Rumor : Is Dying Light delayed again?

Oh well, this game looks poor anyway.

Techland said there will be an official statement from them and Warner today.

Guessed as much. They would have just squashed any silly rumors as quickly as possible on social media. The only reason to wait this long to say anything is to prepare a statement which in itself pretty much confirmed that somethings up. Disappointing to say the least because it doesn't seem like the delay is to further improve the game but to change content due to recent events. Hopefully the actual game somehow benefits from it instead of just having the amount of content reduced.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
A delay announced just 10 days before the release, when (seemingly) review copies are already being sent is veeery strange.

Man if those late march dates are true, between GTA PC, Pillars of Eternity, Bloodborne, and Battlefield, it's going to get lost in the ether for me.

So now that GTA and (maybe) Dying Light are delayed, what do PC dudes have for January/Feb? REmake and Life is Strange?

Time to chancel the Preorder if they delay it.

Next Month i will be busy playing Evolve, so i guess i wait for a Steam sale and get this then.
 
Yeah I've seen a bunch of footage and lived in Istanbul and this doesn't really look like Istanbul.

I also always thought they were going for a Favela aesthetic.
I guess you guys haven't seen enough footage, that isn't the only area in the game.


This better not be delayed again, it was my last hope for January :/

I have trouble buying this news as true. So the only connection between the game and the attacks is that Dying Light takes place in a fictional middle eastern city and the attacks were carried out by Islam extremists? That doesn't make any sense.

If it is indeed delayed, we don't know why yet.

Maybe there is a hostage situation in a kosher supermarket that needs taking out.
It could be something like that.

This may explain why the devs didn't know about it until yesterday. Probably a publisher's decision.

If they take out something of the game, what about the people who already preloaded the game?

We don't know yet for sure what's going on, but I think it's a shame for an "apolitical" zombie game to cut out a portion because of recent events. It's not like it'll reflect reality.. That's my two cents about the matter.

Is not it me or does the map look rather small? (From the video I saw on PlayStation it takes somewhere to around 10min to get across) Or can you unlock new territories as you progress?

Surely it will be like dead isalnd (multiple areas with loading)

i though this was supposed to based on South-East Turkey rather than taking cues from places like Istanbul? Nearly a middle-eastern terror hotzone, that sort of aesthetic.
 
I hope it's only delayed in France or worst case scenario in Europe.

That way I can still buy it on US Psn Store.


But if it's delayed everywhere than I don't care anymore.
In March & February I'll play other games (Bloodborne, Order, RE: R2 ....).

This delay will singlehandedly kill the game. RIP Techland.

Despite looking like some South-American city featuring favelas, parts of the architecture as well as the interior areas showed some oriental looking decorations.

Some zombies also look a bit muslimic:

All that could be intepreted as islamophobic content, who knows?
Please tell me that isn't an actual word in the dictionary.

Hi there,

I am the owner & chief of Playerone.tv :)

As today, we still can't have news about this eventual delay...
It is very hard to have info on that case, because Warner Bros don't give any information on Dying Light in France, this is made by an agency.

This is why jeuxcapt can't tell if this is a real delay or not, because Warner Bros maybe don't know / want to say it before releasing his official word.

We still investigate, but don't know yet :)

So a story was published without any real information?

No, this is not what I mean. We were told by Micromania that Dying Light was delayed, then by Fnac.com, and then we saw Amazon.fr was making the same.

What we can't know officially by now is the official word of Warner Bros. :)

I'm conflicted about this, whilst I do understand about the need to be sensitive I'd also be disappointed if they were to change anything due to recent events. Those fucking scumbags who carried out the attacks would love that they were having an effect and affecting freedom of speech.

Where did you see that?

I've been searching their facebook and twitter today, but so far they've been quiet.

From what I've just read on facebook, that's one of three maps.
There is the slums, old town and the city.
That's like what they did in Dead Island too.

Three maps? That's good if true. I always thought there was just the slums (which is the area that has been shown the most) and the old town. Cool if there is a city map too.

It doesn't, but thank you for your opinion.

Delay sucks as fucks if true. Three games I was looking forward to the most this year - Witcher 3, GTA 5 and Dying Light - all delayed ? Fuck this year already.

I feel your pain, that's my situation too although I don't give a fuck about GTAV anymore after the latest shit they pulled.

Maybe, it was just someone on Facebook :/

I just found this on harran-city.com, probably the old town map

Noooo :( I remember watching some footage and seeing the city in the horizon, hoping that we could go there. Please be true! And yea that looks like the old town

You're very welcome.

Cutscenes and parkouring look good, but the combat seems mind numbingly dull. I'd like to be proven wrong as the concept is a solid one, but I think this is going to be another Dead Island..
