SH4 release delayed (only in Germany?)

hyperion2206 · 02-09-07, 04:53 AM

I just got an email from amazon.de saying that SH4 won't be released on March 15th but on March 22nd. I don't know if it just applies to the German release or if it's a world wide delay.

These things make me sick allready. It's a habit for all game producers to delay release dates. No comment.

it wouldn't surprise me but its not a significant delay, talking of which wouldn't mind surprise me anyway

I'm sorry for that inconvenience! I changed the title so that only people in Germany will mess their pants.:p:rotfl:

The German government can be quite strict on computer games, perhaps they require a few small modifications before it will be concidered acceptable.

10 days is not alot of time to wait though.

I just checked my order status (US) and the ship date still reads March 13.

Oh frak, just had a thought... what if they're censoring the lifeboats?

With all the anti-computer game violence stuff in the media here I won't be surprised.

StandingCow · 02-09-07, 07:22 AM

I never understood the no violence in video games argument... I have played them all my life and I am a very laid back non-violent person. Hell, I even listen to violent hardcore and punk music.

People need to stop putting the blame on games and music.

Sorry, I went off topic..

TDK1044 · 02-09-07, 07:32 AM

If there was a delay, I don't believe it would be related to the game's rating. The rating was changed from 7+ to 'Teen...mild violence' some time ago to accommodate the increased visual reality.

Navarre, remember SH4 is a Pacific sub sim. So I wouldn't think here'd be swastikas in it. Yes, I know German Uboats were in the Indian Ocean, Pacific and all that, but we've not heard a word they put Uboats in too. At least I haven't heard or read that they did. That would be wishful thinking for all of us if they did put Uboats in.

Besides, Ubi is always coming up with a 2 week delay, look at the IL2 series. It's just SOP for them.

Or..... maybe they had to take out all the guns and torpedos for the players in Germany. You know, anything that shoots.

News from germany: all torps and shells have been replaced with fluffy teddy bears, all weapon fireing sounds have been replaced with sounds of childs laughter.

Actually, that might be creepier...

DaMaGe007 · 02-09-07, 07:37 AM

We can all laugh now, but just wait till it happens

Amazon De may just have it wrong, or it may be a world wide delay that the american sites havent picked up on yet, wont know untill its in your hot little hands.

I Concider it a lightning fast development cycle, if they deliver a good product they deserve a pat on the back (even with a week delay) but I am definatly concerned.

Edit: One day we may be buying Computer games from shady people on street corners, and hiding ourselves away enjoying our addiction in secret.
