Estimated Release Date?

Gazneth · 05-31-2009, 10:38 AM

Hey there,

I was looking at getting into heavy gear over the summer with some friends, but am I hesitant to get the 3e rules with 4e coming around the corner. Are you able to provide a speculative release date at this point?

Thanks!

Nothing we can talk about yet. Watch the Daily Illuminator -- when we have more info on movement, we'll broadcast it there first.

Thanks for such a prompt reply! I'll be sure to keep my eye open.

Paul managed an answer faster than I did. O.o

Back to working on Campaign stuff for Blitz...

Can you give us a hint if its this year or such?

They do not like to estimate such things. My guess is that they do not know what the priority will be later as I assume these things change quite a bit over time. If you look at VDS getting put on hold they do not know if that will happen with any project until it happens. I think a better question might be what stage in the process it is. They may not answer that either but it is more likely to get answered I think.

I'm looking forward to the playtest. Best way to help make the game awesome is to be in the playtest.

I'm a diehard GURPS fan, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Heavy Gear. I've got all but the army list books for Heavy Gear, and multiple copies of some of those books. I even had an extra soft-bound rule book that I gave to Rev. Pee Kitty so he'd have an idea what the game was like and about.

If I can't get in the play test, they'll want him.

Not a big GURPS fan but that's mostly because I'm not a huge point buy fan (Though I don't mind it in HG). But I've got some spare cash coming soon (an opening in my gaming line) and I want this stuff to come out so I can buy it.

I know I'm impatient and that it's probably not at the point where they can say with certainty about when it's coming but damn I want info (even if it's just a guess to the year it's coming).

Needy little bugger aren't I?

diehard GURPS fan is an understatement, fanatic would come closer to describing you
