Midnight Club Reverses in to October

Midnight Club Reverses in to October
Written Thursday, July 03, 2008 by Dan Webb

I've never really understood the real reason why publishers give release dates to the public when they clearly weren't going to hit it. Rockstar is the latest publisher to pull this trick... First GTA 4 and now Midnight Club: LA.

Today they announced that the upcoming Midnight Club title was going to be available on October 7th in North America and October 10th in Europe, over a month later than the original early September title which was released in April.

Seriously and this goes to every publisher... If you aren't 110% sure you are going to hit a release date, don't waste our time by giving us a release date and getting our hopes up... only to crush them! You cruel, cruel people.

Don't care to much about Midnight Club but I do agree with the idea of picking a release date with 110% reality behind this date. Fight the right to wrong release dates, it won't hurt us to bad to know its gonna be release not that soon ather than very soon but maybe not.

Dub Edition is the best so far, hands down. I hope LA is as good or better of an effort. I am excited, even if I do have to wait another month now. Oh well, Fable 2 and MC: LA in the same month. I'll have to budget them in now....

There will be plenty of other games to play in the meantime. Hopefully the developers will have time to get it right.

I'd much rather they say 'It'll come out in January' and then suprise us by saying 'The new release date is now in October' - how bout develoers bring it FORWARD for once

Peace

they announce it to a date where they know its not going to be complete because it gets people wanting it more and more... its pretty smart actually

I'd rather have them push back the launch date than for them having to patch a billion glitches out. I love Rockstar and Blizzard for this: "It's ready when it's ready".

Hmmm... I loved DUB Edition, but with the likes of Grid, PGR4, Forza, Paradise etc, not sure there is room for this one in my collection.

As for releasing in October... Jeez Rockstar, that is wrong in the head, going up against Fallout, Fable, Dead Space, Far Cry 2, Prince of Persia, Mirrors Edge etc. Crazy.

That said, will all those titles make October?

maybe rent this. i played the 1st one on ps2 and it totally sucked and that put me off buying 2 and 3

Not to be a prick dan.. but if it reversed into another release date would it not be coming out sooner?

@16. the first one was an awful game, however 2,3 and dub more than made up for it. hopefully this one will be no exception.

2 and 3 were fun, I never played 1

I don't think I'll buy this though. Maybe rent

I'm thinking the investors want some sort of a date to make them happy, and most of the time it's the suits that give the release date and not the devs themselves.

Not to defend the suits or anything, but yeah, I'd love to be surprised rather than disappointed.

I think this is just a problem with Rockstar in perticular because they are the only ones that i know of who have done this

Men I hope Midnight Club LA, is better then Midnight Club 3... because when DUB came into the picture Midnight Clubs turn to trash.. not like Midnight Club II.
