Fat Princess Disappears From Summer Release List
(Update) Summer release schedule missing the PSN's big hitter. It is still coming to PSN though.Published 03/07/2009 at 12:20 by nofi
Fistful Of Cake Out This Week? [3]
Fat Princess Gets Patched [11]
Fat Princess Delayed Due To “The Finger” [16]
The best thing ever to happen to European PS3 fans, apart from TSA of course, is the Official Blog. Right from the off they’ve delivered everything we could ever have wanted: official confirmations, developer insights and timely updates – we’re impressed. Of course, they also bring bad news from time to time, albeit news that you have to read in-between the lines of to get – and this time it’s the Summer PSN Highlights post that’s just gone up, that – yes – is missing Fat Princess.
We were ‘promised’ a June release and now that June’s come and gone, we were hoping for July. Unless SCEE have missed something with their post, which lists hits like Battlefield 1943, Fallout 3 DLC and Bomberman, Fat Princess won’t be coming this Summer. Instead we have Zombie Apocalypse, TV Show King and Shatter to entertain us. We have our own thoughts on what’s happened to Fat Princess but aren’t prepared to speculate just now without full consideration, but we’ll hopefully have more on that soon.
Update: The EU Blog’s Mike Kebby has just replied to the many Fat Princess queries with the following:
I wasn’t allowed to mention Fat Princess because of what happened last time we mentioned it on the blog…better to be safe than sorry. The developers will be the ones to come onto the blog to announce it’s arrival when a date has been decided. It is coming though don’t worry.
So it would seem that after all the flak the EU Blog received when Fat Princess did not get released in June as they had said in a previous post that they have had to play safe until the have got a firmer release date for the game. The phrase “damned if they do and damned if they don’t” springs to mind. We would not mind some insight into what has delayed this much anticipated game though, so like the thoughtful, considerate investigative beavers that we are we’ll all drink some tequila and make something up.

people who’ve been playing the beta have said it’s pretty broken in it’s current state i think. this adds fuel to that fire i guess.
2 months more in the development oven might be the extra crispiness it needs

So long as they don’t leave it in two long and it burns away all interest!

I know a few folks who are involved in the ongoing testing process, the stuff that carried on after the “public” BETA a while back, and supposedly the game has been crippled with a range of niggling little problems that meant it never quite played right. With the amount of build up this game has had, Titan have no desire to deliver a broken flop so they’ve been working on getting it just right. Good for them I say, how often do we get games that require patching before they work right? I’m glad Titan are avoiding “doing a Bethesda”.

Cool, the title had me worried for a while! really looking forward to this. Would rather that they took the extra time and released a polished title then having everyone on their back’s and waiting for an early patch!

Are your thoughts on Fat Princess that it has been delayed so they can launch the PSN and PSP versions at the same time and have cross platform play? This is what I thought the day it didn’t arrive on the PSN when lots of sites (including this one) had it pegged for a release the following day.

It’s a pity that Fat Princess has been delayed, but then again there is still soome other stuff to keep us occupied – that Zombie Apocalypse sounds fun.
Anyway I agree, there is alot coming out of late, too much and not enough in the wallets
lol

It’s definitely going to be big in the Divine household if the beta was anything to go by.
Still a bit gutted about the TRINE Co-Op issue though TBH…

Upload size must of been too big. Guess they had to slim it down.
