The Getaway delayed: ''Why do they do this it's pathetic''

TimeSplitters2 delayed: ''NOOOOOOOOOOOOO''

And other various titles ''NOOOOO''
''WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO US???''

They're just games people can't you wait a bit for them. I like games as much as anyone and am trying to get a job in the games industry but why can't you wait for them instead of getting worked up cos they're delayed. All seems a bit geeky to me.

Like criticising people's interests and arguing on message boards?

You have a good point, however when games which you hve waited months for are delayed it is very fustrating. For example, Max Payne was delayed loads of times and that wasn't as good as i thought, it was too short.

I think thats partly because of the lack of "start from scratch" in Vice City, that The Getaway has to deal with. Where Vice City can adapt/modify/improve the original GTA3 formula, The Getaway has to think up entirely new systems, many of which don`t work, meaning they have to go back to the drawing board.

Its been the same for both Vice City and SSX Tricky. Once one game is out, its not hard to recreate a similar thing (another good example is FIFA).

I was talking about The Getaway, which has been in devlopment for 3 years. Oddly though, it gets delayed more than Vice City despite spending longer in devlopment.

Yes I can find other sources of entertainment, but that won't stop me getting annpoed when a game I've been waiting to play for tha last few years gets delayed once more. I can't really see what's so un-civilised with that, especially when things like TV, Movies and Music, rarely get the kind of delays games do.
