Easily one of next-generation's most promising action games, Strangehold impressed many with its interactive environments, allowing players to basically engage in a gymnastics performance while simultaneously firing away at the enemy in the typically flashy John Woo-style the game's been modeled after. Unfortunately, however, Midway announced today the game's been pushed back into the first quarter of 2007.

Furthermore, Stranglehold had been originally expected as a PlayStation 3 launch title,
something it will obviously now miss out on, but the game isn't too far off, as the company's first quarter ends in March

Probably a smart move, it would get buried in the holiday season.

New screens

well that sucks. not much else I can say.

:/

We already knew PS3's stranglehold was delayed....

 

[meltpotato]

my first reaction: ****
my second reaction: good. i dont plan on buying next gen until 07 anyway. plus this is a good sign that they are handling the title with care and producing a quality product.

damn.

well... it's all good... it wouldnt have much time to play it.... with gears of war in the same time frame.

I also didnt know there's going to be online play... that should be interesting.

If it helps the title, this is good news. If a next-this-generation game is so horribly rushed as some may be, it will really show; better publishers get the games worth all the money they're going to spend.

looks like CYF gets bloody.. maybe depending on how you're shot?

What he said.

I want this game to suceed so badly.....ever since I was a kid growing up, I've always dreamed of a Chow-Yun Fat/John Woo game.........this game ****ING NEEDS TO SUCEED

I'm glad it was delayed

 

[Sallokin]

From what I understand most previews and hands on impressions with this game have been pretty positive. It can only get better with the delay. I really want it to do well. It seems it's in good hands.

So... what's going to be the first full priced UE3.0 title now then? This was supposed to be the first out of the gate.

 

[squatingyeti]

The first "full Priced" are you talking about $59.99? If you are, it looks like Gears will be as they said that will ship at $59.99 and collecters ed at $69.99.

I'm saying a non XBLA/budget title. I figure that unless Fatal Intertia gets pushed back like every other UE3.0 game, it will be the first by default.

[edit]Blah ignore that, it'll be Gears of course. Wasn't thinking clearly.
