It would have sold like shit if it actually came out in October. At least it has more of a chance in early 2012.

I think this is wise as they'll get slaughtered in Oct/Nov as there are too many big boys coming out. Go late Jan and I may check it out.

Great news, was worried it would get overlooked due to its launch date, even though I'm really looking forward to it I can't say I would of been playing it over Dark Souls on release day. Releasing it early 2012 will mean getting all of my attention.

Not to mention now they have more time to put that M rating to work.

It's a good thing that they're polishing it.

This game was gonna go mostly unnoticed in the holiday rush anyway, so I take that as a positive (although I'm not that interested in it)

I won't be buying Twisted Metal any year.

Yeah, I came here to say pretty much the same thing.

They should at least get a beta out during the holidays, no? I mean, this will need a beta anyway; I  imagine the online is a huge attraction to this game. It would be a neat Christmas present from Sony, that's for sure:) 
 
Whatever, I'm not even that hyped for it. I need to see it more. I feel like they've barely showed it. I've seen a few bad trailers and one demo on IGN during e3 that was pretty cool (Sweet Tooth's van turns into a robot!). But we gotta see more. I'm surprised Sony's not hyping it more yet.

N NOooooo

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They probably have a better chance of standing out sometime next year as opposed to the holiday season anyways. I see this as a positive all around.

Is it just me, or when you read the title, you said to yourself" And I won't be buying it next year either."

NOOOOO I wanted this game more than anything else this year... but on the bright side I won't have to play like 3 games on the same day anymore. :I

So Sony is down to Uncharted 3 and Resistance 3....

OMFG !! Sony is doom!

Its logical. They were facing so many games that they just could not compete. This will give them more time to both polish the game and hopefully sell more copies :)

or any other year probably

I wonder how the Jeff feels about Rage's multiplayer being Car Combat? You think this could help in the long run since people playing Rage's multiplayer will be like oh this is fun, twisted metal is like this right?

When you read what Jaffe has to say about the delay, you will understand that it's for the best. I think this is the first time I have been excited about a game being delayed. I can't wait to see how much better it gets within those few extra months, as I already think this is going to be the best Twisted Metal yet.

Perhaps this is to do with the age rating given to it. I can imagine with a mature rating they are wanting to change up certain aspects of teh game.
 
My bad, read the last paragraph in the article.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww...how disappointing!

The fewer games I have to buy this fall/winter the better. My wallet is going to be sad enough as it is.

exactly

Whatever. Polish is good.

this is good, i wouldnt have been able to buy it anyways, what with skyrim, bf3, uncharted, gears 3, batman etc etc...

It's better this way so it gets out of the way of the big fall games.

Probably for the best.  It would just get lost in the sea of holiday releases: MW3, BF3, UC3, Forza 4, Skyrim, and Skyward Sword, to name a few.

Probably for the best, the next few months are stacked with blockbuster releases and Twisted Metal would have long been forgotten within a week.

TM would be buried by other games if they sent them to shelves in the coming months, so this isn't so disappointing.

I would have bought it on launch this year but personally I'll have a better time convincing friends to buy it early next year once they're sick of MW3 multiplayer.

I read the headline and thought, "How did you know I wasn't going to buy Twisted Metal?" Then I realized it was delayed.

That's great, I didn't want to buy it anyways.
