With titles like God Eater, Persona, and Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days all queued up in the fall 2009 release margin, Capcom found that the period is already too crowded for another release, so they're delaying the release of Dark Void (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) to their fiscal Q4, which in calendar terms is the first quarter of 2010, which ends in March of that year.

Okay, so there are quite a number of fall 2009 releases out there, but then again, there are more titles coming early 2010 that would crowd Dark Void more than the fall 2009 batch. For starters, Ubisoft already announced the delay of four titles into early 2010. There's also the matter of the possibility of running into God of War III, MAG, White Knight Chronicles, Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360, PC) - the list can go on.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Unless of course, Capcom knows something we don't.

Revisions

Actually I went to the game test for this on the 11th of this month. So many errors needed to be fixed for this. The jetpack was very horrible in all aspects, controls for arial combat both jetpack and airships, enemies need some attention as well. That said, I think Capcom is actually making changes to what me and the other guys had brought to their attention....maybe

Really?

I have been looking forward to this game ever since I seen the first video of it. It was annoying to hear that they were delaying it the first time and now it's delayed again. I guess it's good as long as they are doing it to fix some problems with the game and not just because of the timing with other games. I todays time of game, there are almost always going to be stiff competition and the longer Capcom waits on it's release, also means more time the game won't be out there making money.

Too crowded?

It's just me or is this holyday too crowded that almost all games are releasing next year? Wait a second, if the games are moving next year, then why they say that the holyday is crowded? Notice some irony there?

Too greedy!

As a gamer, I don't care about Capcom's profits. I want the game asap.
