At least is not vaporware

I'll admit it's possible, I just still don't see it as likely. Although I didn't know that the entire game had to be rated in order for trailers to be made; I thought the ESRB and similar groups just rated the proposed trailer itself. That's good to know.

And I concede it's possible that Motion Plus would add something extra to the game since, like everyone else, I have almost no idea what this game's about. Still, the chances strike me as slim, since Disaster's been in development for three years and change now: having such a last-second revamp for a game that was theoretically completed earlier strikes me as implausible. But not impossible.

As for the bolded sentence, was that a knock on Australia?

form what ive seen it seemd to have RE4 stlye gameplay so i dont think motion plus will be that usefull

Very interesting that if (IF?) the game is so final..There is no tidbit..not even a bit..Hard to believe that is is coming in a few months..

Well i have been wrong before

@noname: ESRB has the RP, rating pending, that means that you can show trailers before the game is rated (although i'd assume certain rules would apply to what you can show and what you can't). PEGI then again is self-regulating system and when the game is finished, you can put the rating to the trailer without any separate approval (i don't know how USK and the UK:s system work).
But the Australian system needs approval for the trailers and that's the reason why you see gaming sites reporting about the australian ratings so often.

The bolded was and wasn't, fits so well since everyone seems to forget australia these days. But it was more like a real situation that happens all the time inside companies. For example, when Reggie mentioned the game that was supposed to come to NA for christmas, i'd bet that someone forgot to tell Reggie it's not coming, since i doubt Reggie was talking about Animal Crossing.

I believe that if the game was pulled back (well, in Japan it was), and the reason isn't Motion Plus, it was because of strategic reasons. Production is upped to 2,3M a month, christmas definately sells every single one of them. But what's next? The after christmas lull. Production is high, demand is low and Nintendo needs to up the demand. If DDOC is the kind of title people seem to expect, it will target the "red ocean", ie PS360 gamers. Now when you combine this with the time when there's no big releases for any of the three, it's going to hit its target. Just like Nintendo did with Brawl.

@ bdbdbd

yeah that could be it. i mean look at animal crossing, its been finished for a while according to one magazine (forgotten the name, the one that showed sonic and the dark knight) and is being delayed until christmas to be the big bridge title.plus for hardcore nintendo could cover christmas

only problem with releasing disaster Q1 is that it will be up against conduit and madworld. not that i would complain:D

Why don't they release it now, since the hardcores are baying for blood and PS360 is comin out with some decent titles.
