"Darmstadt, November 29, 2004.
Publisher 10TACLE STUDIOS AG also relies on competent distribution partners for their portfolio outside the German market. With Atari by their side, the group around CEO Michele Pes has now found an attractive partner. The base of their cooperation is an extensive distribution deal concerning the 10TACLE titles "GTR"(PC) and "Neocron2"(PC). Within the cooperation between the two companies, Atari will be responsible for the distribution of the 10TACLE products in the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, BeNeLux, Israel and Greece. Both titles are planned to be released in Q1 2005.

Michele Pes, CEO 10TACLE: "We have been looking for a partner for the distribution of our products in the aforementioned European countries that not only has an excellent position in the market, but also possesses the necessary distribution power to optimally place our products on the shelves in stores across Europe. With Atari we have found a partner that is capable of doing so."

Actually, Atari was bought by Infogrames, a French video games company.

look at the last sentence i wrote..

"but you never do know with people"

You just so often hear about people pretending to be, so in most cases it would have been bullshit, you would be the exception then.

so there was no offense meant. just a common case conclusion.

obviously you don't want me to post about north america and the word release otherwise you wouldn't have replied to the prior comments. Thus entitling you to emphasize i can't make a difference and I can't make a post without some sort of stupid reply coming up after it.

Thanks

ok then lets recap, atari went from selling frogger to nc2 making frenchmen and some wacko frome europe thinks the north american market is unimportant when it has the highest percentage of obese videogame playing youths with too much money on thier hands (myself included except fot the money part cause im always broke), [ edited ]

yeah atari went from selling frogger and unreal 2k4 and driver 3 to nc2 hell what do they know about games???

Just noticed you specified Obese - in that I'll aggree with you. If we're talking highest percentage of videogame playing youths with too much money on their hands, we're talking Korea. Those guys are friggin' crazy about their MMORPGs

North America would have been a great move for you KK, if you would have done marketing correctly over here.

Get that U.S. Publisher picked out ASAP, make sure your publisher does a good job, and you'll have a safe, steady influx of cash coming your way in no time.

And when is the estimated date of arival for the game in Greece?

"Coming Soon 2005," *shows 2 melee tanks fighting* 'Fatal Runtime error' "Coming to stores near you!"

Oh Wow.

Roughly A year ago we were told that DOY was delayed because you were looking for a publisher? it was supposed to be "Released" at the beginning of September, seriously how hard would it have been to get this game on the shelves in time for Christmas?? Maybe then there would be a higher population than there was on NC1, and you people would be able to afford to hire more Devs to fix all the bugs that have been in the game for years.

U think people would look through all the christmas releases of GTA:SA Getaway Black Monday to name but two to pick up a copy of Neocron? NO because christmas isn't a time for "oh look that looks i'll give it a try" buying its a time for "this game has advertised most on tv and looks the dogs i'll buy it" buying. While releasing neocron after christmas i'm not sure i'm allowed to say exact release date is a lot more ideal gives atari chance to lead a more focus'd advertising campaign and are able to put it out at a time where there is no other compotition so people don't have a choice but to buy it.
