THQ Delay Saint’s Row 2

THQ Delay Saint’s Row 2
Written Friday, May 30, 2008 by Dan Webb

THQ announced earlier that Saints Row 2 will now be delayed from August 26th to October 14th. The press release cited “product quality and marketing considerations” as reasons for the delay of the title.

Marketing considerations... You mean closer to Christmas and avoiding the release of the GTA IV downloadable content then THQ? Why didn’t you just say that.

well if a delay is to make the game better then i see no problem with it, at least if its only 2 months, 2 years would be too much obviously

Ah well, theres plenty more games for me to be finishing anyway, but my worry is that hopefully Gears 2 is released at the end of Nov or else this game will be gaining dust fairly quickly!

Yea they are scared they aren't going to sell many copies, because of GTA, also they are lucky to release before November when GoW2 comes out.

GTA4 was delayed, and for quite a bit longer. Any delay for quality is always fine by me.

That sucks, Saints 2 is gonna kick f**k out of GTA "OMG waste of a disc" 4 (yes I've got it, so don't say I'm calling it because I can't get it), but at least they can polish it up a bit longer, delays are usually a good thing. But at least I've now got Rock Band to keep me occupied. Matter of fact, I'm gonna go play Monsoon now, bye...

I'm really looking forward to this game but am quit happy for this delay. I'm going to be really busy with other games over the summer and pushing this back will allow me to finish those so when this is released i can enjoy it.

Sorry to those hardcore Saints Row fans though!

I bet they played GTA IV and got a bunch of ideas on new content to implement. I figured this would happen.

Following in the footsteps of Rockstar yet again, hopefully this game will be good, but proves yet again that this is just a copy of the GTA series

I'll be picking up this game over GTA4. It may be a copy of GTA, but it doesn't take itself so damn seriously. If anything, Saint's Row freely admits that it copies off of GTA, and in doing so it manages to get so much right, and has fun along the way.

It's like RB, only with a more controversial game.

I was looking forawrd to this game SO much more than GTA4. Of course, I wasn't a fan of the GTA franchise (the only playing I did was jacking cars and killing, no missions or anything). So since GTA4 was a pleasant surprise, I REALLY can't wait for this game. Ripoff or no, the first one was awesome.

Actually I'm betting it had something to do with Mercenaries 2 coming around the same time. Since most people will have GTA 4 already, they might not want another game similar and will go for something different.

Zyxomma, How does GTA 4 take itself too seriously ?

No, Why has you forsaken me THQ!?!? Oh well, as long as it truly does make it the best game in existence, I'll be happy.

GTA 4 copied abunch of stuff from saints row, hopefully this out sells gta and puts that lame franchise to rest! SR2 FTW

Of course they delayed it after seeing how awesome GTA IV was.

Josh. This won't outsell GTA. Not for shit. I'm willing to put money on it. It didnt steal a thing from saints row. If anything saints row "borrowed" from GTA.

GTA 4 is TEN TIMES BETTER THAN SAINTS ROW.

I think Saints Row 1&2 are better than GTA because you can do LOADS MORE STUFF than on GTA. So you'll spend more hours on Saints Row than on GTA. And i know, Saints Row copied some things from GTA but so did GTA! like the cell phone. I also think think that Saints Row has way better Multiplayer than GTA. the delay isn't as bad as the GTA delay what was about 4 months. for the 4 months waiting, GTA has disappointed me.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
