Anarchy Reigns dev 'in the dark' about delay

Better be a good reason for this....

Sega is broke and can't afford to press, print and distribute the international version until japanese sales come in? Just a guess...

WHY?hedeki kamia WHY?

oh noes!!!! they messed up dreamcast and sonic, what are they gonna be in the future?

If the game is ready then why delay it, I am going to send a very angry letter to sega, for not only pushing down the release date for a finished game, but for also ruining sonic

Everybody is forgetting that they're working on Metal Gear Rising: Revengence too!

This game needed to come out this summer.  The holiday and post holiday releases will steamroll a game like this sadly.

What the hell Sega? Release the game over the summer drought and you'll definitely have some sales. Atlus was smart enough to pull that with Catherine and it turned out to be a success.

I soooooooooo!! want this game to triumph in reviving the beat em up/brawler genre then maybe sega could give us a new streets of rage but these unexplained delays only make consumers lose trust. This game better be good sega 

Sega has sucked since 1999

So, who's fault: Sega of America or Sega of Japan?

That is very unprofessional I hope they treat Platinum games better in the future.

...I want to strangle each and every hobo that currently runs one of Sega's international branches from the local sewage treatment center's storage closet. That doesn't make me a bad person, does it?

i think this game is already in japan

Lets hope they can polish the game more due to the delay. Gears 3 is a good example of why delays can be beneficial.

Here is probably how it went down: "There is no competition for the product in July, which means nobody will be in the game stores. If we release it among a ton of bigger-name titles early next year, there will be a lot of gamers going in to get those, and they will probably choose this instead! While we're all here, anyone got any bad ideas for how can ruin Sonic some more?"

Sega probably thinks that thier is a game or games that is going to be released same time in the west and feel it might affect sales, so they delay it until they feel like thier is no competing titles in the month, that is my opinion of what i think is going on. It is not a bad move it is smart buisness on thier end as they are just trying to make money for thier game that they put hardwork into.

It's Sega, there is nothing  more to add

At least we can import.

SEGA must be broke. That's the only explanation that makes sense to me.

Platinum Games and the Yakuza series is the only thing that has even kept Sega on my radar in the last few years. Dear Sega, get your head out of your you know where, and release the damn game. Dev says it ready, lets go.

thats when you know this game is going 2 be good when it gets delayed 4 times

hnn thats a sign your geting laid of or sega is two faces hnnn both seem possible.

I been playing the demo for multiplayer on my jap ps3 account.....games good

Ok now I know Gamespot is trolling with their article thumbnails. Seriously? First you do the Gears of War rear-penetration-kill thumbnail:

And now you do a frontal groin-penetration-kill for this article!:http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2011/26/anarchyreigns_43051_640screen.jpg

Do you seriously never look through the thumbnails on your articles?

This is definitely not a good sign....

That's the kind of thing that makes Sega a mediocre company. Some respect would be much appreciated.

Obviously Sega fears the game will fail in the US shoers, like most japanese games released this generation. I remember the old days, when japanese titles were the cream of the crop and I would approach US titles with fear.But now it's backwards.

Runescape > Anarchy Reigns.
