Why is everyone talking like this information is confirmed? lol

A shiton of people is taking this as confirmed.

And no word on the game doesn't help.

 

[fermcr]

And the winner...for the dumbest take of the year..is..!!

Congrats for being so ignorant.
If a studio feels they should release their product much later then originally planed, they will delay the release even if the product is ready. Happens in movies... happens in games. Happened with the the new Top Gun and James Bond movies. Happens with games...

Why should Sony release their game at the end of the year when at that time gets released big games like COD and FIFA?

 

[Kilau]

I’m suing.

 

[adamsapple]

Nope.

Ah, you mean posts that have nothing to do with a games delay or an avatar bet.


Gotcha

 

[The Stig]

The avatar bet thread right now...

oh man, so glad I didnt take that bet

That actually is a question?

Those holiday months are massive for the games industry.

I made this image which I think some people might find useful.

You and your god-damned receipts....

 

[Bartski]

how about this: PSN database date is NOT a placeholder, it comes out 31 December in the US therefore it is delayed to 2023 but only in eastern parts of Asia and New Zeland???

 

[Draugoth]

Update on the rumor: Jason Scheier will ask his sources for info.

 

[Danjin44]

Mann, I like my Avatar.

 

[DonJorginho]

Not gonna overreact yet as it's not confirmed but if it is then oh boy...

A wait this long for what looks like God Of War 1.5 in terms of reusing assets, no major shift in graphical fidelity and it being a cross gen title.

Especially given the way Sony and SSM have handled communication this year.

It will be a shitshow given this was initially announced as a 2021 game and I'd be willing to bet it went through some development hell.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Nope.

 

[SlimySnake]

Man we never get good years anymore. It’s months of drought for a game like horizon fw which is massive a 7….
I am now positive than 2011 is never coming back. Gaming is so dying creatively because of these insane dev times. Straight Sequel should never take longer than 2 years…

Look. All they had to do was leave last gen behind. They are busy creating bullshit fake lighting probes in every single scene when Lumens or RTGI wouldve done it automatically in seconds. They are busy creating LODs for god knows how many millions of assets in the game when Nanite wouldve eliminated all that. Matrix was made in 8 months by just 80 people. SSM has 3x more employees working on a game for 4 years now. The 90 days UE5 trailer had artists create new enviornments from scratch in just 3 days. 3 artists created over 40 in 90 days.

This is what happens when you start a last gen game in 2018. 2 years before your next gen console's launch. That never shouldve been allowed. They shouldve been working on new engines, streamlining dev and tools to make development faster in 2018. Now they find themselves struggling to ship a game by 2023. Even if by some miracle they ship by September or December, it's almost 2023 and all they have done is make a last gen game, and now have to spend the next two years streaming engine and tools.

Bruh!

 

[Putonahappyface]

Why is everyone talking like this information is confirmed? lol

To create fear amongst the ranks.

 

[Midn1ght]

Are these studios still working from home, lock-down style?

 

[Topher]

Dat Concern™

 

[SSfox]

To be fair, it's not the delay that annoys me much, as i'll still have games to play. But the idea that PS5 will still get crossgen games in 2023 is so weird. Nobody would have though this in 2020 specially with the "We bELIeve In Generation"

 

[DeepEnigma]

Dat Concern™

At least there will be plenty of socks to keep the footsies warm this winter.

 

[adamsapple]

Bruh!

Bruh .. how am I even gonna recognize your posts after the avatar change ?

 

[abacab driver]

Jim is waiting on Xbox to announce their holiday schedule, so he can drop GOWR right on top of their heavy hitter. He ruthless like that.

If anyone knows Jim Ryan is ruthless, it's PS5 owners.

 

[Mr Moose]

Ah, you mean posts that have nothing to do with a games delay or an avatar bet.


Gotcha

Weren't you chastising folks for buying into unsubstantiated rumors like these in other threads?

Another day, another 11 page thread based on an Xbox rumor incoming.

You're also in the 2022 list.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Bruh .. how am I even gonna recognize your posts after the avatar change ?

According to Jim's investor slides, nobody knows.

They platform by year jumps from 2022 to 2025. 2022 showed PS4 games. 2025 showed zero PS4 games. 2023 and 2024 are unknown how many cross gen games there are.

[fermcr]

So they just sitting on it? This is the most nonsensical shit I've read today. So many funny statements today lol.

OH the shock!
Didn't you know that companies can delay the release of their product, even if their product is ready? Yes, it's true.
Welcome to reality.

 

[3liteDragon]

At least I still have overdose a PS exclusive hideo kojima game

Lmao at that avatar change

 

[sendit]

You have no idea how much that image triggers me a Broncos fan, what are you doing to yourself? Don't do it!

You don’t know how much seeing Russell in a broncos uniform triggers me. Week 1 is going to be interesting.

 

[K2D]

I made this image which I think some people might find useful.

I'm not on the list..?!

 

[Draugoth]

Man of my word. First person who DMs me when this delay gets officially announced.

Im gonna ask for it lmao

Welp:

 

[SteelCurtain 59]

Disappointing but expected, definitely removes most of my incentive to get a PS5 this year, might just wait until Spiderman 2 at this point, and then just get Horizon/God of War at that point. On the other hand 2023 is impossibly stacked at this point

 

[H4ze]

lol is there really someone who even thought it would release in 2022 before that rumor? I mean, it's already June and we got no date.
My backlog is big enoughe, I can wait.

 

[Warnen]

 

[Craig of War]

2023 will be so stacked for game release wow

 

[Mr Moose]

I'll believe it when it's official.

 

[adamsapple]

Welp:

He said "but its still 2022" under the spoiler tags.

I'll believe it when it's official.

Since I have just been informed I was also in the avatar bet, I will let DeepEnigma or Topher choose an avatar for me if they would like to

Spoiler

I completely forgot I did the fucking poll too XD

 

[DeepEnigma]

He said "but its still 2022" under the spoiler tags.

 

[Gudji]

Well time to start prepping:

Team 2023 will have a wonderful meal.

 

[kyliethicc]

At least I still have overdose a PS exclusive hideo kojima game

 

[Fredrik]

The green rats are gonna eat well tonight.

Why?… 2023, the year of Starfield, will now have a juggernaught like Ragnarök sitting there competing for the glory, beside other big ones like RE4 Remake and BOTW2, plus whatever else we don’t know about yet.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Seems like the game was delayed internally but it's still 2022. So the database leak makes sense. It probably went from Q3 to Q4.

Watch Sony actually releasing this on November 11 lmao

 

[STARSBarry]

I'm not on the list..?!

I couldn't find you on either of the lists, you sure you took part in the avatar bet?

 

[Pejo]

Im gonna ask for it lmao

Welp:

 

[SlimySnake]

Are these studios still working from home, lock-down style?

Dont blame work from home. Other software development firms have been just as if not more productive working from home.

This is about more than just covid. Everyone saw this coming after last gen the dev times ballooned but companies did not go on hiring sprees increasing the dev studios. SSM still has the same number of employees it did in the PS3 days.

 

[rofif]

2023 will be so stacked for game release wow

So we might get 3 games released whole year instead of 2. wow me

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I never lost faith

 

[JusticeForAll]

That would be very disappointing. Should have been out last year.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I never lost faith
