Borderlands shifted to fiscal '09, 'better balance' cited
As noted in Take-Two's most recent guidance for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008, Gearbox-developed Borderlands will release in fiscal 2009 instead of fiscal 2008. The publisher explained that the apparent pushback allows for "additional development time" and provides "better balance" in the release schedule of its triple-A titles. Previously, Borderlands was dated for 'Holiday 2008,' which, if after November 1, would fall into Take-Two's fiscal 2009 anyway. Today's notice looks to be less a significant launch delay then, and more a tweaking of financial projections.

I think I'll survive.

I'm rather interested in this, but I'm not desperate for it (lack of hype I guess).
A later release date for a better game works just fine for me.

No need to be desperate for any game. There are too many titles worth playing between then and now, regardless of what the title is.

I'm desperate for MGS4. :(

At first it sounded like a pretty lame and generic idea, but after I read an article in GFW about this game, it seems like it *could* turn out to be kinda fun... if they can pull it off.

I would think its the 500,000 plus guns and balancing those.

I thought it meant "We thought we'd balance the shite with some good stuff."

This.
I would rather have them get the thing right then put it out with glaring issues, or lobby problems. Hear that THQ, fix Frontlines idiots!!!!

"better balance" = "better writing and voice-acting"?

Gives 'em more time to work on Aliens: Colonial Marines.
