Many PS3 owners (myself included) were waiting for Lead and Gold to be released yesterday, only to be confused when nothing showed up with the update.
Europe had their version out yesterday, and there were announcements that it was supposed to be out yesterday? So what happened?
According to the official Lead and Gold forums, it will not be out until Tuesday, May 4th. (The first Tuesday PSN update).
Robin of Fatshark explains the situation:
"The submission to Sony North America is separate from the submission to Sony Europe. One simply got finished before the other. Since we'd already released the game on Steam we opted for getting the respective versions out to our future players just as soon as we could rather than letting Europe wait for North America.
I'm sorry your version happened to be the one that took the longest but I hope you have understanding for the reasons behind our decision, we've just tried to get the game out to you guys as quickly as we can. "
While it is disappointing that NA PS3 owners get the game later, you have to give them credit for letting the ready versions out, instead of holding them back to wait for the other ones to get done. Of course, one can't help but wonder what this will do to the sales of the game. This knocks it to being two weeks away from the release of Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption. While I believe that there can never be too many Wild West games, this isn't the case for everyone.
