Killzone 2
- may have been delayed again, this time until next February, but the move is the result of strategy, not problems, says Sony.
In a comment posted on the PlayStation Blog, SCEA PR man Ron Eagle explains that Sony pushed Killzone 2's release back to prevent it from getting lost in the flurry of PlayStation 3 games being released this fall.
"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," said Eagle.
"Alot [sic] of times we gamers read delay and think something is wrong, in this case, it was a pure management decision," he continued.
It's a plausible enough explanation. Sony is doing everything it can to make sure Killzone 2 has its moment in the spotlight, and setting it apart from other highly visible titles is one way to do that. So, what do you think? Is he telling the truth, or spinning like mad?
