Frame City Killer delayed again in Japan?

By Staff, GameSpotPosted Mar 31, 2006 7:18 am PT

Famitsu schedule indicates that Namco Bandai's Xbox 360 debut has once again been pushed back.

Namco Bandai Games' first Xbox 360 game may see another delay in Japan. After being pushed back last December, the company's action game Frame City Killer has been slated for release during spring. But according to the updated Xbox 360 release calendar in the latest issue of Famitsu, the game now bears a more vague "2006" release date.

In Japan, Frame City Killer was originally scheduled for release by Namco on February 23, one month prior to its merger with Bandai. (The game will now be published under the Namco Bandai Games label.) Two months ago, Namco also pushed back Frame City Killer's North American release from the Xbox 360's winter 2005 launch window to the second half of 2006.

    The longer the delay the better it will be in the end.

    Hellisunreal, if you think one **** game that no one really cares about getting delayed is going to hurt Microsofts chances of building a lead your a moron. What will hurt Microsofts chances of building a lead is a **** launch in Japan, and Sony's hype machine. Let's face it whether it lives up to the hype or not, the PS3 will crush everything in it's way, just like the PS2 did.

    I cant honestly say it will suck when its release and I dont see how anyone at all can either. I also cant honestly say that this will ultimately become vaporware either. Give the devolpers the time they need to tweak/polish whatever else, and if it becomes vaporware oh well thats too bad then. If it does turn out to be crap oh well. In the long run only time will tell which of those outcomes if either will be true.

    bossjimbob , this game only affects people who gave a damn about it in the first place. The game never looked good in the first place just another stupid title to add to the crud that comes out close to a system launch window (not anymore i suppose). When it gets released it will still be crud and the developers will jsut lose that money. They should have strived for something innovative instead of a cookie cutter action game. And don't kid yourselves that is all that it will be when it hits stores. Next Gen does not mean fun. Everyone thought The Bouncer on ps2 looked great for its time but when it got released, oh my god did it ever suck. The first fun i've had with my 360 on something that is not from xbox live arcade is Oblivion.

    As much as delay can be good, It can also be bad , meaning a bad product. But I hope FCK turns out to be good, I like the character.

    I 100% agree bossjimbob. I'll take quality over quantity any day.

    Quote: Halo2_Norad - "Are you from japan? I'm not. So who cares!!!" The game is slated to release in the US as well, so this does affect us. Like I said before, better for the developers to take their time and make a good game than rush out a half-baked product that people will hate.

    Better that they take their time and polish the game than rush it to market unfinished.

    Delay can be a good thing . . .give the game a much needed improvement on visuals. Just look at the main character's hair? It's like white play-doh clay! Yipee . . .another shooter for the Xbox 360.
