Superman Returns Superman Returns video game delayed

[The Lumberjack]

We all saw how much care they put into Batman Begins.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Ha. I don't know what to think of this. I don't like how people automatically are saying it guarantees a better game. The only thing guaranteed right now is that we have to wait even longer. **** I was looing forward to it too. Good job EA.

 

[The Fallen]

As long as the game is great, that's all that matters to me. I don't want a rush job.

 

[O'Haire]

This news angers me.

 

[Mentok]

ROFL... God bless E.A

I predicted this already.

No game footage, No game screens, Not on the E3 booth list, Not on the XBL E3 list..... etc.

Seriously, no big game has ever been this close to relese without...

1- Screen shots.
2- Game footage.
3- Gameplay previews.

E.A sucks yet again. I wont bother getting the game at all now (unless its with a super collection of DVDs)

Meh. I like this news, especially given the track records of Superman games. At least EA understands the importance of pushing a quality product with this game. I just hope I can swing me a PS3 this fall.

quality???
they are having serious problem assembly the game as infromed earlier by a poster.
most of the stuffs have left!

 

[Masut]

Quality and EA don't go together. But who knows, maybe a pig will fly.

Well, it depends on the developer working for E.A.

99% are utter crap but they do own a few good developers... UBISOFT is one that comes to mind. If their earlier work on the Prince of Persia titles or Splinter Cell series is not proof enough go over to the games board and look at the video in the 'Assassins Creed' thread... Next Gen gaming how it should really be

You're right. I shouldn't have spoken in generalities (is that a word? It's in Anchorman so must be, lol).

From GameSpot:

Superman Returns was originally set to arrive on shelves for a number of systems alongside the movie's release this June. In the call, EA executive VP and general manager of North American publishing Frank Gibeau explained why the Man of Steel won't make that date.

"The ambitious nature of the open-world design proved to be fairly challenging, with regard to hitting the launch window for the film," Gibeau told investors. "And we wanted to look at a long-term opportunity here with Superman, so as a result we moved the product release to the fall to coincide with the DVD at holiday. Actually, from a publishing standpoint, the DVD release at holiday is a nice combination. There are more vehicles for us to market and promote the game, and we're going to get a better game this fall than we would have with the movie release."

ROFL

Well, look at it this way, with another half year they might actually make a half decent game.... Or maybe not

 

[Milkman95]

Who cares..........

You gotta be kidding me? What's next, the movie is postponed to get rid of the piano wielding kid and CGI tune ups?

As someone who works in the game industry making PC and console video games, I never quite understood reactions like yours. On the one hand, gamers demand games NOW, but on the other they b*tch and whine when the game is 'unfinished'.

A common quote from disgruntled gamers: "I can't believe I paid for a game that's still in beta!! What junk!!

You should be GLAD that they aren't releasing a half-assed, sloppy, hurried game. It'll be all that much more polished and fun to play when it finally IS released.

I was looking forward to playing this game too. But oh well.

I know that a delay is often good news. It means they want the game as good as it can get by the time we play it. But people are complaining not just because of the delay, but because with EA, this might not mean more quality.

I don't work for EA - in fact, they're somewhat of a competitor for us. But I do think they have a good track record of making great games. Of course, you can't please everyone, much less annoying, rapid fan boys who aren't willing to compromise on anything.

Not a gamer

Thankfully, I'm not.......

I guess I'll be sympathetic and say I'm sorry to those guys who were anticipating the game so much, but to me, I could care less. I'm the biggest Batman fan ever, but I have yet to even see the Batman Begins game.......

i had fun with that game

You don't know what you're missing . Games can often add a new element to storytelling that you can't get just by 'watching'. For example, I loved the first Riddick movie, Pitch Black. Wasn't too crazy about the second movie. But I bought the Pitch Black game, Escape From Butcher Bay, and it rocked! It told the story of Riddick before the first movie, so it gave me a better understanding of Riddick's existance and how he came to be the way he was in Pitch Black and the next movie.

Heh heh. I'm not a fanboy. But I do like developers to respect the source material of what they're making. Whether it be a film, book or whatever. EA's record for things such as James Bond, Batman Begins etc is not good. I have wasted good money on games like From Russia with Love and Batman Begins.
