One of the eagerly awaited games of 2008 was Killzone 2 but it was delayed. If you are still wondering, why the PS3 shooter was delayed, here is the answer. Replying to a comment on the official PlayStation Blog, Ron Eagle from Sony Computer Entertainment America indicated that scheduling reasons prompted them to delay Killzone 2.
This is what Ron Eagle commented on the official PlayStation Blog:
- Just wanted to add a quick reply on the “delay” of Killzone 2 to Feb 2009. To be clear, there is nothing wrong or causing a delay to the development of the title. We (SECA) had to look at the fall calendar with SOCOM, LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Resistance 2, plus some PSN titles and make a decision where each game should come out. Killzone 2 was moved to Feb 2009 to make sure we didn’t have three shooters in the marketplace competing for retail dollars during the same holiday season. The game will be great and it will be out in Feb 2009 in both Europe and North America.
Hope this helps – alot of times we gamers read delay and think something is wrong, in this case, it was a pure management decision.
Well, there you go. Now you know why Killzone 2 for the PS3 was delayed. But gamers with Sony’s next generation console shouldn’t be disappointed as they can look forward to games such as Resistance 2 and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift.
