A nice video of some of the gameplay in the Russian release:

Unfortunately it has not gotten a lot of press, so that is not good for them. The only detailed review I could find was from this forum thread:
http://www.resurrection-studios.net/smf/index.php?topic=8324.0
Still, Akella is still doing a lot of post release development work (including some speculation that they are adding a proper free-roam mode) so waiting a little bit for things to cool down might be a good thing when it comes to Linux/Mac and the console ports.
I am thinking I will contact Vince again in January after things cool down a bit, I have a few things I want to ask him.

If they can not even get the Windows version up to scratch, Linux and Mac now certainly look to be out of the question. Things seem to have spiraled out of control even from all of the chaos last year, and it looks like the game is basically dead.
To make matters even worse, RWS has even been having others giving them headaches.
The good news?
Well, as was reported earlier, all of the Linux friendly Postal titles are now up on Desura, with Postal 2 itself getting an updated port (thanks to Ryan Gordon again) with better widescreen support and sound fixes. And with all the recent Kickstarter fever, people have even been trying to push RWS to go down that route for their next title.
And if there is a new game coming up, it will probably be a remake of the orginal Postal:
So, if you think this is a good idea you can give them some encouragement in this forum thread:

As someone who has derived many hours of fun from their games and has had the honour to correspond with Vince Desi (one of the most open and patient people in the entire industry) on several occasions, I sincerely wish RWS the best of luck in their future efforts.
It is only a shame that Postal III had to end this way....

I love kickstarter but I hate people using it for remakes.
If I want to contribute and help your project I want an original game and not something that I've played 10-20 years ago but with better graphics.
Thats the main reason I didn't pledged to "Larry 1 with better graphics".
Shame they use the source game engine, it smelled bad from the start.
Hey their others games do which are awesome and on Desura so i don't hate them, i will be picking up Postal 2 to play through someday since P1 was awesome.

But now if they want to make a remake of Postal1 I would probably won't donate.
Do something original.

P.S
Hamish, aren't you a little too young (under-aged) to post in RSW forums ;) ?

I can understand that they want to work with an engine they are familiar with, especially since they are a bit in the hole. It is really Epics fault more than anyone elses.
Still, I hope they can decide to change their tune. If I was them, I would not want to be licensed or involved with anyone.
Everybody tries to screw them... which is why they made Apocalypse Weekend. ;)

But the sounds are very cool "kill me, I'm dying" ;)
