So I have been losing my mind, I needz this game to be released and I can't seem to find a reason as to why they pushed the release date back. Does anyone have a clue or a reason why this was done?

There is such a thing as too much polish take Duke Nukem forever, now it's too the point that I don't even want to see anything about the game. But I'll try to be more patient lets hope it's out in early spring

That's true i suppose. How long has the community been waiting like close to 10 years? A good example is TF2 that was forever in development and was excellent at the end.

I think because they needed more time to perfect the entire game. Beta's have been released in several locations, so in the months leading up to the release, they are trying to get as much feedback as possible to completely perfect the game. I feel the frustration you do mate, but it's for the good of the game. That way it won't be a complete disappointment.

Beta is out? O_O since when?!

i don't think he means it like that

No, zzz not out to the public. I mean the certain gaming events and stuff. As well as those game reviewers who have exclusive access....yeah you know what I mean,,

Oh thank god... i thought i missed something Dx

Richard Ham and Paul Wedgwood talk about balacing the game more and add touch ups here and there.

touch ups dont take 4-7 months

It does svck that it was pushed back but like others have said, it adds alot of time for polish and such, and plus i have PLENTY of games to pass the time, Halo Reach espically. and Dead Rising 2, Little Big Planet 2, Kingdom hearts Birth By Sleep, AC"Brotherhood, Killzone 3, Infamous 2, etc. trust me with all these games itll go fast.

VG247: Brink was recently delayed into 2011, which is kind of a bummer, because I want to buy it. Could you explain why you felt like the game needed a little extra time in the oven?

Paul Wedgwood: We’re not adding any additional things to it. Essentially, we’re gonna spend longer in the beta phase. Because it’s a really ambitious game, and now that people can see what we’ve done with weapons – the number of weapons, the number of weapon modifications, the number of abilities, the number of items and gadgets – they can see the interrelations between those many components sets up some very specific balancing challenges.
And for Brink, we want to make sure people enjoy playing months after they’ve started playing – or years after they’ve started playing! I think in order for us to achieve that well, we want to have the best possible period of balancing and polishing.
