So? In this business things change. Look at what happened to Bethesda's starfield, Microsofts whole E3 was going to be that game, and their fall was going to be just that game. Look at how this shit changes?

Naughty Dog got us this September though.

This ALWAYS felt like a possibility to me, which is why I was never running with the idea of it coming out this year, haha.

If it does, great! If it doesn't, at least I won't be disappointed! 🤷‍♂️

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Dont go counting your chickens just yet.
Theres still a State of Play and Playstation showcase coming, they will give us an actual date at one of those events.
Quietly confident its not getting delayed.

Im not in the Avatar bet thread cuz fuck that ive got a Wonder Woman avatar coming in July.
 
Piss take by Sony. Delayed from 2021 all the way to 2023. Not long ago, devs said its coming this year. Now it's delayed? Messaging is all over the place. Make your fucking minds up!

Oh damn, get yourself verified and post the leaks you have.

You asking about Naughty Dog?

You can tell alot of these guy

Tbh anyone who observes this industry knew it wasnt coming.

No I bet they really are trying to get this game out for 2022. But shit happens, Christopher Judge getting injured in 2019 threw a wrench in for sure. But people salivating on a cancellation is really something though.

Wait a minute, have I missed something. Did Microsoft do their June showcase already?
 
What a joke, what was the point of denying it for so long then?
This will be the second delay. My guess is they are creating a plan to lighten the blow of the delay news. Maybe they will show more gameplay at another State of play then announce the news that way.
2023 is going to be an amazing year right? ... right?

just like 2022 supposed to be lmao
Crazy, but I would not be surprised if most of those games get delayed.

Represent(ative) of bad opinions
I'll believe it when it happens, still expecting 2022

But LOL at this fucking industry, complete fucking incompetence from publishers who value secrecy more than any form of communication. Everything is a secret.

We have 25 games in development and we wont tell you anything about any of them, nor will we ever have a showcase to showcase any of these games. As for release date? Thats a guess too. LOL! Good luck!

I voted yes in that thread but only because i was sure it was never going to get delayed and wanted to have some fun. I still dont believe it.

There is no way in hell a straight sequel with last gen graphics and gameplay would take 5 years to make. Especially when the original took 4 years from scratch to make a fully next gen game with a completely different combat system and mythology.

The only explanation is what i had speculated last year. That Cory took all the best designers for his new IP and the B team was working on it, and they mucked it up. Even then, the B team at SSM put out GOW Ascension in 3 years while all the leads were with Stig on his IP that would eventually get cancelled. So it's not like this B team is unproductive. This game must have been in development hell at one point. This sequel shouldve taken 3 years max. Add 1 year for covid and Kratos getting injured, but 2 extra years? Im not buying it. This is probably a red herring.

I’m happy to eat crow (as long as it’s with bbq sauce) as soon as there is official confirmation. Until then, I think you’re all jumping the gun.

No, the bolded part. You said it was MS entire showcase for E3. Huge if true. Massive if valid. Gigantic if accurate.

Get yourself verified with the site and post the details you know.

It's pretty obvious from lack of software from their entire 2022 so far that they were betting on redfall and starfield. Literally you can go and look up the tweets of Phil with Bethesda people a month or so ago, which was probably to see the game, and saw what state it was in, then following that they made the announcement of pushing it.

Sounds like I rustled some feathers because literally Microsoft has put out nothing for 2022, and probably will end the year with Gears collection, Forza and updates to halo. I'm hoping that Avowed might be ready, but thats wishful thinking on my part.

Lol, you maybe rustled some feathers because you look like an ass bringing up Microsoft in a Sony God of War thread.

Not just GOW related. Any game maker.

No doubt half the time, they give out bogus early dates simply for PR and spiking up console demand. Funny how you never see a game released early.

I forget where I saw it, but there was even an article somewhere where a guy from a smaller studio even admitted they do fake release dates and over the top trailers for sake of enticing publishers or investment companies to help with partnership money.

Shady shit. Anything for a buck and marketing hype.

If anything, it's funny to see the denial on Reddit

Person literally leaking that is the person who leaked state of play. And he's not the only person who has said that Remake is ready, jeff Grubb himself among others have said as much. If God of war is being delayed to 2023 it makes sense to push Last of Us remake part 1 if its done with Multiplayer to be your fall game.
 
So what's really the point of the first two years of ps5 and xsx?
PS5

  • Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart
  • Demons Souls Remake
  • Returnal
  • Spiderman Miles Morales
  • Horizon Forbidden West
  • Gran Turismo 7
  • Faster Load Times
  • Better Resolution
  • Higher Framerate

Xbox Series X

  • Forza Horizon 5
  • Halo Infinite
  • Psychonauts 2
  • Flight Simulator
  • Game Pass and All the 1st Party and Popular 3rd Party Games it Includes on Day 1 Releases
  • World Class Backwards Compatibility
  • Faster Load Times
  • Better Resolution
  • Higher Framerate

How hard is it to grasp this concept?
