Take-Two has announced that Rockstar Games’ L.A. Noire will now be released during the first half of calendar year 2011.
Speaking at an earnings call last night (heard by Eurogamer), Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick explained the delay.
“Every time we push the envelope creatively, it takes a while. In this particular instance, I’m not going to disclose all the advancements, they’re pretty extraordinary, they are complex and worth waiting for.
“Equally, we do try to pick the right marketing window. That is important. One of the things we’re proud of around here is we’ve extended the marketing window. We’ve shown the market if you put something fantastic out people will come out for it. That’s for pretty much year round.”
He added: “That said, we do want to be mindful of what the competition is doing and we don’t want to stack up a release unnecessarily. These are expensive products. One of the things we found with Red Dead to our happiness is we were able to crowd out some of the competition because the best title in the market won the day.”
