Red Faction: Guerilla PC Delayed

The PC edition of Red Faction: Guerilla has been officially delayed nearly three months beyond the console release, according to publisher THQ.

Retail listings for the title had marked the PC version of the shooter for an August 25 release as early as late April. The title is currently scheduled for a June 2 release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

While THQ was at first reluctant to respond on the issue, the company today confirmed the delay, saying: "The PC sku will ship a bit later then the consoles, during this summer."

not that i'd touch a console version of any game that has a pc equivalent, but judging by recent trends, the pc versions of most games tend to be console dumps, retaining the crappy textures and everything.

so perhaps them holding this back is to show that they want to give more than just the crappy console version on the pc, and are perhaps retouching textures and such?

i can only hope.

as for the pirate arguments, the ONLY things safe from pirates so far are all PS3/PSN releases, and Live releases. everything else has been getting raped for years, doesn't matter who likes to think otherwise.

Actually I guess they get 95% of their sales on the consoles anyway, so it makes sense to delay the majority of the pirated copies.

I hate to say it, but if I were a developer I would delay my PC releases as well. In fact I would probably say that there are no plans for a PC release until a month or 2 before I release it, which would be at least 6 months after the console releases.

That's a shame. Buy the time it comes out in a few months I won't care by then. Every site will have given all the details of the game away. I was looking fwd to getting this and playing it on my pc in a couple weeks. By the time this comes out in several months I'll buy whatever isn't an also-ran at that point.

Luckily this isn't a trend that happens often when it comes to 99% of the games. I'd probably care if I enjoyed the demo of this. Really was pretty average though IMO. I do know that it's only $40 on PC when it comes out this summer. Long as it's optimized well like most PC titles i may still give it a shot seeing as it's only $40.

Funny everyone assumes piracy yet games like Crysis that have high system requirements sell 2 million copies. That's not even including Digital Distribution. Many upon many PC games sell 1+ million copies. Wikipedia i believe has a large comprehensive list of all they know about. Complete with sources and such. That little bit that pirate these games don't even compare to the large amounts that buy them on PC).

I called this one almost....2 months ago I think?

lets thank the marketing suits for making decisions based on a vague worry that PC sales and piracy cuts into their precious console sku.

hey, at least they didn't try to spin this with the "taking time to polish the game for our important PC customers"..........
