Akasha Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 It's pure speculation at the moment. I think it's certainly based on previous opus. Each year the release date is around beginning of november. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Release date I'm 99% sure it's correct. Beta is much more speculative. But sortitoutsi didn't just decided to go with a random date... ofcourse. And SI announced the game for "early November", so it's quite easy to assume the date. Edited October 13, 2019 by 99 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole concept of "releasing beta" is just a way to avoid setting exact date, plus grants you an unquestionable answer to each and every game-breaking bug report. "It's just a beta". This year is no different, except the cosmetic "real release" date hasn't been given out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WynnZeroOne Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Can't see it being the 1st. Too many variables from Brexit. Parliament have no intention of signing any deal whatsoever as has always been clear, so it'll still be getting fought in the courts on the 31st because Boris definitely has something up his sleeve and the EU don't want another extension, it's in or out.

If it makes me self entitled so be it No, that makes you naive, to be honest. "The best game you can" in September is likely nowhere near the quality they want. They apparently only reached alpha stage a week or so ago. And you want to release it at least a month before that point? And that's completely disregarding the fact that their data would look hilariously out of date in a lot of regions. Are they supposed to then update the data post-release? So why are they releasing the game then? They are absolutely doing the correct thing, and to say they're "dragging on for 2 months" shows a startling misunderstanding of how development actually works.

99 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Ofcourse we all want to play ASAP, but I'm totaly fine with a later release if the wait will be worth it. Meaning an improved ME. The new features already announced don't excite me, but I love FM19 so any upgrade to that is very welcome. The ME tho, yes, that needs work, and I hope that in some weeks we will be able to see the result of that work.

Whats an actual proper reason why the game cant be bug free and playable before late November? what slows everything up?? What's stopping them for releasing it in January? Or wait another year? You seem to know a lot about the internal dialog around software development at SI, and since you know so much, you should know that they will only release it when they are satisfied with the quality of the game. On a more serious note; The reason for November is based on a plan that the release should be around that point. So the team that develops the next version are most likely developing features based on a roadmap of what they want to achieve and are estimated to possible to do within the timeframe of November. At some time during the latter stages it's common for the game to go into a phase called "Alpha". Here the main features are more or less done, but the game is still far from suitable for the average user. At this point it's most likely prone to crashes and with loads of bugs and other things that are not working as intended. You might ask, "why not do it right in the first place?", but that is what they are trying to, unfortunately, things don't work like that. It's not that the code isn't running, but it doesn't reach the output that were wanted in each and every possible state. So there are some bug fixing and tweaking needed. Then testing happens for a while and the bugs become fewer and the software is more and more stable. At a certain point the game goes into a "beta", ie it's usable but still not to a ready state. The developers will keep fixing bugs as they are reported, and for SI, they have what several developers do, an "open beta". This means that random people not associated to SI will be able to get the game before release. SI give this to all who pre-ordered and they have stated it will be available around 2 weeks before the release date. At this point, all with access to the open beta are encouraged to post bugs they discover in this forum to help iron out bugs not caught before, or to get further info regarding existing bug reports. Remember, they cannot test on each and every configuration players have around the world, so in certain cases players who have an update for their graphics card from august 2008 the game will crash, but all drivers before or after might not notice anything. This is an example, of course, but possibly a real one. So SI will release the game when they are ready to do so, and this is because they have PLANNED to release it around this point. Of course, should it be discovered a major crash for most users just before the beta is scheduled to go live, they will hold it back a day or two to fix it. This is simply the nature of software development. Do note, I'm not employed by SI, so this is simply a broad generalisation on how software development can be done. SI could do something similar or something completely different, but this is not an uncommon plan, in the broadest of strokes, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
