I know that my thoughts are that they are working on it and they'll let us know when there is something meaningful to say. As mentioned previously, there is quite a bit of time before release to still give all the prospective customers the information they seek to hype the game. Would you rather they spent the time of the three guys developing the game to type up nice little summaries of what they have done, or spent the time working on the game to get it out on time? (Its not like they have the publicity department to be working on the game... so each bit of time they spend to give you the previews, comes right out of the development time)

Instead of getting all uptight about them "lying" to us, why don't we wait and see what happens. If they get it out in the Fall, then they were telling the truth the whole time and your rant was unwarrented.

If they don't get it out until 2003, then you can go on your rant about being lied too... and/or show them how much its upset you by not spending your money. But until the calendar says "Winter Begins" then its just speculation. Until then it might just be more prudent to just wait and see what happens.

I'm not saying your right or wrong, just that you are jumping the gun a bit. This isn't EA Sports, its 400 Studios and labeling them liars before we have any real history with the company, is rather premature in my opinion. I can understand your frustration with certain companies, but why don't we sit back and see what happens with this companies releases, before labeling them based on the failures of others.

It should also be noted that the companies only released game to date OOTP4, was released a full month early and the first screen shots didn't come out until 2 months before the game was released, so its not as if they have a track record of releasing products late to base these claims on.
