    Default Game release dates getting pushed back

    Have you guys noticed that a lot of the titles are being delayed lately? I think that's awesome because these people are wanting more time to polish their games. Or that's what I hope at least.

    Can this be that the developers are finally realizing that releasing unfinished games is not cool and having people pay that much money for a piece of turd (Flops comes to mind) is also definitely NOT cool?

    being a developer, it's not always in your hands when launch day is. money, sales and pr sometimes takes pole position. however at times and as it should be, the development cycle of a product should not be rushed.

    i had numerous times where something HAD to be done in 4th of the time which was normally allocated and we all know how rushed jobs turns out even if the development team is all AAA. no one is perfect and one tend to have more developer bugs in the applications/game when you are severely pressed for time.

    Same with all the Blizzard games. They might be a bit overboard on the development times though.

    Spoken for the truth !

    Dude Valve! Where is EP3?

    It could also be because there are too many games being released around the time...

    But I do like the idea of them polishing up the game.
