SCEE QA holds up Trine 2 launch in Europe
6
For us in North America, Trine 2 is a real thing, a game we can download and play and everything. Our brothers and sisters in gaming abroad have been denied Frozenbyte's sequel so far on PS3, thanks to a QA snafu at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Eurogamer reports.
"We are anxiously awaiting the European release ourselves!" exclaimed Frozenbyte's vice president Joel Kinnunen to Eurogamer. "We had both SCEA and SCEE versions ready at the same time and they are basically 100 percent the same (SCEA version already has all European languages, for example), so we are very disappointed we couldn't have a simultaneous launch. But it's out of our hands."
Right now, the game's in QA at SCEE with no release date in sight. Kinnunen says "hopefully we'll hear more soon," so when some news is conjured up, we'll be sure to let you all know.

Trine 2 is amazing hopefully European PSN users can get to experience the game soon. Shame it couldn't get a release like the US did so that both would of released at the same time.

Nothing surprising here, just SCEE being useless as usual.

Trine 2 was an insta buy for me, such a well made little game.

C'mon 'Stiq, how about some accurate reporting? Unlike this article, which is sadly far too snafu, we don't know whether it's an issue with the game or with the process. Jumping to unfounded conclusions is not quality reporting. Just because it passed SCEA's QA doesn't mean there isn't issues, it just means that SCEA may not have stopped them (this article presumably passed whatever editorial checks Joystiq has, but they clearly didn't pick up the fact that it was making unfounded assertions).
Not that this is unusual - hopefully your new editor-in-chief ups the quality factor around here.
