The game is currently expected to ship in 2011, although given its
history, Pitchford is understandably reluctant to be more specific.
?We?re in the polishing phase now. This is a game where we can not
make a promise we can not fulfill,? he says. ?We need to get past the
shock and awe and then we can go to all the retailers and first
parties and work out a launch plan.?

Good grief. Let it die already. No one really cares anymore. This game
is,
what, 15 years overdue now? If they miss the 2011 launch date, they might
as
well start reworking the game - again - to take advantage of the next gen
hardware.

It's not broken. It's...advanced.

Or retexture the characters and call the game something else entirely.
