Well, the vaporware kings. In general there is a tendency that game
releases work better, some games get published right on schedule,
like System SHock 2, Dungeon Keeper 2, Age of Kings and so on.

Forget about it, nobody waits for this game.

Hmmm, two years ago Interstate 77 was released. So a successor
would not be expected so soon.

THis game seems to have problems. I would like to see
it, but I doubt it will be soon and I doubt it will be good.
But there is now much competition on the RPG frontline,
Ultima 9, Diablos 2 and FF8 are soon to be on market.

:-)) I guess this might be a stinker. Maybe the
same for RPG that Trespasser delivered for FPS.

Nomen est omen. Frankly spoken, Prey is even longer
in development.

Okay, this was redesigned a lot. Its going to be good, I hope
for a game of the style of Outcast, only better.

I don't wait for this one.

Funny collection. But the developers will come into serious trouble,
because the share holders are not that patient than we.

Ah, you forgot about TES: Morrowwind, Deus Ex and some other name
from Ion Storm (name forgotten).
