Does anyone know the release date of the PC version? THNX

OugaBooga · #2 10-21-2003, 03:28 AM

they haven't made an official date YET,also it seems that north america isn't getting 1 YET,which i find HIGHLY ODD

fneh · #3 10-21-2003, 08:25 AM

The PC version is only coming out in Europe. There's a thread with a new interview link. It says on the interview.

Most places think Europe will get it on Nov 28th but it will probably be sometime between then and christmas IMO.

well one thing is for sure, there will be a PC version, not just for europe. if there is no PC version eidos and CD would be cutting a large amount of profit so i doubt they'll say no PC version. and i dont think a PC version will be ready by nov 28, it takes months to convert ps2 and/or x-box code, then there is beta testing, etc. expect it in at least 6 months.

my 2 cents anyways.

HomeLAN - Will a PC version be released at some point?

Riley Cooper - We do have a PC sku but at this time it’s only planned for Europe

They wouldn't drop a US PC release if they thought they were going to make money on it, Reaper007. They must not have sold very many copies of the PC versions of SR2 and BO2 here, probably because too many people pirated it instead of buying it.

Azazel · #7 10-21-2003, 01:48 PM

Before SR2 was released, there were rumours that the PC version was only going to be in Europe.

blincoln · #8 10-21-2003, 02:20 PM

Yeah, but even then they were planning on selling it here as a pack-in with some piece of hardware or another.

Stephenls · #9 10-21-2003, 02:22 PM

No one has said that LoK: Defiance for PC is only going to be released in Europe. The interview says that currently, there are only plans to release it in Europe.

Wait.

In my mini-Interview with Chris, he said that they actually have the PC stuff already (21st October) and are waiting for it to be burned IIRC.

sorry if u misunderstood what i wrote, when i wrote it i had to get back to work so my thoughts were running faster then i could type. now that i'm home i have re-read it and i confused myself as well.

when i wrote 6 months i was thinking of when defiance was officially announced, what 4-5 months ago? so sorry for any misunderstanding. but to me nov 28 just seems a little to hopeful.

Wait.

do the words "currently there are n oplans for a gamecube version of defiance" ring any bells?

well that doesnt surprise me becuase according to gamespot.com eidos officially dropped the gamecube. sorry couldnt find the article.

fneh · #14 10-22-2003, 07:07 AM

they did. that's my point...

Eidos dropped GameCube. They didn't drop the PC.

I'm not saying "Wait, because it'll come eventually." I'm saying "Wait, because we don't know yet."

fneh · #16 10-22-2003, 08:40 AM

OK look:

"there are currently only plans to release defiance for PC in europe"

"there are currently no plans to release defiance for gamecube"

spot the difference? we KNOW there's no GC version. They said tyhe exact same thing "there are currently no plans" that means unless defiance sells a HELL of a lot more then expected for the consoles then there's no chance of a USA PC version. In the UK PC sales compared to console sales must be closer. I guess in america console sales are much higher then PC sales (the console to PC sales ratio I mean)

so unless eidos get hate mail and a HUGE demand then it's not gonna happen. Is that such a hard concept the grasp?

You yourself admit that it's a possibility, then.

That's all I'm saying.

I'm saying that there's a 99% chance it won't happen but should the game turn out to be the biggest game ever (let's face it that's not going to happen LOK never got receved as well as it deserves) then they'd PC it.

there's like a 1% chance of a USA version for PC...that's the same odds as a condom not working when it's not broken.

If you're a PC owner you'll have to import from the UK. shipping won't be that bad for a game anyway. Course the game will be the UK price, which is a lot higher then the USA price but that's what us brits have to deal with all the time. Just import the UK version and have it within a month of the release or wait 6 months for a POSSIBLE PC version....or just buy the PS2/xbox version. They'll be better anyway.

OugaBooga · #19 10-22-2003, 09:11 AM

BAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,there's a USA version coming,DON'T gimmie that 99% lies.If there's a europe release then there's a USA release & THIS time it WILL be superior to console!

.PERIOD ! ! !

No. The XBox version, I believe, is slated to once again have slightly more complex textures and special effects in certain areas.

GGGGGGGGggggggggggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Erving JeansBgone · #22 10-22-2003, 10:00 AM

It just sounds a bit stupid to me, all the other Lok games came out on PC so it would just be dumb not to make a Defiance PC version in the USA ,i mean just think about it,all those who playd all of the Lok games on a comp (me for exaple) and then the latest one of the series just don`t show up??? i wont have that kind oh dung ! and anywayz all the PC versions of the hole series had better grafics and S*$# .
in conclusion PC GOOD! Console BAD!

blincoln · #23 10-22-2003, 11:45 AM

I actually prefer consoles for this type of game. The only thing that's better about the PC is that you can run at higher res, take nicer screenshots, and hack the savegames more easily.

If more US PC gamers had bought SR2 and BO2, then Defiance would be coming out in the US for the PC. It's as simple as that. Eidos is a business, they have no reason to release a product in a particular market if they think it's not going to make money.

it would bother me if a severely gimped computer (X-box) would have more complex textures and special effects than a newer one. an x-box is just a PC that's a couple years old. a PC version should have more complex textures or special effects if anything, but if it doesn't that'd be fine. it's just completely backwards if they DOWNGRADE the graphics for PC.
