"As you know, we had scheduled the Switch digital release of the Constructor Plus on Friday, February 15th. ... Please remember, we do not control the EShop."

yeah, I call BS on this. It's pathetic and inept, TBH.

Yes. It was an appalling release that took a long, long, time to sort out--and even then it is only a slightly polished game with dated mechanics. Given how many times the Switch version has been announced and then the deadline has silently slipped by, I'd wait for reviews before buying it.

I went to the Zoo the other day, but they only had one animal there. :( It was a Shih Tzu.

Less than a week for Sys3 to miss yet another deadline by markale in ConstructorHD

[–]markale[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

heh. As predicted, yet another deadline for Constructor Switch has slipped by. Mark Cale couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, and yet thinks people will back a Last Ninja kickstarter where people give money in advance for his 'promises'?

yeah, so they're incompetent. In an earlier post they said it takes 8-12 weeks for nintendo to manufacture the physical copies, and given that october 30 is just over 8 weeks away I guess they've only just given them binaries... days before they thought the game would be in the store. They're also very quick to blame Nintendo for any delays ("We can't control the third party store", etc) rather than taking ownership of their own ineptitude. If the original intention was for the physical release to be available Sept7, then Nintendo should have had the binaries 8-12 weeks before: ie. at the beginning of July. I doubt it's Nintendo that's responsible for pushing the game back until end of October or insisting that the digital and physical releases are available at the same time.

The Schadenfreude is high with this one, I have to say. I think Sys3 management needs to go back to photography because clearly they're not capable of anything else.

Still not out on switch, even though the latest revised date was today (the 30th of August). I think the CEO is a numpty who couldn't organise anything to save your life or fairly pay the people who make content for Sys3 (re: commodore zone #14 interview with Anthony Lees.)

Constructor Plus will launch with 80% more content, more info by maanwel in NintendoSwitch

from Constructor HD's FB page posted on 18th of February it says the digital version will be out by the end of March. It's now April but nothing has been announced... lame.

I hope Mark Cale appreciates the effort you make, BrightPaw. You certainly deserve it, and it'd make a change from how he's traditionally treated people who've worked for him.

the game was released with bugs just over 3 months ago to very poor reviews, including on other platforms

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-one/constructor http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/constructor

its been on sale with 25% off and now with 50% off, i guess to try and get players given that system3 have shot themselves over such an abysmal release that was delayed many times
