Atari: Daggerdale to miss May 31 PSN launch, game may fall into publishing queue [update]

Atari addressed fans waiting for the PS3 version of Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale today, announcing on Twitter that the game would miss its planned May 31 launch on the platform. The reason stated, however, is far more interesting than the news of a delay -- according to Atari, it "looks like Playstation Network is not gonna be ready for #Daggerdale release on 5/31."

Tons of demos and games delayed on PSN.Its a shame.

From what I've seen and heard, who cares. This game is getting 5/10's around the board.

It's not just reviewers...users think it's crap too.

Sucks cause I was looking forward to it, but crappy games are crappy games.

Looks like it had potential too, they should take this opportunity to ...finish the game...*gasp*

It's not going to make the 5/31 date because they're not going to release the entire backlog of PSN stuff at once, they're going to stagger it over a few weeks, which is probably a good idea.

Also, I'm just going to pick this up on Steam anyway if I get it at all. Reviews so far haven't been stellar, but I do like the style of gameplay, so I might still grab it.

I doubt the store will b up by then, prob has nothing to do with a months worth of games releasing at once. I hope the ps store is up but might b a while.

Three weeks ago I commented something like....

"If Sony thinks it'll take 'em 2 weeks to restore the PSN, they should tell everyone it'll be up in 6 weeks. That way, when they miss their 2 week internal deadline, they can take twice as much time to fix everything and and when it is fixed 4 weeks later, the public will love them for 'beating' their six-week public estimate."

Oh, the things I was called.

If Sony had done that, just imagine how different things would be today. Instead of Sony gamers being irate, confused, and dissatisfied with Sony... instead of developers jumping ship and publicly expressing concern about their products and the future of the Playstation Network... instead of all that we'd all have a concrete date to look forward to, and we'd all be a lot more patient, and a lot less anxious.

Considering that Sony has not given us a date, I can only imagine it's because it will take them SO LONG to restore the PSN that if they announce it ahead of time everyone, developers and gamers alike, will dump the PS3 for good. Considering it's already been more than one month, one can only imagine what Sony's internal timetables are....
