Quoted from 27dnast:I think the current art was approved... but for months prior, HP was claiming the art was waiting for approval. Apparently the art didn't even exist.
It's sad to learn how deep the deceptions were going.
The only positive is that the company was saved, and there wasn't another clusterf___ of burned pinheads around here.
Quoted from 27dnast:"Was saved"... I don't think anyone can make a statement like that right now. Maybe 3 or 4 years down the road? Maybe. But as of right now, anyone convincing themselves that everything is honky-dory is only setting up for another fail.
Every pre-order was about to lose their money. Now most who wanted refunds have gotten their money, and those that stayed in will likely have machines. That is "saved" to me. Who knows what the future holds.
Quoted from 27dnast:Frankly, this new ownership should put the breaks on things, and revisit the game's art. Just listening to the artist in the interview, that discussion was out there.
they need to do what Andrew should have done and ship the game. Toiling forever is recipe for disaster. Had Andrew built an acceptable Alien on his existing Heighway platform, and not waste money for years trying to make it the ultimate game because Alien is his favorite movie of all time, who knows where they'd be today. But likely on release 4 or 5 or something.
