No Mercenaries 2 for a few months News

PC PlayStation 2 Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Robert Purchese

24 January, 2008

Electronic Arts has told Eurogamer that we will see nothing on Mercenaries 2 "within the next few months".

It confirms speculation from retailers and lack of advertising that the title will not make its currently scheduled 8th February release.

No reason for the delay was given, although Pandemic boss Josh Resnick reassured us last year that Mercenaries 2 would not be rushed to meet a release date - after moving it out of the Christmas line-up.

Back then bug-swatting and extra polish were named as the culprits behind the hold-up.

Mercenaries 2 is in development for PS3, 360, PC and PS2.

Well, better a late release than buggy game, I guess.

Why are they bothering with a PStwo port?

If they are all being handled by the same developer, instead of outsourcing the PStwo build, what are the chances of the next-gen builds being nothing more than last-gen buff up jobs?

A June/July release for this, I reckon. And I'd rather play this than GTA. Boo.

money. there are a lot of ps2s out there.

the ps2 version is also being developed alongside but independantly of the current gen (see what i've done there) versions. it's the one being scaled back rather than the others buffed up.

anyhoo, not happy its been pushed further but needs must and all that ... /prays its good

The game looked awful the last time I saw it (August 2007) so all these delays have got to be a good things in my book.

I'm more looking to Pandemic for Saboteur. That'll not be for ages, then, I take it.

This and Fable 2 are top of my most wanted lists, fighting for top spot.........the delays on both are killing me, I've had to resort to wanting sub-standard games such as GTA IV and MGS 4!!! lol
