Sad to hear this. Loved the GR:AW games & was looking forward to this but at least it'll be something less to purchase during the always crowded holiday season.

Delays are rarely a sad thing. Just means they are putting more effort into the game.

If the game needed to be delayed, I definitely support it being delayed as in the end, I want the best possible game when I buy it but I can't help but being disappointed by the extra wait time.

Yeah it's the wait that sucks, but at least for good reason. If they simply moved the release slot due to competition I would be upset then.

@Spike "Delays are rarely a sad thing. Just means they are putting more effort into the game." --Except if your name is Alpha Protocol. Then it means you sat on your butt for 12 months, making new trailers of the same footage until the coast was finally clear.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was to avoid direct competition with Halo: Reach & CoD: Black Ops. Probably a smart move if that's the case. Putting your new shooter up against two of the biggest shooters of all time wouldn't be the best idea in the world.

So you're avoiding Halo and Call of Duty to compete with... Gears 3 and Bulletstorm? Plus, how many other shooters are gonna do this exact same thing, Ubisoft? Oh, what's that? You'll just push it to summer then? Okay then.

Gears series and bulletstorm are no way as powerful as COD and Halo series.

Though, out of the five (Gears 3, Bulletstorm, Halo: Reach, CoD: BO, GR:FS) Gears 3 interests me the most.

Next year has next year's competitors. Say, Gears 3, and maybe one of Sony's shooters, and titles we don't know yet. Best solution probably should be make your game better.

Ah well, if they would like extra time to polish, then it is.

Though I find it interesting that a large portion of games listed polishing as a reason for delay, would eventually came out with obvious rough edges.

this less about "polishing the game" and more about padding ubi Q1 earnings statement.

look at splinter cell they had four years to polish the game (lol) and then realized after release they removed everything including vs multi-player and dozens of core game play mechanics that made the game a "Spinter Cell" game. giving them more time just means more chance to screw it up.

Considering GRAW and Splinter Cell are more then liked 50%+ the same game engine textures animations etc, its makes it even more obviously it has nothing to do with development and more to do with making investors think ubi stock price is worth it.

it just sucks as we the gamers are left with fewer fewer studios which can dictate release dates to publishers.. who's left? valve? Bungie?

exactly what comment above said i highly doubt the extra time will result in a better experience or game just more smoke and mirrors.

Cheer up. Look at it this way: if the publisher makes money, they'll use it to develop bigger and better games, which you can then enjoy.

The real lesson here is to the publishers: don't start the hype on your game until you're sure on the release date.

If this makes the next GRAW game as tightly knit as it can be, I'm all about it.

Why are these companies such chicken shits?

How about you make the game good so that you can compete with the competition instead of avoiding it?

Because even if you have a good game you can still get lost in the crowd. CoD and Halo are two of the biggest names in gaming and both would be competing for largely the same group of gamers. And most gamers only have so much money to spend at one time. I for one am glad that gamers are starting to spread out a bit. It's been nice to have good games coming out regularly thus far this year.

being good doesn't sell as many games as it should. Lots of people buy less than stellar products because of it's name and because of it's content. Look at how well the 'Stimulus Package' is selling. The marketing people need to position their product to avoid these drones as best they can.

They know there is going to be a new Call of Duty almost every year... you'd think that it would be smart to avoid a Fall release from the start.

While that does suck, I'm actually somewhat glad.

I'll have more time to play other games like Reach and SOCOM 4, plus; they can polish the game!

WTF is the point when several other publishers will see the same congested holiday period and then postpone all their games the following March as well just like what happened in 2009
