Singularity Shies Away From Blockbusters, Slips Into March
SingularityWe were hoping to have two promising FPSs from Raven Software this year - Singularity and Wolfenstein - but it appears the former has slipped into 2010.
According to Joystiq, Activision has confirmed that Singularity is now slated to release in March of next year, simply because they want to make room for the massive blockbuster that will be Modern Warfare 2. It's not the first game that decided to jump out of the way of the impending blockbusters; Quantic Dream decided to delay the highly anticipated PlayStation 3 exclusive Heavy Rain for the same reason. Said an Activision spokesman:
"The level of excitement for Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 coming out of E3 well exceeded our expectations and therefore we have decided to move Raven's upcoming sci-fi first person action title, Singularity, from 2009 to Q1 2010. We believe that the March quarter will provide a better opportunity to establish the new cutting-edge action IP as a "must-have" title and clears the way for Modern Warfare 2 to dominate this holiday season."
Of course, now it will have to do battle with God of War III and possibly even Gran Turismo 5, which isn't exactly an enviable position, either. We do have every confidence in Raven Software, though, and we'll definitely keep an eye on Singularity. Who doesn't want to manipulate time so as to gain the upper hand in epic firefights? It's just an awesome concept.

I prefer games that take a lot of thought processing, complex stratgies, and games that are not FFVII (FF7).
You all know FFVI (FF6) is the best one. Quit lying to yourselves.

Just having much fun on it...
Which reminds me, I need to get selling the games I don't play anymore so I can get some money back for them, I can then go for the new exclusives coming out.
Q!

COD (PS3) > Uncharted 2, MAG, NG: Sigma 2, Demon's Souls, etc
COD (360) > Left 4 Dead 2, Splinter Cell, etc
By ">" I mean sell more than. It sucks, but it's virtually a guarantee. Basically this is going to give Activision a blank check to create as many COD games as possible this gen.

No, my money's on Uncharted 2 this holiday season. I bought the first one on the hope that it was at least a decent game, and it completely blew me away. And judging from what I've seen so far, U2 is gonna do the same exact thing.

we think it will sell better going up against heavy rain and god of war 3 and possiably GT5.
ooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
now i know it activision is run by a bunch of monkeys.
i dident like MW but from the E3 demo im rely hyped, lets hope its not a let down because that snow lvl looked extremely cool.
and what their saying about being able to either use stealth and or go in guns blazing better be true.
because alot of games have claimed this and to my memory none have accomplished it.

because in the 10 years ive been playing games i can only think of 2 big AAA games that came out before march.
killzone 2 and devil may cry 4.
why year after year theres barely any games out in january and a little more in febuary.
than march hits and our wallets grow a gaping hole allong with april.
may june so so.
august so so.
september october november is a over flow.
why not spread it out a little.
like since the 2nd week of june there has not been 1 game i want to get and there isent 1 till wolfenstiene and thats aug 5th.
thats almost 2 months with 2 or 3 games we had more than that in the 1st week of june.
