Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption gets hit with delay photo

Originally set for an April 27 release date, Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption has been hit with a minor delay.

Publisher Take-Two Interactive announced the delay in First Quarter fiscal 2010 financial results report; the title is now set to ship in North America on May 21, 2010.

The short delay comes after the recent rumors of internal developmental issues, with one source saying the title "was a complete disaster for most of 2009 and previous... it has since turned around a little bit, but there are huge problems with it still."

Last I saw it, the game looked pretty damned solid, and that was in the summer of 2009. Let's hope the slight delay will allow Rockstar to put on that extra coat of polish, because Red Dead Redemption is one of my most eagerly anticipated titles for 2010.

I want this game yesterday, but it has so much potential that I don't mind if they take an extra month to ensure that it isn't squandered. I've been in love with this game since the PAX gameplay demo.

Damn... another push back? Granted it isn't pushed back too far but... oh well, would rather wait for a good game than a unpolished one. :/

I think SSF4 comes out on that day, so I wouldn't have bought it then anyway.

Dam I am so excited about this game, such a fresh take on the GTA engine. I really cant believe it is a little over two months away hopefully there aren't any more speed bumps and well all be shot-tin buffalo on our horses.

But whatever. More polish isn't a bad thing by any means.

I still have a laundry list of games to play/finish, so it's fine by me if they take some more time to make the game better.

No, Nick you are wrong. Red Dead Redemption is set to release May 18th in North America and May 21st in Europe. Check your sources before typing something. Because once you are wrong it brings your credibility way down. The article you list is from January 13 2010 it isn't anything recent and the problem was resolved? So, why list it since its already past? You shouldn't start rumors

Suck. But if it takes an extra month for the game to get all super nice and get rid of rough edges and bugs, I'm okay with it. Still though, I wants mah candy!

It's a bit disappointing but I'd rather get a polished game later than a broken game sooner.

This game better not suck. Hope they get all the issues ironed out.

I just want this game to be done right. I hope this extra time means we get the best Rockstar has ever made. I'm cool with the delay anyway, it gives me time to really get into Splinter Cell Conviction and SSFIV.

Make it count, Rockstar. Make it count. I have been excited to explore the world of RDR since I first caught wind of it. Work those employees so hard their wives complain again.
