Hmm, I've seen no "real" evidence, but I'd guess within a week...can't wait!

Well it's Friday in the US. . .no demo afaik. Of course, its' still another hour until 5 pm pac time. I'm guessing that will be the last hour it would be released. Hopefully I'm wrong.

From Mark Rein/Infogram Forums:

Status update:

Macsoft found a few bugs we weren't aware of so it's going to take a little more time to get the demo out.


hmm, hopefully next week then.


cheers.

grr.. or next month

Don't get me wrong though. It's an awesome game, they are working hard on it, and I am grateful. I can wait a while longer

Yeah I hear ya...I'm just hoping the wait doesn't increase the machine requirements too much!

Yes, should be soon. I've upgraded to a radeon 8500 in spite of it, but I doubt my single 533 can handle it.

Some news:
They have seen tremendous performance increases with UT2003 in just the past few weeks and have the game running really well on the lowest specification system they plan to support.

They're hyping UT2k3 for Mac. Crazy! I'd better not be disappointed...for their sake.

Hah, I hear ya...I'm getting kinda skeptical as the System Requirements on the MacSoft site are still "TBA".

Good lord...I bet the game will still have lots of bugs when it comes out.

The more time this game takes to come out, the less reassured I am that it's going to be good.

The latest patch for UT2k3 has been released on the PC side. Now we probably don't have to wait too long before it is released.

Let's sure hope so...they need to release it before Summer rolls around.

Granted this is a rumor, but apparently 10.2.6 has been seeded and it has an Nvidia fix for UT2k3. I wonder if this means we might have to wait for the next point release for 10.2...

How about we wait until Panther. Panther will 'for sure' have all the needed OpenGL fixes.

I'm tired of waiting...it's now or never.

I'd like to have it now too but pouting about it won't make it happen earlier.

I wonder how many of us PowerMac users will be buying new video cards the day UT2003 is available.
folding@home is good for you.
