Eh its a smart decision. But then the problem lies in the fact that... they could've easily delayed the other two rather than Killzone 2 which was touted to be some insane killer app since E3 2005.
Then again, everyone's probably desensitized from the delays lol.

I agree. They should've pushed out Resistance 2, since there's already been a Resistance this generation. But that would make too much sense.

As a launch owner I disagree. We had a serious lack of titles for what seemed like an eternity. We should be swimming in great games, not expect one per quarter. Non ps3 owners should be inundated with reasons to buy, and 1 game a quarter is laughable. KZ2 was promised to us eons ago, in that time Resistance has released 2 games.

But then they made the comment at Sony Day about how Insomniac always delivers on time.

Or how about this idea, delay none of them and make MORE games to release Q1-2009.

Good riddance! I mean that in a good way. It's bad enough I need to take out a loan just to afford all the PS3 AAA titles releasing in Q3, not having to worry about one less title is just fine with me. My wallet is also grateful.

I think Killzone 2 will be better but, you gotta admit, Resistance 2 is pretty humongous!!!
I think they'll get more lasting appeal from Killzone 2 if they have it last. Save the best for last, right? Lol.

they didn't say that, they said that they don't want their games to compete with each other, and since R2 already has a track record they decided to put it for the 08 holiday lineup...

I would have preferred that they push SOCOM or Resistance 2 back to February.

Those are different teams.Nothing to do with Guerilla also I don't have anything against 1 goty per year.
Also Socom will pwn.The PSP games were great and the them pure win.

I think it's good. I want Resistance NOW and if this gives them more time to polish Killzone even more, then it might be even more impressive.
Last year sucked. Do you not remember? Dozens of amazing games all launching in the latter months... It'd be better to have one high-profile game per month, rather than pack them all in right before Christmas. I have to spend money on gifts for my family at that time, not games for me, so I have to end up waiting until February anyhow to afford all the stuff I want.
The less clumped together the releases are, the better. It'd be nice if a good game actually came out in the summer, for once. July, especially, is usually pretty barren. Put something in there.

June is getting Metal Gear. Konami has the summer all to itself from what I've seen.

I'm glad that one of the 27 awesome titles coming out this fall was pushed back. It's a shame, though, that it had to be Killzone 2. I would have been fine with Resistance 2 being pushed back. This is probably a good sign, though, because Sony thinks Killzone 2 will bring in enough sales to compensate pushing it back.
