[AudioEppa]

That's cool. One less thing to buy this year. Take all the time you need R*

 

[Angel_DvA]

Take your time and deliver, EA should have done that for ME.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Lol, that's ok Rockstar. We expect this from you. Just make sure that PC version is same day!

 

[Milennia]

You can't have it all 2017

Now we have tlou and rdr for 2018

 

[The Horror the horror]

Who is she?

 

[shanafan]

That kid hinders Jinder.

 

[BBboy20]

Who is she?

Wonder Woman.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Orgasmic. I can't wait to play it.

I smell a Switch Port.

 

[Litri]

Errr, boh!

 

[PhantomThief]

Why did they even post that pic on twitter then? If this wasn't Rockstar, people would laugh in their fucking face.

Really? I'd rather a developer takes it's time instead of rushing to meet some financial quarter.

 

[Rumblebones]

PC version 2020 if they follow the trend of Rockstar telling PC gamers to sod off and wait their turn.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Waiting for the PC version anyways.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

So much for that, I'm a fool thinking that there wouldn't be a repeat, oh well. Maybe we'll get a simultaneous PC release too... lol


Maybe they need the Benz.

 

[suedester]

You can't have it all 2017

Now we have tlou and rdr for 2018

That's probably a little optimistic.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Just to avoid further disappointment. This game most likely won't actually release until Holiday/Fall 2018.

 

[Onyar]

Zombies DLC 2019?
I actually hope so, I loved Undead nightmare.

 

[RdN]

Anyone could see that coming from a mile away.

 

[Nategc20]

All those other 3rd parties who planned holiday releases just breathed the hugest sigh of relief.

This game wont even go toe to toe against call of duty 2018 or madden 2019 in sales in the west. Not sure why people think this game is a lock for it to do gangbusters.

 

[mcrommert]

Hahahahahahahahahah

 

[Giraffe Keighley]

Who is she?

Me.

 

[BBboy20]

 

[Clockwork5]

Now that we have the first delay I wonder when it will actually release.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I'm fine with the delay. It's only going to be that much better.

 

[rokkerkory]

That's fine make a better game, esp to run on the Pro and Scorpio.

 

[interfreak]

Orgasmic. I can't wait to play it.

You'll have to.

 

[Siege.exe]

This game wont even go toe to toe against call of duty 2018 or madden 2019 in sales in the west. Not sure why people think this game is a lock for it to do gangbusters.

Probably because the first game sold well and CoD and Madden don't stop other games from selling well just because they also sell well.

 

[Lorcain]

Good call. Make sure no npc's are wandering around with tired faces.

 

[SolarMystic]

Why does rockstar even bother announcing a release window until it's out in 5 months or less? We all know it's going to be delayed.

 

[Elfstruck]

Who is she?

Hmm, Gal Gadot. What's wrong with you

 

[LQX]

Everyone but Rockstar knew this game would be delayed. In fact I think delaying games is part of their marketing strategies.

 

[Havik]

Anyone else think that the (facial) hair of the background characters on those screens looks weird?

 

[The Albatross]

Well, there it is. Too bad, was looking forward to it this fall. At least there's new media.

 

[eso76]

Too bad but expected and no big deal.
Most anticipated 2017 release becomes most anticipated 2018 release, and that's it.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Everyone but Rockstar knew this game would be delayed. In fact I think delaying games is part of their marketing strategies.

They probably know but need to set some target date along the way for both themselves and investors to work towards.

 

[Psychoward]

Now that I think of it, they wanted to avoid Mario Odyssey competition.

Completely different genres on completely separate platforms. The game is gonna sell buckets no matter when it releases, it's an open world game by Rockstar.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

Please be after my finals.

 

[antitrop]

I don't understand why they even postured 2017.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Well, fuck Rockstar.

 

[Option-]

This is actually good for the industry and I wouldn´t conspire against a theory that says that Rockstar deliberatly delayed it to show other devs that they should be allowed to so with their games, too as a sign to the industry (and to dodge Destiny 2).

 

[Toni]

We have to considerate the fact that after GTA 5 Online blew up, the reason of this delay could be to focus on RDR 2 Online, so its ready for retail release. Something R* didn't have to prioritize in before.

Online was almost like an after-thought in RDR 1, primarily serving your regular MP matches as the main component and Co-op on the side for replayability. But for RDR 2, I'd wager Rockstar would want to throw everything together like GTA 5 Online and just create a huge free roam map with stuff to do with your friends in it, instead of separating the components.

Because if RDR 2 online takes off (and its done well), well holy shit at all the extra money that is about to come Rockstar's way.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Doesn't bother me in the least bit.

I want the best damn RDR2 possible. Don't rush anything.

 

[The Horror the horror]

Hmm, Gal Gadot. What's wrong with you

She looks 16 in that gif. How was I supposed to know?

 

[Axass]

So, holidays 2018, fine.

 

[Outrun]

Take the time that you need.

 

[BBboy20]

Well, fuck Rockstar.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

So.... Does that mean we're back to just Zelda vs Persona for this year's Game Awards?

 

[CopperPuppy]

This is actually good for the industry and I wouldn´t conspire against a theory that says that Rockstar deliberatly delayed it to show other devs that they should be allowed to so with their games, too as a sign to the industry (and to dodge Destiny 2).

Hoo boy... They delayed their game just to show other developers that it's OK to take their time? The R* stanning reaches heights unseen on GAF sometimes. I remember some dude talking about the floaty-ass controls in GTAV being deliberate commentary on how listless moving through life feels or some shit. Man.

 

[AquaWateria]

So.... Does that mean we're back to just Zelda vs Persona for this year's Game Awards?

More like Zelda vs Mario.

 

[FunkyDealer]

Makes me wonder why they even announced it would be out this year in the first place....

It's like early, wrong, release dates has become a form of douchebag marketing strategy.

 

[DragonKnight]

Really not sure why people are falling for these screenshots at this point. How many devs have posted beautiful screens only for the eventual downgrade in visual quality?

Guess they are doing exaxtly what Rockstar intended: softening the blow from the games delay and generating hype.

I dont expect the final product to look this good. If microsoft plays its cards right, Ill be in the market for a scorpio so I would love to be wrong.
