Title: The Delayed Games Thread -- UbiSoft delays Far Cry 2, BiA: HH, and EndWar
Post by: MysterD on Thursday, December 13, 2007, 02:21:25 PM
So, instead of creating 1,000 "delay threads", I think I'm gonna creating a thread to be devoted entirely to basically games being delayed.

I'll update w/ new delays and y'all can do so, too.

So, here's what's up first to be delayed in this thread.

Ubisoft delays three games: (http://kotaku.com/gaming/ubisoft/far-cry-2-endwar-hells-highway-delayed-333565.php)
--Far Cry 2
--BiA: Hell's Highway
--Tom Clancy's EndWar

Ubisoft's news today wasn't all good. Sure Assassin's Creed is doing amazing sales and the company as a whole is picking up, but it appears they've decided to push back three of their triple-A titles.

Or as Ubisoft puts it they've "strengthened its line-up of games for next year..." EndWar, Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway and Far Cry 2 are now all scheduled for release in fiscal 2008-09 rather than the fourth quarter of 2007-08.

This will let them push the expenses of developing those games into next year's fiscals and push up sales for that fiscal year, from what I make of the press release. Good news for investors, but boo for gamers.
