Condemned 2 possibly delayed until April 4th?
Previously scheduled for release on the 11th of March, PlayFrance is now reporting that Sega has delayed the game further, pushing back the release to April 4th. With the demo for the game having also having been pushed back and now with no final release date of its own, it isn't difficult to see how the final game is not ready for release. Plus, the demo's delay is not the only sign of minor hang-ups, as the latest dev diary discusses the fact that the game has not gone to final certification due to a host of factors including, but not limited to, feature-creep. With the dev diary still listing the game as hitting the 11th, having been posted on the 7th, and discussing the fact the game hits "next month" there is still some question as to the official release date. But with both PlayFrance and Amazon listing the game as hitting on April 4th, it's possible that this title is condemned to hit late.

The problem is PlayFrance is a site catering to French gamers, i.e. Europeans. Therefore it's possible that the US date is still in tact.
Take this with a grain of salt

The euro-release is/was the 28th, it might just have been pushed a week for language reasons...or something, btw it is reviewed in the new Total Film mag i bought to day (4 of 5) so it can't be that far away...
I loved the first one, one of the best launch games and im really looking forward to this, but ill live if it takes a week longer than expected:)

My pre-order through Amazon hasn't changed and they always notify you if the game has been delayed and surely they would know by now since it ships out tuesday . I doubt they'll print out millions of copies on Monday have them delivered across the nation the next day , if it was going to be delayed hopefully we would know by now .

At Best Buy today, I saw that the PS3 version had been delayed to the 27th, but the Xbox 360 version had remained at the 12th or something to that effect.

i highly doubt its delayed the new commercials that just started playing within the last day or two advertise for a release date of march 13th. why would they continue to play these commercials if it wasnt true?

I hate Fox News Channel style headlines, where you say something ridiculous, but then put a ? behind it. Condemned 2 is coming out the 13th, period.

why isnt this on psfanboy as well
Deck @ Mar 9th 2008 4:03PM
@lord_monkey: What are you doing on PS3 fanboy instead of here? :-p But I guess to answer your question it would be because xbox360fanboy is SO on top of everything! ;) Ahead of the game!
In all seriousness... they probably just haven't gotten wind of it yet.

@ lord_monkey : Cause they're smart enough to know this doesn't concern the U.S. release date (only place that matters) .
