Delays are never good, but in the case of two titles emerging from EA's acquisition of BioWare and Pandemic, it's nice to see the publishing giant giving its studios the time they need to get the job done right. In particular, we're talking about BioWare's all-new original RPG title, Dragon Age, and Pandemic's WWII action game, Saboteur, both of which EA boss John Riccitiello revealed are now 2009 titles during a speech Tuesday.
BioWare, hot off the PC release of Mass Effect, has been crafting its first fantasy RPG since Neverwinter Nights for some time. Saboteur showed substantial promise when we saw it last year; it's a third-person action game set in Nazi-occupied France, starting off in black & white, with color appearing as Nazis are driven out of areas of Paris.

I don't know if you can call Dragon Age a delay. It was last confirmed for before April 1, 2009.
So really, it's still on the same track.

You beat me to it but, yeah, I'm not even expecting this until late 2009 if not 2010. I still can't wait, though. After Spore, Dragon Age is my next slober-over game.
No, I am not an EA zombie. It's coincidence.

Thank god I actually read the article, what I was scared about off the headline was that Dragon Age wouldn't make an appearance at E3... and I needs me some more information or even some video if I'm lucky.
Lurking the Dragon Age forums for years only gets you so far.

It's grammar check time! "Nazi's": possessive; "Nazis": plural. Know your apostrophes, young Americans.
