[QUOTE="Danm_999"]If it needs the polish perhaps. But if it doesn't, there's no reason to hold back a title and have it dated when it's released.
Do you think Ocarina of Time would have been as critically acclaimed if it was released 2 years later? THEKING1337
uh-yeah Nope. Since the stuff it did wouldn't have been as revolutionary, it's visuals would be better, but ultimately would be more dated compared to games on more modern builds etc. Yes, there are plenty examples of games being released too soon, but games can easily spend too much time in development too, and then be dislocated experiences (ie, Kameo, looked great, played very much like a last gen platformer).

Personally, I'd rather buy a game with 6 months "too much" development, than one released 6 months too early. Also, considering how Nintendo creates in-house games, chances are OOT was "done" several months before being released.

Yes, that's probably true, but the idea of pushing Mass Effect back 9 months or so just to even out the calendar just seems like it'll do the game's impact more harm than good.

[QUOTE="Danm_999"] Yes, that's probably true, but the idea of pushing Mass Effect back 9 months or so just to even out the calendar just seems like it'll do the game's impact more harm than good. Its a Bioware game, it won't be released until its ready. It used to be an early 2007 release so they've already delayed it to polish it up a bit.

Games should be released when they're ready, unless there's a huge reason not to. Waiting a week or 2 on a title that's the exact same genre, on the same system makes a little sense. Waiting half a year?? No way. If 360 (or whoever) has finished games ready to ship Christmas 2007, there's NO reason to delay them.
[QUOTE="LabWarrior1"]I am sure they will polish 1000% before release, 2008 is for Mass Effect 2pundog
Imagine if they do release ME2 in 08 and ME3 in 09 and it three-peats for GOTY...
It would be totally possible, since they would not have to remake a new engine, dialog system, animations, setting, characters etc etc, just new content that would take only half or less the efford
If ME2 comes in 2008, will be at the years end though, not before

I don't see Bioware doing that, I think they want to do more than a simple update between versions.
No. No. No. No. All games can be polished they shine like a newborn baby's butt, but I don't care. They've been in development long enough. May is just fine, thank you. If you don't want it in May, wait till 2008 to buy your copy.
