So Far Cry 2 console versions are off in submission and my many months of closing this beast are winding down. It's been a hell of a long haul, but I'm finally starting to get my sanity back. As previously announced, the game will be on shelves on October 21st (US) and October 23rd (I think) in Europe and elsewhere. Anyway – don't quote me, check your local retailer for dates. Or just pre-order, dammit.
So the good news is, I'm back. Several months of grunt work in the trenches have left my neurons shell-shocked, but they're already starting to regroup and I can feel the distant echos of coherent thought rallying them out of the desperation that comes with being in a purely reactive closing mode.
The bad news is, before I really get on my feet and start blogging again for real, I have a promo tour to do.
And holy fucking shit is it the most insane promo tour ever.
For those who watched the Dev Diary stuff for the Africa trip, you're probably aware that just before the Leipzig Game Convention last year, I pulled out of that trip at the last minute in order to get the Leipzig demo together.
So now, I get to go to Africa. I leave in 5 hours. And it ain't just Africa, either. For the next 21 days, I will go from Paris to Africa to Singapore to Tokyo to Sydney to Shanghai and back again. I'm going to set foot on 5 different continents in 3 weeks – missing only Antarctica and South America.
Anyway – I won't likely be blogging any compelling game theory or criticism or analysis until a while after I get home, but in hopes of getting back into the groove of posting regularly, I'm going to do my best to blog the entire tour, so come back often to see what far away land I am posting from.
It's good to be back.
