Somehow I doubt this was delayed because of Resistance 2. Microsoft launched a bevy of first party titles late last year. I think it is because Killzone 2's development has fallen behind.

 

I think it might be for KZ2 development time but then wasn't KZ2 due to release last year ? I think it wouldn't be right to associate the problem with a cause just yet , espeicaly without any inside info .

With as many delays as it had already had (wasn't it supposed to be a 2006 game?) I wouldn't be surprised if it was another delay. In the minds of the producers the sooner they can get that game out the door and stop bleeding money the better.

Well, since this thread is rumour-based, there is all the talk from surfer girl about blowing out budgets and gameplay that is gimped beyond the point of return (something they may hope to change with a delay).

Also, DMeisterJ sent me this link:

If they are delaying the game and bringing new developers in, they may have lost faith in GG and are trying to save a bad game.  But if thats what they are doing, the development budget must be approaching astronomical levels.
