In related news, the Xbox 360 version of the demo
which was scheduled to launch on the Xbox Live Marketplace last night has been
pushed back to a later time. 3DRealms president George Broussard had this to say
on 3DRealm’s website:
"I’m still waiting for specifcs (sic), but I’m
being told that it’s still in testing at Microsoft. From what I understand this
isn’t Microsoft’s fault, and is more likely just an issue of timing.
"I’m hesitant to give any estimates for a
release, but I’ve been told it should be reasonably soon after the PC release,
but could be as long as a few days."
More news on this as it develops.
