Jason Schrier's contact still says 2022.

 

[wOs]

nah

i actually would hope nobody is mad, disappointed sure, but if someone gets mad over a video game release dates, I suggest meditation. In VR if necessary.

 

[Dlacy13g]

What a joke, what was the point of denying it for so long then?

Well... frankly sales. If this is still something to look forward to this year it can drive engagement for console sales and importantly ... with the Starfield delay ...seeing God of War was still coming this year could sway someone on the fence from buying an xbox now and hold out to try and get a PS5 in anticipation of God of War in the fall. At least that is how I see them benefiting from holding off on any delay news.

Still 2022.
The Avatar bet thread about to do another 180?

Until this game hits the shelves or the 31st of December arrives first, that Avatar bet thread is the best rollercoaster on the planet.
I almost wish i did do the bet just so i actually had some stakes in this fight.

It shows updated because the date on the back-end was changed from September 30th to December 31st.

This thread is too much fun

Agreed, thought this was going to drift into a warring thread but man it’s actually really funny lol

If that was the plan, it's a terrible plan, PS5 already had GT7 and Horizon this year. To me an unrealistic date only causes frustration.

I said the instant they showed this trailer that it wasn't coming out and that it was a classic early announcent to get people hyped for the ps5 and stop people from going over to Xbox.

They never had any intention of it coming out then or in the near future after. Genuine delays are fine but i thought this was pretty shitty move from Sony here.

They clearly had no intention to release on 2021, that is for sure.

 

[TheGodfather07]

ragnarok is coming boys. release date trailer tomorrow.

 

[Swift_Star]

Team Delay just got destroyed.

 

[adamsapple]

Ah, just like when they updated and then announced a Summer 2023 release date.

It shows updated because the date on the back-end was changed from September 30th to December 31st.

Probably this, but let's see.

Lol at the idea that God of war would need to dodge Elden Ring.

If God of War drops people won’t even mention Elden Ring anymore for the rest of the year.

 

[Kagey K]

The idea that any game is going to give up all those holiday sales and lose a fuckton of money, to win an award, is downright stupid to me.

yeah Sony never delays a game after posting a release date….

Lol are you serious?

Elden Ring is big on multiple platforms, including Playstation, still have 60k+ concurrent players on Steam alone, where GOW have 2k+, and is still seen high up on all sales charts all over the world and is one of the highest rated games in recent times, on all platforms, lowest 94 and highest 96 placing it at #37.

If anything Ragnarök in 2022 would get people to talk more about Elden Ring, because it would be the obvious giant competitor at all GOTY events and lists at the end of the year, with Youtube videos and forums comparing the games.

 

[K2D]

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

I'm SURE I dodged a bullet..!

 

[Papacheeks]

Team Delay just got destroyed.

But FF16 ....was delayed?

 

[sendit]

But FF16 ....was delayed?

Was a release date for FF16 even announced prior to the previous State of Play?

 

[Borowski_1]

Was a release date for FF16 even announced prior to the previous State of Play?

no

 

[Papacheeks]

Was a release date for FF16 even announced prior to the previous State of Play?

No. So you got me there.

I think this is a late November early December game.

 

[nominedomine]

Im gonna ask for it lmao

Welp:

What that picture doesn't answer is if it was ever a 2021 game. It clearly wasn't. Jimbo was not holding back with his BS in 2020.

 

[XXL]

That's going to be a lot of crow

 

[Elder Legend]

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.

Ehhh I work in the game industry my guy and have never heard of seen such a thing. But sure whatever you say.

Maybe in 1 to 2 months I can see it but no one is gonna hold a game back for 6 months or more.

Nintendo sits on games all the time.

It's why they're able to swap release dates when needed like they recently did with Splatoon 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Rumor is Metroid Prime Remaster has been finished for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if Windwaker and/or Twilight Princess HD Remasters for Switch are as well.

 

[CosmicComet]

I was expecting a delay to be honest.

No, you weren't.

Or you were lying when you voted that it would release in 2022.

Bad look either way.

Just don't pretend to know more than you do, your schtick is tiring.

 

[balls of snow]

Dont worry guys, Witcher 3 next gen edition is right around the corner.

How? I don’t remember they saying it was supposed to release in 2022.

Dude it was a poll thread for fun with avatar bets? Like how do you take any of that serious? It's all for fun.

We know things can change in this industry at a moments notice, when they were scheduled to do full on scenes Chris Judge the actor literally fucked his back up and needed surgery. This was pre-pandemic. I think the reason we all are not as serious as you is we've seen the game from 2021, and it looked pretty fucking polished in the snippets that they showed. Also Playstation fans have been eating good with GT7, MLB, Forbidden West, New Service with possible stealth releases like Bloodborne remastered.

Forspoken is this year, Stray is literally next month. Remake of Last of us part one coming this fall.

But we all want dat GOW.

Like seriously you take fun avatar bet threads serious? We are all having a laugh and fun, I cant wait to see what kyliethicc comes up with for an avatar, probably something utterly crazy.
