2010 is looking even better for gamers

Two big titles that were originally planned for release this holiday season have fallen out of the pack.

Sony has delayed "Heavy Rain" until 2010, while Take Two Interactive has done the same with "BioShock 2". The moves are bound to upset some fans, but could ultimately prove beneficial for both titles.

"Heavy Rain" is an original IP – and would have found itself up against some serious competition during the holiday period. Historically, big sequels rule the sales charts at the end of the year. With eagerly awaited installments in the "Call of Duty" and "Splinter Cell" franchises leading the way, it's very possible that "Heavy Rain" would have fallen by the wayside as consumers curb their spending.

It happened to EA and "Mirror's Edge" last year. The game was a sales dud, never gaining any traction against bigger titles.

pixelsword6170d ago

Killzone 3 will destroy the world as all PS3's will converge into a hive-mind and start skynet. Terminators with orange goggles for eyes will slaughter mankind.

RockmanII76170d ago

I thought Milo was going to become SKYNET

thereapersson6170d ago

If a giant asteroid hits, it will turn the earth into molten lava!

SL1M DADDY6170d ago

Yeah but Mirrors Edge was nothing special. It didn't fall by the way side just because of the great games it released along side with but because it was mediocre. Sorry, but Heavy Rain and Bioshock 2 are nowhere near mediocre.

EXCLUSIVEGAMER6170d ago

u2 in 09 will take the cake.
2010 belongs to gt5

were still missing twisted metal, trico, agent, syphon filter, battlearena toshinden.j and daxter....several more which escape me right now.

Gee...can't wait to see how many things they change and stray away from, oh don't forget the miscast actors

Neonridr1571d ago

I have such high hopes because the first game is so near and dear to me. That being said, I'm sure they will mess it up. I'm hoping it's adult rated, and violent. I want to see a Big Daddy put that drill to good use :P

camel_toad1569d ago (Edited 1569d ago )

They're great at butchering stuff but there have also been some gems and surprises.

I never in my life thought I'd like a series based on League of Legends but it was pretty great.

Maybe just maybe they'll do Bioshock justice.

Priority checklist
- Pander to POC
- Pander to woman
- Pander to LGBTQ
- Story

In that order

Silly Mammo1569d ago

Damn! It sure sucks when white men aren't the sole focus of everything! Why can't these fringe groups be kept on the fringes like the good ole days?!? /s

Netflix did well with Dare Devil and the Punisher and I hear the Witcher is pretty good I know when I had Netflix at the time Stranger Things was also good. But Bioshock I love the franchise Bioshock Infinite is my favorite game I would pay the $21 Canadian just to check out Bioshock. Normally I would never renew my Netflix after they did their price hike but Bioshock would be worth it.

LoveSpuds1570d ago

When firing on all cinders, Netflix do produce some brilliant stuff so I am not feeling pessimistic at all here. If Netflix deliver to their potential then this could be incredible given the quality of the source material. Personally, I am quite excited.

EvertonFC1570d ago

Agreed, Netflix originals etc are fantastic in general, it's rare I don't like something they do.
Certainly not feeling negative with Netflix doing bioshock quite the opposite infact.

Ashunderfire861570d ago (Edited 1570d ago )

Bu bu bu bu but what about Cowboy Beebop though? That was a little miss opportunity. Just a little nervous that Bioshock could turn to crap 💩 like that show. If they do a Horizon Zero Dawn show, I hope they don’t screw that up as well. I know a few good actresses that could play Aloy like Jon Snow’s girlfriend from Game of Thrones, and his wife in real life. Definitely see Aloy in her.

Livingthedream1570d ago

Netflix does a lot of great things, recently finished the first season of Arcane and it was brilliant.

MadLad1570d ago

Arkane was so damn good.
I just hope they keep up the quality with later releases.

I'm not even a LoL player.

Livingthedream1569d ago

I’m sure they will, I don’t play the games either, I love the fact that I didn’t need to play them to enjoy it.

Michiel19891569d ago

Arcane was insanely good imo, I was hooked almost all the way. Im not sure of this but i think Netflix didnt have much to do with the production of the show? More like they just bought the rights to have it exclusively on there?

Some of their original shows are really good so im quite hopeful this might turn out to be a good show. Lets hope they wont F it up.

Nacho_Z1570d ago

Love Bioshock but I'll prepare myself for the likelihood this will be both crap and a pale imitation of the source material. That covers most video game adaptations and Netflix films.

dumahim1570d ago

How many have they done? It sounds like Witcher and Castlevania have done well.

Nacho_Z1570d ago

I meant Netflix films in general, there are some good ones but most are average at best in my experience. Castlevania is good but I didn't like The Witcher, although it is successful.

Not sure if there are any live action video game film adaptations on Netflix as yet but they don't have a great track record.

dumahim1570d ago

@ Nacho
For movies, I think it’s very difficult to cram he narrative from a 10+ hour game into 2 hours. I think that’s why series are much better suited for video game adaptations. Seems we have a bunch coming up, so we’ll see how well it plays out.

Terry_B1570d ago

Why are PS2 and Wii and even the PS Vita tagged?

Atom6661570d ago

The Vita tag stung a little bit extra.

Atticus_finch1570d ago

Starring Tom Holland I'm guessing.

FlavorLav011570d ago

Haha. Now if it was a Sony movie, very likely

Outlawzz1570d ago

Lol the Tom Holland craze is real

Terry_B1570d ago

Kevin Nash is going to play the..Big Daddy.
