From Dust PC delayed, XBLA on target

Joystiq is reporting that developer Project Dust told them, "From Dust will hit XBLA this Wednesday and will release on PC on Wednesday, August 17."



The three week delay sounds like some last minute bug fixing and overall polish. The PSN version is still not dated.

Dammit. And here I was, looking forward for this game, when out of the blue, BAM, a delay.

That's the benefit of having a standardized platform. You don't have to account for a ton of PC configurations.

Well, Ubisoft you're full of shit and i think they must have hated the pc platform as simple as that !!...

No. Project Dust is just making sure it's nice and bug-free.

I understand making sure they don't have bugs. But Ubisoft has delayed every AC game in the past few years, and now this. If they know they will have problems with PC compatibility, it might be better to adjust the overall schedule, than make PC users feel like second class buyers every single time.

its simple choice. XBLA have many subs that will pay for this game, pc and xbox owners will buy arcade ver, cuz they dint want to wait another 3 weeks and Ubi will receive revenue from it, while pc version is shady choice for em, piracy and etc.

Yeah, I would say that it would be more shocking news if Ubisoft released a game on time rather than delaying it!
