Earlier, MotorStorm Apocalypse was delayed in New Zealand. As it happens, it was followed by Japan and now the UK. Sony froze the release out of respect for the masses suffered from the recent disastrous tragedies.

Sony's statement:
Originally posted by another user

We are shocked and saddened to see the impact of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and our thoughts are with all those affected, including our colleagues within the Sony family, living and working throughout Japan.

We are very conscious of the parallels between these events and the underlying theme in MotorStorm and are doing everything we can to be as sensitive as possible to the situation.

Although the game itself is already in distribution, we are ceasing any further shipments and removing as much of the marketing materials as possible.

I agree completely with their decision as the themes in the game present a sensitive issue to the lives of many. Releasing the game now, due to the horrible timing, would seem rather tasteless.[/FONT]

Sir

That's an awesome thing to do.
I bet that hurt Sony tremendously, but they will receive much more respect from everyone.
Nice move Sony :y:

How are they taking it too far? Making a game about apocalypse/disaster is ok. But out of respect for what happened, they decided to delay
