Prototype Delayed to 2009

Radical Studios' open-world action title Prototype has been delayed to an unspecified 2009 release date, GameSpot reports.

The game was originally scheduled for release on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC this coming fall.

"Since its announcement, Prototype has been regarded by many as groundbreaking and taking the open-world genre in new directions, and in the simplest explanation possible, we need more time to deliver the game the team initially set out to create," said publisher Sierra Entertainment.

Delays, ah well. Just another title to remove from the "Eagerly anticipated" section of my gamer brain for reclassification under "Whenever it comes out you can get to play it and it might not be shit and that'd be cool". At the moment it'll be sitting in there with Left 4 Dead and LittleBigPlanet.

I can barely even remember the last time I was excited for a major launch. HL2 was pretty exciting even after all the delays it suffered, but that's because it was HL2. Games like this don't have the appeal to keep me interested through delay after delay. Though It did look pretty awesome. With that kickass Deceive trailer recently I jumped onto fileshack and download every bit of media to date and watched it all at once.

LOL! These are the same douchebags that came out with that annoying self-promotion video piece touting their game as the work of artistic masterminds bordering on insanity and genious! Thanks Rockstar for putting these idiots in their place.

Yeah. Didn't see this coming at all. Maybe this means they'll re-add co-op?

Jesus christ, it really doesn't stop does it?

It seems that every single videogame on the market that is even SLIGHTLY anticipated gets delayed somehow.

It's absolutely unbelievable. Is it just impossible to stick to a release date? I mean, is it really that impossible to set a date that's practical and really makes sense with regard to your timeline?

My advice: Don't give a release month, don't even give any sort of release indication, unless you're absolutely SURE you can meet it.

Saw their GDC presentation and I was pretty let down. Their "next generation thinking" for Prototype was literally "more"- more stuff to do, more attacks, etc. That is what most developers do anyways, and not a very compelling approach to "next gen thinking". The game itself looked like a cross between the open world hulk games they've done, and something like The Darkness, where your character morphs into a monster. It wasn't very original, in my opinion.
