Its possible successor on the great video game milk cart of missing games, Alan Wake, is on the verge of release. So what, then, is the New Duke Nukem Forever? More »

But once a game comes out and proves to be good, game delays are often forgotten news. Batman: Arkham Asylum was delayed in 2009. Its lead creator recalled that forgotten moment. More »

The sequel won't make its previously scheduled February ship date, moving to a post-April release. More »

Square-Enix confirmed your title is delayed until an unspecified Spring 2009 date. But that news dropped with some new details on the game. Which makes things better. Or worse. More »

Were it not for the Korean Open Beta - which apparently exists, and has players and everything - we would have to keep checking Snopes to see if it was still considered real or not. More »

"What, this game?" we thought. While enjoyable junk food and technically impressive in parts, Wheelman felt like a game that was six months out, in need of a bit of polish before it went public.

Now it's been pushed back for a vague release within the 2008 fiscal year, meaning sometime between April 2008 and March 2009, for any and all platforms. Yes, that's quite a wide range, but the news came out in a financial report, not a press release packaged neatly for gamers to devour. I blame my own, nasal, not-so-kind impressions for destroying the team's progress. Apparently even Crecente's more positive take couldn't balance out the jarring to Free Radical's studio. More »

Brawl in Europe, and fans across the continent got more than a little upset. As the torch and pitchfork wielding mob bore down on Nintendo's European castle, a new spokesperson appeared high atop the ramparts to deliver a slightly more acceptable explanation for SSBB's absence from the list of releases distributed Thursday.
"The Nintendo 1st & 3rd party Software lineup release schedule which was distributed by Nintendo on Thursday 6th December confirmed launch dates for Nintendo titles launching in Q1 2008...Nintendo also included some titles which were fixed for release beyond Q1 2008 such as Mario Kart Wii. All Nintendo software titles launching in Q2 2008 have not been finalised or confirmed to date."

He explained:
We're going to give a firm date when we are utterly convinced that we have it and that isn't right now...we're not in the business of disappointing investors.
And it makes sense, because unless Zelnick can promise GTA IV by December, Take 2 won't be looking any better to investors or fans. More »

In the same interview, Perpetual CEO Chris McKibbin said that Perpetual will be laying off 30-40 employees (the last delay of Rome Rising coincided with more layoffs) and clarified the company's relationship with SOE. As reported back in August, sources cited a changing relationship with SOE (with SOE moving from a co-publisher to a purely marketing role), but McKibbin clarified what he termed a 'non-story': More »

But Valve wants to make sure everyone knows that's it's not the hardware, oh no. It's a commuting thing. While PC and Xbox 360 work is done by the core team in the states, the PS3 version is handled by an EA UK group. And that's like, thousands of miles away. Maybe tens of thousands. Maybe millions. No one knows for sure. So it takes longer. Especially when all communication is transfered by letters being transported by boats. Old ones. With sails. And masts. And poop decks. More »

While game delays are often caused by developmental issues, sometimes the cause for delay are less flukes and more strategic marketing maneuvers on the part of publishers. More »

In fact, maybe you can delay it until it drops a couple hundred euros in price... in which case, I'll definitely be there at launch! More »

Despite being Kotaku's "Associate Editor, Europe", I don't read Swedish. Oh, I can bork bork with the best of them, but when it comes down to parsing them in diareses, umlauts and those funny bisected Os, I'm clueless. More »

I'm an Unreal Tournament man. I like the speed, I like the weapons, I like playing an extraterrestrial bovine with a bazooka on my back. I haven't like Quake style deathmatch since Quake 2 ruined it and never looked back. More »
