Any more news about the new compilations, dd?

I'm not DD, but I can tell you that Amazon has now changed their date from December 31, 2006 to August 4, 2006! That's only 4 days away!

[dew7]

Wow, now all the Sierra compilations are only 4 days away.   

[Yonkey]

Any idea if they'll be including our demo with them?

Reading this just made my day!

Now it's only 2 days away which makes things even better

  Sorry, but I'll probably never have another chance to do that to you.   


And don't get prematurely excited, they missed the last release date IIRC.   

[Yonkey]

  Sorry, but I'll probably never have another chance to do that to you.   

LOL!  You do realize that I wasn't seriously asking that question, right?

[Petra Rocks]

 I did.  And you realize I didn't mean my response seriously either, right?

PUSHED BACK AGAIN!

The release date has again been pushed back to December 31st. Someone is toying with us.....

[dark-daventry]

Jeez... And here I was all excited, and now look at it! Sorry for my lack of compilation updates, but I've been quite busy lately... I'll discuss that later though. My guess is that a hacker got in and changed it or something. It's the only conclusion I can come to. Well whatever the case, this is just horrible. VUG has hardly even seen the beginning of my wrath!  They'll pay for this! Well, maybe they won't, but Deloria is still part of my imagination!

The race is on and who will win.  Will it be the release of Shadows: the first installment of The Silver Lining or will it be the King's Quest Compilation.  The way things are going my guess will be on Shadows.  More Confusion:

Wal-Mart -- Nov.1, 2006
Amazon -- Dec. 31, 2006
Cd Universe -- Nov 4, 2006
GameSpy thoughts -- sometime in Dec. 2006

I seriously wonder if the compilation will be released this year and if it is why not have the release date in early December so VU can catch Christmas buyers.  Go Figure . . .

[dark-daventry]

This is seriously getting on my nerves! Why can't they just set one solid release date already! I know that they are likely doing reverse Engineering, but still!

[Petra Rocks]

It is a bit odd. Deadlines getting pushed back I am familiar with, but this jumping about is a little unprofessional. 

[awesomeasapossum]

It's because that department quit and we are currently hiring new ones.

[Deloria]

Well, maybe they won't, but Deloria is still part of my imagination!

I thought I stopped being a figment a while ago...Ah well.

[Monoxide]

It'd be nice if this were released at some point, however I've successfully managed to get up and running on every PQ and KQ game in XP through DosBox and D-Fend..except for one..KQ 7, for whatever reason I don't know yet.

[dark-daventry]

DD here, and I have not checked for compilation updates, but I assume there are none. I will check however. Still no response on my letter. (Surprise Surprise...) Only time will tell...

EDIT: Disregard the no updates. CD Universe has changed it's date to september 15th...

Target for November 4th, 2006

Walmart- September 12th, 2006.

My thoughts: It seems that two sites have reasonably close dates listed,  and taking into account that Amazon recently listed them for August could indicate that it was a last minute change, and september may be the lucky month. On the other hand, never get your hopes up with Vivendi. They only wish to deceive us. How dare they. Shame on them!

[Yonkey]

I've decided to unsticky this thread.

When our game beats VU to a release date, there's something seriously wrong.   You can still keep us informed of any updates.

[dark-daventry]

Thanks yonkey! Anyway, just for kicks I tried bamzu and found nothing. I guess I'm just doing random internet searches to find something of interest. When I saw a package in the mail today and I heard something that sounded like cds in it, I got a bit excited. then I glanced at the recipient, and it was my mom. Then I looked at what company sent it. It dawned on me that it was only my shoe arches. I think VUs done a number on my sanity!

EDIT: To avoid double posting, I will simply edit this post even though what I have to say has nothing to do with the above. I searched the compilations on Amazon and guess what I found: A rating. The KQ compilation is now rated T for Teen. That's just so you all know. If you ever care that is...

EDIT 2: I'm back with updates! CD Universe has moved them to september 15th.. Amazon is still december 31st... Walmart is September 12th... Target is september 15th... That's all I have. I am now going to go and bug Sierra/VG for any news. If you'll excuse me... *in back room* No cookie Monsterk, no cookies for you until you let Sierra know my wrath... No, no cookie dough. Don't make me put you back in rehab! *out of back room

Bye!
