Everyone is speculating, but I'll speculate for the positive. I applaud the delay if its for finishing purposed since we've experienced half-assed launches in form of PotBS, WAR, AoC, Star Trek Online.
I'd much rather see a delay for the good of launchable game completion and fuller depth and breadth of game-play then go for the money-grab, as many developers and publishers are getting a bad reputation for.
well this is the worst news I have heard all year and to Bifkek about war comparison really dont know if this can be compared in same way because APB is pretty much a pvp only game from my understanding it isnt going to be like gta where you had npc mobs attacking you, just other players so with the time it has been in develpoment and all the hype they spawned in their podcasts with the release in spring this is a pretty big let down
Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I wasn't comparing the two games directly. I was referring to the fact that EA had supposedly rushed WAR to release as soon as it came into the picture.
Calling this a delay isn't entirely accurate, RTW said the release would be 'Spring 2010'. EA's fiscal Q2 actually starts April 1st, not in June which is the start of Q3 regular for 2010. I think there is a lot of confusion here. EA's investor release states that their first quarter ends march 31st which means anything after that is the second quarter or later. In the northern hemisphere spring is march/april/may which means if they launch in april/may they are not delaying at all and it fits the EA investor report.
funny the link in this post leads to a spread sheet from EA and in it it says" First quarter fiscal year 2011 expectations- ending June 30, 2010" that doesnt mesh with your saying their fiscal Q2 starts April 1st ?
First Quarter Fiscal Year 2011 Expectations - Ending June 30, 2010
Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Expectations - Ending March 31, 2010

Uhh yeah, seems I mis-read something somewhere. I'm going back over the information and can't find where I found the info before. Also the post by Deum says the financial year begins in April which I mistook as saying the second quarter began in april. My appologies, you are correct and my post is completely wrong.

I was wondering why there wasn't a podcast or some new news and I finally found it darn that's a bummer. To bad My comp isn't ready to play it just yet but it will be next month or so.

Deum has been doing Q&A's every Wednesday over at APB Evolved.
In today's he mentions the release again, but no date or time frame.
"As for the release date, RTW have never given a solid release date out. Anything you see at retail stores or online is, again, simply speculation. We originally anticipated a release of Q1/Spring 2010, which is probably a little off, but again, keep a look out for a formal announcement."
