  1. Today Embracer Group presented its financial results, including THQ Nordic. At the conference, the upcoming Jagged Alliance 3 was also mentioned, but nothing was said about a possible release date (from 14:42 minutes).

    1) It had been about a half year since we heard the news about the game (Sep 17, 2021)

    Haemimont Games assures that they are working very hard on the game, but their online activity is currently kept to a minimum, and THQ Nordic, the main publisher of the game, is responsible for all contacts with the community and marketing matters.

    Haemimont & Early Access
    ========================
    To be honest, I have for more respect for Haemimont Games to be working on the game without asking our opinions. It indicates a certain level of confidence in their abilities to come up with something that will be good.

    Just in these forums, the amount of variety in what we want JA3 to be like is astouding. Some want a copy/paste of old, some want fresh, some don't mind new mechanics, so hate new mechanics.

    Regardless what HG create, I will respect it because they will have carved their own path and hopefully will provide a finished game when they release without resorting to the "we want to know what you want 'tactic' to make money" before ever even completing project.

    Early Access is more likely to benefit the producer than the player himself. Every developer should employ testers in the quality control department. It is not a pleasant job, because sometimes it comes down to simply clicking for hours on the menu to see if something is breaking. Playing the game from start to finish is also not the perfect method of finding and reporting bugs when it comes to cRPG. Lots of skills, spells, items, dialogue, scripts that push tasks forward in different ways - 10 players can have 10 different bugs and it is impossible to check every possible option.

    And Larian himself definitely has no shortage of funds to complete the game, and Early Access is the only way to communicate effectively with players and their expectations.

    I hope that the team from Haemimont Games will also take advantage of this opportunity 🙂

    PLEASE NO!

    Modern gaming is already gone so deep down the drain... we don't need early access crap from a big dev/pub!

    Let Haemimont Games make a good polished game and release in a complete and unbroken state.

     

    I have a slightly different opinion on this, and I think the "Early Access" approach may also be helpful for Haemimont Games and THQ Nordic. Baldur's Gate 3 has been doing this very effectively lately, and I can hear it is doing great.

  5. Of course, we will see what the end of this year and the beginning of the next will bring. However, I am gaining conviction and at the same time I do not want the Jagged Alliance: Rage situation not to be repeated in this case, where the announcement was the same, then after a few months the premiere took place and then it was left to move on to the next productions.

    Well, it is impossible to do with Jagged Alliance 3, because it would be a failure, and nobody wants it. I hope that is not the case, and nobody wants to doom this game to failure.
