Seriously. Q1 2010? March-June, it's gonna go up against FFXIII and get slaughtered.

Can't localize well. Seriously, Rogue Galaxy took more than a year, as now White Knight will. They suck at bringing things over in English.

hum they added 30-35 more hours to the us version of rogue galaxy .

Besides i'd bet it's january instead of december 2009 .
Think about it , given the popularity of jrpg in us and europe , it would get slaughtered among the christmas hits of the ps3 and 360

I really wanted this game this year and they had already claimed a fall/winter release like last month.

In know not everyone has the internet but damn, a free dlc + patch would have looked better than a delay anyways. We ALL love seeing fre DLC on PSN so they screwed up with deciding to put it on the disc and release it later.
Patching the games problems on the disc was a fine idea though but the free content could've been on the store.

Just remembered, it's like what 16 cents per gigabyte for the stuff on psn? So maybe they did make the smart move avoiding that cost.

PLUS what Baka said about who they'd be competing with. Being after the holiday isnt good but if there's heavy competition then i guess it's best to avoid as long as they're over a month before FFXIII too.

*big sigh*
I still want you so i guess i'll have to wait.
*grumble grumble*

Here's hoping FFXIII actually comes out Q1 2010. Chances are even though SE said it'll be out Spring 2010 (which isn't really Q1), it'll be delayed to at least the summer.

The game will be here before we know it.

Damn...Was really looking forward to WKC this year :(

To the people saying it will be competing with FFXIII, it won't. This is coming out in Q1, whereas FFXIII is coming out in late Q2, so there will be at least 2 months difference.

"It seems 2010 will be a big year for gamers!"

I somehow read "2010 will be the year of the PS3!"

Im starting to feel like a 360 fanboy when i read that. PS3 supporters do seem to say that and then push it back to the next year, and the next year, and the next year.

REALLY: Major PS3 games come out all the time but they're spread out so much that we can hardly claim one year as the year the PS3 released the most and best exclusives/games.
I believe 2008 was a GREAT year for the PS3 but everyone has their own opinions about which games are great and what feel flat.

Apart from the year the PS3 launched i think it's had noteworthy titles EVERY year.

This year still in line for release or released:
Killzone 2
inFamous
Fat Princess
Rag Doll Kung Fu (i liked it and it was free but after i played it i saw it would've been worth the $10)
Demons souls
Ninja Gaidan Sigma 2 ("definitive version")
Ratchet and Clank - ACIT (this year)
Uncharted 2
MLB the Show
BlazeBlu
Some others, PSN and physical, that im forgetting
In Home game launching and other interactive things
DC Universe Online (not my taste but i think its this year)
And a ton of PS1 classic are coming

I think ive made my point, This year is STILL on course to be ANOTHER great year for PS3 owners.

@Rock Bottom
No it isn't, not fiscally. When game companies talk about "Q1" or "Q4" it's within their fiscal year... this does not reflect the actual calendar year. Generally Q1 starts in April for most gaming companies. God of War was set to come out Q4 of 2009 which can be anywhere in Christmas to its rumored, and now concrete, March 2010 release date.

PS2 has been getting the jrpg's still , PS3 has VC and DS I still have those and some ps2 rpg to finish. Still I ticked at SE amd L5 not developing FF13 and WKC with multiple languages from the start and enabling importers.

It is great that Demons Souls at least has this though DS is more action then story so it not all that hard to do in its case.

They just told you they are adding new stuff . And judging by Level 5 habits it's not just 1 more hour of gameplay , but probably a whole addon that could feel like a full game

PS3 lineup for 2009 is getting slimmer and slimmer by the day.

GOW3 ... March 2010
GT5 ... looks like 2010
White Knight Chronicles ... 2010
Heavy Rain ... 2010
MAG ... probably 2010 (don't know when it's going to be released)
among others

If it's worst or better then MS lineup, that's up for you to decide. PS3 fanboys will say PS3 lineup is better, and X360 fanboys will say the other way around.

Weak?, pulling lineup up my a$$ and Quality over quantity my friend...I included Fat Princess and Singstar Queen in for the PS3 to boost up their puny weak 2009 lineup just to be nice.

LMFAO...I like how PS3 fanboys like to hyped up their 2009 lineup as superior but year after year...and delays after delays...x360 still have a better lineup..Just a big smile on my face :P

Don't get me wrong, I also have a PS3..but I get bashed for saying lets wait for release dates and after E3 to see the full lineup before determining 2009 as the year of the PS3.

SO we'll ALL have a great year.

BTW:
LIPS2 and Shadow Complex should be removed from your list as Shadow Complex is buggy as hell so far and LIPS 2 is... LIPS
If we were to list a bunch of mediocre titles we'd be here all night.

I like to say that. BUt being a JRPG nut, I can't cause most 360 JRPGs have not impressed. IU = crap, SO4 = not even close to SO3 quality, BD = please, LO = not bad, but loading and poor design decisions hurt, TOV = okay, but felt empty the further you went (story, quests etc.)

I mean...seriously. FFXIII/ vsXIII/ XIV/ WKC couldn't come any sooner...and that time will now be 2010...where as last year we all hoped 2009 would be the year of the JRPG again.

Just because you think they are not good doesn't mean it is bad for someone else....I owned Blue Dragon, Tales, Lost Odyssey, and SO4 and I love them all and having fun playing them.

Please, take your non-sense opinion out since you don't even own a x360, judging from comments from you like this http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend... or play/completed any of the games you'd just mentioned as being bad.

Magna Carta 2 will be in my collection soon.

gamers do impact on the gaming industry you prolly don't see it. developers like Insomniac games, and naughty dog. They both listen to their fans to see where to make improvements and add on. Agree some gamers do whine a lot, but they just being a typical fan, if you really want to shut them up disagree with them, then post facts, after that they pretty much have nothing to say. Don't just call them a fanboy cause that just let them know that they won the argument. You need to stop whining turn on your hardcore-ness, and attack back.
