Max Payne 3 Delayed...Again.

Take Two Interactive attributes the delay to bad fourth quarter sales.

Today it was announced that the third title in Rockstar's Max Payne series will be delayed until next year.

According to Take Two, the earliest consumers can expect to see the title on shelves is August of 2010; however the title has a more solid release period of Q4 2010. The title has already seen two delays, and this latest push-back can be attributed to low revenue from Take Two's fourth quarter MLB, and key holiday release, sales.

Take Two Interactive is expecting to end this fiscal year with a loss, although they still expect to keep their other future releases (Bioshock 2, Red Dead Redemption, and Mafi II) on schedule.

Kid Gloves: When Hand Holding Goes Too Far

As I was moving into the end game of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, I was tasked with finding three power couplings to unlock a door. It was a simple enough job, but in a game that had been almost entirely a linear affair, I was glad to have the rails taken off if even for a small section. It turned out that this wasn’t the case; any time I got remotely close to one of the power couplings Doktor would chime in on my codec to inform me that I was near my objective. Frowning, I destroyed the coupling and repeated the task with Doktor telling me exactly where to go and what to do. It made me realize just how much game design has changed in recent years, and what needs to be done to combat the need for constant hand holding that game designers have developed.
