NFS 6: About Releasedates and Editing

NFS 6: About Releasedates and Editing

Monday, 23.09.2002

To continure what we reported yesterday, mmedina932/Skynner answered again some questions:

Releasedate: Because of the new information of the not contained dash and wheather effects many users wanted to release the game later, but therefore including these features. But a later releasdate means more costs..

Extending the release date - BigBen makes great points on this. Even if we do that, then three weeks from now people will say to us "extend the date again so we can have feature X and Y too". At some point you have to stop development and send the game to the retailers! There will always be complaints about this issue...those who want more features yell for pushing back dates, but if we do that then the other critics will yell that we are delaying the game. Also consider that we have to think about how much money we stand to gain or lose based on shipping the game on a certain date. It DOES make a difference!

Editing: He says EA never intended to make editing possible, that was all the community...and may we can do it also with NFS HP 2!

Editable Files Follow-up - I didn't rule it out (Never say never!), I just didn't want anyone to have the impression that you would be able to do anything to it easily or quickly. The nature of the PC is such that editing game assets CAN be done but it's not something that we intend to provide support or development tools for, and I don't believe we ever have...with the exception of Motor City. Need for Speed has only been editable because YOU guys have made it so.

Shocker
