I don't understand why Telltale couldn't have told us about this delay sooner. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's wasted loads of time hanging around here.
Just saw this video from comic-con over in the TOMI sub-forum, and in case you haven't seen it there's some concept art and brief in game clips from W&G Episode 4.
ITS STILL NOT OUT!? It is 6 o'friggin'clock eastern time.... these guys really shouldn't promise something when they know they aren't going to deliver on it.

You'd rather they just release it and not fix some last minute issues? As long as it's out by midnight PST, it's on time as far as I'm concerned. They try to release early in the day, but that doesn't always happen.

They only posted the release date two days ago. They could have played it safe and set the release date a day later rather than release it late in the day.

They still do testing up to the very moment it's released, if they find a glaring flaw somewhere, they're going to take the time and fix it.
well, for me every release so far was an evening release. this one is going to be a tomorrow release....okay actually it's already tomorrow today, so it probably will be a today release but on a different today than it would have been yesterday.
They did this with MI. They have about 3-4 hours until they will release it. That's what happened before.
But thing of the many many many bugs that show up on the first day of Telltale games. Wallace stuffs up, TOMI had issues and I imagine this one will have it's fair share of problems. At least the delay will mean they will fix the problems.
I'm sure they knew about these 'outstanding issues' the day before, so why wait until today to tell us?
Telltale normally have their games released about 9:00am PST (TOMI was the exception and Wallace and Grommit has been released even earlier) so there's no way they didn't know yesterday evening they wern't going to make the usual release time.
I don't have a problem with delays it's that we didn't know about the delay until the last second and we didn't know the release date until two days before. Would it have killed them to post one message yesterday to say 'expect an evening release'???
I honestly don't think they did know until this morning that these problems would arise. Cut them some slack.
They would have at least known if they could release the game first thing in the morning or not. I love Telltale, I really do. I just think their communication sucks.
QUALITY, please. QUALITY is the most important thing here. I don't mind to wait some days, if they deliver a good final chapter to these wonderful series. And please, a Season 2!!!!

Well you are forgetting one important thing.... the game was originally supposed to be released on the 27th. I can see this game being released sometime next week.

since when? there hasn't been any official release date until the 27th and that date is the 29th which it will still be for them for a little under 8 hours.

Really Now? Go to the Bogey Man page... it says that the game's release date was going to be the 27th. It has actually said that for weeks, I don't know how you could have missed it.

Episode 4: The Bogey Man
Wallace & Gromit Take on the Country Club
Wallace has been admitted to Prickly Thicket, the oldest country club in Lancashire. Wallace and his faithful caddie Gromit get wrapped up in a decades-old club dispute that threatens to destroy their peaceful West Wallaby lifestyle, and the duo must fight to save the neighborhood they hold dear! Coming July 27!
I am going to take on all arguements at the same time... chances are there is something in this post to shut everyone up...
#1) they NEVER posted any sort of final concrete release date (up till 2 days ago)...
#2) As I have said about 5 times now, they now have more freedom with their releases. if they need a few more hours to sort out a release, they now can... so let them have the extra time...
#3) Once the game is out, that's it, no opportunities for bugfixes until the dvd version comes out. You want a buggy game now? or wait for a few more hours for a better release...
#4) Yes, they knew that they would be releasing the game on the 29th 3 weeks ago... they also foresaw that they would run late with the release cause of comic con... and that they would need a few hours to fix some last minute bugs...
They just decided to keep us all in the dark, yeah... that makes a lot of sense
#5) So I guess the international dateline has moved to the pacific timezone huh? and that the new day begins at 12:00 noon? It did not come out before noon so ergo it did not land on its expected date? does 6 hours really make that much of a difference?
#6) Yes, have them give us updates every 10 minutes... take valuable manpower off the launch team when its "all hands on deck" mode... that will get the episode out faster for sure
You all need to calm down, seriously... it will be out in the next few hours (I would say less than 3)

Telltale worker in disguise!!! Telltale worker in disguise!!! Get your gun, we gonna have ourselves a Revolution!!!
I can see this game being released sometime next week.
funny just because it apears to be on time, you now want it to come out next week. You should get your wish come back in a week LOL:D
it will be out before thursday. end of line
you love confrontations they had to close a thread because of the blunt contrast you gave other members.
Actually... the closing of the thread was my idea, because people were being increasingly rude (as in talking about how I take care of my family & such)... but whatever. Just because I point out something & people can't except it, that isn't my problem.
Well, I'm going to sleep now (it's 2am of Thursday 30th here). Hope tomorrow morning it'll be released... or maybe when I come in there's a revolution here and the floor of Telltale Games offices is covered by blood... who knows :rolleyes:
Well, they COULD have mentioned the delay in the blog.
I think that is what the forum is for and they have posted here. I think they have been very clear and forthcoming about the delay. Just hold on a little longer!

How true, how true... I really begin to hate this time zone thingies too.
Oh well...

Ah, there's nothing better. (well actually there is, but I cant say what on a PG-13 forum :rolleyes: )

They did tell us, over 3 hours ago.
And as for wanting the team to communicate to us, well I'd rather they concentrate on getting the game ready for release.
Amen to that.

I now that... but you are missing the point.... it says on the store page July 27.

I guess the blog's just a little more up to date then the store page...
But that is my exact point. The game was ORIGINALLY supposed to come out 2 days ago. So who is to say that they won't delay it again.
