Open Beta This Week?

What planned release date? There's no indication that there is one. Here comes that cliche again, "it's done when it's done." Still plenty to do with rF1 in the meantime, for me at least, ymmv.

 

This!

Release dates from software companies mean absolutely nothing anyways! lol.

 

The majority of posters here are not frustrated. Most of us are patient and understanding. It's those who want everything 'NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW OMG NOW WHY WE STILL WAITING?!?!?!?!?!?!' who actually believe others feel the same as they do. I'm in no rush ISI, take your time...but you don't need me to tell you that, you are a successful company on your own.

Thank you again for even providing us an outlet to discuss your wonderful products.

 

spot on!
I for one appreciate the chance to interact with the developers.

 

A dev has only posted a couple of times in this forum but we do get to interact with Tim which is nice.

We should all be glad that there are companies like ISI, simbin and Kunos who release racing sims for us. If it wasn't for them we'd have codies, EA and iR.

 

Hahaha. Do not be naive. They do it for their self, not for us.
I will not appreciate just fact that some one tries to do something. But I'm ready to be thankful if the job is done good. From this point of view, doesn't matter if it will be ISI, SBT, SMS, Kunos or Kaemer.

 

Always negative .....

 

Really negative?
Just imagine, you go to shop to buy fresh milk. Do you believe that milk is produced just for you to make you more healthy?
Do you expect some quality of milk or just doesn't care if it is expired? Were you still grateful in that case?

I believe we all looking for quality products any time and everywhere. If you don't believe me, just read 'which sim is the best' thread. Comparing products is just consequence of what I'm talking about.

 

...and in this case truely

 

I participated in that thread and I said to my NKP is the best simulator at the moment, what is not right is think that milk is bad before drinking.
Yes, I'm a ISI´s fanboy but I'm not stupid and if the game do not like when I try it will tell you, I do not see quite right is the environment that is being created with the ISI guys lately, do not think anyone wants make the game more than them, RF2 has been long awaited and that makes us impatient but certainly not going to be rude or disparaging the work of ISI.

P.S: Sorry for my bad English.

Greetings Tony.

 

I completely agree with you at this point. but note, I'm not against ISI or their work. I just only commented CdnRacer's post. Just it.

 

"Open Beta This Week?"

Yes, "this" week

 

This week? It's True?

 

Really? This is best think in the this year

 

lol. Oh I'm not naive. I know these companies aren't in the business of philanthropy. My point is that the companies that I mentioned do make "Sims" not NFS etc. EA will never put out a full blown sim and neither will codies because they know it will not sell millions of copies.

 

From facebook:
"As we approach crunch time, please be sure to share the rFactor 2 page with those you feel may be interested. Thanks!"

Now this sounds very optimistic

 

CRUNCH TIME!!!!! Lets all gather around boys and girls for a group hug.

 

That is not true at all. When a company like EA says game XYZ will be released on a given date there is hell to pay if it is not. They prepare and schedule massive ad campaigns that cost immense amounts of money that is paid whether the ads run or not so they do their damnedest to make sure that it happens. That is one reason games sometimes get shipped with missing features and bugs and, with luck, are patched later. When this much money is involved you can be certain that the release date DOES mean a hell of a lot.

 

Release of Beta

As much as it would be nice to have the release in the next two weeks, it might be more appropriate to wait until January. I am sure that we would all like to have someone available to deal with on-line purchase system load and other issues if they arise. So I would not expect anything to occur between Christmas and New Years! So if not early next week then January! But it would be nice to know rather than be left hanging!
