Because it´s not that short.
Source is Reddit which is also the source of the death threats against Jason.
Grain of salt.... etc...
Probably because he can't.
I don't know the new date. I don't even know if they know the new date yet.
It might be because it's less than half a week. Most of the anger was because the date seemed open ended.
Fair enough

Yeah exactly. lol If it was only a 3 day delay then I would of expected Sony to comment on it already.

The long silence leads me to believe the delay is longer than 3 days...

This is the only thing that concerns me. If it is in fact just a 3day delay, then I would assume its because it hasn't been communicated to everyone yet and is still in its planning stages. AKA PR didn't hear about the date change until we did.

If the 3 day thing is true, all this would do is get some free headlines/buzz for the game without that much backlash. Well there was already backlash, but I can't imagine it'll be that lasting if it's only 3 days.

Don't crush my dreams ;_;
the latest footage looks a bit "downgraded"
This looks very cool, what game is that?

I love how people act as if a journalist has never been miss informed before. Seriously have you guys not been around when there's a hardware announcement before.
The amount of completely credible sources that turn out completely wrong is astounding.

Jason might not be misinformed though. He said the launch date was changed to be open ended. People at EB Canada have posted on Twitter and Reddit a new promo showing a new date- 3 days later. He was right at the time.
How is an entire website with thousand of user the "source"? Whuut?

Might be due to problems of printing the physical copies ahead for the release of the game. What if they hadn't enough time to print those physical copies for Gamestop, and that it would not be ready for june 21st, but 3 days later, yeah why not?

Kotaku is never confirmation, would be funny if they are wrong again.

Because GS would probably have sticker that says: "coming June 26" and not "coming soon".
Theres two photos. LegacyZero posted another on Twitter.

Maybe the stickers were only asked to put on before receiving the real date... like the next day, to be displayed for June 24th?

They likely never have a specific dated sticker and instead were instructed to use "Coming Soon" as I imagine that's something they always have to stick on cases and whatnot for games with no confirmed dates.

The only way you can know whether a delay has resulted in a game actually being better, is if you have played the game prior to said delay and can pinpoint the exact changes that lead to the game now being better than it was as a result of the delay.

Basically this. The only source that matters..their own. Hello games/Sony should just say something so i can Mark the new date/ timeframe in my calendar and move on

Sometimes you can play a game that should have been delayed.
The train wreck that was DriveClub says hello.
From what I understand from some people working gamestop (either on here or reddit), the coming soon is a generic gamestop sticker they re use for cases like this. They may not have known quite when and told them to use the generic sticker for the moment (since they would probably have that one on hand).
Anyways, I'm not sure I believe a few day delay but if so, once again I really hope they communicate it soon so I have time to change my vacation request (and not just cancel it).

I not saying his sources are wrong, I'm not saying his sources are lying. All I'm saying is that it's very possible this is all over nothing. Plus add to the fact that a lot of companies have a policy that they don't respond to rumours and you've got a perfect storm.
Sure, that's fair.
Either way a Friday release wouldn't be implausible I think.

Maybe they came to their senses and realized the game needs to work with playstation VR
I imagine because they game was announced quite some time ago and has been rolled out at more or less every big PS event with no date for ages. So moving the date they finally gave is going to lead to some disappointment/frustration.

And I for one am glad they realized releasing a vanilla version of the game in June when PSVR isn't out until October necessitates a three day delay.
Do you think they keep a roll of stickers for each day of the year on hand for these situations??
I don't know or care what the deal with this game is, but it looks like they got hit with unexpected news and they probably actually do have 'coming soon' stickers in all stores, so they used them.
Oh this game...I hope I eat crow, but I can't help but think of Africa on PS3 and Spore, same pattern of hype and user expectations, with the same ending...
I guess we'll know on the 24th of June...or December..or 2018.

I can sorta understand where some SOME people are coming from. Doesn't bother me tho I just went thru this with uncharted 4 and that was a much worst wait.
Yep Sky Rogue. It has a lot of promise, but is in early access for now, so I'd wait and see how it turns out when all the content is done and tuned up.
holy shit, from this guy's profile
Lol holy shit, I have an explorer's edition pre-ordered and I'm not the least bit salty about the delay. The devs have been radio silent for months working on the game, if they need to delay it I'm sure there's something unfinished or something game-breaking. I'd rather the game work.
