And it begins.....

What's the next delay?

god of war.

No announcement date. perfect time to delay it.

 

[Imtjnotu]

When is star field coming?

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Remember when rumors were just rumors? Now you hear about something and it's damn near confirmation. lol

 

[Apollo Helios]

Wow that a big delay. So is this first of many? Like can 11/11/22 from Bethesda be delayed?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

And it begins.....

What's the next delay?

 

[onQ123]

Wasn't this supposed to be the 1st office Unreal Engine 5 game? (Other than Fortnite update )

 

[BatSu]

Cyberpunk 2.0

 

[Sentenza]

It's not just that I called this delay for weeks, I even accurately predicted WHEN they would announce it.

 

[jaysius]

2022 is going to see a TON more delays yet. Just assume release dates are worthless even if they're only a month or 2 away.

 

[remember_spinal]

Don't be surprised when Redfall gets delayed too

If its development cycle is anything like Deathloop it won’t even drop this year

 

[GHG]

Honestly, with all these delays…the super thin release of games, the mess of shortages of hardware it absolutely blows my mind how all these people involved in gaming can sustain a living. Especially all these fake reporters who basically churn out podcasts now…how do they survive, there isn’t much news….it’s intriguing to me.

Said it for a while but I think an industry wide crash is long overdue, especially for AAA/AA studios (who are becoming increasingly desperate and greedy). The relations between these publishers/studios and their customers are becoming increasingly strained, general sentiment is low.

 

[remember_spinal]

Except that isn't true at all in regards to Sony. They launched Spider-Man, GT Sport, Demons's Souls, Miles Morales, Sackboy, The Last Guardian, Until Dawn and many others all in the second half of the year.

And death stranding

 

[Warnen]

And it begins.....

What's the next delay?

 

[amigastar]

Damn, i was hoping for August/September delay. that sucks.

 

[Nemesisuuu]

Get out of here stalker.

 

[sircaw]

that is a rather long delay, was looking forward to some visuals on the game.

Well, hopefully, what ever the problem being fixed is, it makes the game much better, more awesome, so good news from that viewpoint.

 

[Sosokrates]

A famous video game guy once said

"A delay is temporary but a bad game is forever"

[Kssio_Aug]

Huge delay. And and if there's any one more it will be a 2023 title.

I swear publishers nowadays give fake release dates in order to generate hype.

 

[Phase]

 

[KyoZz]

Does this leaker have a lot of credibility? What's their history?

Welp...

Zero credibility, THAT GUY WAS SO WRONG!!
Because... IT'S DELAYED TO FREAKING DECEMBER

 

[cormack12]

 

[captainpat]

Can game studios just stop announcing release date for their projects until their sure it's almost done?

 

[Robb]

That sucks..

 

[rickybooby87]

Ahhh. That sucks. What other big releases are slated until then for XSS? From what I can tell, it's Starfield, then Stalker. But, at the tail end of the year.

 

[Elder Legend]

Fine with me. Too many games are in early quarter anyways and I have a big backlog. This is good and something to look forward to at the holidays.

 

[AV]

If you guys had just been nice to them about NFTs, they would have released on time. Now they have to restructure the whole game.

 

[The Fartist]

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Man I feel like this game is going to get buried coming out so late and it's already not necessarily a monster hit or recognizable name like the mainstream titles.

I suppose at this rate if it is a Game pass game I may consider it but at that time of the year I hardly have time to invest in something as it is when everything else major has already come out.

100 dollars this game doesn’t actually drop in December

 

[Fart Knight]

ARTYOOOOOOOM!!!

 

[SF Kosmo]

 

[JayK47]

So maybe 2023 then? No way this comes out this year.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Those fucking liars. They knew damn fucking well they were not going to hit april when they announced that date, but they just had to get their pre orders in huh? Thats the only point i can think of for announcing a release date then delaying it by more than half a year. Stop fucking announcing repease dates until you are sure you can make it. Tired of these fucking snake oil salesmen lying about release dates. One of the shittiest practices in the industry

 

[MDSLKTR]

The Stalker delay cycle is alive and well :')

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

I guess Halo did alright in that spot then. Maybe Starfield is moving on up.

Edit: whoops i forgot they are third party.

 

[mejin]

Next is Starfield.

Agreed. Vampire Masquerade 2 was even worse. Pre-orders were up for ages and the game kept slipping and slipping until it got borderline shitcanned. We're supposed to get a new release date for that in the near future. This industry, man...

 

[IllegalLemon]

Outcome : Confirmed

And this is only the beginning. Mark my words, this will be one of the many hign profile delays. It certainly is not the last.

 

[legacy24]

wow they did this on Phil's birthday smh

 

[SirKicksalot]

The Stalker delay cycle is alive and well :')

The true Stalker experience so far; add some more delays and leaks and we're golden.

Patterns are made to be broken! But it happens pretty often - Microsoft doesn't have anything in the first half of the year, Sony doesn't have anything in the second half of the year. Now for 2022 it looks like Microsoft won't have anything in the first half and last year Sony didn't have anything in the second half.

Only sony will most likely have games in the 2nd half of this year, with Ragnarok and PSVR2 confirmed

 

[Thief1987]

Release date doesn't matter, this game will be a glorious disaster in any case. Can't wait.

 

[Lognor]

GOW2...we'll see.

But obviously it is not set in stone. It was more in jest. It has happened a lot in the past when MS didn't have anything in the first half and Sony didn't have anything in the second half. Don't take it so seriously.

 

[remember_spinal]

GOW2...we'll see.

It’s already been rated, its coming. Prepare yourself

 

[SLB1904]

Wow. That's almost a year away.

More than one if you are ps fan

 

[SLB1904]

Sony didn't have anything in the second half.

That's straight up false and you know that

 

[Lognor]

That's straight up false and you know that

Like I said, don't take it so seriously!

But I'm curious, what did Sony have in the second half of 2021? I'm drawing a blank. Returnal and R&C both came out in the first half
