That follows more or less the formula 2 months per episode, but a bit faster this time. End August-September + October for episode 4 and October-November + December for episode 5.

My birthday is next week, if ep4 is out by then

I SWEAR TO GOD

I'll eat a box of cookies, in their honor.

So no cookies ever again if they don't release it then.

They might release Ep 4 early?? What makes Ep 4 faster to develop for then the previous episodes?

I guess it's the need to develop the game into its retail release for December.

Before they were worried about keeping their labor low. Then they said, "fuck it, triple overtime all around!" Any moment now Harrison Pink is going to post an encoded message asking for help escaping his cell.

I will cover myself in Nutella and go through a McDonald's drive through on a unicycle if episode 4 is released by October 12th.

I think TTG's goal is to have the retail version ready for Christmas..... so ep 5 should be out at least at the same time of the retail version release.
This should be good news for us too, meaning we don't have to wait 2 months between episodes. Dunno, just hoping...

I'm thinking about the face of the kid working at McDonalds, instead of a car a Nutella covered guy drving thru on a unicycle... this made my day!!

By the way, if it's out before October 12 we can do it with a tandem...

I'm pretty sure they are used to worse...

There are loads of funny dudes around... *cough*

Because they have had longer time to work on it than the first 3??
I am pretty sure they started working on episode 4 long before episode 3 was released.

[Degenerate10]

It's been a month or so since Episode 3 so I could see it being out in about 2 weeks really. Hopefully at least

[Vainamoinen]

EVERYTHING's possible now. Might even be in the cards that the different validation processes from Sony/Microsoft are already running; and it hasn't even been four weeks since episode 3. Then again, we never know and the release date might still be after divisonten's latest estimate. But this is looking really good - as supposedly the retail version will be out on December 4th already.



This is a bit disheartening though - no way are they going to fix those bugs in time for the retail release when they still have to supply full steam to finishing the episodes.

and just because theyre all going to be available on disc does not mean that xbox, psn will get them prior to that point, i can see quite the opposite infact

The episodes must go through the same validation process, I'd assume - so it really does not make sense to release the retail disc with all five episodes before the digital fifth episode.

i truly hope you are correct, but the time frame doesnt add up unless they are gonna rush release the last episode :/

[Vainamoinen]

Disc pressing = two weeks; episode 4 early October, episode 5 mid to late November.

It COULD add up.

It doesn't make much since to release the digital version a few weeks ahead of the retail version either. I think they will release as close together as possible to maximize their profit. They are going to want to sell as many physical copies as possible.
