...according to FilePlanet: http://www.fileplanet.com/comingsoon/

FilePlanet is usually pretty reilable so it's a safe bet it'll be online by then, but expect to wait in a queue for a while before being allowed to download from them. They usually tend to have demos before everyone else so for a while that might be the only option.

Tomorrow I think it's worth the $6.95 to signup. I hate those queues, and especially when something goes wrong and the windows closes, you have to start again

[gkgyver]

I just signed up and now I am waaaaaaaaaaaaiting!

[newest007]

I'll wait, I'm not paying $7 for a demo. It'll be available somewhere for free by the weekend without the wait, they always are.

[mike_thedude]

ya i trust gamespy, but i hate waiting!!!!!:mad:
I just wish the game WAS out. does anyone know if the console release date is different from the pc release date???

[The Admiral]

Just signed up my $7 If you see the demo online, be sure to let us all know in here

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

when is the game released to the general public? i trust it will become available for the playstation 2? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease say yes!!!

[The Admiral]

Yep, NightFire will be available on PC, X-Box, Gamecube and Playstation 2.

I'm really confused now as to when it'll be released

Amazon.co.uk are listing NightFire for release on the 29th of Nov.

Amazon.com are listing it for release on the 18th

I was told my Gearbox Software that the release would be international - so I have no idea now.

[scaramanga]

The last I heard is that it would be released on November 21st, but don't quote me on that.

[newest007]

FIlePLanet is still reporting today as the demo release date but there's no demo out there. I checked 3DGamers.com also and they've posted no new downloads nor has GameSpot.com.
GoneGold.com is reporting a 11/20 release date (they only handle PC games) and they quote PCGamer and Computer Gaming World magazines as their source for that date.

[The Admiral]

You've got to think, the guys that run the site are in California...I think that's a GMT-8 hours...It's about 12pm now...so that makes it 4am in California...

Yep, we're looking at around 6pm tonight at the earliest...

[jokemaster]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA just realease it already

[The Admiral]

lol - 5 hours to go

[marktmurphy]

Dave- we're not running on GMT at the moment: its BST. That means you're an hour off.

[newest007]

As of this moment, the official Nightfire site is down. Maybe they're doing some updates including the demo.

[newest007]

Just noticed that the site says it will be down from 6am to 7am PST. So we're 5 minutes or so away from it being back up. Hope the demo is there.
I think I feel the onset of an illness...I'd better let the boss know I'm not feeling well and must go home immediately........

[The Admiral]

7am in the morning

WTF is going on with the official site? The only kind of update that would the cause the whole site to be down would be something like a new design, not just a small update.

It's directing us to pogo.com

[The Admiral]

ok, the whole of EA is down

http://www.ea.com

It can't be NightFire related then...either someone has screwed up at EA, or there's going to be one massive update for the whole of the EA site.

[newest007]

You're probably right, the whole site down would seem to indicate something much larger than a demo. Damn.

[The Admiral]

If you're quick, you can see an error message before the site is redirected to pogo.com

10.4.5 404 Not Found

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead.

[The Admiral]

Well, whatever maitenance they were doing to pogo.com seems to have killed all the other EA sites...it's now 15 mins past when the site was suppose to go back online.

[The Admiral]

And now, nothing is loading...just a "Cannot find server..." error.

[The Admiral]

Official NF site is back online...

[newest007]

No demo.....the wait continues.

[The Admiral]

Am I right in thinking it's now 7:45am?

What are we all gonna do if we go to bed tonight, having not played the demo

[mkkbb]

Girl with the Golden Gun, there is a Playstation 2 magazine in England that has Nightfire on the front, and either a demo, or a movie of the game on the coverdisc. This maybe worth getting if you have a PS2.

[newest007]

To combat no demo......I plan on making a martini, popping in a Bond film, and complaining about it to my wife.

[The Admiral]

So...what level do you think the demo will be? I'm placing bets on the first level.

[gkgyver]

Yes, most likely the first level. Thank god I have a GameCube, so I can put my hands on the virtual wheel of the Aston Martin.
