Damned if you will, damned if you don't: Damnation delayed |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Codemasters, Unreal Engine

Aww snap. We just got word that Damnation has been delayed for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Previously, it was scheduled for a winter release this year, but now, as a Codemasters spokesperson confirmed to Eurogamer, the game won't be out until early 2009. And why, pray, is that?
Damnation is being rescheduled for an early 2009 release. The game will be much stronger and better as a result, and will also give people time to get all the pre-holiday releases out the way - ready for the fresh (and vertical) gaming experience that Damnation offers.
As the spokesperson points it, it seems to be a strategic move. Hell, it could be quite a very good move if they could get it out of the way of some of those pre-holiday waves, the likes of Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, CoD: World at War, and maybe even Prince of Persia.
Of these games, it's GoW2 most specifically they want to steer away from, since both use the Unreal Engine 3 and sort of have the same post-apocalyptic sci-fi feel to it.
