5 Most Painful Delays of The Year So Far

CVG- 2012 is definitely the year of video game delays. Over the past eight months a heart-aching number of games we expected to be playing have been knocked down the calendar. The latest example is PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Sony's brawler having seemingly been hit with a one month delay.

It's the most painful delay in the history of gaming for me. It's made worse by recent news.

I really want them to do a port of Luigis Mansion 2 to the Wii U...that sequel deserves a console release. We've been waiting for one for so long and it only gets the handheld treatment.

Robochobo4266d ago

Aliens Colonial Marines, and Bioshock Infinite were the two that hit me with a low blow when announced.

modesign4266d ago

i can think of 5 better games than that

1. Last of US (not really delayed, just not yet 100% confirmed release date)
2. Assasins Creed3 (not delayed but oct is a long ass time)
3. Farcry 3
4. watchdogs (not YET delayed, but no definitive release date).
5. Last Guardian (indefinitely delayd, on life support, and coding).

DEATHxTHExKIDx4266d ago

half those games arent even delayed...just no relase date and I wouldnt expect them to have a realese dates so soon after there announcments. Except Last guardian which has taken a huge amount of time in developemnt.

Tokyo_reject4266d ago

Lol i'm sorry but fail.
1. like Death said....they haven't been delayed, just no release date. (we all know you just edited the post you posted.)
and 2....for you to say that games which we've never played before is a more painful delay then one of the greatest games i've ever played *Bioshock*....is a complete joke. NON of those games even touch Bioshock, even Luigis Mansion lol.

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.

cammers199521d ago

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.

anast21d ago

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 Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire9554d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro54d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot54d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist54d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx54d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic188154d ago (Edited 54d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire9554d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist54d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp54d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg54d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion54d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
