It's not in EA's Q1 release line-up anymore, and their SKU count is only five (all of which are accounted for with Dead Space, Crysis, Sim City, Army of Two, and Tiger Woods).

It was originally targeted for March.

Edit:

iMax and Quentyn are listening to the call and it's delayed to Q1 FY2014 aka April-June 2013.

Sober · Jan 30, 2013

Delayed to make it look even more generic?

DatDude · Jan 30, 2013

I honestly wouldn't mind if it got canceled.

Father_Brain · Jan 30, 2013

Won't save it from bombing, but probably for the best. I wonder if it was moved to next-gen, though...

Guevara · Jan 30, 2013

Cover wasn't orange enough

Dawg · Jan 30, 2013

I wish this game never existed.

Sorry, IG. I love the Ratchet & Clank series, but this really looks so bland, generic and... boring? Such a change compared to R&C

I just want a worthy AciT sequel.

Phire Phox · Jan 30, 2013

Guess they got to do more of that focus testing.

Going next-gen is probably the only way to save it from its bomba-fate.

Tzeentch · Jan 30, 2013

Maybe they are going to pack-in Army of Two after it bombs, calling it the Humble Generic Shooter Bundle.

RoboPlato · Jan 30, 2013

A move to summer with different boxart, a beta, and some more marketing behind it will at least keep it from being a mega bomb.

Kagari · Jan 30, 2013

Welp.

Heart Attack · Jan 30, 2013

Best for both parties if it got cancelled instead.

Hugstable · Jan 30, 2013

They are probably going to make it more brown and gritty. Plus the cover needs more orange.

AppleMIX · Jan 30, 2013

Good, way to many games in March.

Carl · Jan 30, 2013

Hardly surprising. Pushing it out in March would have been mega-bomb.

Now it'll just be a bomb.

ViewtifulJC · Jan 30, 2013

I guess they realized releasing it in the same month of Gears of War Judgement and Army of Two was a bad idea for your generic third person coop shooter

A Sentient Keyboard · Jan 30, 2013

Good decision. No way it was going to sell in the bloodbath that is march.

B.O.O.M · Jan 30, 2013

Man..what's up with some of you guys? wish it didn't exist? damn. I get it. They messed up on the overall visual style and so on. But it could very well be a solid and fun game.

I swear gamers hate on things way too much. Let's hope they take the extra time to make it an even better title as THAT would actually benefit us

Derrick01 · Jan 30, 2013

They'll probably push it back to May where Last of Us and GTA will cream it

Diablo Rosso · Jan 30, 2013

It'll still bomb no matter what when it releases but it might do a bit better not coming out in such a busy period.

Hugstable · Jan 30, 2013

True that, owning a 3DS and PC I got almost 4-5 games that I'm really looking forward to in both February and March!

thekonamicode · Jan 30, 2013

It doesn't really matter when FUSE comes out, it won't be selling very well sadly.

month after Dead Space too.

DieH@rd · Jan 30, 2013

Why did they make this game?

WHY?

They could have used the time and create new singleplayer IP [with MP] for nextgen consoles, and I'm sure everybody would be ecstatic for it.

Same.

V_Ben · Jan 30, 2013

Probably for the best, march was looking insane.

Baconsammy · Jan 30, 2013

Kagari said:
Welp.

My thoughts exactly.

Tucah · Jan 30, 2013

Probably delayed until May so it can bomb when releasing near GTAV as opposed to bombing in March.

Porcile · Jan 30, 2013

Colour and charm takes time and money to remove y'know.

The Omega Man · Jan 30, 2013

make for next-gen consoles, heck, they don't even need to upgrade the graphics engine, just a "port", first months of new consoles people buy all the crap there is available.

Someone put out the jstevenson signal.

BruiserBear · Jan 30, 2013

It's so strange they were claiming that March date was for realz just a few months ago. It always seemed dubious to me, regardless of what they said.

RoboPlato said:

This. Mainly the move to summer. There is always a crazy drought in the summer, so this game might have a full month to itself.

Live Free or Die · Jan 30, 2013

Not surprised. IG seems to be going downhill after going third party. At least that's the way it seems to me.

Suzzopher · Jan 30, 2013

I wish they'd go back to the old style

funkystudent · Jan 30, 2013

Putting it next to Gears/God of War was a death sentence anyway.

Surface of Me · Jan 30, 2013

Use the power of next-gen to make it look close to the original CG trailer.

alr1ght · Jan 30, 2013

EA probably just forgot about it too.

RoboPlato · Jan 30, 2013

Actually, a 4 player co-op game as a next gen launch title might do pretty well.

doniewhalberg · Jan 30, 2013

Really do think that moving this in as a next gen launch game would do this the world of good. A decent co-op new ip out at launch for new consoles would be nice, and as with most next gen launch games, they would really only need to buff it up graphically to justify the gen move.

Toppot · Jan 30, 2013

If it's delayed again I think that's good, gives them more time to polish and make the game better, plus gets it out of a very crowded period.

They haven't even put a non-Sony-exclusive game out yet. How can you possibly judge if they're going downhill or not yet?

Anyway...this game does not look great, but if they are taking some time to make it better I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

jstevenson · Jan 30, 2013

It actually started before that.

Making changes based on focus testing from 12 year olds was the death sentence.

antitrop · Jan 30, 2013

They absolutely needed to.

Maybe this game will actually have a chance, now.

nope

Go on...

Byronic Hero · Jan 30, 2013

Going back to their original style?

Doubt it, but that would defiantly make me want it more than what it is now.
