Red Dead Redemption and Mafia II delayed photo

In the same conference call that carried the exciting news of BioShock 2’s release date, Take-Two informed listeners that 2K Czech’s Mafia II and Rockstar San Diego’s Red Dead Redemption have been delayed until early fiscal 2010.

The reason for the delay is “to allow additional development time for the titles and to maximize their full potential in terms of the quality of the player experience and market performance.”  Take-Two is looking out for you ... and its bottom line.

The two titles could hit at any time between November 2009 and April 2010. They will more than likely land on store shelves in December, when I’m flat broke because I just bought the four billion other AAA titles that debut during the holiday season.

Mafia II I could care less about, but Red Dead Redemption has taken it's sweet time and by no means do I want it rushed out just to make a holiday deadline. Take your time with it Rockstar, I'll be here when it's ready.

I'm annoyed, but I have complete faith that they'll bring us RDR when it's ready, and this is one game that I want them to get as close to perfect as possible.

As sad as I am that I wont get to play some RDR this year, hopefully it'll be time well spent.

Good for them and good for us.. hold those games back until they are ready! I'm fed up with buggy, half finished shit getting released just because they get rushed at the final stages. i would happily wait another year if it meant that the game was gonna be awesome when it arrived. Im looking forward to both these titles and think a delay with this reason is a good thing :)

I'm glad they're delaying these titles. Nothing sucks worse than a game that wasn't put together right.
