Support NeoGAF

[Dabanton]

Happy to wait really.

 

[IaN_GAF]

I'm not even expecting it to hit this date, to be honest.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I am shocked.

Shocked as shocked can be.

 

[Toni]

If it gets delayed again though this will be me.

I'll be like

 

[Art Vandilay]

So fucking pissed.

 

[VeryGooster]

Scared of Knack 2, Rockstar?

 

[roytheone]

I wonder if this will be the first generation without a new gta? At the speed Rockstar is going I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[PHOTOSHOP]

i hope the horses have radio stations this time
but seriously i hope Rockstar takes their time and makes another classic.

 

[Monty Mole]

Strategically avoiding the Knack 2 launch.

 

[LordOcidax]

PC version 2019 then...

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Lol no one takes the first release date from rstar seriously anyway.

 

[EatinOlives]

Destiny 2, Mario, Battlefront 2, COD, Far Cry 5, Assassins Creed, Uncharted LL, Crash, GT Sport possibly?

Way too much.

Too many games in general. A bunch of games from Fall/Winter 2016 moved to Spring 2017 and everyone was like "good! It's too crowded!", which it was because there were games like TitanFall 2 and Dishonored 2 that just got lost in the shuffle. But then Spring 2017 also had a shitton of heavy hitters come out really close and games like Nier Automata got lost in the shuffle because so many games moved there.

I think we're gonna have a repeat of that next year. A bunch of games get moved to Spring, only for Spring to be crowded as fuck still and then it turns out both Fall AND Spring are crowded and games get lost anyway.

Clearly the only answer is to release in Summer.

 

[jdmonmou]

Oh well, I guess that means that Zelda Breath of the Wild will be my game of the year. I'm not sure what else is coming in the fall.

 

[AquaWateria]

if Zelda wins GOTY over Persona 5 I will be disappointed in GAF.

Well be prepared to be disappointed.

 

[Corleth the Fey]

Least surprising thing ever. We'll be here to suck it all up - whenever it arrives.

 

[oti]

Scared of Knack 2, Rockstar?

!!!!

 

[StanleyStutters]

Not surprised, and not disappointed, to be honest. This year is loaded with games and I'm already falling behind on my wishlist games. Also, props to R* for holding back and ensuring we get the possible game. Too many games are rushed and incomplete at launch, nice to see a company take the time to get it right. R* rarely disappoints, still super hyped for RDR2.

 

[The_Dama]

Fall 2018

 

[Platy]

I hope the delay is a way to expand the avaliable platforms... but who am i kidding, it is just open world games being open world games

 

[Kthulhu]

Why even announce it as coming out in 2017, though?

I mean, it obviously was never going to make that date. Rockstar knew it. We knew it.

Dice had the right idea with the Mirror's Edge reboot when it came to managing expectations.

Take Two probably wanted to get people hyped for it ASAP, even though it was probably gonna be delayed. That's my theory anyway.

Eh I don't have much interest in the yearly releases this year except for maybe AC Origins and Battlefront 2 and I don't plan on getting a Switch. Plus the other games listed don't interest me either.

Tons of great indie games out there. Plus I'm sure there is something good you missed.

 

[Adam M]

But the RDR remaster is still coming this year I guess

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Don't mind, there's loads already this holiday. Plus they now get more time with the Scorpio hardware.

 

[muteki]

Thanks Jones ;P

 

[Ray Down]

Oh well, I guess that means that Zelda Breath of the Wild will be my game of the year. I'm not sure what else is coming in the fall.

KNACK 2 BABY!!!

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Oh well, I guess that means that Zelda Breath of the Wild will be my game of the year. I'm not sure what else is coming in the fall.

Mario Odyssey?

 

[gutterboy44]

Delay...nooo. Delay announced with amazing screen shots attached... excellent.. take your time my pretty. Looks amazing.

 

[Elfstruck]

Was God of War 4 delayed already, yet? As it stands the only game I'm looking forward to in Q4 is Mario, at this point

Cant delay when there is no release date yet.

 

[renzolama]

They need the Benz

 

[DMONKUMA]

Oh well, I guess that means that Zelda Breath of the Wild will be my game of the year. I'm not sure what else is coming in the fall.

SMH sleeping on Knack 2 huh?

 

[LordOcidax]

if Zelda wins GOTY over Persona 5 I will be disappointed in GAF.

 

[MrDenny]

Better to have this happen than what happened to mass effect.

 

[Espada]

Holiday 2018 confirmed. This game will get delayed again. Mark my words.

Yup. With Rockstar I expect 1 or 2 delays before we finally get it. This pretty much guarantees Breath of the Wild is going to get GOTY, haha.

One big downside for me is that this means the PC version might be 2019 now if we get the same gap GTAV had.

 

[Dark Cloud]

if Zelda wins GOTY over Persona 5 I will be disappointed in GAF.

I guess you'll be disappointed and don't be surprised if Mario Odyssey beats Persona 5 too.

 

[Boke1879]

But the RDR remaster is still coming this year I guess

This is a concession I'll accept.

 

[The Artisan]

here still hoping they bring back Red Harlow

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

Totally expected and I am OK with it. I just wish next time they wait before announcing a release date. Look at what Bethesda did and Ubi is now doing. Announce and release in same year.

This game is going to look glorious on that Scorpio for damn sure. Now they'll have all the time in the world to make it great and worthwhile for both Pro and Scorpio too, i hope.

 

[Cess007]

TBH, I'm kinda shocked it's as early as Spring 2018. I could totally see it as a Holiday 2018 game

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I for one am shocked!
Nay, flabbergasted!!

 

[Bert409]

Well it's official then, Q1 2017 craps all over the rest of the year. To be honest though, I feel like I've had my fill of huge open world games for now after 200+ hours of Horizon+Zelda.

 

[MegaSackman]

if Zelda wins GOTY over Persona 5 I will be disappointed in GAF.

It will, and probably deserves it. I won't vote any of them (maybe I'll play P5 at the end of the year tho). ^^

 

[oti]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

 

[sense]

Has anyone made the "delayed to launch a simultaneous switch version" joke yet?

 

[GlamFM]

Dodged that Destiny bullet - smart.

 

[kevin1025]

Ah well, this only means I can buy an extra fall game now!

Bring on the spring!

 

[MrS]

why even announce it then

Agreed

They should have done a Fallout 4 with this imo and announced it 6 months before it was due to be released.

 

[Kthulhu]

if Zelda wins GOTY over Persona 5 I will be disappointed in GAF.

When has GAF's collective opinion on something ever met anything worthwhile?

Spoiler

If either one wins GOTY over Nier Automata,
then we have a problem.

 

[faridmon]

Guess Zelda and Nintendo are breathing sigh of relief that they have a bigger chance of winning the GOTY now

 

[2blackcats]

Every other publisher is delighted.

 

[Blobbers]

I simply cannot believe this

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

My mind may be wanting, but at the same I'm not clamoring for it just yet. Besides the last red dead was a technical nightmare to develop we should expect the same from the sequel.
