Agree... Although on the up side, now I can get Uncharted and Assassin's Creed without worry, as I was only going to get 2 games in november anyways.

And I was also gonna get UT3 on pc, but im sure this delay will kill UT3 on ps3... Most probably many were going to get it on PS3 because of it being released way ahead of xbox, and together with pc, but now that its also delayed, why wait when you can play on PC.. for cheaper i might add.

Bad for the PS3, but good for me. Now hopefully I will not go completely broke this fall. I will now be able to give my credit card a little rest, and just go broke in the spring now. Awesome.

It's not sony's fault that the people making the games over estimated what it would take to put out a new game with ps3 tech. You can't just use old school programers and expect them to know how to program next gen games properly.

This seems very unique to the software industry and to games industry specifically. I mean you don't see movies getting delayed right? I wish there was some kind of a penalty for the developers that delay a game with an approved release date. I mean we as consumers shouldn't be treated like a bunch of junkies who will just wait in any case. I'm not saying work faster I'm saying dont' give me date commitments unles you are 100 certain that you will deliver. Any thoughts?

i agree with the above. Giving false dates is very annoying, and it only seems to happen in the gaming industry. Plz, devs, wait until you have a 100% of a release date before giving it to us. False hope is the worst thing imaginable lol.

Yeah, it pisses me off too, but in the end, I don't (or shouldn't) really care.. I mean, I don't have enough cash to buy more than one game before the holidays (this cost me TOO MUCH, so much gifts to make :(... and pay). But still, assassin's creed is in a long way. What I find depressing is that the 1st half of 2k8 will have SO MUCH GAME, that I won't even be able to buy them all :@ ANd that pisses me off even more sinceI just got my ps3, so I'm still having a lot of fun with motorstorm (the impossible game) and I'll have fun for a good time, and if I want even better games, I just have to play warriors orochi (wichI have) or wild arms 5 (wich I still haven't finished yet). And at worse, I still love the demos, lol, like the GRAW2 demo (real fun, and it's long), the GT HD concept game (fun and I only unlocked one car (2 cars in total)), the gundam warriors game (really fun, even if it's gundam, still, I wouldn't buy the game, lol), the dirt demo (some fun), and tomorrow is the "launch" of the bladestorm demo :S What can I ask? So I'll wait till the good games pops (early 2k8) and play assassin's creed (the best game of the last 2 years I'm sure, I'm a prince of persia lover :D ) in november :D

It's a bit frustrating, however I always try to look at positive side. If the game is delayed I'm hoping it's to work on it more to get a good finished product.

In the end if the game is rushed, it will sell bad and we as gamers will suffer as well. I really don't mind the wait as long as the final product is a good title. I'm sure this holiday season those games that were meant to come out in time won't be able to is also a pain for developers and publishers.

They are missing the income profit for betterment of the game quality, I have to give them credit for that.

I'd like to have games out in time, but sometimes things get complicated I guess.

Let developers take their time, just release a good game I say ^_^

Delays aren't bad. It means instead of devlopers shoving out unfinished products (looking at you KOTOR 2) They decided to take the extra time and finsh the game, which is alright by me. Besides theres tons of stuff coming out this winter.... well as of now anyway...DepressedHippie
GRAW 2, R6V and splintercell DA were all delayed months and they dont look or play better than their counterparts, the only case that was true in is oblivion in which the developers used the hdd to cache data so the experience was much better than the 360.

Eventhough, i agree with you partially. There is an upside to the delays. This can possibly mean that the game is not ready yet to be released or they need to optimize it to its best performance for the PS3. I rather wait a little longer than getting a glitchy game.

Also, it is not Sony's fault that it's delayed, it is the developers. Get your facts straight.

Those games are excluded because they are from UBISOFT, the laziest developers ever. Please don't compare UBISOFT to Unreal Tournament.

It's Sony fault for another company's delay? Not very logical.

Prince of Persia went down hill after The sands of time. I'm sorry, i still think majority of them are lazy. They are like EA now. Everything they do are multiplatform.
