Where is it?
Why hasn't it started already?
Why is it, that MadMat hasn't started his most finest teasing duty already?

Answers! I demand answers! (And screenshots of nice units)
 
Ah I remember this from before Red Dragon was released. It was so fun tryna guess what unit it was and then reading down in the comments to check if I was right.
Steel Division edition would be so rad and hypebuilding. :D

SD doesn't have many prototypes like Wargame Red Dragon. Not worth guessing.

... except it's not necessarily about Prototypes... and never was always.
Not to metion a lot of Bastard-Vehicles could fill that role ^^ (€: And Infantry Cards^^)

Would rather see Paradox-style developer diaries previewing aspects of the game, with length write-ups and screenshots. That 'unit of the day' stuff is lame.

Why are we pretending Eugen doesn't make dev diaries?

Why would it be pulling teeth to get UotD too? They've done it for every game.

"Frankly, it'll be pulling teeth to get these two things we always get every game they put out."
 
Israel Nation Pack: Released October 4th
Israel preview: Posted October 3rd

Finland/Yugoslavia Double Nation Pack: Released December 1st
Double Nation Pack Previews: November 29th and 30th.

Okay. Yeah, they've been getting a little better. But releasing a complete rundown of a DLC a day or two before it goes live is a far cry from meaningful gameplay and development updates. Eugen has a recent history (i.e. in Red Dragon) of agonizingly long patch cycles, and a say-nothing approach to major game changes and balancing priorities. Need I remind you of the tortured summer we spent with centurion spam and one-crit-kill SAS while he waited months for Eugen to decide to patch? Or do you remember the time when Vasily lost his marshal status and got banned from the forums for leaking gameplay and unit stat changes that a thirsty playerbase was delighted to see after months of pessimism? But Eugen, because they're afraid of 'doom prophets' felt like they couldn't be assed to actually manage their community or keep us in the loop.

Brings to mind this gem: http://i.imgur.com/9AfRZS5.jpg

Of course you remember that. You were always on the wrong side, back before you got disillusioned and gave up the green name.

Now we have Steel Division, a game that's almost certainly within three months of being released and we don't have a single gameplay video. Just a goofy, generic, show-nothing trailer
and a handful of screenshots. Forgive me rolling my eyes at the idea that we should look at silhouettes of Panzer IVs and all try to guess the unit like we're all eight years old again and playing 'GUESS THAT POKEMON!' (pic related: http://i.imgur.com/8GBC82H.png )

Steel Division looks good. Really good. And I can't wait for the beta to open up so people can really sink their teeth into it and discover how it really plays. But come on, Eugen has never been exactly open and transparent with game development, and their 'hype generation' previews are amateurish at best.
 
So by "it'll be pulling teeth to get one or the other" actually meant "it'll be pulling teeth to get one or the other in an amount of time before release that I'm satisfied with, but yes we did get both of them every time they release something." I got it, thanks for clarifying your misstatement. Nice screenshot of Mr0Buggy you got there btw, I haven't thought of him in a while.

Oh, and don't forget to get a handful of people off your friends list to click "respectfully disagree" on this post too, you're this close to running me off the board! Also avoid pinging or quoting me again if you reply, we want to minimize the chance that I actually reply so you can impress your friends by having the last word. lmao, this kind of childish pettiness is what makes the Wargame community such a worthless cesspool.

So, what you're saying is, we should wait til after release to get footage? "In a time frame I'm satisfied with" makes it sound like he's asking for months in advance. I think he's just saying that 24 hours before release footage is fairly worthless. If i wanna see footage at that point, I'll just load the game up and play it. "Look, it's footage I can control!!!"

Nobody is trying to run you off the board. We like debating with you. Getting people removed from the forums is your game, not ours...Cough* Cough* nato potato Cough*

Well if we're going to challenge what people do or don't remember, there was always plenty of footage, devblogs, UotD, etc. months before the release of the full titles in the Wargame series, but those are stuck on the old website, which is why the Eugen devblog only goes back to AoA. As a matter of fact, there were 8 of them for Red Dragon: http://devblog.wargame-ab.com/. Is this the part where you tell me all 8 devblogs were uploaded within 48 hours of the game's release?

What I don't remember is any of your names (or "nato potato"), but if you say so. All I really see here is a circlejerk.

It's all good man. If all you see is what you said you see above, i suggest loading a different web page or adapting your browsing habits. But that is a nice mental image.

I just think we're eager to see the game and don't really know why we haven't seen any video footage of it. If it's not ready or there's a valid reason, it's all good. I just find it odd that there has been none for a beta that is supposed to go out to hundreds, if not thousands of people in the next 24-36 hours. Nobody is trolling Eugen because we think they're terrible. We all enjoy the game. We just wanna see it. Crucify us.

Have Raven demote Herrmaus3r, he was 30 minutes late to downvote me on the second round than the other three of you. :rolleyes:

I couldn't care less if you troll Eugen, all I did was correct a false statement. If your squad wants to take it personal that's not my problem.
