It is like when you tell your mom 'I'll be home at 8' and you simply can't make it at 8 because you are not done with what you are doing.

Still they could've said It'll have a possibility to be done at November instead of saying it will. Like I said once before, this is so it won't let people's guard down. It might get them upset, but it wouldn't make them feel terribley upset if you said after the last minute that it'll move to a different time.

By the way, I'm not mad at Core or Eidos it's just that I'm very upset since we all waited for this moment and now it's canceled.

But, Core and Eidos do what you think is BEST!

2 your question Lady in Black
yeah it looks like all we have to do is wait

i called my local games place in australia and they dont know whats going on they are asuming it is still coming out in australia on the 22nd of novmber oh well

I GOT A REPLY FROM MIKE @ EIDOS AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAID THANKS MIKE

Hi there,

Thanks for the email._ It's unfortunate we had to delay the game a couple of months but in the long run it'll be worth the wait._ The team at Core has done a tremendous job developing a fantastic new Lara Croft adventure and it turns out we need a tad bit more time for final gameplay tweaks and bug fixing._ It's a tough call to make but we want to ship the best Tomb Raider product possible and the extra time is needed to ensure the quality level we're after.

Thanks.

Mike

If the game is not worth releasing yet, how do you think they can create a demo? Game and Demo are based on the same program.

I don't know. Maybe whatever part of AOD is worthy to show off, how did they show off AOD at E3 if it still wasn't ready?

That was a limited technology demo.

Don't let the word demo confuse you into thinking that it is the hour long sit down and play a level sort of demo.

I'd rather they concentrated on getting the game right rather than appease a few with a demo.

I know that it means a very short part of the game and not an hour long and stuff. But, it's better than nothing.

Not really...it doesn't give you a true depiction of what the game would be like.


And thats a demo's job.

I still think it's better than nothing because at least you could test and see how Lara has changed and what she's like.

Not True who knows how many Liars there are in this world. Maybe to start a early April's Fool somebody would say the the demo for AOD is available now. Then soon that will come into the papers, okay maybe I'm exacterating a bit.
