As we all know, a lot of games set to be released on a certain date get pushed back. Heres a list of a couple of games predicted to be delayed.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII


This game was announced in 2006, and as of now, a release in 2011 in highly unlikely. Weve only been revealed a couple pre-rendered trailers, but nothing in the game play area. Square Enix has been tentative about putting a release date on it, and Tetsuya Nomura [Character Designer for Enix] openly stated that he doubts that the game will be released in 2011.

Star Wars: The Old Republic


BioWare isnt notorious for delays; however, with this game, they just might be. The material weve seen so far on this game is quiet encouraging, yet the license and development costs are pretty pricey. If the game isnt up to par, BioWare is likely to push the release date in to 2012. This way, the product will nicely be polished and bug-less.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword


Shiguru Miyamotos humiliating on-stage demonstration might have edged him to really get things corrected. Due to comments being made about making this Zelda stand out, its key that they take their time with this game. Since the launch of the 3DS, Nintendo isnt really looking for another huge break. As the profits from that launch are comforting, Nintendo is going to take their time with this game so the final product is near perfection.

Max Payne 3


Take-Twos [T2] Max Payne was originally scheduled for 2009. As time went by, the game was pushed to 2010, followed by 2011. Recently, T2 removed this game from their 2011-2012 release schedule as well. That doesnt assure it being pushed back, but the odds are unlikely. We havent heard much about this game since its announcement, therefore, giving it much less credibility for being released this year. To further it, there arent any pre-lease marketing plans either.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier


Ubisofts Ghost Recon: Future Solider has already been pushed back a couple of times. The game is currently booked for the unclear period after April, so a 2011 release is still possible. However, no new footage of this game has been released since last years E3. In addition, Ubisoft has already obliged to a new Assassins Creed, which helps carry the company.

The Last Guardian


Rumors imply Team-Ico is pushing the release date for we havent seen much of this game. In Japan, this game was set to be released in the holiday season, but the same being said for the U.S. is questionable. The Last Guardian is equivalent to a genuine film, and the holiday season tends to release a lot of movies. Its smart sales strategy to keep this imaginative game as far away from the release of new blockbusters.

Silent Hill Downpour


Not much of this game was talked about after announcement. Konami, at a press conference, told people details of the game, rather than showing it. Its said that the game might have a chance at being released in late October, and if not, 2012 is the destined year.
