This was not only confirmed on the PlayStation Blog the day it was re-announced for November, but also originally stated way back last year. There's no need for this article regurgitating old news since its been 100% confirmed twice.
"Journalism." Despicable.
How can you give a GOTY award three and a half months before the year is over? Bed re the vast majority of contenders are launched during the busiest part of the year?
Marketing stunt, that's how. They should have at least waited for Smash Bros.
"This month on September"
Whew, thanks for clarifying. I wasn't sure what month it was this month.
It was announced over a week ago. It already has a tag made for N4G that this article used-- wasn't that a clue that you're extremely late in reporting this?
Here's a link from 8 days ago:

Boy, what a surprise! And here I was, keeping an eye on the newspaper for showtimes to see the new Shadow of Mirror film.
It's obviously not a movie tie-in. There have been dozens of LotR games that had nothing to do with the movies, and aside from the fact that the Hobbit finale is coming out, it features a brand-New story with New characters written between the mythos-- i.e., something never actually conceived of in Tolkien texts.
That's not to sa...
Nevermind. Waste of time.
Yep. It's important to support sites you'd like to see content from in the future, but I'd say most sites submitting their own articles to N4G could wither and die-- and they would, if they weren't leeching traffic by submitting their own articles. Vicious cycle.
@rdgneoz3: You're right. That's probably why us adults are able to own a Wii U on top of another console or two of their choice and gaming a decent PC-- you know, so we don't miss out on any games we'd like to play.
I know it's hard to give that up in place of all this puerile whining going on in the comments, but think about it-- it really is that simple.
Wouldn't it be nice if, I don't know, you bought the games you were interested in and simply ignored the ones you didn't want?
Like it or not, companies are going to publish their older games on our new systems because they're cheaper than developing an entirely new game for them, they help build up new audiences from players who might not have owned systems or played their games before, and they hype up potential new games coming out farther down the line. <...

EU Just had a huge sale on virtual console Capcom games, which was arguably better than this sale. Doesn't help people living anywhere else, but there you go.
I'd grab D&D:CoM, but I can't remember if I bought it on PSN and I can't currently log in to check.
I hope I didn't imply that a developer needs to show off their entire game before launching it-- part of the excitement of playing a game is indeed in the exploration and discovery. However, almost nothing shown from Lords of the Fallen gives me the impression that most new games do-- it makes me question what kind of content we're going to end up with and if it'll be worth the price of admission.
For a brand-new IP, I don't know very much about this game, and...
I'm still pretty optimistic about this game, but I'd like to see some more thorough previews and get a better idea on the scope of the game from the devs, from the game world itself to all the weapons and enemy variations and so forth. Everything we've seen so far looks intriguing, but I feel like I know hardly anything about it.
A demo before launch would be great to get a feel for the general combat and underlying mechanics.
Sony denied this game's original certification because of bugs like this, yet everyone whined about it and said Sony was at fault since it passed Microsoft and Steam's certs. Sony doesn't delay things to piss off consumers; it's to protect their investments, to make sure they're not buying a faulty product.
It's too bad the devs couldn't do a better job and get the game out when it was ready instead of rushing it into a bug-riddled mess.
I remember how Sutter went on a passionate rant many seasons of SoA ago explaining how he wanted any game based off of the show to be substantial and powerful, to be a "real" game; something that would affect the user from both an emotional and technical (gameplay, graphics, cinematics) standpoint. The developer had to have the chops to make it, or they wouldn't be considered; the graphics and writing had to be top-of-the-line, or Sutter would dismiss it; the overall quality nee...
From the way the source is worded, it sounds like the old DLC is just coming back-- nothing "new," but nice for those Pixar fans who may have missed out.
I'd love to see all of that, but most people who are fans of these types of games know the ugly truth to the matter. There's plenty of Maiden in the game, but you'll never see the other bands you mentioned without some kind of miracle.
Not too sure where this "overload of indie music" mentality came from either, considering the major names pulled into the DLC stream lately (unless you mean on disc, which is still kind of silly).
In fact,...
Oh yeah, I remember when this came out a week ago. There's a whole new (and infinitely more interesting) pack that came out today, and I highly suggest everyone check it out: http://www.theriffrepeater....
Oh, that sale that's going on week three now, right?
Lazy, careless journalism.
