Any date on Beta?

[Korvenus]

This is one of the game that I am looking forward to this year. Anybody heard anything about when the beta is comming?

[Maribel]

They say soon, but this is too vague. The confirmed info so far is about the launch on June. I signed up for Beta.. I don't want to miss it at all.

I would predict sometime in April-June. Due to some events in the year still going around.

It seems like I have been waiting for an eternity for JGE. I am a huge Spacesim fan. My heart broke when SWG JTL came out...was hoping for more. Loving the STO beta but I would love some time in the cockpit. Anyone know of a good space sim MMO, (not EVE, looking for true sim 1st person Joystick support etc?)

When I talked to them at PAX, and got to play the game a bit, it seemed like they were working more on having things perfected with a lot of internal and "friends and family" testing it on a very closed level of beta. I think they said like 100. After PAX, i haven't heard much further regarding it.

The game looked amazing, graphics might be on par, or better than EVE and, I hate to say it, definitely better than STO, but beyond that...not positive on beta dates

Jumpgate is one I was eagerly awaiting when I first heard about it, but it seems the media have gone a bit quiet about it for the time being.

In a way I'm glad there's no sign of the beta just yet, because what I've seen so far looks stunning, and I'd rather wait until they're happy to put the game into beta, rather than have them rush out an unfinished product to be wailed into the ground by a seemingly ever more demanding and negatively vocal world gamer audience.

I've taken part in several betas which with hindsight really shouldn't have been open for testing, and worse, with some of them, certainly should never have gone live in the state they were in.

So I'm happy to sit back and wait this one out.
Provided it doesn't acquire Duke Nukem Forever status that is ...

Someone I know is in their beta, told me that the network code they built the game on is broken causing them to rebuild the entire system.

You should be happy to hear that this will never occur... seeing as how DNF was privately funded by 3DRealms and this game isn't, heh. This will die long before it can become a new DNF.

Anyways, being a fan of the Freespace series I am eagerly awaiting this to finally get out the door.
