Why what has JoWood have to do with Tradewest or Guilti?

Anyway its still a shame to see a small sized publisher go down the swanny (or worse get eaten by the big boys)

[BPzeBanshee]

JoWood is meant to be the publisher and Tradewest being the distributor according to some earlier posts in this thread.

Whoever is still betting on this beating Duke Nukem Forever for release is really going to lose their money now.

TRADEWEST is the publisher, JowooD does not have anything to do with this release anymore they have submitted it to Microsoft but as of yesterday they have not heard anything from microsoft as of yet,

Ah, right-O.

Still looking real bleak for this release though.

[Zeron]

Sheesh Microsoft this is taking its time anyone feel like annoying them on their facebook? I have been doing that too many times id say

Still hanging on to my pre-order, still hoping. It seems Microsoft are not too hot on arcade conversions, particularly the 2D variety. I just hope they see sense, and realise that people want a bit of variety in their game collections. There is a distinct shortage of quality 2D PAL shooters, and this is a golden opportunity for MS to address the balance. Deathsmiles has left me craving another shmup fix, so come on MS, give us impoverished PAL Xbox owners a break.

[BPzeBanshee]

Yay I get a mention!

I don't have Facebook otherwise I'd be nagging them. Hoopy is damn right about the lack of PAL shooters though.

Here's an interesting idea - forget UK but get an Australian publisher to get hold of it if all else fails. Raiden Fighters used to be all over here and I imagine a retail release of the entire collection could actually get a fair few sales if only it was accessible at retailer stores, and those in the UK etc could just import. I guarantee I could get at least a dozen people buying it solely due to them seeing Raiden II at the cinemas and having the chance to play as that ship without putting in coins all the time.
I think Australian dollar is really getting quite high though so I doubt importing from Australia just to get a game would be plausible for Europe-based buyers but all of the retail stores in Australia have some sort of online purchase option so it'd definitely be possible at the very least.

Since I'm European and Aces is an excellent game, it's a given that I bother, too...

Last Facebook message from Tradewest Fr (from the 4th May) : http://www.facebook.com/tradewestgamesf ... 1760394374

"On attend le feedback des gars qui produisent le jeu pour l´éditeur (Tradewest UK), mais on a rien de rien sur le sujet. On a une conf call demain, si on apprend quelque chose de nouveau on le postera immédiatement. Vous n´etes pas les seuls à ne rien comprendre, nous sommes comme vous!"

I don't want to translate...you will be afraid !

That confirms it - this is the new Duke Nukem Forever.

'So lost even its own company doesn't know what the go is.'

[Sumez]

Here's the Google Translation, since I assume most people in here aren't French (funny how French people always expect people to understand their language )

Waiting for the feedback guys who produce the game for the publisher (Tradewest UK), but there's nothing nothing on the subject. We have a conf call tomorrow, if we learn something new we will post immediately. You are not alone in not understanding anything, we like you!

And just to follow the trend, here's the Swahili translation:

Kusubiri kwa guys maoni ambao mazao ya mchezo kwa mchapishaji (Tradewest Uingereza), lakini kuna kitu chochote juu ya somo. Tuna wito Conf kesho, kama sisi kujifunza kitu kipya sisi post mara moja. Wewe si peke yake katika akili si kitu, sisi kama wewe!

Please keep us updated!

[Sined]

@Sumez We are not like that in France ! I just know that Google Translation is a good friend for everybody...

Just to modify something of the translation...

"You are not alone in not understanding anything, we like you!"

It's is not "we like you" but "we are like you"...LoL Doesn't mean the same thing just adding "are' !

[Sumez]

Aw. I thought it was a cute addition

[Zeron]

Let us hope this can finally get a proper release date already sheesh

I google translated TRADEWEST's last comment and I thought it was a bit funny

Nobody knows anything. I have never in my whole career experienced something like this ...

also to note the branch of TRADEWEST which are in charge of RFA is TRADEWEST UK

If someone leaves in London...Find the Tradewest UK gateway and...

What do you think about that : http://www.itdistri.com/EN/blog/2011/04/29/22383/ little bit strange (..."has severed its links with its mother company and got its independancy...")

[Zeron]

What the hell is going on in that company is it a civil war or something?

[Phellan Wolf]

The worst thing about this "never is going to be released game" is that I am certain that the copies of game are lying in a dark warehouse waiting to be delivered to stores

Unlike Cheetahmen2 these are actually good games.

[consoleretro]

My JP Raiden Fighters arrived this morning. I held off as long as I could for the PAL release......

I'll still keep my pre-order though to support whoever finally releases it!

[Zeron]

Anyone from France mind translating this?
I dont like the sight of it though with all of those sad faces

Bonjour à tous, Raiden Fighters Aces est officiellement en stand by. Vues les complications sur ce titre, nous avons préféré le mettre de côté jusqu'à nouvel ordre. Désolé pour tous les fans qui l'attendaient

Hello everybody, RFA is officially "in wait situation" (on standby). Due to the complications, we have preffered to put it aside until further information. Sorry for all fans who waited the release !

Not sure my translation is good. Stand by (used in French) means that nothing will be do now...

TW is funny company !...

[Zeron]

Well I guess thats the end of Raiden Fighter ACES PAL


what a shame really...

[TrevHead (TVR)]

I didnt expect to see this game tbh, Its obvious the company as a whole has just gotten off the banana boat. The real shame is that while they have blundered around some other publisher could of bought the rights and given PAL gamers what they have been paitiently waiting donkeys years for.

I suppose the last bit of hope for fans (which ill mention cos im an evil bastard ) is that Guilti / MOSS release it on GOD sometime in the future. Im not holding my breath though.

Still for all we know the devs could be locked into some contractual agreement with Tradewest, which means PAL RFA might be forever fucked

[PatrickF27]

At least we can play the japanese demo

[Sumez]

I don't understand why it's so damned hard to put out a game that's already released in every other region.
They already have the rights for it.
