It’s being put back because it’s not good enough to be released this year. So, like we all feared, giving a decent license to an average development team is STILL not a good idea.

Can you hear me Activision? Stop giving CoD to Treyarch!

I don’t mind about this, actually. All the ‘we’re throwing another team at it’ stuff was making me fear for its future. Perhaps they’re going to actually do it properly now.

Just as well. This Christmas was starting to look like a game of chicken played on railroad tracks…by freight trains.

Just a glance at my own list shows Halo, Alpha Protocol, Left 4 Dead 2, Bayonetta, Call of Duty, BioShock 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, Dragon Age, with Arkham Asylum as a warm-up act. Your own lists will vary of course.

The other bonus to these delays is that, once sprung into the new year, the games don’t have to gravitate around a 3 week period and can come out in their own time throughout what’s normally “Michael Pachter news season,” aka winter and early spring.

What’s for Xmas then? Halo, CoD and Dragon Age? Everything else seems pushed to 2010.

I’d put my money on Dragon Age: Origins if I were you, fearmonkey. Being me, I am pretty sure that at least I will.

I’m not bummed about it getting pushed back. If they can make it better by giving it extra time, im all for it. Christmas has such a glut of titles anyway, i’m happy to see some being pushed to later dates.
Who wants to go against Infinity Ward’s Modern warfare 2 anyways?
Now I have to hope that Risen, and Two Worlds 2 releases in 2009. I need at least one awesome RPG for the consoles in 2009.

It does Hunam.

I expect to see quite a few pushed back from fiscal 2009 even.

Hopefully we’ll get games right into summer, spread evenly.

Hopefully I will be somewhere other than this shitty country by then.

And Fallout 3 DLC for PS3 delayed until September…..very surprisingly, this is one of the the only sites that hasn’t posted that info yet…

Q1 2010 seems more busy than Christmas this year.

Haha, scary.

We’ve had a sudden jump-ship this fall.

Red Dead, Heavy Rain, MAG, Splinter Cell, Bioshock 2… Who’s next?

That’s significantly less shocking than what’s coming out of that hand.
