The 7 Worst Video Game Release Date Delays Of 2012

Lisa Eadicicco:

Video game delays are nothing new, but 2012 has certainly seen its share of disappointing setbacks. From title launches, to DLCs and full console releases, gamers shouldn't hold their expectation too high for some of these release dates. Enthusiasts have gotten a preview of what's to come with conferences such as E3 2012, the EA Summer Showcase, and Gamescom 2012, which kicks off tomorrow. But for some launches, the work that goes into crafting the final product may take developers and publishers longer than they projected.

Which of these delays bothers you the most? Check out our list of seven setbacks that have been announced for 2012.

The Last story is the worst delay. I can get over a delay that lasts a few quarters(you just forget about it until about two weeks until it releases) but The last Story has been pushed back about 4 times since it was announced to arrive in America this year. Not this week, it will release next week. Sorry, this was changed to next month etc.. The smaller waits are always the worst.

We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.

They said awhile ago that Ubisoft holds contract rights to the main flagship South Park games. So like stick, fractured and phone destroyer.

Snow Day was handled by THQ and Question and is a random spinoff. Hopefully Ubisoft is cooking something.

That's one reason to be hopeful, but Ubi is trending down too.

Loved the RPGs but never played the others. Have to track them down. Still not sure about Snow Day though.

The 7 Best South Park Games

The South Park series has somehow managed to stay relevant for over 25 years, but which are the best games based on the TV show?

cammers1995132d ago (Edited 132d ago )

The only two worth playing are Stick of truth and fractured but whole. The rest were garbage except snow day which I can't say anything about yet. But with that said, unlike stick and fractured which debuted as AAA full priced titles by ubisoft, snow day is a new developer and publisher and has a budget price at only $30 soooo
