Could be because on July 4, 1776, the USA claimed independence from England.

Why care about it anyway?

The whole series is based on hype, they release a shell of a game, advertise it to fudge and st00pid people buy it.

Personally I got bored of the TR franchise after the second one.
But I agree that waaay too many companies leave the UK release much too late if ever atall!

I am dying to get Suikoden 3 but it prob aint gonna arrive here and not having a freeloader for PS2 yet it is kinda out of my reach :cry:

The current reason for delay is that the european version has six languages and it is still awaiting final clearence while they are checked.

do eidos publish their own games?

If not then the delay will be down to the publisher.
Take for example the company I worked for, teh Publisher is german, the company is english, the game is released in germany 2 months before the english and US release.

Q/ Will the english release be better?
A/ no the game will have gone gold, it will be printed and burned at the same time.

Q/ will there be patches available for the english game form bugs found in the German release?
A/ Probably.


See it doesnt make sense, remember, the guys that write games dont do it for their own personal enjoyment, they want to make money. And before the debate of prices of games starts, something like 80% of the price of the game goes to the shop that sells it.
