Saints Row Delayed

[Night Owl]

Source:360 updates

Action adventure Saint's Row, originally expected in time for Christmas, is now slated for a release some time between April and June. Motorbike racer Moto GP 2006: Ultimate Racing Technology and WWII shooter The Outfit will be released in the first half of next year.
In addition, previously delayed PC title S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has slipped further, and is down for an October 2006 release at the earliest.

THQ has a further ten next-generation titles in development, and has revealed that 80 per cent of its development resources will be split equally between PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games. The remaining 20 per cent will be allocated to Nintendo Revolution titles.

Despite the delays, things are looking good for the publisher financially - second quarter net sales stand at $142.7 million, marking a 48 per cent increase on last year's figures.

Net losses are also down from $6.4 million to $1.4 million, which CEO Brian Farrell attributed to strong sales of original IP such as the Tak series, Destroy All Humans! and street racer Juiced. Strong-selling licensed properties included WWE Day of Reckoning 2 and Scooby Doo! Unmasked.

The company predicts net sales of approximately $770 million for the financial year ending March 2006, and expects the SpongeBob SquarePants series and PSP version of Juiced to perform particularly well.

Shame, I was hoping on getting Saint's Row for Christmas.

i seen this on a different site and there was alot of moaning about it but i think its good to see game companies holding their hands up and saying 'look we need some more time' i would rather more companies do this than release a game that is below par.

I dont think they should wait that long, because there was a press confrence saying that they started working on this game like six months before MS even announced the 360. And if they wait to long who knows GTA could announce some plans for a next gen game and shut down SR. THQ website still says that it is being release in the 4Q 05 unless they havent changed it yet

Wow . I was going to try this out before I buy it. It's nice, but the aiming system is just.....well not there. I hope they fix the glitches before the game launches.
