Support NeoGAF

[rickybooby87]

Paul Tassi is literally Benny from The Mummy saying a prayer in every language to every god hoping that this will happen.

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

Why would any developer confide in this guy.

Game devs are notorious alcoholics, so Jason probably goes to the bar the devs go to after work and talks to them then.

 

[R3claimer117]

Unbelievable, they dangled that carrot in front of people to get those subs promising AAA games day one and the console will be more than two years old with very little to show in that department.

Xbox fans were hyping this game so much that I knew it wasn't gonna go right.

Lmao so there’s been no triple A games released in game pass. They’ve just been lying huh? Fanboy logic

 

[Heisenberg007]

If they feel it was in Cyberpunk-type state, will a 4-6 month delay be enough? It took more than 15 months for CDPR to fix Cyberpunk. I think Redfall might make H1 2023 and Starfield will be pushed as the big Fall 2023 game.

Either way, glad they didn't release a broken game.

 

[ahtlas7]

No game wants to go against Elden Ring at game awards.

 

[Riky]

Worst news ever, not surprised at Redfall but they were still maintaining Starfield was coming November very recently, that's a bad look.
They both better look good this time next month and they better have something for this year.

 

[Kilau]

Hype holding for another year.

 

[Aion002]

I guess some things never change...

 

[Kacho]

Remember when people said 2022 was going to be a stacked year for gaming?

2023 let’s goooooo

Just wait guys. Trust me.

 

[nominedomine]

Lmao so there’s been no triple A games released in game pass. They’ve just been lying huh? Fanboy logic

Very little doesn't mean none.

Very few day one AAA games have released on gamepass so far (you can go as far back as you want), that's not an exaggeration at all. Come on, you need to be able to admit at least that.

edit: I think this thread will be closed, so I posted this on the other thread.

 

[kraspkibble]

Starfield

you OK mate? how you taking the news?

 

[Umbasaborne]

How the fuck does it take them over 5 years to make a new game? This shit is ridiculous

 

[Hendrick's]

Redfall was expected, but Starfield too? Well that's disappointing. It better have one hell of a showing come June. Wonder what they will have as a fall release now?

 

[Sub_Level]

Maybe FFXVI devs really do have the right idea by not talkin about or showin their game until its actually ready. As it is the 2020 reveal was probably too eary.

And lol Call of Duty is going to sell so, so, sooooo fucking much. Zero competition. Red carpet rolled out.

 

[begotten]

It's over Craigbros

 

[adamsapple]

Remember when people said 2022 was going to be a stacked year for gaming?

This is shaping up to be the worst second half for gaming in a long while.

Unless we get some megaton release announcements at the showcases, the rest of this year looks fucking barren.

Good for the backlog, I guess.

 

[THEAP99]

2023 let’s goooooo

Just wait guys. Trust me.

That's literally the cycle. I don't understand why people say a year is stacked when a game was supposed to release before. This bullshit empty hype must stop!

 

[Ozrimandias]

I have a PS5, pretty happy with the games I'm playing right now, I was planning on finishing Elden Ring, then Horizon 1 then Horizon FW and Returnal. I was planning on getting an Xbox for Starfield and some older games, so....delay Starfield, is fine by me.
Anyway, Bethesda better not use the Cyberpunk example, they got a closer one... Fallout 76.

 

[kraspkibble]

Fair okay to MS/Bethesda on this.

But given the utter bug fests Bethesda usually release, I'm guess first half of 2023 is also going to be a bit of a stretch.

they could delay it to late 2023 and it'll still release a bug fest. it's Bethesda.

 

[Topher]

Starfield

you OK mate? how you taking the news?

 

[begotten]

This game will never live upto expectations. Should just bite the bullet and release it, let modders save it like every other BGS release to date.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

It always was.

Maybe overreacting, I regret my Series X purchase. It’s first party is more of the same so far, no clear multiplat advantages , noisy controller and the UI is last gen with added themes. I barely use it lately.

 

[Borowski_1]

i for one am really shocked that a game with a release date given a full year before it comes out, and without any reall footage, got delayed

how could this happen?

 

[worldwithpyramids]

I actually did think they would hit 11/11 with Starfield. They were so confident with that early date reveal.

Redfall never felt like it was coming this year.

the second half of 2022 is fucking barren now though.

 

[kanjobazooie]

Can't wait to play Starfield on 23/23/2023.

 

[TintoConCasera]

wtf 2022, you used to be cool

 

[kraspkibble]

I actually did think they would hit 11/11 with Starfield. Why announce a date so confidently too.

Redfall never felt like it was coming this year.

the second half of 2022 is fucking barren now though.

i bet the next date will be 3rd February 2023 because americans are weird and that would be 2/3/23.

 

[Craig of War]

I'm sorry.

From now on when someone question if a game will be delayed
I will never again say a damn thing
i learned my lesson lol

 

[Hendrick's]

I wonder what is their Q4 release then?

New Quake? Maybe Indiana Jones? They better have something up their sleeve.

 

[Hezekiah]

Wow.

Redfall was expected, no idea why they didn't announce it earlier. But Starfield they have been pushing for November for months now. However I'm glad Bethesda arent satisfied with putting out a buggy mess like they normally do. I think it's clear MS wouldn't allow them to do that under their ownership.

I wonder what MS has planned for GamePass, because this year has been dire for them.

 

[nominedomine]

Maybe overreacting, I regret my Series X purchase. It’s first party is more of the same so far, no clear multiplat advantages , noisy controller and the UI is last gen with added themes. I barely use it lately.

You can always pass it forward and move on, unless you already bought years worth of Gamepass then your options are more limited.

 

[xacto]

Don't be mean, guys.

"16 times the detail!"

 

[kuncol02]

If even the devs are comparing Starfield to Cyberpunk, then not even a delay to 2023 is going to save this project from what it sounds like. I’m hoping this isn’t another mismanaged project from Hell.

Not "are", "WERE". Last year.

 

[Missingnomer]

It's just so weird! I really thought they delayed it last year because Microsoft told them to spend a year ironing out bugs and making it look prettier, but this just tells me they actually have more problems than just bug fixing...

Starfield, please don't be trash.

 

[Punished Miku]

Remember when people said 2022 was going to be a stacked year for gaming?

Switch is killing it! Even without BotW.

 

[just_like_that]

a major blow, barely any exclusives this year, MS better make a comeback next month. hopefully games being announced that arent a million years away.

 

[kingfey]

Look at clown here. Yup that is me, after this news.

Ffs can we get less delays.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

But they made all the videos kissing their own asses with artwork shown.

 

[Duchess]

Hopefully the context of "next Cyberpunk" was:

"Let's delay the game so it doesn't become the next Cyberpunk."

 

[Aguero9320]

Insert as appropriate depending on circumstance:

1) How dare they release a game in this state? They should have delayed it. Total money grab.

2) What a fucking joke that they delayed it! Now they have no big Christmas release! I’m selling all my consoles.

Fucking internet

I kind of like that they didn’t wring their hands over the announcement - no ‘difficult decision’ or ‘we know this is disappointing’ crap. Just ‘we’ve decided to delay it to make sure it’s right’.

 

[The Cockatrice]

God of War next or it takes Starfields place for a Nov rls. The former more likely. What a meh year if that happens.

 

[kraspkibble]

stevie wonder could've seen this coming.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

It's just so weird! I really thought they delayed it last year because Microsoft told them to spend a year ironing out bugs and making it look prettier, but this just tells me they actually have more problems than just bug fixing...

Starfield, please don't be trash.

Is going to be a Bethesda game. For the good and for the bad.

 

[adamsapple]

We will get our day in the sun, my friend.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm expecting a year delay.

 

[yazenov]

Microsoft want to be like Netflix but fails to deliver on the quantity part.

 

[xHunter]

Called it:

Kinda unusual to give out a date that is that far out. Can see it slipping into early 2023.

 

[Elios83]

Cyberpunk changed the landscape for big RPG releases, Bethesda can't afford to do their usual launches full of bugs and performance issues otherwise the backlash would be huge and with a new IP they can't afford it.
They need more time, it's better this way.

It's ironic though that so many people pretended this wasn't even a possibility while at the same time they were concerned about other games being delayed.

 

[Umbasaborne]

For real though, they need to stop announcing release dates/windows until they know for certain they can hit them

Maybe FFXVI devs really do have the right idea by not talkin about or showin their game until its actually ready. As it is the 2020 reveal was probably too eary.

And lol Call of Duty is going to sell so, so, sooooo fucking much. Zero competition. Red carpet rolled out.

i agree, i have a bad taste in my mouth now for starfield and breath of the wild 2 because of these massive delays. Square is wise not to commit to a release time window for 16 until they know they can hit it. Remember how embarassing it was for them when they announced xv’s release date just to delay it a month later?

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Does this guy ever find good news for MS related content?
