Delayed?? Until 2017?....

Wouldn't put it past them. We've barely seen any of it. The last time they spent this much time developing a title we got Killzone 2. This is their first new IP in a long time (in a entirely new genre). If the want to take as much time to make the best game they can possibly make, I don't see that as a bad thing.
 
IIRC Zoetis works for Guerrllia. I think people inferred that from his posts. Don't know if it was ever confirmed though (for obvious reasons).

I am interested though to why he said that. False info to sniff out a mole? Plans have changed? idk but it's definitely a weird post -- wouldn't want to see Shin go.
 
Just to clarify I'm not saying it's fact, but I think, and I emphasise the think, someone inferred that from his posts. Not confirming it guys lol, don't want to spread false info. I could be easily wrong.

Don't think you're recalling correctly. Pretty sure that was loose speculation.

There you go -- it must have been loose speak and my memory is a bit foggy.

I could see Shinobi getting banned from GAF if he was wrong but what would it ultimately matter if "sony got to him"? It's not illegal to say that a game is releasing whenever. If he's not working for sony then what could they do?

I am a little conflicted. I don't want Horizon to be delayed to 2017 but Shinobi seems like a really good guy so I hope he didn't get smoked out.

Do these guys lose their jobs when they get caught?

Edit: I don't see why he should be banned if he's wrong. He usually has good info, but no one is perfect. A slip up every now and then shouldn't result in a ban, unless it's required by our rules.

I don't know why we would immediately assume what he's saying is true and shinobi is either being chased or wrong about the delay.

We know for a fact shinobi is one of the actually legit insiders, for one.
Two, anybody can make a post like this and disappear just to stir shit up.
 
The other interpretation is that Shinobi's wrong, it's still a 2016 release, and Zoetis is suggesting Shinobi be banned temporarily for misinformation, or rather fake/false rumours.

Why would he be banned? He didn't make a thread on GAF to claim this, he just tweeted it.

He could possibly lose access to his sources if deemed untrustworthy. That would probably be bad enough.

But shinobi never came here saying anything, he can say what he wants on twitter it's not his fault if someone bring it here.

I think Shinobi is just a reporter with connections to people on the inside so he should be 100% safe legally. And if he is banned from GAF, people will still make threads about his tweets. 😜

Yep but if he's been leaking information and they put out this false information to bait him then he's not going to be getting any info in the future. He shouldn't get banned here though considering he didn't post it here.

It would be funny if it still ends up being true though.
