This delay had better result in a different interface for the PC version. If this ships with the XBox 360 controller interface I'm going to be a sad panda :(

Disappointing, but at least we have SupCom, STALKER, GRAW 2, Shadowrun, and probably Hellgate: London to tide us over until then. :)

Given the timing of this announcement, along with the original ship date, I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say this was associated with some things from the precert report for the Xbox 360.

If so, the delay will ultimately lead to a more stable product for everyone, so I'm not that worried.

I blame all the interviews! Taking up K-K-K-Kens valuable T-T-T-time.

Seriously, good they are taking the time to get it right. Sucks to be in the dev team though. Two more months of crunchy goodness.
