Crysis 2 Delayed; Need For Speed Shift 2 Coming
:(
Sad news came today from EA's quarterly results, which detailed games that were slated for the first quarter of 2011.
Crysis 2 was originally intended to be a holiday season 2010 game, but now it's been pushed back to 2011, both for consoles and PC.
While that news is depressing for those looking for the next killer app that will melt their new PC hardware, there is a bright side with the mention of a Need For Speed Shift 2 – an unannounced game that had earned back many NFS fans with the first game from last year.
What was the reason for pushing Crysis 2 back? EA's first answer was to better position it for marketing opportunities. The positive side effect is that this gives Crytek more time to polish the game, no doubt lifting a huge weight off their shoulders.
"We moved to the game to a better marketing window in the March quarter," Jeff Brown, VP of Corporate Communications told IGN. "This will also give the Crytek team more time to polish a great title."

How dare you compare the all-mighty Duke to a whimp.
For shame!!!!
I'm happy to wait as long as they're polishing it. Starcraft 2 was well worth the wait
I believe that's the whole point. They're not even working on the game right; the original time table is completely feasible if they would just get to work. You didn't think a game company would give an unrealistic release date just to string us along, did you?
im not convinced that its unfinished either. i think they just dont want to release at the same time as all the other pre-xmas stuff like COD and MOH. they want to release in a less crowded space, and are just making us wait longer so they can get more sales.
We can only hope!!! They need to focus on their original crowd, and make the game streamline on PC.
And Crysis... Pitty, since the first 2 stories were good and I hoped to see the 3rd before new year.
Cheers!
