I've been contacted by the Marketing Department at Prima Games about promoting their guide to Myst V. In exchange, we will have access to bonus goodies including:

Interview with the author
Game guides to give away
Art and screen shots

I'm going to be working with them to see how to best make this happen.

What?! Are you kidding? That's great, Brian. Do you know if they contacted any other parts of the community? It's a great idea. Keep us informed.

Wow......that's really cool.

Um............................. Confused

I was just, um..............you know............wondering....if, uh, anything was happening with this. No pressure, mind you. Just, uh, idle curiosity. You know, just killing time. Embarassed

Here's the lastest reply from Prima:

This is the first I'm hearing of a November release date. That's a minor bummer. Up to now I've only been hearing rumors of September. So, I guess I'm really jumping the gun.....even more so..........I'm a tad early.

November? NOVEMBER?!!! What a bummer!

Didn't I read somewhere that it's coming out in Europe in September?

Time to start thinking of a vacation in Europe about that time...heh heh.

Yeah, everyone at UO is counting on September. I haven't said anything about this because they say they are getting that date from the various game sites. But, I assume Prima knows what they're talking about and I don't want to break any hearts. Crying or Very sad

I'd be perfectly fine if the Prima people were wrong, though.

Ack!!! November, NOVEMBER! /me crys and pouts

I was looking forward to a September release. In the past, they have always released the new titles around my birthday and that's always been nice. It seems to me that a November release date is a little late in the season for the Christmas sales. I hope Prima is wrong on this one Smile

Looking forward to what will be offered to the Great Tree in the future for this promotion Brian. I'll keep everyone informed on the shard forum when we have more information.

Maybe they will compromise and it will release sometime in October. Very Happy

I'd rather it just be released "when it's done." TPotS was rushed to the market and we all saw the bugs that that caused.

I would imagine it really comes down to when Ubi thinks it should be released. Christmas is always a money-happy time of year, so November would be a good bet there.
