fellow gamers:
IMO i am pleased that any company has taken the chance (financial/time)to develop a new game for the DC, especially a shmup. the fan base may be extremely limited BUT it is there....that is why this web site exists!!!!!, till the game is released.....and we are playing it....be patient, i do not think that the company wants to release a 'broken' game....there are too many on the next-gen consoles already.

Two words for you: Broken Thunder.

And two more: Acclaim Entertainment.

I'm afraid to play Broken Thunder. It might scar me for life.

It has an awesome soundtrack, though.

PA says Dux is coming out this month but doesn't give an exact date...anyone have any idea what day this is due out? I pre-ordered it and I'm getting antsy.

on the site itself it says that there's a possible janurary release for the soundtrack. does that mean that we might be getting the game as well? I've been waiting forever and thank god that there is a preivew mp3 file of the remixes.

Haha. Sorry, but I'm going to have to decline.

PS.
In case you didn't notice, my question was a quip.

I checked my emails today and noticed in "online orders" folder I had Dux sitting in there since November. I had completely forgot I paid up front for this.

To the guys behind the sell through of this title. I would suggest you work overtime to get it out because I am personally not very happy with the way its been handled.

If a delay is inevitable, all people paying via paypal could at least be sent an apology email. I don't like to have to go anywhere to find out something is delayed if I have already paid for it.

Couldn't agree more.They've been sitting on my money since September (when the expected release date was only a month away).
Rather than an apology email I'd prefer a T-shirt or a poster or some other kind of sweetener to say "Thankyou" to all the people who prepaid and therefore effectively acted as investors in the project.
The release date has been set back and then set back again and becomes vaguer and vaguer each time.This certainly doesn't encourage any future support for the developer, and I can't really get excited about a Limited Edition soundtrack when there's actually no game to back it up...

I saw the trailer (talk about taking the last train!)
I think... ok? Apart from all that eye-busting white (same reason I dislike Radilgy) but... really, couldn't IREM sue them?

Fenrir:

Yeah, and I'm sure Hudson Soft could go after IREM on grounds that "Tactics" employs the same "hexmap" system as Nectaris.

Come to think of it? Why hasn't Id Software tried to sue Microsoft?...and everyone else who dev/published an fps for that matter?

Secret insider information .. the delay is due to the game being rebranded "Last Hope 2 : Electric Boogaloo". >_>

If Capcom couldn't win its suit against Data East on account of Fighter's History being a ripoff of SF2 on account of its graphics, controls, interface, characters, moves, etc., do you think any shooter company has a chance to say anything?

MX7 · Post by **MX7** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 11:43 am

I'm pretty sure Irem had their chance to complain when stuff like Pulstar came out

Purple_Aki · Post by **Purple_Aki** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 11:58 am

They've had my moolah since summer last year I believe

. Apparently the early pre-orders were to come with a free poster, I think theres slim chance of that happening now. Personally I think this has the potential to go sour... I sense another Dreamcast conspiracy coming on!

RackGaki · Post by **RackGaki** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 6:31 am

I didn't really care about getting a poster... until the possibility of getting a poster was brought up last May. Now I want my goddamn poster.

I just want the game. Paid for it couple months back

rtw · Post by **rtw** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 4:22 pm

I want the game when the developers are happy with it and release it.

I'm perfectly happy to wait for perfection

I'd agree on that as long as you they don't ask you to pay months in advance and finally delay it for multiple times. Anyway, still looking forward to it and hope it's coming soon.

Wow! How nice to see a courteous post on the DUX blog apologizing for the delay,giving a more specific release date, recognising those who pre-ordered as investors and promising a small bonus for the pre-orderers.
Respect is due to Rene Hellwig for such a decent and professional response

Hahaha.

This thread is funny.

By the way, wasn't the game supposed to be released in June 2008? (edit: yes)

nem · Post by **nem** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 12:49 pm

True, however:

The additional development time that the game receives makes it a way better game then it should have been orginally.

It's no longer aiming to be shovelware

I wish we had an actuall release date for the soundtrack.
