Must be something seriously wrong with the game if they're not willing to rush it out for the big 360 holiday launch. Rushing didn't seem to be a problem for any other devs...

Team Ninja/Tecmo delayed Ninja Gaiden on Xbox for a year, so I'm not surprised. Hopefully DoA4 doesn't go through a ton of delays too.

I think december 29th is like a last chance for the year style scheduling. It's like the date is set in stone and the game will go gold within the next 10 days, if it still isn't done it'll get like a 3 month delay.


Really, those expecting it for jap 360 launch should have raised an eyebrow when itagaki estimated the game was 50% complete on display at TGS. 2 months is a very short time to make half a game when it took 12 months to do the first half.

Or is it?

December 7, 2005 - Tecmo Japan announced today another delay in the Japanese release of Dead or Alive 4. Originally scheduled to launch with the Xbox 360 on December 10, the game was recently pushed back to a December 17 date. Today's announcement adds another two weeks to the delay, with a promised ship date of December 29. The game is still scheduled for a December 14 release date in North America, according to Tecmo.

No new announcement was issued as of this writing regarding the game's US release. When contacted this morning, Tecmo's representative had no comment. Both GameStop and EB Games post December 14 release dates.

Huh?

Thanks IGN for clearing this up! :lol
