The game's release date will be announced as "Fall 2016", but will ultimately slip to "Spring 2017," so we might as well just get it out of the way now,

I should also mention, in the interview they talked about NeoGaf and that it was the first source of the leaked pictures. Also, we know they're here, I am sure they will clarify this, hopefully.

I really hope not. Sony has taken their time releasing games this generation but im hoping 2016 is the year. Uncharted, Persona, plus Horizon would be great for me. The Last Guardian as well.
Why are people so "concerned" that the game is delayed?!
And isn't even a delay from 2015 to 2016, this is a game that it's at least 1.5 year away.
Let's wait for at least a official confirmation or more evidence (as the information about the "delay" isn't even documented on video).
They just had a live gameplay presentation less than 2 months ago.
Sure, the game might get delayed, but i don't think they would commit to a new date this soon.
Edit: Here's the part where he talks about the leaks here on GAF:

Maybe because theres no need to rush, they can take their time and make the best game possible.

That's not really a terrifying lineup if you're the competition. It's a *good* lineup, but, hardly any of those are system sellers.

Expecting any game that does not have a definite exact date to be released exactly when you expect it to means you will be constantly annoyed with delays

Persona is this year though
Didnt recent news suggest 2016? It was listed in some PS video being 2016 i thought. If this year though, i would be happier though.
I think that was SCEE, so for Europe. Not like anyone would be surprised if EU got P5 like 6 months later.

This is already years in the making.
Yeah this reminds me of time time my mom lied about my little brother's due date. I can't believe the birth was delayed. Really pissed me off and I haven't trusted my mom since. I also lost all hype for my brother, can't be bothered with him now.

Ahhh. I hope so. Gotta love Persona xD If it doesnt make 2015, i hope its early 2016 at least.
Didn't someone from GG say they've been working on Horizon since Killzone 3? Half worked on Horizon and the other half worked on Killzone: Shadow Fall or something like that. So I think a 2016 release is still possible and Killzone 3 came out in 2011. So that's much more than 2 years.

In the interview there's some information about the development, too

Gerrilla said 2016 didnt they?
And why are people so sure that Crackdown, Scalebound and Halo Wars 2 are undoubtedly releasing next year, when what we saw about those two games is equal or less of what we saw of Horizon?
And they don't have exact dates either....
This dev in the interview said that the game just entered full production after Shadowfall launched, in the beginning of 2014 - https://youtu.be/W4FHRRhON24?t=671

Well obviously this is what needs to be done given what happened last year. But still, Sony should stop announcing release windows when they know they can't hit them.
I've been waiting for the delay announcement for this game but I didn't expect the announcement until next year. If they're already delaying the game until 2017 then it's likely further behind than many of us thought.

Why not just give them the time they need to make it the best game possible. I wouldn't want the new IP to ship in an unpolished condition just so that they can compete...
Besides, they already have plenty for next year...God of War and GT7 are good possibilities, and they have dreams, uncharted, TLG, street fighter, NMS, ect....
I am not trying to compare lineups, but just saying that from a first party standpoint they should be solid that they don't need to rush this new IP.
And besides, the PS4 is gonna sell well regardless of what exclusives are on the competition's platform.

Yes, at E3. Watch the end of the stream when Daemon asks Hermen Hulst when the game will be released. I don't think it gets any more credible than the head of the studio.

Yep, I doubt GG suddenly realized it would take longer just in the last month. A delay down the line is certainly possible, but at this point I'm taking the studio's word over a rando journo.
Ohhh okay that makes sense, thanks you guys!
You're welcome =]
And everyone that is interested in the game should watch this interview, it's really good.
Lot's of small info about the game and the development

Why does EVERYTHING have to be in response to what competition is doing? Sony needs to have a balanced release of games that sell PS4's period. You don't worry about competitors lineup versus putting out quality products.

Sounds about right.
Figure it will fall around Bloodbone time, 2017.

Sony now says "aiming/targeting" for a lot of things after that guy tried to sue them over Killzone's resolution.
That isn't even remotely the same thing. Try again.

Aiming for 2016, and then getting delayed to 2017 =/= Will be early 2017.
Can't blame them, honestly. Just look at the shit ND got from some people for dropping the frame rate of Uncharted 4 to 30FPS even after they said they were just "targeting" 60FPS.

2017 it is!
They are working on this for 3 and a half years already. If it comes out holiday 2016, it would be 5 years in the making

Good. Take your time and get it right. Everyone wanting you to rush it will just complain about the incomplete game you'd release anyway.

While there is never any guarantee a game will make a release date these days, the fact they actually showed off real gameplay when they announced it and it already looks very polished, is a good sign that it will hopefully make 2016.
How so? do we know which PS4 exclusives (not PC/PS4 or PS3/PS4) will be releasing in the first half?
Any sort of delay will be beneficial for the final project. If they feel as if they need to give this game more dev time along with time to develop a marketing campaign for maximum exposure I would rather they take their time and push out an extremely polished hit so it can develop into a franchise vs. it being a slightly wonky niche title (not assuming this is the case or ultimate outcome). I understand the frustration due to how well it's been received so far, but there are other titles to play in the meantime. I'll sit here and be patient.
