I mean really, who gives a crap? FM05 is certainly alot better (bar the absence of the traditional look :( )!

The demo for this has come out, I've heard, but I haven't even bothered to check! On the other hand, everyone is downloading the FM demo and talking about it.

So really, do YOU care about CM5? :kader: :crazyboy:

personally i dont care about it, but i will try it

there is no way it will get anywhere near FM

TROD.

initially i said FM would certainly be better than CM but now i have doubts, because i didn't like some aspects of FM05 demo.

the demo didn't come out yet! when CM5 demo will be released?

Is there a demo already then :confused: :crazyboy: didn't knew

:crazyboy: Maybe there isn't lol! But who cares, this game will suck.. I can't imagine CM without SI.. it's like Man Utd without Beckham or Liverpool without Owen! :hump: :mrpimp: (H)

Nah, no demo yet.

I care about this game, I really hope it will be able to compete with FM. It would give SI (and BGS) more motivation to improve on their game.
It most likely won't, but I still have hope.

What the hell? Thats actually a terrible analogy.

I dont care, and I sed that from the first min, unlike many others here who believed that any company could at any time start building a game from nothing and make it better than SIs game that was successfull from the begining and has basicaly been in development for the last 10 years or so. (H) If it was like that then SIs game wud have been dead a long time now.

Where's the info for this game

I think you mean Eidos instead of SI. ;)

No I meant SI. More competition means both parties will have to put more work in the product. :)

lmao, nearly good enough to get in the sig :D

TROD.

Tom, how is that good? It's not even funny..he was just saying..

cos i laugh at ruud's little jokes against BGS and Eidos.

Not really a joke, but hillariously funny from where im sat.

TROD.

Lets all hope they fail so maybe in a few years they will be reluctant to sell the name back to Sports Interactive.

Tom does read between the lines better than you do, Rob :p

ruud probably doesnt even intend them as jokes, but when i think of eidos and bgs i piss myself laughing at the PR job they're doing, lol

TROD.

Am I the only one here who hopes this game will be good?:confused:

It needs to be good enough to keep me occupied until FM 05 comes out ;)

i hope it will be good, it could be good, but i doubt it will be good.

TROD.

Latest news on CM5:

The last bit of 'news' was released ONE MONTH AGO EXACTLY today.

Hmm this game is looking worse by the second no new news and this games sposed to be released in what a few weeks?

it seems as though everyone has already condemed this game to be sh!t already:o

No, no. Not condemned to be shit.

I really want it to be good, and I think everyone does/should. It just seems more and more unlikely it will be any good. :(

CM5....huh what's that. Only joking

I doubt you even know what Championship Manager game series was :P Know TCM? do you? :p

The forum at www.championshipmanager.co.uk has seen a closing spree the last week, after rumours (read that well, RUMOURS) aroused of a delay in the release of CM5. Some release dates now given by retailers set the release in November, while others keep it in October still:

www.play.com: 5/11/2004
www.game.net: Nov 2004
www.hmv.co.uk: 19/11/2004

www.gamestation.co.uk: 22/10/2004
www.amazon.co.uk: 29/10/2004
www.gameplay.co.uk: 22/10/2004
www.gamesindustry.biz: 22/10/2004

Make of it what you want. I think Eidos don't bother making sure the game is any good, they're only in it for the money, so they will press for the October release. If the release IS set back to November, or worse...

I will be surprised if the game turns out to be good. Very very surprised. I'm afraid FM2005 will own CM5 in pretty much everything.

HMV has a big november thing in its stores. :p

TROD.

Wednesday an article was posted on Gamesindustry.biz (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=4913), about Eidos shares hitting a 52-week low of 89 pence. The reason they give are rumours about the release date slipping past Christmas, and into 2005. I quote: The game, which is the first in the series to be created by new developer Beautiful Game Studios after Eidos split from franchise creators Sports Interactive, is still officially on track for an October launch.

However, several UK retailers GamesIndustry.biz spoke to this week are advising consumers that a November launch for the title is expected - while rumours flew in the City of London yesterday that it could be pushed back to March 2005.


At the same time as the release of the FM 2005 gold demo, rumours have arisen about CM5 hitting gold next friday, 22nd of October. It would be accompanied by the release of the CM5 gold demo.

To be honest, gamesindusty.biz don't try to make a decent case to back the rumours they report about. They don't have to try, as the article is about the low point of the share-price, and not about the validation of the reason for that low point. The stockholders should know more about this than some dudes on an internet forum, though, even if it is www.championshipmanager.co.uk. A slip in release of CM5 should by now be expected, at least, but a slip beyond november is not at all in the picture. Yet. Is it?

is CM5 the 'son of CM4"? or is FM2005 the son of CM4? :o

FM2005.

CM5 is the 'competition' :rofl:

i wonder when will this game out :p may be eidos try to learn from hl2. poastpone a year because of source leaking (that pre-alpha beta demo) (H)

LOL, there wasn't even any code in there. :S

CM5 blows. :(

I hope they put anthrax inside the box it comes in, so people stupid enough to buy it die. :( :( :(

As it stands, they're not going to release before they have a decent and stable product. At least that's something good, it gives hope for CM7/8.

hmmmm
the verdict is out, the jury have delivered their verdict. I will look into FM2005 :)

maybe CM won't have the low memory bug that doesnt let me play FM :confused:

dont count on it, oh and have you posted that problem on the community forums?

TROD.

CM5 is out here on X-Box according to EB.

is it? or is that the worst updated release date in the world?

TROD.

At the rate we're going, the deluxe 2-DVD widescreen edition of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith will be out before this overhyped, half-baked "game" comes out.

Two weeks after its eventual release, Eidos declares insolvency. ;)
