...then Electronic Arts pushes it into 2008.
Pick up tomorrow's new issue of PSM3, and you'll be able to read the world's first magazine review of Army of Two, Electronic Arts' co-op focused shooter. But thanks to the game being recently delayed, you won't actually be able to buy it until some unconfirmed date next year. So what's the deal?
Well, if you head on over to PSM3's official blog, they take the effort to talk us through the problems. The answer's not so simple. For instance, developers are having problems with PS3 development or simply finding porting 360 games to Sony's platform an irksome process - witness Stranglehold, which has been out for ages on 360, but still isn't out on PS3.
Neil writes: "Each and every week a great deal of cash is saved with Xbox gamers purchasing some of the very best games at cut-price rates. Guess what? Yep, we're doing that again this week with the multitude of Xbox One and Xbox 360 bargains found in the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 18th-24th August 2020. And it's helped that the Ultimate Game Sale is included too."
Neil writes: "With the delay of many AAA titles, and the move into the summer period, it is still a little quiet on the new games front. But that in turn at least gives us the chance to crack on with knuckling down with our huge list of older games that we've been meaning to play. It does however also mean that in order to keep that backlog list topped up, even more Xbox games will need to be purchased - and that is where the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale comes in. The latest one - that working between the 7th-13th July 2020 - offers plenty of great discounts on numerous Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles."
Neil writes: "It doesn't matter how many games you have in your digital library nor how large your backlog of shame is - when the opportunity comes around to get access to new cheap gaming experiences, it's hard to say no. And that is what is happening again this week as hot on the heels of one great sale, comes another, with the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 9th-15th June 2020 providing many stunning Xbox One and Xbox 360 games at heavily discounted prices. The question is, what will you be picking up this week?"
Why did they have to delay both versions if the one for 360 is complete? I'd love to try it out this year. Could be a tactical move also, the winter season is kinda crowded.
All I can ever picture there is a bunch of whiners with a bad work ethic. We get that they are having problems with developing for the PS3, but if they spent as much time trying to figure out how to do it the right way as they do whining about how they can't, they would probably have it down now.
I think they are starting to shape up though. Their non-sports games are looking better than before. I'm kinda hyped after playing Skate and the NFS: Pro Street demo.
Well I think its better to release this game next year when its kinda empty, while for people to pick it up. I am looking forward to this game and it does look good, just keep on polishing this title.
yeah I'm pretty sure they still have work to do on it. Maybe they sent a final copy out before they realized they needed more time? ooops.
I'm actually glad it got pushed back, there is simply just too much coming out this holiday for me to get this, so the delay is actually going to increase my chances of buying it, unless it gets bad reviews across the board, then no chance..
