70% Complete.

Well now, according to PC Gamer (December 2006 Edition) Fortress Forever is 70% complete, could this be true, or more of a random guess on their part?

Unless there was a dev-team interview by PC Gamer, which would've been posted as an announcement or "media update" (without media if exclusive); it's a guess on their part.

Pics imo.

Also, how are you reading the December edition of PC Gamer when it isn't even November...? Is anything printed in a magazine ever less than a whole month out of date?

o_ivaqual · 10-30-2006, 12:21 PM

SCANS

o_ghost · 10-30-2006, 12:22 PM

Judging from MrBeefy's last dev journal that number doesn't sound that far off.

heeh?!!? Good question

o_goldplatypus · 10-30-2006, 12:57 PM

i used to get pc gamer and they would send issues out like 3 months early

MrBeefy · 10-30-2006, 01:38 PM

Now that's sound journalism right there.

Nobody from PC Gamer bothered contacting the staff... nor do they return our emails trying to contact them.

Their 70% guess must've come from reading my journal entry (or more honestly by NOT being able to read my journal entry), and is no closer to being true than anyone elses' guess.

(was this in the U.K. or U.S. edition?)

o_qbaler · 10-30-2006, 01:41 PM

so the ff dev team works for pc gamer? it's the only way this makes sense!

o_mescalito · 10-30-2006, 01:49 PM

I fear there's bigger shit involved then that. I'm starting to suspect PC Gamer is working for FF. Couse in the end, TFC ruled their face.

o_exarch · 10-30-2006, 01:54 PM

As requested, nothing new though by the looks of it:

thanks

hah the morons misspelled the link in the article (they point to www.fortressforever.com)

MrBeefy · 10-30-2006, 02:53 PM

thanks for the scan.

yeah, that's someone reading the website and watching the video and then making assumptions for an article.

most real news is done in the exact some way... so... yeah, fox news.

they could've at least got the website right.

Mulchman MM · 10-30-2006, 02:57 PM

Can they even use our screenshots without our permission?

o_sh4x · 10-30-2006, 03:01 PM

I don't think they can. But I know jack about law. Hell, I cross the street on the red light.

o_wheaties · 10-30-2006, 03:20 PM

That's pretty terrible. I would say do something but don't know how that would make ff seem. You're right, at least they could of got the website right lol.

o_exarch · 10-30-2006, 03:27 PM

Jim Rossignol is a freelancer a I believe and doesn't actually work for Future Publishing. I say we hunt him down!

Or maybe we should just rape his website

http://rossignol.cream.org/

Then again, I suppose any publicity is good publicity.
