Tecmo Koei delays Quantum Theory and Trinity to TBA photo

Two of Koei Tecmo's bigger original IPs have been delayed, with not even an estimated launch date given. Both Quantum Theory and Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll have been pushed back from their original release dates and given "TBA" status. That kind of doesn't look too good. 

Originally announced for the Xbox 360 and PS3 for March 25, Quantum Theory has been delayed for reasons of quality control. This might mean the studio just wants it polished, or it could mean the game's current condition is dogcrap. Trinity is a PS3-exclusive RPG and was also slated for March. Again, Koei Tecmo claims that the additional time is required to improve quality.

I have a feeling only I was looking forward to both of these games, so I doubt it's a huge loss to anyone. Still, both games looked fairly interesting, and if Tecmo Koei genuinely wants to polish it before release, then that's fine by me.

Quantam Theory doesn't look interesting at all. Trinity could be cool though but it's too early to tell for sure.

Quantum Theory looks terrible anyway.

The only reason I'm even half interested in Quantum is to see how the girl plays. I'm waiting to see a radical difference between Quantum and Gears that makes me give a crap about it. So far, nothing.

Trinity I know nothing about, but if it's a PS3 exclusive, I'm required to play it.

It's better for them to come out and say "We're delaying this until it's done" than for them to rush a crappy product out the door...or wait until the day of its release and say "Oops, we have to delay it another day" (I'm looking at you, Sony+White Knight Chronicles).

Quantum Theory was in a perfect window with rumors of a Gears 3 coming in the fall. If they delay it to anywhere near when Gears 3 is rumored to hit, it'll get killed in the western marketplace.

That's a shame, I wanted to buy QT.

Who cares if its like Gears? Gears is a cool enough game. I commend KT just for trying this out and hope they get it right. This is a japanese dev, paying attention to a western game design, and carving something from it, so I hope it turns out okay for them. KT need a bigger catalogue of IP.

I guess it could be because of game release grid lock. QT could get lost in it all.

It's too pad Trinity is a PS3 exclusive. I'm way more interested in a Japanese attempt at Western Fantasy than a Japanese attempt at Western Action. They almost never get shooters right.
