Title: Gray Matter leaked 3 months before release.
Post by: xenogia on Thu 11/11/2010 03:06:42
Poor Jane seems Gray Matter has been leaked three months before release by the scene group RELOADED.  I wonder if this means they will push it out sooner than expected.

Wow, what a crap!!! After all those problems during the production of this game.
But I rather wait for it's official release - and if it's only to satisfy my own personal illusion that
I do my small bit so that Jane keeps on creating games, rather than writing novels! :P

Where did you get that info from Xenogia?

It's all over the pirate sites waiting for people to download.  I'm holding off myself as well.

All right! I'm slightly confused now. Gray Matter is out since TODAY in Germany.

All sources state that the original language: is German AND English.

Will try to find out whatever that really means - if that were really true indeed, there wouldn't be any point in waiting until February!

From further reading it is german voice actors with english subtitles.

Just to be clear, it's not THIS RELOADED (http://www.reloaded.org/index.php).  We will never support pirated games.  

But I do feel for Jane.   :(

It is English voices with English subtitles.
At least the version I played.

Yes, to be absolutely clear here:

I'm talking about the official release of the German version by Gray Matter's official publisher dtp entertainment (...a lot of official stuff! :P)

Collector's Edition (http://shop.dtp-entertainment.com/index.php?link=detail/B003ZHIDL8)

Standard Edition (http://shop.dtp-entertainment.com/index.php?link=detail/B0023ZJMQI)

The official press release statement of dtp entertainment (http://forum.dtp-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?f=41=17016) states that the official release date is due tomorrow, 12.11.2010.
However, distribution logistics left aside, some stores seem to have it in stock as of today, since a few people on the Gray Matter forum were able to obtain a copy already.

@Al_Ninio
Since you have played it Al_Ninio, can you confirm that the aforementioned public release includes English voice acting?
If an answer to this question "compromises your personal integrity"...mhh...maybe just reply with a bunch of funny, nonsensical ASCII signs???...ahhh, stunningly brilliant idea!..meh :P ::)

From what I've heard the release date was pushed back to the 26th November. The reviewers got their copies though, and that's how the game got leaked probably.

EDIT: Nah, I was wrong about the date. It's released tomorrow in Germany and on the 26th in a few other countries.

Well, since the mystery of the leak is solved now (the insidious bastards were using SHOPS) can we change the topic of this thread to "Hey, German people. Is Gray Matter any good?"
Title: Re: Gray Matter leaked 3 months before release.
Post by: Tramponline on Thu 11/11/2010 23:02:37
Well, the crux of the matter is this:

According to an dtp official at their forum [Link] (http://forum.dtp-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?f=120=16940&p=180391#p180391)(and several German test magazines) the German version includes English voice acting!

That means, if we can cope with a german manual and boxart, we would be able to purchase Gray Matter, the original English version, as of today!

Sorry for pushing this point, but for me that would mean my Christmas holidays are sorted!!! ;D

As I've mentioned before (see links post above) the official shops of amazone and dtp entertainment state the game's original language as German and English!

If anyone has any additional info it would be really grand to see some sources for it, just to avoid turning this thread into a hearsay witchhunt :P!

No, no, there's no need for you to apologize!
It was my fault, not to tell this little, but (for to understand my post) essential detail.

I promise to think about setting a link directly next time.
I'm still a newbie on this and learning  :)

I have it here and can confirm:
In the German version (at least in the Collector's Edition) you can switch between German and English talkie/subtitles.

Is there any talk of a North American release?

The problem with Grey Matter is not Jane Jensen
An executive who has an overbearing personality, thought that it was better his way.
He interfered and delays occured to institute his changes.
Jane has made some of the best all-time adventure games.  All he managed to do is cut into the profits by requiring extra work.
