TMNT: Out of the Shadows: PS3 Gets ANOTHER Delay

 
     In all honesty I should've seen this coming, but when I got home from work intending to buy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows on the PSN, it was unavailable.  Sure the Xbox and PC owners got it a month ago, and even though it was said to be buggy as heel, I awaited this release. 


     So I went online to check the official Facebook page only to find this message:
"To our PlayStation community,

With our attention firmly focused on the upcoming launch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows on the PlayStation Network, it has become clear to us that the PSN version will take longer than we originally anticipated, and as such, the game will not be available on September 24. Everyone’s working hard to get TMNT:OOTS ready for PSN as soon as possible, and we’ll update you once we've locked in a new release date.

Thank you for your enthusiasm and your patience. You've already waited for the game, so we know this is disappointing news. Please take heart in the fact that this is time the developers will spend polishing the PSN build to the highest level of quality possible, and the final experience will be better for it."

      Disappointing news?  So after seeing previews in April, with rumors of a June release (Coming this "Summer"), then finding out it was an August release, but NOT for Playstation 3, now we find out that the PSN release date of September 24th (today) isn't happening?  To top that off there isn't even an estimate of when a completed product might be available, which makes me wonder if it'll just get pushed back so far it is just cancelled.

     While I know I should be somewhat thankful that Red Fly Studios is apparently at least attempting to fix the large amount of problems the other systems had, but it just doesn't bode well to have it pushed back again.  Sure we got tiny PSN avatars today, but still not even a demo.  Sad indeed.

     It's like forcing us to watch while everyone else gets to eat cake and making us wait, then on the way to delivering our slice you tell us to wait longer and walk away.  My inner 8 year old is crying right now. 

     It doesn't help that the game based fully on the Nickelodeon TMNT cartoon is only being released on Xbox 360, Wii, and 3DS.  This also makes me wonder why many of the characters appear to look like ones based on the newer show, but the Ninja Turtles themselves aren't.

  2. No doubt this is frustrating- the Steam Update has already been released, and we don't even get a potential release date. VERY disappointing.

  3. Great, another reason for Xbox fanboys to brag about how their system is better than ps3 -_- ... Not only were we supposed to get ours a month later, but now it hasn't even come out still on the day it was promised?!? GET IT TOGETHER!!

  4. Too true. As of 5 minutes ago, the TMNT:OotS facebook page, there is still no anticipated release date- but they are giving away a custom XBOX 360 with Turtles paint job. *sigh* Back to waiting...

  5. Well, at least the PSN version will have a higher quality compared to the XBLA version, they have to stick with the bugs while we get a polished game due to delays.

  9. The store is located on a pretty non-busy street not too far from St. Marks. You'll notice a HUGE Mario figurine inside the store front that waves out to you. As you enter inside, you'll immediately begin to see how small a place it is - but for good reason. The place has been stacked full of games varying in ages and which console it is for. Free PSN Codes

  11. No, and Red Fly hasn't updated with ANY information since October 4th.

  12. No, this is taking way too long. I bet that they hadn't released it because of the fact that they were too disappointed to say on the Facebook page that it could not be out on PSN due to the TMNT franchise now belonging to Microsoft and they now have the rights to it. It has been two plus months since the last update and six months since the original set due date. This is why I hate Xbox and Microsoft with a passion. It should be called Shitbox360. Playstation for life!

    1. No doubt, I think there could be a licensing issue- as Nintendo and Xbox got the Nickelodeon game.

      They did post an image on Nov. 30th, but then removed the post from their Facebook page. So I'm wondering if it got cancelled.
