Thanks

For your info, it'll cost you just the same to get S2 and upgrade to S3 as it would to buy S3 (whenever it's available) right away.

The keyword here is "whenever."

[nikimere]

i estimate about 2010'ish

When I want to be optimistic, I would say not before 2012!

There is no estimated date for S3. It will come one day, that's the only sure thing.

[alliennas]

let's face it, not earlier than 2008 Januray :nod:

[BlakjeKaas]

haha.... then S2 may be finished but not S3...
S3 is maybe before 2012

[Bob Smith]

LFS may well become the longest game in development ever... which is no bad thing the way it's working out. :)

[Vain]

I really don't believe LFS final will need longer than Duke Nukem Forever.

LOL most ppl would just tell you, "when it's done" as far as a release date goes.
But After three years of playing, I am beginning to realize theat LFS is a
play by ear thing and also it's development relies alot on player perspectives and input (which is why I hope we get flaming trash cans :) ).

I think that how it's being developed is what determines it's time to be developed and that because of this a standard timetable with projected end results and goals is just plain outta the question.

It sorta makes me wonder if all those "known bugs and issues" in other computer games are caused more by not meeting a deadline and just
running with what they have as opposed to some sort of true compatability issue or coding conflict.

I didn't know all that much about what goes into making a video game until LFS. Now I know a pretty good bit of information about it. I know enough now to know that I'm thankful I don't make them.

There are more of these "when is S3 released" threads than flys to turd....

[Fischfix]

S3 will be out after s3 beta, will be out after s3 alpha T34, will be out after s3 alpha T33, s3 alpha T32, s3 alpha T31, s3 alpha T30, s3 alpha T30...

will be out after S2 beta, will be out after S2 alpha V, will be out after S2 alpha U25


so....

it will take it's time... in the meantime, buy that ****ing license and join racing...

PD: I had a vision after eating a surprisingly tasteful mushroom omelette, so you can trust me on the release date. I've seen the future.

:shrug:

[Jakg]

will be out after S2 beta, will be out after S2 alpha V, will be out after S2 alpha U25:pillepall says who?

[Rappa Z]

I think in or before 2010. Or i hope.

I have heard this crazy rumor, that since on December (21st i think) 2012 the Mayan calendar ends the world will enter a new world order, or the end of the world will come(woohoo!!!!!!!!!!). Other people say that this new order will be Aliens coming to the earth for a reformation to make a peaceful,clean, natural earth.:pillepall :pillepall :pillepall :pillepall

If the end of the world does come(1 in a brazilusamonacodefwrfegehgfschumiisbestlfsisgreati llion chance) i want to have played LFS before that.

edit:watch out for the sublimanal messages in the bazilseazdefwrfegehgfdcdfsdfrogoschumiisbestlfsisg reatillion.

I have heard this crazy rumor, that since on December (21st i think) 2012 the Mayan calendar ends the world will enter a new world orderthe Mayans belived the world has stages, the stage of fire, ice, water etc - This stage ends in 2012, the Earth is wiped clean (!) and a new stage begins

[Rappa Z]

that's something i need to tell the history channel.

*sends letter talking bout their stupidity and never gets a return message*

[AndRand]

and only the Olmecs heads would be the reference points.


back to S3: I hope V letter patch is final for S2. cos I wont download font for S3 with chinese characters of patches.

Didn't mother ever tell you not to eat those mushrooms? ;)

[Flycantbird]

When S3 does come out....people will get nostalgic for these posts, and someone will post "When will S4 come out ?"

Then everyone will have a large laugh, and subsequently change their diapers.

[Jamexing]

We are still in LFS S2 Alpha, and there are so much physics/graphics/audio stuff that's incomplete, so why the mad rush for S3?

The real questions now are when will we reach beta stage and S2 final.

[obsolete_power]

This is definitely the only game to remain in development for this long...I would pay $70 US for the damn thing just as long as the developers hurry up and release it already!! We all paid for S2 licence which is still in alpha stage. The S2 licence has been released 1.5 years ago...What the heck could possibly take so long? Not to be a pest but I think I speak for most people here that we are all damn tired of waiting! Patience can only go so damn far...

[AndroidXP]

Dude, do you have any idea how game coding, or programming in general, works? Actually, that was a rethorical question, because apparently you don't. More money won't make LFS development faster. Do you even notice, how few bugs we have in this extremely complex model? I have yet to see a game from EA that is as polished as this.

But I see, you'd rather have Scawen hack together a few most wanted features and release them to the public asap. Of course that would work, but do you also know what would follow? A huge amount of patches and patches for the patches for these features, because they didn't work correctly, which is the case for pretty much everything hacked together. In the end, if you take everything into account - the time needed for quick release plus patches is quite higher than slow, but bugfree ones. But not only that, I can already imagine how the forums would look like. Everyone would complain about the bugs and how Scawen should take more time to fix them first. Do you know what happens if you rush a release? Netkar Pro.

Sorry for the rant.

[spankmeyer]

...Sorry for the rant.

No problem dude, I would have :slap: him. I hate modern world and despise its "everything to me now" -mentality.

But that's just me and I have serious withdrawal symptoms from not being able to play LFS for a month now. :(

The real-real question is how many surprises we will see until S2 final :tilt:

i would think your not speaking for most people. your speaking for the people who dont understand LFS and it's development mentality.
i would much rather wait 10 years for S2 and have a quality sim than wait 2 months and have another rFactor, GTR, GT Legends, etc etc...
stop acting like a spoilt child and jus be patient.
it will be ready when its ready.

Patience can only go so damn far...there are games in dev much longer than this - and i don't mind waiting, i have S2, albeit alpha, but it's 10x better than any other "finished" game to me
