SOON READY FOR DOWNLOAD: KQ2VGA 2.0 + Speech pack

#1 Post by Erpy » Tue Apr 01, 2003 4:25 pm

After lots of tweaking, the light near the end of the tunnel is finally in sight. KQ2VGA 2.0 is about to be released. This is one thing you HAVE to download. Not only are there quite a few bugfixes and the great cross-fading feature; this version is also optimized to work with the voicepack.<br><br>Yep, you've heard that right! As soon as KQ2VGA 2.0 is brought out, we'll also release our very own <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>KQ2 SPEECH PACK!</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> (surprise, eh?) And let me tell you one thing. You REALLY don't want to miss this one. This awesome addition to an already awesome game will make the whole experience more memorable than ever before.<br><br>Heh, I guess you guys now know the advantage of being a regular here. With luck, you may get your grubby hands on the speech pack before the rest of the world finds out. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>You may now start drooling in anticipation!!! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nas ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>(p.s: At the moment, our QA staff is still working to iron out the last few glitches.

Awesome. I only heard about the game recently. I downloaded your first game off some site and I really enjoyed it. I later downloaded the voicepack from here and did a great job adding that extra bit of profesionallism. Too bad KQ1 didn't have a lot of dialogue. Most people in the game just said their lines to Graham and he only replied to others in the intro and ending. I haven't downloaded KQ2 yet (link didn't work), but I heard it was awesome even without a voice pack. God, I won't be able to sleep at night. Not until I have the combination game+voicepack on my computer. And once I have it, I'll be forced to play it all night long. Arg, there goes my nightrest. <p></p><i></i>

Oh my god. oh my. oh my. I can't believe my eyes. Did you guys manage to get Josho again? I hope so. There are so many talking characters. This is gonna be awesome and i can't wait. ok sorry if i slowed things down. it's just i can't wait for this. I've been waiting for something like this for so long and i was hoping you'd do it. I'm just so happy. You don't need to respond to my ramblings. Consider me one happy gamer. <p></p><i></i>

PERFECT! But I'm not surprised. I have been expecting this. NOW it is obvious that Tierra will release all of the things that we really LOVE, like: KQ3, KQ4... and so on {at least I hope so}. And I'm sure each and every one of them will have a voice pack. <br><br>Tech question: This means that I won't be able to load my older saved games?<br> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://navynuke.netfirms.com/ezboard/vildern.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Of course it's a joke. Tierra always said that they won't make a speech pack. <p></p><i></i>

Actually, I have mixed feelings. I'm not going to be holding my breath. But I remember reading in interviews several of times that they had "tricks up their sleeves." Perhaps they waited to April 1st as a symbolic purpose, like, "We've been tricking you all this time, now we're going to tell you the truth!" kind of a thing. I don't know. I'm not holding my breath.<br><br>Also, not all countries have April 1st as their "trick day." Does Erpy know about it?<br><br>Plus, they need server space. I'm a little confused by this one. I'm going to play on the safe side, and say it's a joke., <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/bryce/pimpbot.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>----------<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/spongefactory/" target="top">Sponge Factory</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... kOofmay</A> at: 4/1/03 1:43:28 pm<br></i>

its on other forums too so I don't think its a joke, I mean tierra doesnt want to take that risk because people might be angry about it if it was a joke and you cant just pull a joke on your forum and then think its not going to reach others <p></p><i></i>

He's probably talking about the Just Adventure forums. That guy from the Inventory posted it there and the people who replied to it so far all fell for it. Hehehehe. <p></p><i></i>

Tis definetely a joke, these possible reasons why. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >: --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/mad.gif ALT=">:"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>1.) This would of been on the main page of Tierra<br>2.) There have been numerous reasons why KQ2 can't get a voice pack.<br>3.) Tis April Fool's day you daft fishes. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :x --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/sick.gif ALT=":x"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>But version 2.0 maybe believable, but you have been tricked by the one they call Erpy.

Milan, I posted it on the AdventureGamers board. I so don't hope this is just a joke. I know: If it was real and we can really expect voices soon, then they would be just great and sound absolutely professional. It would also increase the game experience even more, so it would really be great to play KQ2+ with voices.<br><br>*cough* <p>Das Jan<br><br>---<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.dasjan.de">www.dasjan.de</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> - <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.adventure-treff.de">www.adventure-treff.de</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

A speech pack?!?!?!?!?!!? COOL! Come on, guys, this can't be a joke. Erpy would never do that. Geez, I say it's for real. TRY and prove me wrong! I refuse to think that just because it's April Fools Day that Erpy would post something like that. Don't you know he HATES wasting space like that???

Facts or no, I believe I heard Erpy say once to watch out for this year's April Fool's day. If I'm wrong, sorry. But I seem to recall that being said.<br><br>This is not true. This is April Fool's. Why would he suddenly come out and say "Oh we have a voicepack now!" when every question ever asked about it before now has been said that it was impossible to do and would take MUCH longer than just a couple moths seeing as they have to redo the entire game script to fit the voicepack codes in.<br><br>Erpy is purposely not replying here because he wants to have fun watching us debate about this. I'm on to you, Erpy! I shall not be April Fooled! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Also he said to keep all the voicepack related questions in this thread. OBviously because this is the April Fool's thread. Nothing said in here means anything. Sorry to bust your bubble's, guys, but I'm positive it's a hoax. And if I'm wrong, oh well I'm wrong. But I don't believe I am. <p><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><br>"Requires MCGA, CGA, VGA, PGA, or TA-RA-RA-BOOMGA!!" <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>-Gary Owens, SQ4</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... nspired</A> at: 4/1/03 4:34:33 pm<br></i>

Hmmm... I don't know what to think. It is very suspicious that they would make such an announcement on April 1st. Especially after saying that a speech pack would never be released. But what if they were only saying that so that everyone would leave them alone about when it was coming out. If they had released the game and said that a speech pack would be released in a few months, they'd have never heard the end of it!<br><br>All in all, it's either a really good April Fool's Joke, or a very exciting announcement.
