Well 2009, you've been a great friend but you have nothing left to offer me.

Spoiler

New Super Mario Bros for GOTY

 

[Robot 492]

"Market Analysis"

I take it they saw Modern Warfare 2 was releasing around the same time and decided to delay their game like everyone else :lol

Q1 2010 is gonna be crazy for games...

 

[anddo0]

Good: I get to purchase two more PSP games this fall.

Bad: Yet another console game I wanted pushed back to 2010.

So now it looks like only (Uncharted 2, R&C, Assassins Creed 2, NGS2) in 09' for me.

 

[jett]

Fall 2008 is looking pretty miserable. Only Uncharted 2 for me, it seems.

 

[Victrix]

I swear to god, MW2 is going to push back MW2 to 2010

 

[Volcynika]

If the JP version or w/e has English, I'm importing AND buying it when it comes here.

Srsly.

alright, Sega America loses money. I am importing this, Asian version for PS3.
Sega of America, are you reading this? you lose money here!
there
It will be mine by November.

I really do not want this to be too close to God Of War III's launch in March, allow me time to enjoy this for Pete's sake

 

[lorddarkflare]

I doubt they did this to avoid Q4 titles, it's not like Q1 2010 is going to be clear either. :\

Yeah, but this can only be good for sales.

Also, i like the fact that they are so straightfoward about why they are pushing it.

 

[Chamber]

So Uncharted 2 will be my only game this fall unless I import.

This is awful news.

Its even cheaper if you import then if you bought in stores here anyway. Sega isn't losing money when you buy/import the game : )

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

2009 takes a hit for losing GOTY (PSP will dominate my line-up this Fall I guess..), but this will undoubtedly be better for the game. Well done Sega! I applaud you! Very good move.

Lost Planet 2 and Bayonetta early 2010 for the fucking win!

 

[Stoney Mason]

Everything is getting bumped to 2010. I guess everyone's afraid of the Halo/CoD tag team.

Pretty much.

I rarely buy action games of that style anymore but Bayonetta has me interested.

 

[GreyMatter]

Importing.

Is this GAF's offcial "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck" audio file?



NSFW audio careful what key you press just press "F"

http://www.rathergood.com/buffy

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Paracelsus]

Pretty much.

Rather, Halo and CoD are the only upcoming brands that are recession-proof.

And then you wonder why Sony 2nd half of 2009 line up is SO slim (pun not intended).

That pretty much seals it for me: 2009 went away as one heck of a shitty gaming year.

*spits*

 

[gutter_trash]

there!
I just pre-ordered the import Asian version, it is actually cheaper than buying it from a store here.

So, I will have something to play in November

region free PS3 FTW

 

[MvmntInGrn]

Well that sucks.
EDIT: Do we know if any other versions (PS3) will have English? If I have the cash I'd be tempted to import it.

 

[ihadFG]

I'm actually kind of glad that all these games are getting pushed back. Now I'll have more time to catch up on my backlog. Plus Modern Warfare 2 is going to take up most of my gaming time for a few months at least.

 

[gregor7777]

Sounds good to me. The further away from christmas the better.

 

[abstract alien]

Works out for me, I have quite a few games to get this year as it is.

 

[Meadows]

09 is getting real slim, real fast .

Outside of Trine (PSN), PES 2010, Uncharted 2, Borderlands, Assassins Creed II and MW2 I'm not really looking forward to anything.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Well that sucks.
EDIT: Do we know if any other versions (PS3) will have English? If I have the cash I'd be tempted to import it.

The voice acting will be in English, and that's all you'll really need to understand since it's a pure action game.

 

[gutter_trash]

Well that sucks.
EDIT: Do we know if any other versions (PS3) will have English? If I have the cash I'd be tempted to import it.

when both Asian and Japanese versions are availbe, always go for Asian if you want English.

the Asian copies of Street Fighter IV had English and Western names.
the Japanes copies of Street Fighter IV PS3 had Japanese with Japanese names.

I buy Asia PSP games and there are English

 

[Dra-Q]

Works out for me, I have quite a few games to get this year as it is.

dito, fits perfect for me in january 2010.

 

[akilshohen]

and then they send it out to get slaughtered by Capcom.....

 

[Kaako]

Of all the games showed, I'd never guess this would get delayed to 2010. :/
O well, still day one for sure.

 

[Drame]

Dang it!

Well, gotta place pre-order on the JPN / Asia copy then!

 

[Hunahan]

Where's that "Christmas 09 - worst lineup ever?" thread at?

I suddenly feel like I have something to post in it...

 

[MvmntInGrn]

The voice acting will be in English, and that's all you'll really need to understand since it's a pure action game.

Great, after I pick up or pay for the other games I want this year I may pick it up.

 

[Danthrax]

damn, the first four months of 2010 are going to be loaded.

at least we still have Scribblenauts!

 

[CHRP718]

Importing the JP PS3 version later this year then. Region Free FTW

 

[Space Runaway]

Whatever.


Import the buggy Japanese version then purchase the improved US version when it hits.

 

[Aaron]

There goes the last game I planned to buy this holiday season. Not a COD or Halo fan.

 

[Classic_Gs]

son of a bitch... truly this is the slimmest holiday season for gaming in quite some time, and I'm sure the delays are not over with yet

I was thinking the samething, and man this delay bums me out :/

 

[slaughterking]

The japanese version will probably be english anyway. At least for the most part. I guess it wont be very problematic to play the japanese import.

 

[badcrumble]

Man, what happened to 2009?

 

[EagleEyes]

January it is then. Shadow Complex, Trine, ODST, MW2, Forza 3, SC: Conviction, Uncharted 2, Splosion Man, AC II, Batman :AA and L4D2 will be more than enough to make 2009 a great year.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

@ date.

Probably best till after Christmas though.

 

[fatigues_gasolini]

If all these games get moved to early next year, wont that time get too busy for games creating another delay, and then it all happens over and over until no games ever get released again.

 

[Kintaro]

when both Asian and Japanese versions are availbe, always go for Asian if you want English.

the Asian copies of Street Fighter IV had English and Western names.
the Japanes copies of Street Fighter IV PS3 had Japanese with Japanese names.

I buy Asia PSP games and there are English

I'm importing as well. Thanks for the link.

 

[BlueWord]

This sucks for me, as I was really looking forward to playing it this holiday season.

However, this is definitely a wise move from a sales perspective; releasing a game like Bayonette in the midst of the holiday season strikes me as a bad move. This will give the game a chance to get more exposure, and perhaps, more sales.

 

[Artadius]

 

[Stoney Mason]

That pretty much seals it for me: 2009 went away as one heck of a shitty gaming year.

*spits*

Well for me fall 2009 is still shaping up quite nice.

I only buy a handful of games anyway during the fall.

MW 2 has been my most anticipated game of the year for a while.
Splinter Cell looks pretty good.
And Forza has me looking towards it even though I'm not a huge racing fan.
The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Throw in some mix of AC 2, Borderlands.

I'm cool. Although I agree it is shooter heavy.


The spring of 2010 is working out well also. I think it's a good thing. It's better to have a balanced yearly line-up than an over-stuffed fall.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Funny that it should come out 2 years after DMC4 (It also came out in January)

 

[Jonny The Pie King]

So now I have to buy No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle and this in the same month.

Oh well, I hope it's at least LATE January 2010. I'll buy both regardless, and if it's import friendly I'll have to consider that

Spoiler

, and then I'll probably double dip at US release

.

 

[Revelations]

son of a bitch... truly this is the slimmest holiday season for gaming in quite some time, and I'm sure the delays are not over with yet

Depends on the system. 360 is all booked up.

 

[lupinko]

Whatever.


Import the buggy Japanese version then purchase the improved US version when it hits.

Who said anything about the US version being improved? This is obviously a "we don't want to be mauled by MW2 and Halo ODST" move. :lol :lol :lol

 

[Revelations]

Man, what happened to 2009?

[
Well if you own a PS3 only I can see how this would be unfulfilling for you. As within the last month 3 proposed holiday season games for the system were delayed til next year. [an extension to my previous post]

 

[DevilWillcry]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

 

[cjdunn]

Okay, I'm late, but RRRAAAGE!!!
