Activision have decided to delay the release of upcoming time-shifting FPS Singularity until March 2010. The title was previously expected late this year but with Activision themselves floating Modern Warfare 2 in November and Ubisoft putting Assassin’s Creed out towards the end of the year the schedule was presumably considered to be a little over-stocked. That’s without even considering the quality exclusives available for each of the “core consoles” namely, Uncharted 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction.
Hopefully this is the start of publishers being slightly more savvy about their release schedules and giving us a nice spread of great games to play rather than a few lean summer months and then everything you could ever hope to want being released in late November. I have certainly noticed an increase in quality titles in the first half of this year with the output of the respective digital distribution stores playing a big part in keeping the steady stream of great games coming.
For those of you who might have missed Singularity the trailer is below. It looks singularly awesome.

I’m surprised to see the Xbox logo on there , the graphics are second to none that I’ve seen so far on the next gen consoles .

Wanted "Trophy Hunter" but was too late.

Well first of all, it’s a trailer
And they can properly push down the quality on the 360 version, so the old hardware in the box can keep up. If they can hit GOW2 quality, it’s pretty much the best you can get out of an Xbox 360, which is a fair quality, but nothing specular.

It’s probably a smart decision. Being abit of an unknown game, it might sell better during a quiet period of game launches.

Yeah, but isn’t the first half of next year looking pretty packed too?

Sounds like a repeat of Sony last year putting Killzone 2 back 6 months so it didn’t clash with Resistance 2. As you say, refreshing to see publishers actually “thinking” about the release schedules…

I have to admit, Singularity does seem to have very nice graphics for an unreal engine 3 game, but the game may be unheard of yet to the general gaming public.

I have my doubts too. I can’t put my finger on it but something about it just gets my back up.

That had actually slipped under my radar. Looks pretty good. Although the reforming of crushed objects looks really trivial and gimmicky…

I think the gimmick could wear thin very quickly.

I don’t know why, but I detect a hint of Bioshock in there…
