Seen a lot of websites toting Q4 2008 as expected release date...now im sure no-one here knows for certain if this is accurate, prolly EA don't even know yet, but it seems a long, long way off for a game most were initially expecting to have been released some time ago.
I'm a big advocate of dev teams getting things right before release and delaying a game to get it fixed, rather than rush a broken version out to the general public (helooooo SWG!!), but a game in beta for such a long time is surely going to suffer when released by being almost 2 years outdated from the off?
Do dev teams develop the game engine as they increase the beta testing period, or is it the same basic engine they devised some 2 years prior to release?
