Lol. Well, Killzone 2 was announced for 2008. GG even had "Coming in 2008" on the front page of the Killzone 2 website for a month or two. :P

But February certainly is close to 2008. It's like DMC4's delay. Not much at all. Just enough to get in some extra polish.

Or enough to move a bad game clear of comparision to its far superior launch game-sequel competitor on the same platform......

 

 


Or maybe because it would be much harder to delay a game being developed by an independent developer than one eveloped in house?  :P

btw, on topic: no, I don't think Sony is delaying games because of hardware sales concerns. They admitted delaying Killzone to clear room for Resistance.

Lol. They are in-house for all practical purposes. Arn't they actually getting help from Sony's studios and being published by sony?

 

Edit:  I wonder if MikeB will get back to me.........

More info on KZ2's delay:

Just wanted to add a quick reply on the “delay” of Killzone 2 to Feb 2009. To be clear, there is nothing wrong or causing a delay to the development of the title. We (SECA) had to look at the fall calendar with SOCOM, LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Resistance 2, plus some PSN titles and make a decision where each game should come out. Killzone 2 was moved to Feb 2009 to make sure we didn’t have three shooters in the marketplace competing for retail dollars during the same holiday season. The game will be great and it will be out in Feb 2009 in both Europe and North America.

Hope this helps - alot of times we gamers read delay and think something is wrong, in this case, it was a pure management decision.


I wish Socom had been delayed instead. It certainly looks like it needs a few extra months of development. But with it planned for September, I guess you'd still have problems with Resistance and Killzone hitting November-ish even if it was delayed.
