Release Date Right On Schedule

Posted: Mon Jan 12, 2004 11:43 am

Now a ton of you have beeen emailing me about the much ballouyed rumors of UT2004 being delayed again. I decided to do some digging and come up with some new non-official news for everyone. The game is still VERY MUCH on track for a late February/early March released. Remeber Epic never gave a date such as some people thought (Feb. 14).Now the fact they still are on track is good because my sources say that Doom 3 is finished and just in fine tuning mode. If Epic were to release '04 a couple of weeks AFTER D3's release that would be disasterous, as many many potential new customers would not have the money to buy UT2004. I have been pretty happy with Epic over the course of the last 6 months and I have faith they will make the right decision.

No thats not okey at all.
they sayed its more of a update, the agme ut003 should be.
they shouldent take long if its not that much of a new game. if it was a complete new game, but it aint, its just some adde stuff. fcking hurry up already!
your all blinded from the truth, you say its gonna be good, couse they put more time in it. but no it isnt that way. theyr just taking long, but they could do it much faster.
i dont mean to hurt anyone by saying this. but hell! they sayed end 2003, x-mass, january, february, now its 16 MARCH!

you might think im weird and all, maybe i should just wait for it, but Evil or Very Mad

They would be very stupid to release 2k4 after doom 3 . Some sites say that 2k4 is cmoing out 16th march . All preorders sites say that .

Cheet... true, though this is huge it's Epic doing this and this is just an add-on.

Damn I'm going to Ireland 18-22 feb. so I will have to wait until it comes to me Sad

Only Tycho knows I guess. Wink

Seeing as this post has a time-stamp of a few hours before noon (and it’s already “tomorrow” here in the UK) I wonder if the “big news” is yet to come? Cool

Well alright, it doesn’t reveal much. But at least we know that the demo won’t be “sprung” on us without warning. Smile

as long as they make the game much more worth playing than ut2k3 then i dont mind if they take their time to get it right
