\t\tIf one trend defined 2009, it was heavy delays on some of the year’s most anticipated games. Though we had the usual holiday flood this year, it would have been much bigger if not for all the pushed back games that are set for early 2010. We even published a feature<\/a> on the trend in August, and the delays just kept coming. So as we close out the year, let’s take another look at some of the titles delayed this year, and when they’re due.<\/p>\n

\"Alpha\n<\/p>\n

One way not<\/em> to delay a game can be found in an example from Sega. Rumors spread of an Alpha Protocol<\/a> delay as reviewers noticed the company hadn’t sent any copies of the game; but it took until the game’s release day<\/a> to finally confirm it. Now it’s set for spring of 2010. On the other end of the spectrum, Bayonetta<\/a> was pushed into early next year to “maximize [its] potential,” but seems to have leaked to the public by major retailers already. So to be clear: one game waited until its release date to announce a delay, and the other was delayed but unofficially came out early.<\/p>\n

The delay<\/a> of BioShock 2<\/a> wasn’t quite as storied. It seemed to be a necessary move to improve the quality of the game, and now it’s due early next year. Dark Void<\/a>, meanwhile, was more bluntly delayed<\/a> to avoid the “crowded fall season.”<\/p>\n
