Reason for release date

Post by Sergiy »

Okay, i've searched for a similar thread,

Now, i've been wondering why did they have to release the European version so much later then the US version. I understand they might wanna tweak different console versions (ps2/psp) but what's with the delay for the wii version?

I'm thinking because they have to translate it into multiple languages. That's usually why EU gets it so much later.

The US version already has French and Spanish subtitles though.

It's probably something as simple as Europe sucks.

Maybe. . . .

I doubt they will do the voice dubbing... and since there are subtitles there is no problem -_-

this is really annoying.

Yeah, but Europe got Siren 2... I'm still sore over that.

:)

No really, it's a raw deal for the Europeans and there's really nothing to say about that.

Meh, i got used to it that Europe is almost always last, however, Belgium is many times one of the five first countries where a (good) movie gets screened :)

We had a delay for about the same length of time with Homecoming as well. Seems we're latecomers to the SH series. What sucks about it though is that in each case my hype for it dies well before it comes out and I end up just buying it much later.

Nah, Silent Hill has always had a pretty strong market over here, hence why SH3 was released here first.
Homecoming was understandable coming from the yanks, but Shattered Memories is from a British developer, so there really isn't any exuse. It's just the same old boring case of fuck europe.

Well the game is finally out over here! Got mine on saturday for the Wii. The PSP version was available back in january (Only at granger games though). Game and Gamestation say it's out on the 5th so if you want it before then, got to Granger. If not, everywhere else should have it on friday.

I don't get the huge delay considering Climax are based on the south cost of england...but then I guess distribution is up to Konami
