I cannot stress this enough..

Some of you must stop putting all faith in game stores and their so called "release dates". You/We have the world at our fingertips

doesnt bother me in the least, he can take as long as he wants. as long as the final product matches his vision then i know it will be worth the wait.

It better be... I hate delays. I'd rather not have a release date at all. I want it to be perfect and bug-free or whatever, but dammit... this is THE game I bought the 360 for. Besides, what more could he be screwing around with? It already LOOKS amazing. I've heard it plays amazing. Gimme Gimme Gimme!

You must have went bonkers when DOAU kept getting delayed

well he has the best players in japan play testing the hell out of it so im sure there are just balance issues to resolve. it shouldnt be delayed much further as its already 95% done. from one of the previews it was hinted that this may be the last DoA game for a while so im sure he wants it to be perfect.

Haha, ironically no. I was at trial (no, I wasn't the defendant) and totally lost track of time. Then when I went to a game store during break, I saw it and said "This is out already?!"


Yeah... but how many people say that about their games and then bring out a new one the next generation. Especially if Tekken ever overtakes DOA graphically. You can bet he'd make another then.

LOL

the latest Tekken doesnt look as good as DOA on Saturn

Ok thats pushing it a little

i WANT DOA4!!! but if i have to wait that's ok, i don't have time to play it right now anyways and i trust the delays are only for good reason(s).

Knowing Itagaki's own high standards, I'm sure there's a good reason for the delay.

This news sort of puzzles me though, I mean Gamepro has already reviewed the game
You would think the game's just around the corner if the disks are already finding their way into the hands of game critics.

Oh wait, December 29th is sort of around the corner

Did he say GamePro?

Hellz no!

I think they have some ps3 reviews coming up.....lol

I dont trust their reviews, I heard they review unfinished games to beat the competition.....seriously.

They always seem to beat the competition on reviews, it makes me believe its true.

I could be wrong though.....

magazines are pretty much useless nowadays. the internet has such a faster turn around rate, and as bad as it sounds, the magazines actaully have more damn ads and fall on the floor garbage then a porn site.

Maybe they are converting the dds files to some other kind.

They do a good job of reviewing as far as I'm concerned.
At least from what I can remember off the top of my head http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/928260.asp

For a game that supposedly got pushed back until the end of the month,
the TV marketing campain has started quite early.
I just saw the commercial on Comedy Central.
Great ad by the way, it really makes you want to buy the game.

It appears to me that M$ is marketing the game as the X360's first killer app

OK, now im convinced that the 360 will flop (at least initially) in Japan...

Absolutely NO Japanese-Oriented launch titles (no Ninety Nine Nights, no Enchat-Arm, no DoA nada, zip, nothing...). Do they really expect go there and sell the console based only on perfect dark zero?

they have nada 3! sorry just saw a gamefly commercial

lol, Oh yea and Lets Count Sand,and Lets wait in Line..... Fun Games

As someone who has waited for all of Team Ninja's games, all I have to say is: SHOCK AND AWE.

and there is always my favorite Bean Farmer Xtreme

DAMNIT!

I see those DOA4 commercials on TV all the friggin time... This and PGR3 are the reason I bought my shiny white box... They're teasing me ... bastards...

I agree though that I'd rather have it delayed and be perfect... there are plenty of other games for me to play... Especially now that Chaos Theory is BC on the 360

Our local target had a shelf for DOA 4 yesterday. I asked the tween working there if it had in fact come in yet and he said "yes, but it is sold out now." I don't believe him (that it came in), but target almost never dedicates shelf space until the game has actually arrived.

So is it still on schedule or not?
