It's delayed. Let me say that again for all of you who are still cuddling your pillows for the night of May 7th. Its DELAYED. It has been officially announced. I know it sucks, but life goes on. Suck it up, we still have 16 more days to go.

Look at the positive side of things. We're getting nice instant updates for waiting a little longer.
but let me say this: that is a small-medium gaming mag not a large one why would they be the only ones with that information? also look @ the top where they have the pic of the game and some basic info about it. it says the release date was the 28th of February for the game.. i dont know how credible that is and until i hear hired gun or M$ say something im not gonna believe that.
While I agree with you that Gamepro is not the BEST game-mag out there, let me say this too. Which would you trust more for videogames? Gamepro or Target or Walmart? Gamepro has dedicated people working day in and day out, to provide gamers with updates. Now while I am not a gamepro subscriber, and I prefer PCGamer for my news, I am not surprised that Hired Gun would speak behind the scenes to Gamepro. I am surprised that they have not spoken to anyone else about this issue.
They say that the release date was changed, but they did not specify to when. They mention that some sites have taken the liberty of changing the release date to the 28th of may. I believe that Gamepro is a very credible source of information, and among the best in the field, not THE best, but certainly up there. If they say that the game is delayed, well nine times out of ten, it will be.
I am not appreciative of having a three year old port come out three weeks later than it should. I'm sure that the guys at hired gun feel the same way. I am prepared for the release date to be may 8th still, however, I do not expect it to come out by then. Maybe we'll get a demo instead. We should all get an official announcement in a few days, maybe by Monday. Till then, for those who care, keep your fingers crossed.
