Well, the main reason why I'm bringing it to everyones attention is because about 3 inches above the bottom in nice bold white letters, it says, and I quote, "COMING OCTOBER 2001"
Isn't that wierd? Didn't we all just conclude that October is some made up, date? Oh well, we'll have to see won't we? |
Did you get it at the store or in the mail?

I noted (in a separate thread) that the current MGON preview includes the hope that the game will be available early next year--this, after the "previewer" has spent time face-to-face with Sid at E3.
Don't know who to believe...

Ok, I took the pictures... boy those cameras eat up batteries!
Oh, whoever asked, I get my PCGamer in the mail. But I also checked a store version. Its the same....
Also, this is just me, personaly, I really like PCGamer, its one of my fav gaming zines, and although October 2001 seems a little early, i believe we'll get Civ3 either during October, or maybe a little after. Its just an add, but PCG did a preview of Civ3 a while back (maybe 3 issues back?) about Civ3. Well they had a little FYI section. I posted something about it... it was a list of current facts or something... anyway, they said the game was 50%+ done. And, again, its my opinion, but I trust PCG more than any other zine about dates, info, etc, and 50% done several months ago was pretty good. I don't know what really goes on in the Computer Gaming business, but to me, after the first 50% or so is finished, its just little things that need be done... so the end half or so is always quicker than the begining. well i'll finish my ranting... i'm sorry, please dont hate me.

To_Serve_Man,
Thanks for the pic. Would you mind attaching a pic of the full ad, I would like to see it.
I know that the mag is Sept 2001, but when was it printed? I mean it came out in July and it could be a couple weeks old. That would mean that Infogames that had October on their website before taking it down had already put the ad in and their information was changing. I guess we will soon find out.

as if the date October cant be possible, i mean, how could we think that 5-6 preveiws, 2 magazine, and several shoping websites are wrong. Of course we all know that fraxis won't shoot for the holiday season. Everyone on this forum has cross examined what they said, then somehow read there minds and can firmly state that they will ship it 2002 NOT 2001. off course they will all make an ass of themselves when it comes in october, then i will laugh in there face becouse fraxis will make the holiday rush, who wouldn't, and off course i will be flamed by all the neigh sayers and i couldn't give a dam becouse THIS is a forum and ill say whatever the fu-ck pleases me.
