if the ps team stays in the timeframe, we can expect a beta in about 3 months. so i was thinking, why not start collecting ideas for some beta events that either help improve the game, make some advertisement or help to know each other in the new community?
things that come to my mind:
- ps tourney double ko system
- try-to-break-the-game-contest
- beta or release parties in europe and usa
- trailer/teaser contest
- fun movie contest
- play the devs
- chat with the devs
- find the lakehouse easter egg race
- ...
hf brainstorming  :D

All have been thought about already, and nothing is currently really planned.
We'll have some stuff later probably.

As for "Chat with the devs", there's the Ask-the-Devs topic somewhere and I'm in the community xfire group. What more can you possibly want  ;D ???

haha that's true, you guys are already very communicative with the community.
nothing being planned on the dev side doesn't mean that the community won't put some effort in that direction. all those ideas sound productive and fun to me...

Those are good ideas to get the ball rolling. Although, I'm going to play PS to see what's glitchy/buggy anyways. It is the beta afterall ;)

Probably a lot of things will be buggy with the first release. That's where the beta testers and bug reporting comes in.

That's what I'm expecting. Not this perfectly molded simulation. We're here to help you. Its already enough that you guys have been working on this for a few years. I'm excited to see the outcome.

Are you going to have something directly in the beta lobby for reporting bugs, or do you just want us to come to the forum to report things?

3 months should be enough to get to beta, or at least close to it.
