Voice acting is completed and the campaign is also completed, you're just waiting until some one makes another "SILENT THREAT REBORN DEAD!!!" thread then go, "Boo, no wrong n00b!" and release it.

Should someone go do that now?

Such a storied career it had, until it met its end at the hands of the accursed SD.
Title: Silent Threat: Reborn DEAD
Post by: colecampbell666 on August 09, 2008, 09:37:44 pm
ok, I thought this was supposed to be released by christmas LAST YEAR. Well I've had enough. Whether YOU guys think it's dead or not, it is. I'm tired of hearing "It'll be done soon" "we're working on it, be patient" "we're too busy"  And also seeing very few screenshots and videos, that only supports my claim as it is dead.

If a project host would like to respond, you must make it very clear that is project will be released soon, or, as my claim says, never.

Dude, this is just how projects on the net work. :p
They're the free products of hobbies, and as such they're not constrained by release dates, market shares or anything else but free time and available skills. They have no need to demonstrate that they're still going, because they're only dead when the people behind them have given up on them. Since it's pretty obvious that this is not the case here, it's very safe to say it's not dead. ;)

Posts like yours there do nothing but annoy the people who are actually working on it.

If your post was tounge-in-cheek then I apologise, but considering how common the serious versions of that type post are on every project forum anywhere ever, I say you need bigger sarcasam flags. ;)

There will be no appearances by the GTD GeeTeeDee.

Not as good as the Derek Smart wants to develop FS3 thread, but still pretty damn hillarious.

Someone should really do a repeat run of that, then release it.

Personally I find the "you most make an update" thread good lulz too.

When its close to release, I'm sure the ST:R team will go poke some one into doing it.

I think he just copypasted it.

Actually I haven't heard much from Goober on how voice acting is going. A few actors have their lines all finished and I've given feedback on a lot of auditions. What's the status on that, Ian?

Of course, I have heard quite a bit from VA recently on his contributions. In fact he ju5t $ent mE t#e @*der c*!st%*$t#7n 09g#~p^ly %ad^@ ...SIGNAL LOST...

I've been keeping the To Do list up-to-date, so you can have a look there if you like.  We're in pretty good shape voice-wise, but there are still at least two major issues that need to be worked out.

Speaking of not hearing much on a particular topic, Pete, would you mind checking out the Pæe≥▄[UuálP>VXñ4┌╪<gè's# NO CARRIER

No, they'll release a killer virus that takes down the world's power grid in "RELEASE: Silent Threat - Reborn" and they'll actually release STR after Goober wins the internet.

I've already won the internet, according to Flipside.  I see no need to retread the same ground.

Speculation eh?........

I'm hoping more impressive stealth effects for the first Loki encounter.

Also some sort of "effects" for the Hades destruction.

@Goobiemonster. you got my PM yet? Opinions?

There's no decoding to do, it's just words interspersed with garbage.

Aardwolf is on the right track with my message. Goober, however, can be really evil. His message actually might have something in it. :blah:

Yes yes yes, get them thinking in that direction. :drevil:

But no; except for the first letter, that's just a random string of characters.

I can't decide who's more evil; GE for raising our hopes or Goob for blasting them down with a BFRed.

FS1:      Cruiser: Uh, sir there is a destroyer jumping in about 4 klicks away. Scans show there is minimal fighter assistance. Should we engage?
              Destroyer: Oh no. There's a cruiser ahead. We don't have any fighters remaining in our bays. Helm, engage escape point 3-5-0.

FS2      Cruiser: ALERT to all crew! Destroyer Hecate class coming in ahead! Team Bravo, try to destroy their beam turrets.
            * AAAF beams rip through Team Bravo.
            Destroyer: Eat photon beams!!

Who knows? I thought his "I answer to a higher authority!" was a reference to the Vasudans, but as it's not explicitly stated, he could also be answering to GTI.

I thought he meant that he was doing what he thought was best for the human race as a whole, instead of just listening to GTA orders

Post by: Snail on September 12, 2008, 10:37:00 am
I think "I take orders from a higher authority" meant he didn't listen to simple fighter pilots.
Title: Re: So, speculation...
Post by: Droid803 on September 12, 2008, 05:57:37 pm
Well, aren't the fighter pilots acting on the authority of GTA Command? Which kinda makes their authority Command's authority...
