My TV guide for next week just came in, and as always, they have a section dedicated to games. There is a column that says "Bad Luck Top 3". I'll translate it;
On the immense Gameconvention in Leipzig there were messages about games that are not going to make it this year again. Bad Luck, but hopefully the delay doesn't mean cancelled!!! Here is the bad luck top 3;
1. Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)
Believe it or not, but the rumours that GT4 slides to 2005, are getting stronger. If so, that's because Sony can't get the online part finished. Lets hope we're wrong, just like the many insiders.
I'll translate the 2 other games for the people interested;
2. Brothers in Arms (pc)
We already thought Ubisoft was too optimistic, but now it's official: this WWII shooter is not going to make the winter. There appear to be some problems with the sublime A.I. and the command-your-teammates concept.
3. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (pc)
Is this the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time this Tsjernobyl shooter has been delayed? Ah well, maybe the developers want to incorporate too many elements into their game. Or maybe they want to avoid release at about the same time as Half Life 2. Early 2005 then.
Now how dare they say that about GT4. We all know that the online problems ware problems of LAST year. KY said the online part is now ready. And no insider has ever said it is going to be delayed. And the fact that they already mention rumours.... what is this game doing on spot number one on the Bad Luck Top 3 then. I don't know if they are right about the other games though....
For anyone interested, if they are Dutch maybe, it's the Veronica Magazine.
