It’s a very crowded place to be, and certain games need more space to live their life. Everybody at working on the project, both at Quantic and Sony, believe this is the right time.
Game’s out then in 2010 for PS3, considering the Alpha build for the game just got delivered “on time, on budget” to Sony. More through the link.
