The Fall is still going to be released!

[ Game -> Update ] - More info on <a href="http://wikipocalypse.duckandcover.cx/in ... ?title=The Fall: Last Days of Gaia">Game: The Fall: Last Days of Gaia</a>

Though it will be years out of date, <a href="http://www.silver-style.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5988" target="_self">The Fall is still due for an English release</a>, according to Carsten Strehse.
<blockquote>
OK, here is the status:

- Yes, TF will be released in US, UK, Australia and all other English
speaking territories. The game will also reach most parts of Asia.

- Yes, we already have partners for those territories.
- Yes, the English version will differ from the German one
regarding some features. It will be the latest version (an advancement
of the Extended Version if you want so).

- Yes, the release will be nearly simultaniously in the English speaking territories.
- No, we don't now the exact date, because it isn't that easy to
coordinate the release on different continents. We are not EA
(mercifully).

- No, the English master isn't finished yet.

- What's the reason for the long waiting time? We simply want to release a perfect polished game, that's it.


One thing we really want to say: Thank you for your patience!

There's a certain irony with that last point.

given the German release was just beta testing in reality, which I believe might've been the case, no wonder they want to release the actual product somehow. The Polish release of the expanded (complete) version is due for the 20th of Augst; you can preorder it and it costs 15$ (San Andreas is 60$, BF2 - 34$)
linky

15$? lol

Seriously, is anyone still yearning for this game?

I think it might be not THAT bad, it's the fact that we expect a lot from PA games and that we've been waiting so long makes everyone so sarcastically deprecative about The Fall. I'll judge it only after I give it a go, though I agree it doesn't seem excellent

For $15, I'd buy it. I've still got nothing against the game, and I was looking forward to it. Haven't seen any screen shots in a really long time, so I don't really know what it looks like anymore, nor do I know what the plot is.

I want Static to come out. Damnit.

I'll probably play it at some point. Absence of anticipation and potentially overstated expectations will negate most, if not all possible disappointment.

It looks like a mash of nothing

Isn't Static dead

It did look promising.

And the hype, don't forget the hype and riding the Fallout-name

Static died three years ago or something.

Golden words. The demo was so promising, I just loved the atmosphere created by the graphics, ie. the way GUI and items you found were styled. The general idea underlying the story was quite intriguing and the non-combat skills were implemented alright, AFA I remember. Pity it's never been finished

Just a few screenshots for those who somehow happen to not know Static:

I would DL the fall before I even thought about buying it. I don't like cartsen but if the game is decent then I wouldn't mind getting it.

Yeah, Static was some kind of a dream come true for us FO fans. Too bad it died and FO3 was announced to become reality

what a crazy world.

ExtremeDrinker · Post by **ExtremeDrinker** » Sat Jul 09, 2005 3:45 pm

I'd rather have Static than FO3.

The last STATIC beta was shit, though.

It looks better than VB did

PiP · Post by **PiP** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 7:59 pm

it looks good alrite, but better than VB? tough to say really, I'm not sure anything we've seen from VB reached a stage of development comparable to Static demo.
