I always though a game needs to have an official release date before it can be delayed. Wasn't KZ2, GT5 and GOW3 release dates just speculated because they had long development times and a solid release date was never announced. I could be wrong but I've followed these games and I don't remember any release date announced before the dats they released/are releasing on. I heard something about a japanese release date for GT5 but was that an official announcement.

KZ2 was actually pegged for Fall 08 by SONY but was pushed back since they had Socom in September and Resistance in Nov, and the usual flock of holiday shooters.GG and SONY stated the game could have been released Fall 08, but It made sense to delay it.
GoW3 was never really delayed. That a release date was never announced before the actual release just like you said.
GT5's been delayed in Japan I believe but that's about it. Never had a release date anywhere else.

Yeah but with KZ2 did it actually have a release date before the proper February 2009 release. I remember Sony and GGs saying at the Playstation Day in London they where moving Killzone 2 to February from fall but I don't remember an official release date being announced.

Nope, never an actual release date. SONY only gave it a time frame.

Yeah thats what I though. Delays are when a release date is given and then moved to a later date.Like the recent Two Worlds 2, LBP2 and Gears 3 delays. I don't mind waiting for games with long development times but when release dates are announced and then delayed it pisses me off a lot.
On a side note. I know quite a few PS3 games get delayed but every other system suffers from game delays aswel. If a developer thinks a game isn't ready then the game isn't ready. I'd much rather have it delayed than have it freeze constantly on me or suffer screen tearing and framerate drops.
