Whatever happened to White Gold? Ya know, the follow-up to Boiling Point: Road to Hell from Deep Shadow.
Apparently it was released like back in last October in the CIS nations (as "Xenus 2: White Gold"), but I can't find any other information.

There's a pirate version out with a bad fan-made translation (russian->english).
I have to say that the game is very disapointing, the graphics is the same as Boiling Point and the gameplay, from the little time i spent with it, was very lacking. It feels, looks and plays like a very low budget game.

Last I heard they need a publisher for the rest of the world.

That suprises me. Boiling Point was a great game except marred by bugs and a few design flaws. But for a few problems it could have been up there with the best games ever on PC.

Yeah it's too bad this wasnt an updated version of BP, i'd love to play that.

I actually still play Boiling Point from time to time - IMO it's a badly under rated game. I've only ever had problems with the missing speech glitch - and once I did have my vehicle disappear - but apart from that it always plays fine for me too. The story is very straightforward but just immersing in the game and working on developing stats and resources as well as solving the plot is all really enjoyable - have had many memorable battles and still get a kick out of changing to AP ammo to shoot guard tower dudes thru the side panels etc.
It's evident they rushed Boiling Point into release - ie. the game and game world have lots of room for MUCH more content - ie. story development / sidequests - and overall it feels underpopulated and unfinished. Also, at the time BP came out really the only game to use "Ironsights" was Operation Flashpoint and CoD etc. - so crosshair shooting didn't bother me in a game like BP - but now having played SoC etc. I do miss ironsights in BP something terrible.
In fact, given SDK tools (topography, plants, buildings, vehicles and characters would have to be redone) I think very passable STALKER game reproductions could be made with the Xenus engine - ie. actual full game world maps without level changers - and with nifty extras like drivable vehicles and aircraft - ie. everything that's done in STALKER games with the Xray engine can be done with the Xenus engine - but they'd definitely have to put ironsights in.

Man, here I thought maybe White Gold was a codename for that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. patch that never came out.
