Doesn't change the fact that I won't be buying it.
I mean, they just complained about development issues. That always translates to shitty ports! Thankfully, there are plenty of good games this Christmas. |

WTF! THQ are really F'ed up. You mean it's so bad they are only releasing it in Europe.. Thanks THQ! Another shitty game on the shelf that'll probably sell because of the 'uninformed gamer'.

It is a Shame that Sandblast was shut down. They were a good bunch of guys. but also, I hate Pandemic for selling the franchise off, they could have done wonders with the series.. much more than the stupid repetitive crap Mercenaries is.

this is a market share issue why try and sell it to the 5 us ps3 owners? in europe it's more of an even split so they have to sell it to both in japanoland they might not ship the 360 version although as it's probably the proper version i reckon they will

Because the first 2 games were developed by Pandemic (who created the series).

"Paid timed exclusive... nothing else"
No, in fact it's a closed studio that has caused the situation. Read the info you have been given. |

Looks like a case of PS3 dev issues pushing that release out. The US have decided to ditch it and run with the 360 version to hit Xmas and perhaps tie in with marketing they have already paid for, EU have decide to wait for the PS3 version to be ready and avoid the Xmas rush and save the marketing for the dual release.
I think they will probably sell more in the EU where it won't be swamped by the higher profile stuff in the run up to Christmas. I thought the first was interesting, but not as fun to play as it should have been. |

Meh, it was fun chucking cars around with your mind powers though or flinging them across the city with your UFO tractor beam :)

A North American SKU would likely have had English, Spanish and French on it, all languages that would also be included in the European SKU, which suggests that it would be dead easy to make a version for our American friends. And with a release date of next Tuesday they didn't just suddenly decide they weren't going to have it ready in time. So either they've got massive problems with the PS3 version that they're hoping they can fix in the extra few weeks they've got for the Euro release, or they weren't able to get it through Sony's NA certification in time for some reason. Either way, any Americans that really want it will be able to import it if they're willing to pay for it. There be eBay business to be had here.
Or the dev team will about face and release an NA version at a later date. |

The Dev team won't because as soon as the PS3 version is done, so are they. But if THQ do close Sandblast as soon as the EU version is out the door, then who is going to do the PAL - NTSC conversion? THQ.. LOL, dought it.

"When did a US company first work on the PAL version? "
IIRC they typically work on both, it's just another requirement as far as the dev house is concerned "And why shouldn't the publisher release the game in other regions?" Lots of reasons. Firstly, there may not be enough PS3 owners in US/JP to justify the cost of localisation, legal checks and getting release approval from SCEA and SCEJ. Secondly it could be that the EMEA version was done but the US/JP versions need extra work to pass certification. I mean nobody's going to really buy this game anyway, it's all about minimising loss at this point, if they think they can recoup sales in EMEA for the PS3 great. |
