What has this company been doing the last three years?

How does a private enterprise not produce a product in three years?

I have watched since 2009 and even thought about applying until I read the pay plan a year or two ago. What is the hold up?

----------------------------------------------------------------

I just looked real quick, and [COLOR="#FF0000"]the DayZ mod for Arma II was made non-profit and took less than a year to produce. Since it's release, which was last month or the one before, it has been announced that a DayZ mod will be part of Arma III which releases this year if it can keep on schedule.
Arma II was complete for the mod to be made. The map was 225 km squared or something like that. The map was made and so were most the skins and weapons. It was 2007 when Arma was released, and 2009 when Arma II was released.[/COLOR] A new COD is released once a year by the publisher, but once every two years by the individual developing companies though I didn't notice much advancement from MW2 to MW3, and the Treyarch games are so horrid it isn't worth me looking up the spelling of their company name right now IMO.

[COLOR="#FF0000"]Now to be clear, Diablo 3 took like 15 years or whatever it was. And if this game isn't done then I am sure there is a reason for it, but what is the hold up?[/COLOR]

I mean if you need more people, then hire them. Where is this game in the design process? I mean I see polls all over asking what people want in the game, but I hope that is all figured out by now. I mean looking at the news articles the world is 8 km squared, which is fine by me. I think the exact words I read were something like over the past few months they got to Alpha stage. It will be available on the xbox 360, which is super lame. That technology is nearly a decade old.
The game should be released for pc, consoles are on the way out. The game will release, and be out for only a year before the console it is designed for is replaced. However, I am sure the 720 will have backwards compatibility. The system itself will either rival pcs in price or it won't rival them in performance.

I guess since the game is in Alpha stage that they should not have much hold up left. I still would like a list of what they have left to do.

So far I see these things are needed to be done:
animation polish
combat polish
simulation system tuning and balancing
fleshing out the tech tree
performance improvements
UI refinement
voiceover (VO) production
story tweaks
bug fixing
balance tuning

Alright high school, here is a summer lesson for you. When you start a company you typically don't do it over night, at least not when you are co-founder of arenanet.

Edit:
Well I am out of here. I was mistaken about this Class 3. It isn't the mmo that I thought it would be. It is just some L4D wannabe in which only two people can play co-op.

Have a good fourth, and enjoy the fireworks!
See ya

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I just got back to looking at this project since the last time I checked the pay. So you must be right. Have a good fourth, enjoy the revolutionary 2 player co-op. And I asked if you were a fanboy. Now I know.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last I heard Activision was launching a lawsuit because Treyarch made BO 2 suck too bad. Don't get me wrong though, that company just has a CEO who hates gamers all together. I was hoping when Vivendi sold their stock in Activision in 2011 that Bobby would be replaced. Now Vivendi is expected to sell again, this time their entire holding which is more than ownership. Hopefully it will finally be the last we hear of Bobby.

Here is something to think about there Deil. Clang is a kickstarter by Subutai Corporation, the face is Neil Stephenson. It is set to be finished by next February. That includes developing a fancier wii remote too. They have 5 days to go with 100k left to earn. (which thankfully to "Fear of Loss" it will make it) That tall order has a "nerd famous" author leading it. Your stupid idea that just anyone can form a successful kickstarter is wrong. Even with nerd fame you can go down to the last 5 days to collect the 500k that it doesn't even look like Subutai really needs if you watch the videos to see how far they actually are in the project.

I'd be sorry that the DLC you bought went on sale, but it used to be common that DLC would eventually become free a few months after release. Though adding maps, weapons, and skins also is typically a mod thing where community members produce extra content for free.

I don't care if you try to insult me as long as you add something intelligent to the conversation, which you did Deil, props. So that you know, it is Activision policy to reduce the number of their servers based on the number of new players they are getting. The really janky thing with them is that during the free weekends many of the hack sites offer free weekends as well. Maybe that is more of a pc issue than a console though.

To answer your question, no, I never heard of "the last of us". Probably because it was just a single player game that didn't sell very well. I could be wrong though.

I find it funny that you complain about me complaining about the time that game production is taking this company. I would have thought you'd complain that a bunch of people on the forums are issuing polls for a game already in Alpha as if they will impact how big the map should be.

Overall, I want to say that Undead Labs needs someone in management that will set deadlines.

Edit: I put in red the part that everyone repeats to me as though I don't know it.

    Not sure if Sonya is volunteering to be a moderator or paid. The thread was locked, and I got an email why. She apparently misread my posts and figured that because I talked about a mod, somehow I was saying that games are mods. Serious, that is not a joke, that is what she thought. Then she figured that I didn't know what profit sharing was. I do not know where she came to this conclusion from. Anyhow, she locked the thread apparently because she misread it.

    Anyhow I found out what they were doing for the last few years. They were making half of two games.

    Well you pretty much were really, you assumed that games get made over night because a MOD
    Not what Baja said.

    which works off of the ALREADY EXISTING GAME MECHANICS and PRE BUILT MAP of a game which is ALREADY MADE took just over a year to make.
    This is what Baja said.

    Then you started using examples like Call of duty to back-up your argument of games being made fast.... oh right yeah those games that take more than one company to make with hundreds of devs working on them and get worse each year yeah ?
    Not what Baja said.
    A new COD is released once a year by the publisher
    above is what Survivalting thought Baja said
    A new COD is released once a year by the publisher, but once every two years by the individual developing companies though I didn't notice much advancement from MW2 to MW3, and the Treyarch games are so horrid it isn't worth me looking up the spelling of their company name right now IMO.

    pffftt... how can you try acting like you know what your talking about when you cleary have NO IDEA of how game development works ?
    Back up your claims next time survivaltine.
    All anyone has to do is go read your fist thread lol !
    That is what Baja Said. So go read it.

    Undead Labs are using one of the most powerful engine's going (cryengine 3 ) in which they have to Create every single little detail from the world to the game mechanics to the Mocap to the guns to cars to all the different skins texture's and every single little bit of coding i could go on and on and on. .
    You are stating the obvious as though it is not known.
    Lol you make no sense here soo i will just laugh at you hahahahahahahahahaha
    This is what Baja said.

    Now to be clear, Diablo 3 took like 15 years or whatever it was. And if this game isn't done then I am sure there is a reason for it, but what is the hold up?
    Did you ever read this line in the post?

    I said in three years, not overnight.
    I talked about the mod, I did not say that a one year time table was reasonable for Class 4.
    The conclusions you are jumping to are not equal to the reality of my posts.

    Go reread this section "Arma II was complete for the mod to be made. The map was 225 km squared or something like that. The map was made and so were most the skins and weapons. It was 2007 when Arma was released, and 2009 when Arma II was released." now.

    I am here because they need a reality check. Their plan was to make Class 3 as a really ineffective crowd sourcing method to pay their Class 4 talent pool. If they need to crowd source, then crowd source effectively. Also, hire someone to set deadlines for the development of Class 4.

    You summed it up nicely; A Simply Ignorant sociopath.

    If you knew anything about how to not piss off thousands of people, then you'd realize that if they told you the date they MOST LIKELY already have in mind. A lot of people would take it as a SET date. And they don't want that cause there would be even more ignorant fools like you complaining about THAT, if things change and they couldn't end up releasing it at that time.

    If you want anyone to listen to what you say, stop pretending you're so intelligent and pull your damn head out of your ass. Don't expect people to NOT call you a retard, if you can't even read up on the thing you are senselessly bitching about.

    It's actually funny when you see people that love the smell of their own damn farts so much, that they can't comprehend that they are in fact: Being a retard. They just justify things to sound like it's everyone else' faults, so they can make it through another day.

    Baja this is the third post you have left on this site bitching about the game!!!

    It's simple games are not made overnight. There's month to years of planning and preproduction that go into them.

    Dayz is a mod, most of the work has already been done for them, they change skins and rework a few things for there mod. A skilled team of modders could make Dayz in a matter of weeks. Because all the works already been done for them.

    Your basically a big troll. If you don't like the game or are unhappy with the fact that games don't grow on trees then simple go some where else.

    Reposting a thread you had locked isn't big or clever.

    People are looking forward to this game

    I said in three years, not overnight multiple times now. I stated clearly that I did not apply for a job with UL because the pay plan was awful when I checked two years ago.

    I am not a former employee of Jeff's.

    And I clearly stated in my post that DayZ was a mod for a game that was already finished. I stated how long those games took to make. I stated how long it will take for the DayZ mode to be made for Arma III. Stop posting the same thing as me and saying it is not what I said already HariboPredator, Sanya, and Survivalting. Learn to read.

    I determined the majority of this community and at least one moderator can not or choose not to read. I will try to just ask questions on the forums.

    Can HariboPredator be banned for telling me to die?

    Also String, I clearly stated on the forums "It isn't really fair to compare a single player game to a massive multiplayer game."
    here: http://undeadlabs.com/forums/showthr...ull=1#post5936

    Every few hours someone tries to criticize me with what I wrote already.

    It's actually funny that that's the only thing you can say to me. But now that you have at least started trying to positively contribute to the community, I will leave you alone, and this will be the last negative thing I will say. As long as you don't start acting like a big douche again.

    It is going to be better than L4D or Killing Floor!
