PreviousGTA 'annoying, not dangerous' says Clarkson Samba De Amigo to get DLC on Wii  Next

Prototype pushed back to '09

Tuesday 6-May-2008 12:41 PM More time needed to meet expectations...

Word on Sierra's open world action game, Prototype, being delayed until April 2009 originally came via online retailer GameStop, but the firm has since confirmed the news as true. See, these online retailers don't always make things up.

"Sierra Entertainment and Radical Entertainment have made the decision to shift Prototype to launch in 2009," a company spokesperson told IGN in the US. "Since its announcement, Prototype has been regarded by many as groundbreaking and taking the open-world genre in new directions, and in the simplest explanation possible, we need more time to deliver the game the team initially set out to create."

The game was recently on show at Sierra's Spring Break event in Spain. But with Prototype's recreation of NYC failing to close to what Rockstar's done with Liberty City, we can image why more time is needed.

As of last Tuesday our idea of what an open world game should play, live and breath like has changed forever. Check out the latest Prototype shots here.

Pity, hopefully this will make the end result all the better though.

from now on games should only get release date after they are completely finished. this must be the worst gen for delays

Wow, another delay and no mention of PS3 shocker !!

Should have been the headline.

Still I wonder how much GTA IV has influenced this?

It was due around the same time as the DLC, coincidence?

I reckon a March 2009 release, March/May is becoming the new Sep/Dec for not competing with Blockbusters and selling more!!
