Worst Day Ever: BioShock 2, Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3 All Delayed

Jaces - 157 days 13 hours ago

And you wonder why no one takes you seriously. At least your bud radzy knows where to post his trash comments.

Anyway, I can't say it's necessarily a bad thing, better to delay then push out a product that is not ready.

Besides, it'll save me some money this year so I'll be able to get what I want rather than being overwhelmed. lol

That's too bad, I was really looking forward to playing Bioshock 2 and possibly Red Dead Redemption this holiday. But if the games were not ready then it is the right thing to delay them. There are already so many good games coming out later this year, so in a way I am glad.

We're still getting a lot of good games this fall though. Maybe we will get lucky and they will release them next summer during the dry spell we usually get that time of year? Something to look forward to at least.

blame DVD9 for taking developer time that should've gone to developing the game rather than optimizing and compressing data to fit in your pathetic 7GB disc.

I'm more surprised when a game gets released on schedule. Game delays are all too common this gen.
But for 60 bucks a game and having to buy games for both systems (exclusives). I want my games to be as polished as possible.

Raiinstorm81 - 157 days 11 hours ago

they will ruin these games if they use motion control for most of them. Bioshock 2 could be kinda fun using Natal or PS motion.

Ive been looking forward to Red Dead Redemption I personally think it has the potential to be better than GTA4. (read up on it)

I guess better late than never at least we can expect high quality from R* delays.

@SHOCKY: Is that true that their fiscal year actually starts in November? So it could still technically come out in November or December? edit: Nevermind, just saw where it mentioned that in the article.

@RAINSTORM: I'm with you, I'm very much looking forward to Red Dead and have high hopes for it to exceed GTAIV. It looks/sounds like it could be really great. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

This is kinda crappy. I mean I would much rather have a delay than a buggy game or something, so I'm fine with that. Just as far as my enthusiasm is concerned, it sucks. I really was looking forward to trying out Red Dead and Mafia II. Max Payne I'm not all that worried about (didn't even know it was supposed to be definitely coming this year anyways), and Bioshock 2 is fine by me, I haven't even played the first one yet.

I'll have plenty to play as it is, was looking forward to Red Dead and Mafia though. Hope they get it all smoothed out though before they do release those games. Plus this does definitely help out my wallet for this fall/winter as there was more games I wanted than I could afford.

mastiffchild - 157 days 12 hours ago

Personally I'm more interested in how it turns out than these games(not that I'm not interested in them too, mind!)and HR was NOT delayed. They simply felt that it would, as a more unusual kind of game, get lost in the sea of trad of the holiday period. Gamers aren't the most open minded people and will buy what they know so to release HR when fewer other new games will be on the shelves is just good sense even if it means I wait longer for something brave and different.

Put back does not always mean delayed or problems with develoment-there's a nost of tactical and business factors affecting this kind of thing.

They delayed them cause they couldn't get the mandatory installs to work on the PS3. And then of course they want to make the versions look 'identical', as in lower resolution, lack of AA(or quincunx vaseline filter), v-sync problems and unstable framerates, exclusive for the PS3 version.

"Houser continued and said that the limitations aren't just confined to the Xbox 360 version, saying, "both have enormous challenges" and "both have their own particular pleasures and pains".

It's also interesting to note that all the footage we have seen from the game thus far is from the Xbox 360 version - who says it's hampering development and the PS3 isn't?"

that was supposed to help the case? funny that the 360 version of the game is the better version and also the one that has seen an entire expansion equaling the original games size.

Heres some good ones for you:

"I was rather surprised to see that despite the RSX-NVIDIA link between the PS3 and arcade hardware, the Sony console once again sees a measurable drop in image quality compared to the Xbox 360 version. Meanwhile, owners of Microsoft's console get a conversion that is actually noticeably superior to the original arcade game.

The PlayStation 3 version mirrors the coin-op in that it's rendering its visuals without the aid of anti-aliasing, whereas the Xbox 360 code gets the benefit of its more usual 2x multisampling edge smoothing. Both are running at an absolutely rock solid 60 frames-per-second, but it's clear that Capcom has had to nip and tuck the PlayStation 3 version in a number of ways to meet this goal.

It all comes down to bandwidth - the amount of data that can stream in and out of the graphics chip at any given point. RSX can handle 22GB/s of data, but the 7900GS trumps it with double that. This all suggests that Capcom maximised the strengths of the 7900GS and the lack of bandwidth hurts the PS3 conversion. Transparent textures in particular require a ton of bandwidth. On Xbox 360, this isn't really an issue, most likely due to the 10MB of RAM directly connected to the Xenos graphics chip, which as an effective speed of a staggering 256GB/s."

Why do you think they release them for the pc? They release them for the PC because they will make MORE MONEY. We are talking about CONSOLES, between the 360 and PS3, and you can't play any of those games for your PS3.
