Forums - Sony - Update: Simpsons Arcade Delayed till next week due to XBL....

Aww, we have to wait another day cause of that stupid xbox policy.... I'm really excited to play this game and it sad that we have to wait an extra day to play, but i guess it's not that big of a deal. Well, unless the 7th was your last day to game or you died just before the game came on the store..... I like being over dramatic =p



Playstation All-Stars is one of the best games I've played this gen, and is the most fun I've had in a game this gen.

its MS's policy to protect the interests of their gamers with multiplats in 2 ways:

1. They must have the same content on disk. This refers to retail only multiplats. L.A Noire is one such example.

2. Multiplats must release on the same day, if not timed exclusive for 360.

I believe this falls under #2. I for one am glad MS takes the time to secure multiplats like this to have a same day release. I for one will be purchasing Simpsons Arcade. Was a great childhood memory.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

WTF is up with that giant wall of text?
Fix it or no one is going to read it.

Yes how great of them, now while you still have to wait a week at least everybody else does too!

I know you already confessed to hating Sony, not that you hide it anyway, but can microsoft ever do any wrong in your eyes?



I cannot wait to play this again! I remember playing this, and Killer Instinct in the arcades! Now if we can only get KI in the picture....



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Update: UPDATE: Delay so launch is "in-line with game's release on XBL". UPDATE:Sony has explained the delay of The Simpsons Arcade."Konami have contacted us this morning and informed us that The Simpsons Arcade will need to publish on February 8th to be in line with the game's release on Xbox Live Arcade and in SCEA," Sony's Ross McGrath wrote on the EU PS Blog. "Unfortunately, this is not something I have the power to change and it means you won't be able to get your hands on The Simpsons until next week - February 8th. "Believe me, I'm as disappointed as you are. The game will still be available for four weeks, so the new removal date will be March 7th, when we refresh the Plus update. "The rest of the February Plus refresh will go ahead as planned and we will keep Back to the Future: The Game in there for one extra week so you're not flying 'gameless'." ORIGINAL STORY:The launch of The Simpsons Arcade on PlayStation Network has been delayed, Sony has announced. The retro classic was supposed to go live today for PlayStation Plus subscribers. No explanation for the delay was given. "Sadly, we are now unable to publish The Simpsons Arcade until next week, Wednesday 8 February, and not today as listed," reads an update on the EU PlayStation Blog. "We apologise for getting you excited about playing it too early but, rest assured, it will still be available to PS Plus members at no extra cost for a full four weeks." Sony has extended the 100 per cent discount on Back to the Future: The Game for an additional week "by way of small compensation".

money, people. thats all it is money. dont take so personal!!



I suspect there will be a lot of people pissed that the game got delayed because of Microsoft. I also suspect that a lot of these pissed of people were never going to buy the game, anyway. Look at it this way--would you release your product to an audience for free or would you release it to a paying audience first (it's gonna cost XBL users) and then release it for free?

They're gonna make more money with the Xbox version. There's no doubt about it.
