Quake Wars in Europe first News

PC News by Tom Bramwell

4 August, 2007

Last night's QuakeCon press conference brought us the news that Enemy Territory: Quake Wars will launch in North America on 2nd October - but now we know we're getting it here a few days prior to that.

That's thanks to the ever-helpful Enemy Territory community blog, which reveals the European date to be 28th September - the Friday beforehand.

As blogger badman puts it: "Mark your calendars, gentleman!"

Speaking to Eurogamer earlier, Splash Damage's Paul Wedgwood also clarified the situation regarding the PS3 and 360 builds of the game. They won't launch at the same time, he said, but certainly in the 360's case the product is identical, but for the expected interface changes. He called it a "non-simultaneous simultaneous" release, which is a nice soundbite, and we honour nice soundbites around here.

For more on all that's happening at QuakeCon, check out our QuakeCon 2007 Conference Report or hit back and whack your arrow on John Carmack's handsome chin.

They're completely different types of games, it will make very little difference.

3 days later, i think.

though to be fair, i'm a whingey bastard and i'd complain if it were 3 hours.

i demand BioShock. -waves banner-

Same week as halo 3. Granted not on the same platform, but still, what a mental release date.

Guys the european release schedule is fridays. The American schedule is usually wednesdays but sometimes Mondays. That's why we get stuff a few days later. It's not a conspiracy it's just how the release schedule has always been.

'Same week as halo 3. Granted not on the same platform, but still, what a mental release date.'

Do you reckon that's the reasoning behind the US date being a week later?

hmmm.... me gets the impresssion the ps3 version is borked...

`but certainly in the 360's case the product is identical, but for the expected interface changes.`

makes me worried when developers make statements like that...

No, what i mean't was that..

`in the 360's case the product is identical' which i took to mean the same as the pc version.. I'm expecting the ps3 version to look worse...

surely the 360 version should be identical to the PS3 version, same button layout etc.?

unless he's referring to rumble or sixaxis support?

as much as i prefer 360 over PS3, you shouldn't jump on the borked bandwagon until you know for sure.

Maybe the Ps3 version as something a little extra to be added.

At the moment 360 version is a few weeks behind and the PS3 version months behind schedule. They ran into the limited memory of the PS3 apparently.

In response to the US delay being a week later? It's still a stupid idea, everyone on the 360 will be playing Halo 3 and this'll fly under most peoples radar for sure.

It's a tough game, this industry.

what is everyone complaining about?

In my day, games in Europe were sometimes released 6 MONTHS after the yanks/Japanese.

Days is nothing!
