Encouraging, but I believe the October release is more realistic. All of the hands-on preview articles spawned from Namco/Bandai's recent press event have stated that the game is scheduled for a late 2007, or early 2008 release.
I'd be very happy if I was wrong, however.

It's a shame, really, because there are so many 'blockbuster' titles coming out in October and November (Assassin's Creed, Halo 3, Grand Theft Auto, Mass Effect, etc.) that Culdcept could easily be over-shadowed. I love the game, as do my close friends, so we'll be picking it up for sure.. but it may be hard to attract a new audience when they're all distracted by those aforementioned titles.

Tycho from Penny Arcade (popular videogame-centric web comic) gave a little shoutout to Culdcept Saga today. He is eagerly anticipating it, but unfortunately, he thinks he is the only one.  www.penny-arcade.com/2007/06/20#1182324000That Terrible Grip Wed, June 20 2007 - 12:20 AM by: Tycho There's a new Alternate Reality Game spinning up for Halo 3, God Damn them - God Damn them to hell. I know perfectly well that I am being subjugated by a sophisticated marketing effort, that the best one can accomplish in these games is to get a real good look at the teeth before the mouth closes around you. I type this even as the rabbit holes stand open in two other windows. I don't presume to speak for the entire species, but there is something about secrets that does bit the mind. I tended Bee last time around, and each night held feverish attempts to assemble the puzzles. But the puzzles presented were never complete, like the ones you might find at a yard sale. One may lose many hours in these doomed attempts, and those missing pieces barb you, and set you alight, until your spirit hangs like a burning tapestry in the breast. I didn't mean to get involved this time, and I was glad of it, but then I read this fascinating comic without knowing it was an entry point into their cursed warren of lies and mystery. Maybe if I fax them a scan of a Halo 3 preorder, proof that their sorcery has taken root, someone over there will release me from the geas. I trawled through the EB database on Monday, trying to index all the games between now and the end of the year which demand my attention, and it is quite simply too large to post in-line. It's seriously something like sixty titles, and these aren't just titles I'm curious about, they're titles I would buy today if I saw them on the shelf. This mysterious list includes games from all platforms except the Playstation Portable, because after the DS I simply quit compiling it. We're fucked. Obviously it includes the heavy hitters exclusive to each platform, in addition to delicious "free range" titles like Orange Box, Rock Band, skate, The Club, and so forth. It also includes things that are more tuned to my own palette, like DK: Jungle Climber, My French Coach, or Puzzle de Harvest Moon, and games for whom I will be the sole consumer, such as Culdcept Saga. I say it every year, but with so many vital platforms in play this time around it's even worse. I wonder how many amazing games will be lost in the whorls of this perverse holiday ritual. (CW)TB out. from thy gruesome tyranny |

I kind of felt like this when I first bought Culdcept for PS2. The people at Gamestop didn't know anything about it. My friends didn't understand why I liked it so well, I finally convinced them to try it and now they are all hooked. ;D It is all about spreading the word for great games like these that deserve a lot more attention. Someone should invite this guy to our forum, then he could realize that he is not "the sole consumer" of Culdcept Saga.

It's funny you should say that, because I wrote him an email about this forum as soon as I saw that post.  |

We should all add each other as friends on Xbox Live so that we'll be able to play once the game is released. That's not for several months, but I'm sure there are other games we can play in the meantime. Anyhow, I've added my gamercard as my sig. My gamertag is Ithilis.
