While speaking to investors, Take-Two CEO Ben Feder said Red Dead Redemption had been delayed because of “optimal” release schedules. Developers Rockstar say something a little different.

“We at Rockstar have always prided ourselves on the uncompromising quality of our games – and will always opt to take a bit longer to polish and fine-tune a game to be as perfect as possible when we think it necessary” a company representative says. “With Red Dead Redemption, we felt that these extra few weeks will make a big difference in helping us deliver you an experience beyond your expectations.”
Now that sounds a lot more likely. Bit of a double-edged piece of news, this; it’s good that they’re taking the time to polish it a little more (it certainly helped Batman: Arkham Asylum), but then, it’s worrying that a game due so soon still needed some work.
