Sorry if old.

Found this in Kotaku.

The release of Tecmo Koei's "TPS" Quantum Theory appears to have hit a rough patch, with the publisher-developer announcing that the game will not make its scheduled March 25 release date in Japan due to quality reasons.

As of right now, per Tecmo Koei's announcement, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 third-person shooter is listed a "TBA" with no new firm release date. That delay applies to the North American release date as well, Tecmo Koei reps confirmed, meaning that the previously penciled in March release window is now unlikely.

Again, based on our own hands-on time with the game at Tokyo Game Show, more quality can't hurt.

Tecmo Koei also issued a similar delay to the PlayStation 3 role-playing game Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll (aka Trinity: Zill O'll Zero), citing quality concerns.

Well, it actually is good for players, because Tecmo Koei is delaying Quantum Theory to "improve quality". It's just not good for Tecmo Koei.

The stock prices for Tecmo Koei Holdings dipped 9.5 percent, and the company slashed its operating profit forecast by 97 percent. Ouch.

This is the latest in a series of bad news for Tecmo Koei. The company recently posted its third quarter total profit earnings, which were ¥1.84 billion (US$20.3 million) in the red. The company took losses on Wii title Sangoku Musou 3.

After Namco Bandai, another Japaneses Game Publisher and Developer is facing financial problem.

Delay is good news to Gamer as long as there is improvement of game but the fact that it hurts the Company is Ouch!!

Anyway , what do you think the improvement will be??

The game looks terrible, even if the combat turns out okay, the environments are as monotonous as heck.

I'm happier this way, better to have a complete game than a game that could have been so much better if it had a bit more polish.

I think Koei Tecmo is more about multiplatform game developer

especially now they are facing financial problem

so do not be surprise that Trinity will come to 360 as well.

That's great to hear, because the videos we saw looked pretty crappy with dumb a.i., framerate issuses, etc.

Looks like they've also realised the potential in this game.

Sure it wont set charts alight but i think it'll be a good straight up action game in the same vein as RE5, Stranglehold etc.

I don't really understand people and their problems with rip offs. A good rip off of a good game is obviously another good game. It's not like most games nowadays constantly invent new things. The only problem is that this game doesn't look like a good rip off but a pretty crappy one.
