So have they gotten up and fixed the demo vs dedicated server issue yet? I haven't seen anything written

I think its pretty weak that file planet is the one that gets it first. But I guess they must have paid a nice penny to do so

cOOL , a hunting and combat sim all in one

Yes, from filefront....... ONLY So how acurate do you rate that to be? I think I'd prefer to hear it it from BIS or placebo

Be very careful about asking that question, despite the fact that its a genuine and valid one it gets topics closed and locked. The only answer you will get anyhow is the shake and bake answer of "it'll be ready when its ready"

I second that, thats just unacceptable to anyone. Its a slap in the face to those guys that waited diligently for the release. The same things is probably going to occur with the demo's if and when they ever see the light of day.

I do appauld your efforts for trying though. Just like every other company involved in this badly handed affair no one individual company wants to take responsibility. All we get is "go ask morphicon", "go ask 505gamestreet" I haven't seen so much ball passing since the tri-nations rugby series

I beg to differ placebo, since 505 is touted as the distributer by BIS then why has nothing been said. As rµm points out until they answer the questioned posed then our only avenue to address them is here where people such as yourself have the capacity to ask. This will continue until someone gets around to giving a straight answer, some which like the demo release dates is a hard answer to get.

Big deal BlackDog ....Until they Post it on thier main website and show that they have any interest in the PC Game field the onus is on them to prove it to everyone, you could quote these forums one hundred times over but you aren't 505gamestreet are you, Nosir you are not. Every single line on thier mission statement says that they are all about next gen consoles.... there is not one word about PC games. If as you so elequently state has been said by the "hundreds" of times over then why have they not followed the example of Morphicon and "shouted it from the rooftops". They cant even update thier game release section of stuff that has already been released on thier website. Im voicing concern over a lack of information from them champ, so before you decide to go all high and forum mighty, just take a step back and reflect on exactly what it is Im (justifiably) going on about. Which is why there is no information from them.

They are purely console going by thier website... I think it needs to be confirmed wether its actually a PC version they are doing or wether its really just a console port. There is nothing about them that says PC games at all, thier focus is next gen console reading the blurb in thier company info

The mod tools contained on a bonus disc, to save you from having to go find them

Yeah, pretty strange. There is still not even "PC" as a platform choice in the "Games By Platform" dropdown. I mean, couldn't they be bothered to create at least a 'info coming soon' page for ArmA? VERY strange. Bob. You're absolutely right They're given the oppotunity to release a great game and then they make the mistake of holding back the release. To cap it off , just as you say, no mention of it on thier website. This doen't build a lot of confidence. I mean they are cutting out thier biggest market.

Placebo I have some questions for you Whats up with 505? They have dropped right off the radar, are they going to update us on whats going on. They must be contactable by BIS in one method or another. The fact thats its been offline for a while does not bode well for confidence about what they are up to, too many questions are being left unanswered on here

This is a direct quote from Placebo in the ArmA goes gold topic Just to confirm, Czech and German versions are gold, Russian and Polish aren't quite there yet, when all four of the "Eastern" versions are gold then work will start on the demo, so don't expect it in a few days, it will take weeks not days for the demo to be complete. So dont expect it any time soon... The only ones that can expect to get the demo before release of the full version will be those sadly awaiting 505 games Im guessing whose website is STILL down - confidence building that is

Thier website being down doesn't inspire confidence either

I still fail to fathom why 505 are waiting until 2007,3 months after the rest of the world to publish. And thats not a whine but a legitimate voiced comment based on the release dates provided.

If people are hungry enough to legitimately by the Czech version why would anyone want to penalize them by making it against the licencing Agreement to convert the game to English. Its bad enough that the English release is 3 months away...lets not start burning the truely harcore dedicated fans.

Ok so now its wait weeks for the demo.....after all versions go gold.. hmm At anyrate Nice to see this thing go gold finally too, good news, light on the horizon

eyes look kind of lifeless but I think people will just reskin that

@Placebo I will admit it was a harsh end line... given the run around answers and the ducking I felt the need to vent.Admittedly probably not one of my more finer moments...apologies But at the same time you answered the very question I have been searching for an answer to. Im glad for someone to finally have the courage and give a straight forward answer....Thankyou Incidently why not just release the media release of the demo

exactly.... god guys, if thats how much you are going to nitpick it then you really too much time on your hands

Ahh but I have mate.... jr's email included a point of contact I decided not to put that name on the forum lest they bombard this person. So its not quite Bullshitting now is it..it pays to ask the right questions. I have yet to recieve a response,and considering I only did it 2 hrs ago Im more than man enough to wait

This is true but all I asked was about the demo release and the response from ideagames was to call 505 games, wtf... most demo's are promulgated online. How hard is it to get a commitment to a simple answer to a simple question. Its no secret that a demo is availible to the press, so how hard can it be to release that same information to the public. Its built..its out there. Duckshoving the answer over to 505 is pure laziness

*shakes head* I emailed jr at idea games enquiring about the demo for the game and his reply was to contact 505 games about it Bear in mind I was asking about the demo.. if thats not the biggest example of passing the buck then I dont know what is. How slack can you get if thats your response "dont call us" lets see, to date that makes BI and now idea games that can't or dont want to tell us a thing about the demo. Someones really getting lazy...
