They are saying it needs to be 'polished' and have more features and shit.
"We're giving our teams more time to develop the Kinect and Move versions to ensure we deliver awesome experiences that take full advantage of the new technologies,"
The Wii MIGHT make it out but xbox360,and PS3 and so on deffo won't and have been listed as 2011 products.I don't see how one version can be ok and the rest not..it's the same game on different platforms of console.
So I guess keep your eye on it is the only suggestion...
'Michael Jackson: The Experience' Experiences A Delay
Posted 10/21/10 6:10 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in 3DS / DS, News, PS3, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360
Once known as "Michael Jackson: The Game," Ubisoft switched things up to re-title their November 26 release "Michael Jackson: The Experience." Things got more interesting when the game's Move and Kinect compatibility came to light, but neither the Xbox 360 nor PlayStation 3 edition will accompany their PlayStation Portable, Wii and DS counterparts to stores next month, as they've been re-categorized as Q1 2011 products.
"We're giving our teams more time to develop the Kinect and Move versions to ensure we deliver awesome experiences that take full advantage of the new technologies," an Ubisoft representative told IGN. The Wii and portable versions of "The Experience" will still be out on time, according to the report.
The delay explains why we didn't see Ubi's Jackson project on the complete list of Kinect launch window titles. "Dance Central" and "DanceEvolution" were both on there, though, so if your motion-controlled dance game cravings are through the roof, you will have options in a few weeks.
"MJ: The Experience" specializes in teaching you how to move like Mike, however, which distinguishes it in a competitive market right now. With dance games in style for the 360 and PS3 this season, it may be smart to spend some extra time polishing as Ubisoft says their developers are doing. Then, if there's a second wind of dance game hunger after the new year, they'll be there to snatch up everyone's post-holiday spare change.

Prior to this the games was never listed on the Ubisoft website but it is there now, in the coming soon section.

Another thing that seems strange is there is a link on the side for the games "Official Site"
The Official Site for this game is a facebook page:

All the other games on the page seem to have an actual Official Site page.

but it doesn't answer the question...why have it ONLY JUST listed under 2010 then release a statement saying its 2011.
Not directed at you I'm just asking that question....seems a bit odd
2. Why is the release date listed only as November without an actual date on Ubisoft's website? Why does the article state that the release date was known as November 26? Why if the release date has been pushed back the Company's website hasn't been updated? The company website seems to be the place where people would be looking for information about Ubisoft's game releases, so it seems odd that it isn't kept current.
3. Since when was a game's official site a facebook page and why doesn't this "Official Site" have any mention anything about a delay in the release of the game?
1.Exactly...just like the 'album' a general release date of around November 2010 was given but no promotion followed and then around sept/October when people began to question where it was going..was it coming out...what was the deal with it...a statement was released saying it was being held back until 2011
Working in music I know more or less EXACTLY how many months of promo and hard non stop work go into a new album release,regardless of the artist but for a Michael Jackson album..should of been double efforts made,a date set and so on...but nope.I knew months ago it would never be out this year.
Same with the game...where has all the promo been...???? One obviously fake/set up youtube video that doesn't even resemble a real Wii commercial.They used a TII dancer in it to top it off.
I have not seen it on TV in the UK or in the US,nor in any magazine,etc.
Since the guy is you know 'DEAD' you would think more effort would go into promoting his post humous merchandise since he can't do it himself but zero effort has been made with either of these products.
To not have an obvious number 1 selling game release listed on your website is highly suspect and just unbelieveable really.
That article only came out today which is just a month before it's due date....I think a little more warning would have been given.They obviously knew it had problems or needed polishing so why leave it till now.People as peacock said^ are going to buy an actual console to play it on...if I was a parent or had bought a Wii or Xbox solely for this..i'd be fucking pissed.
Those game company's pay people to update websites daily..i know..my friend does something similar for Sony games as well as tests them(cushy job)
Triumph International -MJ's company which is now run by Al malnik (also Blankets godfather and did claim to be his actual biological father but we won't go into that here lol)
It was halted in 2007 and just after MJ'died' and before his FL funeral..it was back up and running....
TI owns everything to do with MJ's name and image and therefore a big part of MJ's estate issues.Never hear him mentioned though do you.....
this is the link for the businesses registered for Michael Jackson.
<!-- m -->http://www.seravia.com/records/world/tr ... el-jackson<!-- m -->
you can see the Triumph International name at the very end of the game video on youtube in VERY small print.
If both this game and the album where going to bring money in to the estate which is apparently in so much trouble...why has more effort not been put in to make sure they are released on time and fans aren't kept waiting a year and a half + after Michael 'died...they will rake in Millions across the world.
Neither had an official release date..just a month...both November....both held back.November is PRIME christmas shopping sell time!
I don't think a high profile game has ever only just had a facebook page..there is ALWAYS a website linked off the makers site and availble for general info,cheats,etc etc...
[youtube:1eoigjtp]
MMMHMMM....once again...nothing adds up.
Also,lets not forget this game features Michael's dance moves so how long has this been being made?...surely they needed the main man to put the sensors on so they could track his moves and transfer them into a virtual movement for the game..or was someone else used for this as well??
Apart from everything else I mentioned above that is fishy and not normal for a game release,pretty much...and they only just realised a month before it is due on shelves across the globe....what.ever.
Shouldn't it be like..getting packaged up and shipped out a month before..and advertisements be up months ago in places like GAME and so on...way back in summer/early fall...
They knew this wouldn't be out months ago.
so read it again and substitute the word hoax for game <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o -->
Read which bit again??
or maybe not to replace with hoax but bam
Oh I like that!
A crew of expert backup dancers and Michael’s Dance School help take your performance to the next level
Besides the obvious "dance" means several other things:
Dance
1. The manipulation of movement
2. To fight; to scrap; to engage in a confrontation.
3. A scurrying about toward a purpose
4. To act in a way that is pleasing to others to the extent that it requires effort beyond your natural personality and normal actions (change your behaviour?)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dance
Being taught Michael's moves to take our performance to the next level...
YES!I like it too
This has just totally become something else than a delayed game LOL...I wish I could edit the subject title
what do you think about that youtube video....BAM move by sony for a game..or something..
I thought that after seeing the video/advert on youtube and NOWHERE ELSE using a TII dancer and looking nothing like a Wii game.Not an official one anyway.
And as was said earlier..no website,no proper release date,wasn't listed on ubisofts website..er?
We shall find out in 4weeks time if the DS version is released..which I might put a bet on, on it not.
But its good that its delayed, it means that its gonna save me some serious cash over the next month <!-- s
You cant Rush perfecction
Hello!!!
Intresting substitute you made suspicious mind!!!! <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->
It could be possible yes,but its somethimg FISHY with all the delays we have from last year:the memorial,the funeral,the This is it movie,Jermaine tribut,Michael's new album,etc.WHY ALL THIS DELAYS this is my question here????? We know that Michael was always late,even some people who worked for Sony confirmed that and not forget the 2 hours late from the family at the "funeral", <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: --> .
So this is strange,like the All Hoax actually <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) --> .
This is what I received on my email about the delays regarding the game :
Release Delays For MJ The Experience
(22-10-2010) According to reports from IGN Ubisoft confirmed today that both the Move and Kinect versions of Michael Jackson The Experience will now ship in early 2011. The publisher said this move was done in part to allow its developers more time to polish the games.
"We're giving our teams more time to develop the Kinect and Move versions to ensure we deliver awesome experiences that take full advantage of the new technologies," a representative said.
Ubisoft did say, however, the Wii, DS and PSP versions of the game are still planned for this year and will ship on Nov. 23 in North America and Nov. 25 in Europe, Middle East and Asia.

LOVE AN BLESSING!!!! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
Fully agreed! And just let's go back quickly to the O2 gigs: I was expecting Promo work for the 02 shows - between March and July ('09?, '10, '11, <!-- s
True you can't,you can however have a website,decent advertisement campaign and promo instead of shit youtube video and have it up on the ubisoft website like it actually matters.They have had over a year to make it right.Not a month before.
@Applehead250609 we meet again haha
That email was sent out on 22nd but the MTV article is from today.
Most of what was in your email was in the article...with a few added bits..like..it's been delayed.
I know the DS game is meant to be coming out but still..have you seen ONE piece of promo for it in any shop?it's 8weeks to Christmas...and 4weeks to it's arrival...and not one poster is up anywhere....
All we can do...is wait and see.
I on the other hand think it's going to end up being put back all together until 2011 or it is actually just totally fake.
It's just not standard for a game,for the most influential musican of the millenium,to not be ready..have no promo..no website....no proper advert on tv...and be so unprofessionally handled since it is his company behind it with unisoft
Ubisoft only just added it to the website..should of been there for months.
Whether the game is real or not....the rest of the issues surrounding it are real and very bizzare.
I might not know everything about everything within this 'production'/hoax I do however know about the music and ent industry,marketing,tours,promo,albums,movies,TV and so on.
If i get into the 02 thing...i'll be here all night HAHA.....i will message you some of my notes on it if you want,but the 02 didnt even have a poster up inside for this is it..they had no set,stage,lighting..nothing.
All they had was the merch,ready to go on sale.As soon as he 'died' it went in the exhibition they put on.They were only prepared for that....not the tour.
Anyway....
Nothing has happened since March 2009 whether it be recent or gone that I have looked in detail at and gone..yeah..that was kosher...no holes in that,legit.
There is a list longer than my driveway of things wrong with everything that goes down/is planned/cancelled/whatever.
Phew.
it was always fake
it was what the dirty dogs were gonna do but realize they will find themself in a world of hurt.
things were not intented to take this long
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
i want my jacket <!-- s
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."I've taken pictures of the ad at Gamestop too.
I don't believe this game is a hoax..
There may be inconsistencies, but in my eyes, it's just a delay.
