Red Dead Redemption Delayed

Red Dead Redemption Delayed

While speaking to investors, Take-Two CEO Ben Feder said Red Dead Redemption had been delayed because of “optimal” release schedules. Developers Rockstar say something a little different.

“We at Rockstar have always prided ourselves on the uncompromising quality of our games – and will always opt to take a bit longer to polish and fine-tune a game to be as perfect as possible when we think it necessary” a company representative says. “With Red Dead Redemption, we felt that these extra few weeks will make a big difference in helping us deliver you an experience beyond your expectations.”

So, whatever the cause, the bottom line is this: Red Dead Redemption’s North American release date has slipped from late April to May 18th. The European release date remains unchanged on May 21st.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Bad Company 2 didn’t make it through the launch without hitting a EA/DICE server issue.

So the decision is up to you if you want to watch it or not.
