Some slightly sad news is that the release of the game has been moved from Oct of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008.

Where did you hear/see this? A lot of people have been telling me March 2007 and when I told them I has heard October they went nuts but I couldn't tell them where the info. came from....

It is right on the official site on the main page where they give the news. Under the one that says the S2 site had been relaunched there is some additional info in a press release. Or here is the link. I would think those who say March of 07 would have been wishfull thinkers, even without that last news because it seems like the game is far from being finnished, but then again I am basing that on the fact that only info on the Sera is released. Even info on the Undead Centurion is not on the S2 site yet.

No problem, although there is already people on the official forums who think this is just a safety date or something like that so the game will come out earlier and make everybody happy. They did something like that with Neverwinter Nights 2, so it can happen.

There is a sort of new video out showing some game play that you can download here. I say it is sort of new since most of the footage is old, well actually it is all old apparantly, but some of it has not been released on other videos so far, such as showing the different armor and weapons. Also it was nice to hear that the sera's voice is the same. It is about 20 megs to download it, so if you have slow internet you may want to do it at night. For wolfe here is a new cool screenshot that has some nifty looking werewolves in it.

Still more info pages, one is here which has some interesting info, such as all the images we have seen are only of the High Elf region of the game, which is supposed to be about 25% of the total game play area and that if you walk from end to end of that region it will take about 5 hours. I am getting memories of the huge Baldurs Gate areas again. There are also dynamic dungeons, which is really good and cool since it means they should be different each time you go into them, although it does not say how often they get generated. They also went through the names of the characters you can play, and they never named the Undead Centurion, but did name a Shadow Warrior, so maybe the reason the Centurion images have seemed to have gone away is because they have changed that character. They talk about how each class has a preset morality to them, I am hoping that it does not mean we can not choose to be good or bad, but at any rate they tell what each characters morality will be.

A final article, for now, is here which is similar to the last one given, but has a little more info, like it said that the morality thing is only preset for the Sera and the Inquisitor, so the other 4 characters can be good or evil.

I watched the trailer called "First Trailer" and also the one that I think you tried to post (btw it's a broken link, the link you copied had ellipses in it). In the first one I took pictures of all of the characters that they showed us after "unique characters..." and I found 7 of them. Is there any news that says there are only going to be 6? I'll post links to the pics at the bottom. When you see the pics you'll realize that the characters look like the bad guys that the Sera is fighting in a lot of situations, but remember from sacred 1 that many characters had NPC format of them in Sacred and UW. I like the graphics shown in the latest trailers/pics. I played World of Warcraft for a while and I don't remember shadows showing up that well... I hope the game-play stays decent. pic1pic2pic3pic4pic5pic6pic7

Yeah most of the sites say 6. The images you took pictures of look like only the Sera is the playable character, most of the others are enemies, although one or two look like they could be the mounts you get. I also fixed that link.

The first image is a S2 shot of the Undead Centurion, which I assume is now the Shadow Warrior, I dont think the second one is an image though, unless that is from an area not yet shown in most places, but I think it is from some war type game since it looks like the building has a hospital cross on it and the land looks like it was beat up.

Rumor has it that in a week or so there will be new images being release and info that will deal with the Shadow Warrior, so hopefully this holds true and we will actually be able to see what two of the playable characters will look like.
