Take-Two Delays Red Dead Redemption


Published By: Morgan Bates   On: Thursday 4 Mar 11:30 AM

Kotaku is reporting on the delay of Rockstar's western shooter Red Dead Redemption. Take-Two CEO Ben Feder explained the reason for the delay in a conference call.

"We shifted the launch of the game by several weeks into the third quarter. We believe this is the optimal time frame to release what is being hailed as the next generation of sandbox games."



Red Dead Redemption was previously dated for April 30, but will now be released in New Zealand on May 21.

I would agree with this and hope it is part of the reason, but it sounds like they are delaying it purely because they think sales will be better then.

Darn it. :( That's one of the games I'm most excited for this year.

Ah, well. I guess it gives me time to play all the games that are coming out this March.

THIS IS BULLsh*t.

Stop delaying it, it was supposed to be a late 2009 game originally! Oh well I guess this means I have longer to save money for it, and longer to play the games that come before.

There is a hell of a lot of premium quality titles being released at the mo. Besides what's a Rockstar release without a delay or three(GTA4 dlc on ps3 anyone)? That shunts RDR back to around Mafia 2's release week. Finally this year so much delectable content available on ps3. Only one brain to deal with said content all at once....

Well there has been a lot of games like this that have been a big stuff up eg. Call of Juraz , Red Dead Revolver , Dusk.
But then look at Gun that was an awsome game for Xbox and Ps2. So fingers crossed this is going to be as good it sounds
