y3-5 will be late arrivals by that margin also, and if each game in line is late also, Y5 will suffer the accumulated cascading lateness of all games before it and due to that may cause similar problems. I concede that it's an extreme worst case scenario, but still it is important to acknowledge the possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipebeard Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 You might have a point there. I hope that the worst case scenario doesn't in fact happen. I figure we'll see exactly where the die rolls when the time comes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilette Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 If a button got stuck maybe they need some WD-40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 The current hold-up is determining whether it'd be worth it to first update the Y1 UI closer to Y2 standard (read: better) before the Steam release, how much work that'd cost, and how to make sure not to make this update Steam-exclusive so as not to screw over old fans. IIRC after that comes maybe Steam achievements, after that comes Y1-Y2 import final testing, and after that - hopefully - comes Y2. Of course there's also other projects going on in the meantime.
