Vandal Hearts delayed for XBLA and PSN, still hearts you
If you had your heart set on downloading Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment via XBLA or PSN this September, prepare to have it broken. Konami has confirmed to Joystiq a report by Eurogamer that the return of the company's classic strategy RPG franchise has been delayed until "winter."
No reason was provided for the postponement of the game, which we first caught a glimpse of earlier this year. Let's hope the developer's equipment wasn't ... wait for it ... vandalized. (That one was from the heart.)

I hope her face will be on every alien in the game.
dblakenz @ Jul 1st 2009 11:02PM
lol love it, DSG cracks me up, I almost missed her in that image.
I also love it how there is only 1 comment about the actual game!
WINterfang @ Jul 1st 2009 11:06PM
I'm hoping to a public one, and everybody get's replace with DSG for the big finale.
djbuhhda @ Jul 2nd 2009 12:04AM
im really hoping DSG will remain through the week, i dont know how i'll make it through the day without her.
sleepypersons @ Jul 1st 2009 10:35PM
That picture of who ever is really getting old and starting to piss me off.
Though the game looks pretty damn good too bad on the delay.
Bradwart @ Jul 1st 2009 10:37PM
Get over it. Don't look at the pictures then. DSG will be here until the end of the day at least.
Nozzinja @ Jul 1st 2009 10:36PM

for those who are about to die (connor), i salute you.
gadgetman18i3 @ Jul 1st 2009 10:38PM
Dude, what's with the picture of that girl?!
gadgetman18i3 @ Jul 1st 2009 10:41PM
Okay, I finally went back far enough in the articles to see it - the box art for the new Dead Space game.
Wow, they really put her face in every graphic, didn't they?
favian @ Jul 1st 2009 10:42PM
i dont even want this crap. look at the horrible art and character design. looks like it was made domestically. Looks like a video game adaptation of a cartoon network show or something. Doesn't really deserve the the vandal hearts stamp, and while we're at it, Konami stop outsourcing your best franchises like Silent Hill to horrible american developers. Americans do not have the proper sensibilities to maintain the tone and horror of the Silent HIll series much less Vandal Hearts.

You sound like someone who was working on this game and got the boot? So much hate!! A Kotaku web blogger?.. which really seems to hate everything about this game. From what I have seen...it mostly looks like a decent xbox live arcade game. I do think a few images are strange, but overall it looks like a decent turn based hack em and kill em game. Throw in tons of blood (which I read it did have -thank you!) then how can you lose? Blood = fun.
Jake B @ Jul 2nd 2009 4:20AM
It really would be cooler if it was darker, grimier, and less cartoony.
Leroy_Octopus @ Jul 1st 2009 10:45PM
DSG should be an ally not an enemy. This is the best day ever.
rokubungi @ Jul 1st 2009 10:58PM
hey is it just me or is DSG not in the turn order there?
WINterfang @ Jul 1st 2009 11:07PM
Remember the First of July guys, this day shall be legendary.
easucks @ Jul 1st 2009 11:29PM
Wow...this game is looking pretty sweet! I can't wait to play it!
favian @ Jul 2nd 2009 12:11AM
That's some theory. I suppose anyone who is turned off by the progress of a game is someone who got the boot from the development team? The problem is that it looks 'decent' when vandal hearts has typically been exceptional. And blood is not a dealbreaker or maker for me. gimme a break, what am i 5? WOZERZ BLOOD!
easucks @ Jul 2nd 2009 12:25AM
Actually it was a pretty racist thing he said about americans. You are right it may be a bad theory I threw out...just sensed a lot of hate. I try and play a game or read a dozen reviews before I ramp up to terminator salvation hate levels myself. I played the old vandal hearts..and it pretty much looked like an eye sore back then. The only thing that made it stand out was the blood rushing out. Then after you stuck around for that, you discoverd a pretty good game....but let us be honest..the original VH was horrible in the looks...this one looks way better than that.

Vandal Hearts is such an epic game.
Ty Hancock @ Jul 2nd 2009 4:35AM
Vandal Hearts "was" such an epic game.
Muhammad Sabeeh Ali @ Jul 2nd 2009 8:33AM
I am waiting for this one ... I really liked the first 2.
deaftly @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:21AM
Those zombies are just begging to be replaced by you know who!
Kdiggy @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:27AM
Releasing a game during "winter" aka the busiest season for game releases all year, is never a good idea.
Ujn Hunter @ Jul 2nd 2009 1:45PM
Why is that picture of the lady from the Dead Space Wii game on that Vandal Hearts screenshot Ghost Officer?
krash411 @ Jul 2nd 2009 5:33PM
The pump (heart) don't work cause the vandals took the handle.
