SH2 pushed back

Don\'t shoot the messenger....

"According to the UK branch of Konami\'s operations, Silent Hill 2 will be released on American shores on Nov. 23rd, not the end of September as originally announced. "

http://sonyweb.com/news/0901/056.html

This was reported by *FGN* yesterday, and though I thought this only impacted European gamers, my fears of the delay extending to North America were eventually realized today when I read this...  

...*insert expletive here*...


EDIT: sorry, it was actually the FGN site:

Of couse I wouldn\'t completely jump to conclusions without an official US statement. However, my optimism is fading...

Nooo!!  I had a whole night of Silent Hill-ing planned out!  I really hope this isn\'t true...

Oh well.. I\'ll still have ICO to hold me over.

My gaming time allocation was going to be 50% ICO and 50% SH2, now ICO gets my undivided attention. But, SH2 is not the only Konami release late Nov, so my predicament is now deferred.
Still, it\'s a win-win situation now matter how you slice it.

Damn, would\'ve been cool to be playing this on Halloween night.  Oh well, cest la vie or some such...

To err is human, to belabor the point to no end and deny any semblance of common sense or logic is the demesnes of the fanboy!

I don\'t believe it. Especially since this news hasn\'t been posted on other sites.

Do you think Konami will push back SH2 to launch close to MGS2? I doubt it.

edit: Also funny how SonyWeb didn\'t provide a quote or link to their source. Hmm,. my sources told me that a subdivision in Konami made mention about releasing the MGS2 uncut version next year. :rolleyes:

Yeah... We didn\'t get an official quote, or when/where they got the news... I will believe it when I hear it from the Horse\'s mouth

Im pretty a$$ positive this isnt true and im pretty sure the release date is set at the end of september.  I dont think they would push it back so close to release.

I heard this two days ago yet no other sight has reported it.  Sounds like bull**** to me.  It was delayed in the UK and somehow got turned around that it was delayed here.  I wouldn\'t worry about it at all.

The day would end with the news saying "... before turning the gun on himself..." :mad:
