Stranglehold's PS3 delay ONLY for Euro version. US version still on track for September 17.

From GAF

"This is for the Euro version BTW. I received that press release also. As of last night, Midway North America informed us that:

Quote:
The full version of Stranglehold is currently expected to ship on August 27th for the Xbox 360 and PC, and September 17th for the PlayStation 3. PC and PlayStation 3 demos coming soon. "

"To be thorough, I just contacted Midway U.S. and got the following response:

Quote:
I can confirm that Stranglehold is shipping on 8/27 for X360 and PC and 9/17 for PS3 here in the U.S. If you have any questions, please let me know. "

[Vip3r]

What a surprise, we're getting the shaft yet again.

[Azures]

Price for living outside the Empire (USA)

[Vip3r]

Well I guess it's worth it then. :p

[DrPirate]

Vip3r, Canada speaking here. Just gotta say that is one of the best comebacks I have ever read in my life.

You win. Bubbles for you.

[tplarkin7]

My experience in traveling the world as an American:
- People think that Americans are the very kind.
- People first ask if you are Canadian because they don't want to face the wrath of a Canadian that is called an American by mistake.

Canadians are a strange breed. They imitate the American lifestyle, yet insult Americans every chance they get.

[DrPirate]

I'm aware this is off topic. But I'm Italian studying in Canada.

and I don't hate Americans. I have plenty of international friends, including some family that lives in the United States.

I just thought Vip3r's comment towards the "American Empire" was quite humourous that's all.

[masterg]

@tplarkin7

If that is what you think people in the world thinks of America you need to see the world.
I guess the best way to put is ... People fell about the US the way you guys fell about the French.

I personally have no problem with the US (Other than your President and the 51% who elected him).

[SmokeyMcBear]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[XxZxX]

Euro should get Killzone 2 first. I'm in NA but i think Euro need some love.

[LSDARBY]

yet again europe gets shafted

[aaquib2]

Im tired of all these XBOT fans trying to down PS3. Sheesh, that's all they do. It's like they have no games to play, or their console is on its 15th repair cycle.

[Daz]

lol same on both sides your just as bad, how much as ps3 fanboys downplayed the 360 then? sh1t loads maybe? i think so

[trane07]

You shouldn't be talking, you were probably one of the main clowns talking that damn mess over it.

[Ignorant Fanboy]

So I dont care when it comes out for the PS3.

[AnDy FrOm MiAmi]

thank god us is still getting it in the 17 but i feel your pain europe i feel you pain!

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Screw NA :/ why we always get late releases!!!! ITS RACISISM!

PS. At least we get better qaulity, thanks for beta testers in NA

[THE_JUDGE]

if only everyone could speak the same language and all that would prolly help but I don't see that happening anytime ever. I'm laughing sooo hard at the Xbots thinking it wasn't coming out in the US til way late in the year, hardy har.

[InMyOpinion]

1 out of almost all multi titles that does not get delayed for the PS3. Whopee!

[Captain Tuttle]

even follow the link? It's a POST in a thread by one guy. I think we should wait for something a little more solid.

Edit: Just saw the edit up above. 1up is solid enough for me. Too bad for Europe though.

[DrPirate]

Gaf in my opinion, is very solid. I've been a solicitor there for many many months now.

[Watkins]

Nice, us europeans get some more love...

[Tommie]

So now all of a suddon its not bad anymore? Stranglehold on PS3 is still delayed, US or not.

[DrPirate]

Yeah but who cares, 2 weeks wait and we get the high definition version of Hard-Boiled? Seems worth it to me, and it's nothing like the crazy 6 month delays like Oblivion and Rainbow 6: Vegas.

[Anything but Cute]

Start reporting real news.

[Tommie]

What I reported was not false and double checked with Midway, so don't blame me for the news. We got the press release which said the Xbox 360 and PC version were going to be released on August 27. No word of the PS3 version, so I contacted Midway why there was no mention of the PS3 version. Few hours later I recieved a reply from Craig at Midway and he said that Stranglehold on PS3 has no specific releasedate, but it would definitely be released this year.

If you don't believe me, I can forward the mail to you if you want.

[ParaDise_LosT]

The game is stilled delayed for NA...
Its set 17 in NA too :P

[Daz]

Fansboys quickly got a fread to counter the last fraed even from some guy saying it in a forum lol.

[DrPirate]

Wow all that fanboy bickering in the original delay news post for nothing.

OMG PS3 DEVELOPMENT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAIT BEYOND ETC.

I won't ever deny that multiplatform games are better on 360, but tone it down just a little. See it wasn't that big of a deal in the first place.

[aaquib2]

To Captain Turtle:

[Daz]

That that should of been posting instead of some guy saying it in a forum lol

[s8anicslayer]

another rumor shot down,but to bad for europe

[Anything but Cute]

More of this and I need to LEAVE n4g.com, the other delay post got over 100 comments of fanboys b*tching. It shows hot silly and fickled the site still is.

[reaferfore20]

I've played this game's demo on the 360 and on the PC (with a 360 controller for some reason) and all I've got to say is that this game isn't as good on the 360. I don't know why, it just didn't seem to control as good on the 360 even though I was playing with a 360 controller on the PC. The graphics were almost the same, but the PC version runs a lot smoother. (Maybe it's because it was running on a ridiculous monster of an alienware computer) Either way the 360 demo is still entertaining and I'm awaiting a ps3 demo to see if it has the same differences. If you own a top of the line PC get this game. You won't be disapointed.

[trane07]

I guess all the "xbox360 rocks" banners and all that other "THIS IS WAITING HA HA" crap that the trolls made fun of can now be thrown into the dirt. Good. Thats what you xbot trolls get for talking so damn much.

[Daz]

still other delayed thought not just one game out there.

[trane07]

Thats not the issue daz and for you to throw it in the ps3 users face like we don't already know makes your dumbass look like a damn troll. Stranglehold isn't delayed, which makes it more accessible for for gamers of all kinds to play. You throwing the un-necessary "STILL GAMES DELAYED" issue into the air for no reason is stupid, but then again dumbass people do dumbass things. Dont be "that person" daz. You seem like a smart guy.

[Daz]

I was only saying does it offend you? LOng as the games are good does it matter when they come out is just some people on this site take things to heart to often, and just need to chill out a bit.

[ALIEN]

This game will be fun.

By The Way: "360fans" please don't tell me we (PS3fans) have to wait, wait n wait. At least we get good quality, while ya have to keep fixing your 360, cuz it keeps breaking. And we don't have to wait no more, cuz we have a tons of games coming out for the PS3, and don't be surprise if SONY buys ROCKSTAR GAMES.

[teh_bear]

Europe is like cell processing. Way too many different parts, too hard to port to.

[LSDARBY]

QUESTION: Is the US version of Stranglehold region free, cus i heard it wasnt?
thanks if someone answers

[inuyasha89]

yep it is region free.

[LSDARBY]

Thanks alot mate

[achira]

has someone noted that in the hypemeter they downgraded killzone 2 ? it had over 31000 points, now it is under 30000. and why did halo 3 get some thousands of points ? there were no news about that game, but they were news about killzone 2, but it got a lower score ? seems that this is a xbot site.

[okcomputer]

rofl 7 out of 10 titles on the list are ps3 games, but one little change in the order all of the sudden makes this an xbox site. Grow up already lol

[jay3]

Jesus christ. Quit your b1tching!

If anything this is a Gaystation site so...shaddap.

God! I'm starting to get a lot more pissed at the Gaystation fanboys than the 360 fanboys.

What you posted is the stupidest, most blatant jealous fanboy comment i've ever seen.

"People look at Halo page ZOMG! Oh, i forgot, XBOT SITE! MEGA LOLZ!"

Everyone just quit it. I don't mind people actually talking about this stuff, but it's retarded comments like that that get under my skin.

[achira]

yeah i know that, but where are the points ? can someone answer me the question, if not i tend to believe that this page is biased.

[Captain Tuttle]

If I could give you 15 bubbles for that post I would. It's because he's 12. Once school starts here in the States things will settle down around here, at least during the day.

Have a bubble.

[jay3]

All i'm doing is shooting guys in the balls with
Precision Aim.

Awesome =D

[ALIEN]

This game will be great. I've played the demo too.

[ThaGeNeCySt]

at least this is great news for US

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Sorry for your luck.

Try to refrain from taking shots at Americans though. We didn't delay the game.

[MK_Red]

Awesome find and news, Hard Boiled HD, here I come!

[alexander22rednaxela]

This will hurt sales and pre-orders and demand.

[ParaDise_LosT]

movie is also just for US too......
EU got screwed over ._.

[Bathyj]

Maybe the EU delay is to get the movie ready, so everyone can get it.

[texism]

is N4g even moderated anymore? Why is this in the Wii section?

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

You guys want some whine with your cheeze?

[Keyser]

You said that backwards,

It's "Do you want some cheese with your whine?"

[Shaka2K6]

' ' is N4g even moderated anymore? Why is this in the Wii section? ' '

To turn this into neogaf and get all the wii fanbois over here speaking their crap againts Sony.
Lame.

[jinn]

another bad excuse for europe. it has recently been getting consoles after us as well as some games.

[xaphanze]

I bet the 20 days extra are just to work on the extra content.

[cooke15]

Why is this in the Wii section? who approved this?

[PS3rd place]

Enjoy waiting and waiting.. and enjoy my DELAYS!!!

[unsunghero28]

Hey, PS3.

I just wanted to say that you're doing a great job. I know it's tough being the uber-expensive high-tech beast of the market, but somehow you've managed to hang in there, and for that I respect you.

Also, I'd like to say that I think your KillZone2 is miles ahead of Halo 3. Really, if I wanted Master Chief with THOSE graphics I'd still be playing Halo 2. Am I right? Eh? Eh?

Anyway, yeah. Glad we could have this chat. It's really cool you signed up with N4G! I'll remember to give you my feelings on your status every time I see you.

Much love!

[Bordel_1900]

For every day that goes, I'm more convinced that Xbots are retarded morons.

Xbots were so happy when they thought Stranglehold for PS3 was delayed. Every stupid xbot out there was fireing of that the PS3 is a monster to develope for, that their beloved x360 is so much better and easier to develope for. They regurgitated all kinds of imbecile nonsense.

Now, it turns out that the Stranglehold for PS3 is not delayed for the US only EU. Eat your own crap xbot morons.

[Keyser]

I'm not going to be as graphic as you Bordello but the fanboyism on this site is ridiculous. I've never seen so many people looking forward to bad news. I mean this isn't tanboyism anymore. This is just plain 'hatin' for the sake of hatin.

Both systems have good attributes. I prefer the PS3 but I own a 360, no big deal. I don't want the 360 to fail because it does have good games and keeps Sony on their toes like every company should be.

Quit hatin...both camps.

[Aunty]

So we europeans don´t cry especially much ;)

[violentl8466]

im in the us and im still gonna b to busy playing Madden, Warhawk,Lair, and Heavenly soword lol so no time for this game lol
