Yes it is official, DOA 4 won' t meet launch time until possibly january 2006, i guess it' s too bad specialy for those willing to get a 360 at launch... line up is shrinking first gears of war then oblivion then PRG3 (am i wrong on this one?) and now DOA4 ....

pgr3 is gonna make it, but ghost recon won' t.

OUCH! And Dead or Alive 4 was one of the big reasons to get the Xbox 360 at launch, despite the fact that the game' s story mode, if anything like its predecessors, would last about 5 - 7 minutes!

Gears of War was never a launch title. Oblivion is the only game that really pisses me off. Delaying it f*cking 5 months is a joke.

I guess at this point I' m stuck with either PD0 or Call of Duty 2. NBA2k6 is also a possiblity as is NFSMW but I want a game that' s gonna have some good length. I guess I' ll fighure it out the night I pick up my 360.

4 games i cared for...
Oblivion+pgr3+doa4+cod2... i got cod2 to pc and it kick ass,but now doa+oblivion is delayed too omg...
I really dont care now...i get a xbox360 december or 2006 i just doesnt care anymore...

yes ghost recon was delayed as well, i knew i forgot a game and it was this one ... are u sure gears of war was never annouced as a launch title ?? anyone can confirm this??

I can,they said in the video footage at e3 and TGS that emergen day was somewhere 2006,which means they said the game is coming 2006 sometime.

Just out of interest where did you hear this?

Yeah, I would like a link.

Just to make one thing clear,i want more then those 4 games :) but the question is if i wanna wait out the console price now or not?
I must have a xbox360 at launch isn' t really there for me anymore.
I get one when i get one :)

it' s a french website that i trust www.best4gamers.com, now if you ask me where did they get that i don' t know but they should know better...

WOW thats depressing that game was the main reason I wanted a 360. The only games I can look forward to now are NBA 2K6, PDO, and Call of Duty 2. Besides those all the other good games are coming out in 2006. So this means Joe was right about 360' s lauch line-up. *Shivers*

Here is the exact link to the news story:http://www.gamers.fr/lire_news.php?id=13548

I don' t read French but yeah, Jan 2006 it says at the bottom there. he only thing is it' s not been reported on any other webpages yet so I' ll take this with a pinch of salt until it becomes common knowledge.

DOA4 is one of the games I' m looking foward to along with PGR3, Kameo and PDZ. I was looking forward to Oblivion but will have to get used to waiting a little longer for that.

Here' s the translation into English. Hilariously brought to you by Babelfish...

Not the sorrow morfondre, to shout that the line-up of Xbox 360 is very rotted, the fans of baston will have their Dead gold Alive 4 only one week after the exit of the new bike of Billou. A small delay which could nevertheless be transformed into true carryforward since certain sources announce an exit in January 2006... Update: it is henceforth confirmed, Dead gold Alive 4 is well pushed back in January 2006...

HAH!! I knew it! I saw it coming and I was right! I knew those games wouldn' t make it for the opening. Damn right! Mwahahaha. Still sucks but, I was freaking right. I knew there was no way for them to have that done by launch title. Cause of microsoft delaying the information on what will come with the Xbox360 and it' s versions.

…are reporting the same thing. January 13th is the date they' ve come up with. It' s like a French conspiracy or something, how come they seem to know something the English language websites don' t?

If this is indeed true I must say I' m disappointed, but I suppose there' s still plenty of apparent launch games that interest me. I just hope no more are delayed!

Doesn' t affect me at all. I live in America. Looks like we' re still going to be getting our copy on time.

All I cared for the most was Oblivion...
Condemned: Criminal Origens looks interesting so that may be a replacment, but its gonna be hard to find a single game to last the length. Online rental services should do for now if they can get enough copies of each game...owell.

condemned looks sik man, honestly, I can' t wait to play that game. have u seen the graphics and the way the camera moves when u hit ppl or they hit u. Sega is doing a good job.
