Are Delays Good? - 11-11-08

Okay, so we've probably all heard the famous Miyamoto quote on this, right? If not, here's a quickie:
Quote:
A delayed game can be good, but a rushed game will be bad forever
Now, what I want to ask you is, do delays always help? I mean, just a few months ago, we saw Too Human. It took literally a decade to make, but numerous factors (an overflow of content, higher standards in design, ect.) made it go from potential masterpiece to utter piece of garbage.

This doesn't necessarily apply just to games, though; this is an overall lifestyle choice that we're gonna examine.

For example, I'm homeschooled, so I get to take the exams whenever I want. That being said, so I finish my curriculum on time, I have to make a choice: I either...
a. Quickly cram and take the exam so I can't continue the course and won't get behind.
or b. "Delay" the next lesson and keep on studying for up to an additional week so I can take the test.

I've treaded both of these paths a good bit, and they both have big drawbacks. I often get a lower score when I rush, and I normally get behind in my studies if I delay it.

Enough of my rambling, though: Are delays always better than rushes?

Re: Are Delays Good? - 11-11-08

With games, it depends. If its to make the game better or to fix something (eg. Little Big Planet) then yes because they are making the game better.

But if its like the wait people in PAL go through with every game then no, its not. We shouldnt have to wait that long to get a game, when the rest of the world has had it for ages! Take Pokemon Battle Revolution as an example. I know that game is old, but I like to use it as an example, if you dont know why then you soon will. Japan got this game December 14, 2006, then america June 25, 2007, now that may seem long, but compare it to Austailia who got it November 22, 2007 and Europe who got it December 7, 2007 then it seems like nothing! Why should I have to get a game almost a year after its release in Japan?! It only takes 2 weeks, if that, on a ship to get from Japan to England and if the different languages of the game were made at the same time, there would be practically no delays, mabey a week, even less if the game was printed in its counrty of destination (eg. all the games that were in english would be made in England) then it could be made a worldwide release date!

In life, the only delay I can think of is the SAT's results, were you would wait months for your test results, but they were scraped...

Most of the time, delays are good, but there are situations when it's not.

I don't know really. I don't like waiting for a game I want to play.
