You claimed I didn't interview David Reeves, got the entire basis of your post absolutely incorrect and now you've realised you're wrong on every count what you're basically saying it that the story you didn't realise was a story just doesn't matter. Which is wrong as well. Anything else you want to be wrong about?

In that story you linked to, SCEA said the delay had nothing to do with game's development. Reeves told me it did. It was part of a full interview, but I've just taken that bit out to illustrate the point, obviously.

So there we are :)

VG247: "Is that essentially it? It does it simply need more time?"

That last question is pretty awkward, but perhaps it is a typo. But still, I think you can SPIN it that way, that the KZ2 dev needed more time. But I don't think there is enough information in that one question and one word answer to justify any kind of conclusion.

If you interviewed him, why didn't ask him about further about the additional dev time they needed?

Let them take all the time they need to get it right. All will be forgiven and forgotten as long as we get a spectacular game.

I don't think anybody really believed Sony would pass up a chance of doing some serious damage to MSFT this holiday season. Launching more than one FPS can still be successful even more so durring the holiday season.

A game that's supposed to be as big as it is, I didn't believe it would be out in 2008 without being a total letdown. Sony wants this game to the benchmark of FPS and current gen games, so they'd be smart to give the development team all the time they need.

Funny thing is, Sony is backing up this game so much, but in the end, I have a gut feeling that Resistance 2 will be the better all around game. Those guys just keep popping out quality in a timely manner, which makes us gamers quite happy.

Im actually bummed to know this is the only game I feel that proves why the cell processor was put in. I've seen other amazing PS3 trailers... but this game was actually playable looking amazing grafically... everything else on PS3 looks expected to me of this gen. But KZ2 is what I've expected all along as far as PS3's visuals go!

Half Life 2. That thing took so long, that when they released it (although a great game) the visuals had dated somewhat. I remember seeing demo's of the engine 2 years before it shipped and thinking ..wow!
...now Killzone 2 still looks cutting edge to me, but will it appear so in 2009? Or will some other games get out the gate before it with more of a 'wow' factor? I hope not.

Of course that other PR guy was wrong. He was trying to save face. Greyzone 2 got delayed because of the Turdstation.

To me it's the dumbest thing you can do is delay your game... all it does is add more fire to the burning flames... (you see the love Haze is getting, because people expected a good game especially when you delayed it saying your making it better) -my god what was it before, because it's awful...

Right now everyone and their mom's is waiting for Killzone 2 so when you push it back you just make the expectations of the game get way too high... so high that even when it comes out, it's impossible to live up to the hype.

The longer you wait the more a game that look so next gen starts to look so last gen... This is a huge mistake.. the game is not even coming out during the Nov-Dec 08 Christmas buying madness..

So instead of coming out when everyone is starving for games, you wait until every game you have wanted on the PS3 has come out. That makes more sense?

You got to be kidding me... It will still sell because it's K2 but trust me you just stabbed yourself in the foot, because delaying a game should only be done if your doing something so Unreal it sets the bar of the game through the roof. -or gives it some unreal play factor.

Game companies are still trying to catch up to COD4's graphics.. and that's games been out.. LoL -So Good Luck with delaying your Game..

It's just a huge Mistake, a mistake that could be as big as what could have been 4 to 5 million copies sold turns into - Lucky if you sell 1.2 million. (Reviews will eat this game alive if it doesn't hit on every Mark) -it's the waiting that causes those huge expectations.

-Time is the enemy and more time is a death sentence in the gaming world.
