Question in regards to this.
For all of us Europeans (I'm in UK) who purchased a Digital Download, does this mean we will have local distributers to obtain our hard copies of the manual, music cd and game by paying the differance, or will it still have to be shipped form the us?

Our team of www.soase.de created already a translated version of SoaSE quite some time ago (was a fan project) and will prolly be used as base for the real localization of Sins by Kalypso.


Doubtful due to legal issues.

Hope Europe's release doesnt suffer from the same problem as Australia.

It has delayed to 25th of April.

That special deal is only available direct. I don't think retailers would be too keen on parting with a box for $5.

I bought it from the states and had it shipped to england practically the same week it was released, think i was waiting this long? HA! Think again!

Congratulations on finding a publisher in Europe however, maybe now all my friends will go out and buy them instead of been intimidated by Digital Distribution, or in my case, old fashioned and a lover of having about 30 games under my desk

So, will the various versions of sins (language) be compatible with all the others in MP?

the language files dont affect MP. I already played online with a german version for example (the language file doesnt change the checksum).

Great.......Now the other side of the world will be able to buy a half-assed(put together) game and experience non-stop minidumps. The game is awsome and hopefully they will fix that problem before they sell others a "works only sometimes" game.

He might be interested to know that there is an unofficial french version made by people at http://trans-galactique.forum2jeux.com/
