"This sort of thing had better not become a trend."

Isn't it already a trend?

I have read some of the 360 people talking about the demo and they seemed a little disapointed with it. If they didnt like something about and the PS3 version is even worse (as seems to be the trend with cross platform developement lately), maybe is was bad enough to not release. Just a thought

Is that Epic I see looking shifty in the corner!?

Being a big John Woo fan, I will be picking this up for my 360 when it comes out in a couple of weeks, since I really do desire to play this game as soon as possible. However, my preorder for the PS3 collector's edition will stay as well, since Hard Boiled on BD really is too good to pass up.

"I have read some of the 360 people talking about the demo and they seemed a little disapointed with it."
In all honesty, I was very happy with the demo. I was expecting a half-assed Max Payne clone (with Chow Yun Fat replacing Sam Lake), but it actually appears to be a game that deserves to stand next to Remedy's title, if not outright taking the throne of bullet-time shooters.

I haven't played a demo more than twice since Front Mission 4 on the PS2, but I probably did the first level of Stranglehold at least five times.

Wait, I thought we already knew this news... didn't I read here before that the PS3 version was coming out after the PC and 360 version?

As sucky as it is, in a way I'm quite relieved to see that developers are taking the time to bring the quality of the PS3 build up to the 360 (or at least try to, or surpass it). I'd much rather wait extra long for the game and have it be nicely polished and playable than get it the same time as 360 users and have it be a half-assed port.

Besides, so what if we have to wait a little longer? We're still going to get to play it. Hey, having it come out on another system gives us the chance to find out if it's any good before buying it.

I like the 360 demo of Stranglehold. I was not interested before but now I am. Unfortunately, there is the matter of Bioshock this month and Halo 3 next so I do not think I can squeeze this one. Way too many games coming out on my 360 this Fall with COD4 and Mass Effect. PS3 owners should snatch it up whenever it ships though.

This is ridiculous. I was really looking forward to this game. So should I wait or just buy it for the 360? Decisions, decisions.

I'm fed up. Epic better get their engine and licensee support up to speed. Fast.

Yeah duders I thought we had covered this ground before. This game will suck, or at the very least disappoint.

I think it'd be awesome if all our games were late and they were all better as a result (see Oblivion).

GRT, it was always coming a few weeks after the PC/360 version, but before there WAS a date, and now there is not. Hence, 'delayed indefinitely'.

I MIGHT pick this up... not too sure. Looks interesting and I love the idea of pressing any button and lookin' whickedly awesome. But school's comin up and Warhawk/Lair/Heavenly Sword will already be my death =).

Also, who knows, it could be sticking Hard Boiled on thats the cause of all the delay - since they gotta deal with all the licensing issues and whatnot.

LOL @ wonway01 Y tell Stories... Everyone on the 360 site loved it, well 97-1/2% lol

The Demo was Awesome!! Was very impressed, I thought it was gonna suck!
Wanted to pick up the ps3 version w/ HB, but I'm not waiting!!! So 360 version it is!! + I like the 360 controller for FPS/TPS.

Errr... that was regarding the EU version, which has always been a bit up in the air.

I have personally confirmed with Midway North America that the U.S. date is indeed set for "9/17 for PS3 here in the U.S."

I loved the 360 demo. I wasn't really all into this game but I think I'll be renting it after playing the demo... it had a very high fun factor.

It already is a trend for PS3 games to be delayed... Reading all the posts here it looks like this will def hurt PS3 sales of this game meaning that people who own both systems will pick up the 360 version now... That sucks!!! I don't know how Sony expects to keep up the momentum they've had lately with delays like this constantly popping up, I know its not directly Sony's fault but sheeesh, something needs to be done about this shit!!

I played the X360 game and it was very cool. The graphics could be a little better but I am very picky. I am getting. I was trying to see if I wanted it for my X360 or Ps3 and he choice has been made for me.

it's not delayed indefinitely, folks. looks like someone at Midway forgot to attach the release date.
