May 20th according to IGN. We really need game calendars on this website. IGN is the only site with a good one that I know of.

are you saying may 20th for Europe or NA?

 

cause May 23 is confirmed by UBI soft for Europ ,so it's more accurate than IGN


 U.S. of A.  IGN is bad for European dates, and just plain terrible for Japanese dates.  I don't even have any idea where to look for solid Japanese release dates...



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I really don't think many will buy this game or will have the money for it.

Some weeks before HAze release , GTA IV will be in stores and some weeks after the release MGS IV will be in the stores.

I have a feeling that gamers will choose first GTA IV and MGS IV.

I agree with you that the timing is really bad,,the delay was not such a good idea from the business point of view(missing that holiday rush)

but if they delay it again now to a month after MGSIV, they have to face a tough competition from sony:

 

killzone

Soccom

Resistance

 

so may is their only time to release this game eventhough it's still a bad time



 

 

 

since its finally locked, it could still do well. I think 1 more delay and it will offically fail.

I'd bet on a strong opening week of about 200-250k, but sales will fade quick. I think it will end up with just under 1 million.

 

Edit: If it had released in Nov. I would bet it'd have sold 1 million by now.

Edit 2: Even the Jan release date it would have sold 1 million. but not now.

 Hmm  August would be a good month so far I know Resistance and killzone will not be released before octobre.

And their is a Socom releasedate?






July seems like it would be a good month, at the very least because there would be enough space between most of the big games.  But I guess they can't afford to wait two more months.

i m buying it in 2 conditions:

good graphics(not over the top but not like the clips from summer)

good split sceeen and online co-op
 go to gametrailers and watch the recent video preview. it looks quite a bit better than the stuff shown before the delays.
