Miles was mad a stand-alone game as it started as DLC, we all know that. Yes it’s bigger than normal doc but not as big as the main game. That’s not dissing the game in anyway what so ever, it’s a good game. Just not as complete as a game as the original Spider-Man.
God of war is a power house, they didn’t show any gameplay what so ever so far, doesn’t matter what time frame the other where done in, they need more time. Nobody knows if it’s COVID related if there even is a delay

No, it always has been a full standalone game and always has been promoted as that. It's shorter than the previous game, but excluding Uncharted 4 it's about as long as all Uncharted or Gears of War games.
Same goes with Ragnarok. Now even if it's 40 hous long and includes dozens of new enemies and 99% of the game is in new worlds/dimensions, fanboy trolls will claim it's a DLC because Kratos and Atreus are the main characters, continues the story of the previous one, has some locations that are the same, most mechanics are the same and overall isn't a reboot as the previous one was.

Yeah, getting less likely but still not a 100% write off just yet!

Mir is well known Spider-Man MM started as a DLC add-on and then was expanded into a bigger game, it’s not. Full size game but bigger than DLC. Even when it was announced Sony said it was DLC at first then corrected it.
again longer development for god of war is not a bad thing as the last one was massively liked across the PlayStation fan base. Better to let it be a great game than rush it out

They won't rush it, Ryan said in the interview that if needed they prefer to delay games than to rush the games. But in any case, unless it has a covid related delay, all God of War games had a pretty similar development time, and if they spend the same one with this one it will be released on 2021.
It hasn't been delayed, it still a 2021. When asked about their 2021 games, Ryan mentioned they are happy how other 3 games are going, and also mentioned they delayed GT7 to 2022 because due to covid needs more time and they don't want to rush.
Ryan didn't mention it as he didn't mention many other 2021 exclusives they have, it doesn't mean that GoWR and all the other 2021 PS5 exclusives he didn't mention will be delayed.

That's a good one on a side note why is it that Xbox fanboy are always quick to jump to conclusions about Playstation? Anyways I just want good games to come out this year they delayed GT7 and that's disappointing to me because I'm really am looking forward to GT7

Did anyone actually believe this would be 2021? It was such a weird thing to even mention the date.

While this while not great as far as me wanting to play it, it is great as far as it means the game will be what it needs to be.
Also increases the likelihood of it being a PS5 exclusive. The longer away from launch it is and the more PS5s get sold.

I am never disappointed when I hear about game delays, quite the opposite I always think they should take the time they need and am happy when the publisher let them. I rather play the full experience as intended, instead of a rushed game, where great ideas ended up being cut out, due to time constraints.

How do you know the developers need more time?
Because they only showed a logo and 2021?
There could be multiple reasons why they didn't show anything
What if GOW is the best looking next gen game we will ever see until who knows when, that Moore's Law guy is right and it is near photo realistic, and is actually pretty far along in development?
Hopefully PS5 exclusive to make people need to have a PS5 with some unprecedented set pieces (please)
Why show a gameplay for a game a year in advance that is so far above and beyond anything shown so far you won't care about any of the games or wanting to have a PS5 until Ragnarok comes out?
What if it is a marketing strategy, to have people speculate, needing a gameplay reveal, and revealing a gameplay trailer at the right time to generate necessary hype?
Santa Monica makes AAA games notoriously fast
They only took forever on GOW because of engine creation
The game only took 2.5 years to make afterwards
To give that Moore's Law credit, he did say Fall 2021, and 2021 was shown in the teaser
Assuming they began working 2018, that would give them 3.5 years for GOW Ragnarok
I think SM wants to make 2021, particularly Nov-Dec 2021, to mark 3 years of fimbelwinter

Everyone need to understand that these kind of announcement is just bait to generate excitement and get people to buy the PS5. It was never intended for 2021! It's also logical, if it was a 2021 game, they wouldn't have announced it with just a logo.
I don't believe that God of War will be cross-gen. It will the first "you-want-it-buy-the-new-console" game. Sony knows this game alone will sell many PS5s.
I also think that 2021 is going to be the weakest year for PS5, because 2022 and 2023 seem like will be filled with games and that's only from games we know about (like Spiderman sequel) and there's also the games we don't know about and new IPs that will get announced in the meantime.

Pure speculation based on zero evidence
Could it be delayed to 2022?
Possibly and no one would be surprised
But that depends on how far complete the game was before COVID hit

Etho i support your comments when they sound logical and factual. But man you're hitting new lows off late, what's up with that? First you got schooled by some engineer working on Xbox GPU and now this asinine comment of yours when the teaser shown last year clearly ends with 2021 reveal.

We all know that game is not fucking coming this year lol
I'd argue that is what the majority already knew. They gave a teaser of a teaser with a fucking logo....
We pretty much all knew that 2021 means ummmm TRAILER in 2021. Its actually release sounded so unlikely that I believe Sony fucking damn well knew what they were doing throwing that shit in to the PS5 launch trailer lol They simply did it to move PS5 units. Thats it. We'll get a trailer this year and a release likely next year.

They do that so it can be included in list wars, and then after it’s delayed they quote the bad game is a bad game forever quote.
This has gone on forever without fail.
If people would stop standing for Sony every chance they get and stop forgiving them for everything, maybe they would start acting like you want them to be, instead of how you imagine them in your head.
Right now they have a hardcore base that they know aren’t moving, and will fight anyone anywhere. Until people start fighting for their own rights, expect it to get worse instead of better.

I doubt that has Sony concerned in the slightest seeing as demand is outstripping supply.
Unfortunately for existing owners, they're in a position where they don't try need to worry about how attractive a proposition the PS5 is, at least for the next year or so.

Not sure what you guys have been smoking. PS5 already has offer more next-gen exclusive games than its competitors.
In the 8-month launch period, Sony would have released 5 PlayStation Studios PS5-exclusive games + one third-party timed exclusive next-gen exclusive game:
- Astrobot
- Godfall
- Returnal
- Demon's Souls
- Destruction All Stars
- Ratchet & Clank

People crying about delayed games is still one of the dumbest fads I've ever seen - I don't get the point of it. Why rush to make a shitty game? Look at CP2077.

No, publishers need to stop announcing release dates that they know they can't make.
And stop using CP 2077 as an example, that games situation wasn't the norm at all. No one told CD project red to rush the game out if they knew it wasn't ready. Releasing that game in the state that it was in was greed and incompetence at the highest level.

I can’t stand it when someone says something that’s utter shite, and then doesn’t even have the ability to hold their hands up after the fact.
Godfall and Destruction All Stars are shite, Returnal looks shite as well.
At the end of 2021 we’ll be left with DeS, Ratchet and Horizon that are up to standard. That’s not a bad thing. 3 great games year 1. Issue is Horizon is on PS4, and DeS is a like for like remake of a PS3 game.

There are many games that were in that exact situation. And I will continue to use CP2077 as an example.

Could be for multiple reasons
If the game isn't far along, it's not releasing until late 2022/tba 2023
It's not going to not be ready for 2021, then suddenly release the first half of 2022 if we are to go by people's theory of no gameplay being shown
I highly doubt that being the case
I'm going by who broke the story when no one else did
I'm going by the facts of Santa Monica being a fast developing studio, their own quotes about the sequel, and the fact they most likely have been working on it since 2018
My only disappointment would be if it is cross gen, not if it slips into 2022 to the surprise of no one

1.) When has 8 months ever been considered a 'launch window'?
2.) That list is nothing to brag about.
Ratchet looks nice...but everyone with a pulse was looking forward to GT7 and Ragnarok to punctuate the first console year as the big Next Gen Exclusives.
I'll gladly take Crossfire X and Warhammer Darktide over Ratchet and Returnal any day of the week, twice on Sunday.

In order to form a narrative around PS5 being the best next gen console to get. Launch window games are a huge point of discussion.
Games are delayed all the time. Sony figured they might as well use this as an opportunity to bolster their launch, because no one will blink an eye later. It is very telling as to how Playstation feels about their consumers.
