Frame City Killer missing until summer at the very least

by Dan Choi on Jan 11th 2006 2:35AM

Namco's Frame City Killer has been pushed back once more, and is now scheduled to launch in the U.S. this summer.

FCK -- as it's affectionately called by its friends -- had been delayed once before, from the 360's launch in Japan to the end of winter (and presumably February 7th in the States as well).

Well, whenever FCK finishes up, we'll be desperately waiting for its arrival, 'cuz if there's one thing Microsoft's machine needs more of, it's shooters set in urban environments.

Oh FCK we missed our deadline!

That screenshot looks familiar... Yep! It's the outlining effexct from Ghost in the Shell:Innocence! In fact, there are a crapload of visual and technological cues from Ghost in the Shell in this.

Reference shot (not a very good one, but I don't have the time to hnt through an hour and a half of footage for a better one):

Well, between it's own supply/demand problems and the game publishers delaying their own products for various reasons, Microsoft and the 360 have now lost any advantage they may have ever held over Sony.

Sorry, but a bunch of visually glossed over ports of games that are also available on the Xbox aren't going to sell a system.

#3, doesnt ms and the 360 have a year or more to take advantage of launching early? Isnt it a little early for your statement considering they've only used about 1/6th of their head start so far?

You must remember that as soon as Joystiq makes any sort of tongue-in-cheek comment about a system, then the other system's fanboys will be first to post about how crappy it must be.

Its pretty funny to watch from the outside.
