Okay, you know what. This sucks. According to "3q of 2003" Ah2 is just months away. But there is no news.

Other companies are all over the place a year before a game comes out. I was reading about some E3 games at IGN.com and I learned that there were games that were going to come out in 2005 and the development team was completely spilling the beans on what the game is going to be like. The reason why they are doing this is to create hype. When you create hype about a game, usually more people buy it.

So why isn't HTC doing this? Don't they want people to learn how cool the game is so they get it Right as it comes out? Because of the lack of news, I am losing interest in AH2. That is the opposite of what most companies, like EA games and such are doing.

I find it quite odd...it seems like HTC is having problems or something:( Anyone think maybe HTC is having trouble with the new engine?

I just wanted to say that.

What do you mean?

They have provided a screenshot.

What is a screenshot gonna do for you? You havent paid up front for an unseen, untested product.

Looking at pic 2 months before the release date wont accomplish anything.

Do you think the stuff has to be paraded out for your approval?

You know how stupid that sounds?

"If you dont hold my hand and constantly reassure me that everythings gonna be alright then I'll be left on my own to come up with all sorts of kooky conspiracy theories about how terrible it will be"

How is your loosing interest in a project thats months away from being completed relevant?

Who cares if you you have lost interest. As soon as it released you'll be back.

Wheres my screenshots whaaaaaaaaaaa........

What's a screenshot going to do?

You better bet I WILL now track LOMAC to it's completion, look foward to it, buy it in advance, and track it's progress because I know what they are up too.

It ain't hurting their staff or game. They have 5 minutes a day to capture and post I guess.

Whaaaaaaaaaa.

Wow, what game is that? Who makes it? Where can I get it?

Batz · « **Reply #5 on:** May 18, 2003, 12:13:25 PM »

other wow nice screenshot who cares?

lomac will be game that you pay for AH2 will be a free download for you to eval. If it sux delete it. You only pay 15 bucs if you keep a sub.

So a lomac screenshot might get you to buy the box but are telling me if HT doesnt put out a screenshot you wont try the free dl?

The reason maddox puts out the weekly updates at fb is he needs to keep folks happy because it has a direct impact on sales.

When HT charges 50$ bucs for AH2 they I'll want to see a screenshot before I buy it. Being free who cares???

fyi theres a bunch of lomac films out as well.

Hi guys. I'm new to this forum. I play AH for 2 years and i love it, but i do not agree with this. I have the "Forgotten Battles" since it came out and trust me is the BEST WW2 flight sim ever. Yes it is not free, but 39$ is the price for 2 months subscribtion at AH. For me 14$/month is not free and i think that Acess High players do not cross the line if they ask for a screen shot.

Ouch I'm late for "Tidal Wave"

Theres 10 active threads with same nonsense Creampuff. As if a screenshot will do anything. Look at Slapsnots reply in regards to the "new hanger". Folks are bored with the current main. No screenshot will cure that.

Ofcourse I would like to see the new stuff but overall it makes no difference what so ever.

JAWS2003 read what I wrote there bud. AH is s free download. If you download it and dont like the art you havent lost anything. You dont have to subscribe to dl it or play it h2h.

If you buy a box game for 50 bucks with out seeing a screenshot and get home and its crap you are out he cost of the game. Most folks arent gonna rush out by something site unseen. With box games the eyecandy is part of the advertisement so its necessary to "wow" folks into buying it.

HTC in compared to other companys...

You compare apples and oranges and demand your apple taste more like the orange.

AH2 will be there to download when ever its done. Whether HT posts 100 screenshots or 0 most of us will download it and check it out.

Huh?

Dude, minus is at least entertaining, your approach to being incomprehensible, is boring to say the least.

Shuddup already.

Why can't HTC just post updates like other companies do?

It shouldnt be so hard, after all it only takes like 5 mins of the day at the end of the week to attach an image with a "look here kiddies, this is what we have this week" etc.

Bats, you are being rediculous.

Active marketing, and showing your progression of development feed people. Customers like being updated on what is happening and they look forward to what lie in store for the future.

This is common sense bats, It should not escape you this easily.
