March? I say too early. I would add several months to that at least. How many exactly I dont know.

Just so we're clear, the thing that we will see, specifically, is that the release date is going to be significantly later than Jan 2018? Or are we going to see evidence of your other claim that the demo was only a proof of concept and the game was barely started as of E3 2016? e.g. the game being substantially different than what was originally revealed?

It's obvious the game's going to be at E3 in a big way, given that poster. Lets wait and see what they show, and if they even announce some date. I doubt they will right now.

Oh.
Well, I am pretty ready for Kratos to retire and for his son to become the man.
He seems more soft natured too, and I think there is a lot of potential to create a character unlike that of Kratos' personality.
I like the idea of a more reluctant hero.

What release date? Nobody has announced a release date and nobody believes the game will be out in January.
And people are "ganging up on you" because you said the E3 demo was fake with absolutely no proof.

Why would Sony green light the title, let them put so much work (VO, Soundtrack, "Fake Demo"), and then fucking SHOW IT AT E3, if there was a possibility they'd scrap all of that because of audience response to the demo?
Remember, we're talking about the studio that Sony sunk $100 million into for a new IP that was ultimately cancelled after 3 years of development.
It's not about the release date, it's about you claiming an entire build and demo of a game was fake yet you have no proof other than "trust me I know, guys".
I dont understand the revelence of this question or how it supports your assertion that the E3 demo wasnt actually a concrete demo or that the studio was unsure as to which direction to take the game before gausing fan and audience reaction.
Release dates are irelevant to your position. Be it 2019, or 2020. Either they had a direction and it was a real demo, or it was not. Try not changing goal posts again pls.

Why would someone be perma-banned for being wrong about a release date ?
and than they will release a AAA semi open world game in two years??

Did you literally just ignore everything he's been saying/ the release date isn't the problem
Top it off with we knew Gow was in the works since 2014 after psx
You just proved his point, they never actually announced or showed that IP in the first place because it wasn't ready to be shown.
Sony wouldn't show some faked "concept demo" of GoW if they hadn't even started on the game and wasn't sure what direction they would take it.
Of course, did you not see that Shogmaster lives in LA! Why would you not believe him???
But he lives in LA. LA!!!!
Yeah I'm just playing devil's advocate here, because the E3 demo did look pretty scripted to me. But that's the only thing that I agree with.

This is more about asserting inside information regarding something. This "information" flies in the face of everything that has been revealed about the game by Cory and Sony. That's why a permanent ban could be coming
A scripted E3 demo? Well I never...

They are always scripted because a lot of times nothing works outside of that or if you do something outside the script it can break the game. That's why these demos are scripted.

Well he could add something actually beneficial to the thread and head down to where the mural is going up and get us some updated photos! Lol
There were two builds.

I guess I can at least do that for you guys. Today is no good but ill try and do that tomorrow.
Come on, be scarier like bish used to. Give yourself in to the bish-side

Ok, tell us an estimate of the release window. Surely you have a much better idea with your insider info than everyone in this thread.
People seem to completely forget that the press actually played an extended demo....
Lots of games have setpieces and demos that actually don't play out like they do in the final game. Him saying the demo won't be in the game just means that deer scene might not play out exactly the same, not that "the game was just scripted animation and they haven't even started on the game."

Nope. you are making a different argument here now, a verticle slice is different than a "scripted proof of concept". verticle slice could be in the final release or improved upon its earlier showing , this is nothing new in the industry.
Also For a developer who sunk 100 million and three years, creating that type of demo which has high buzz among all E3 Demos and trailer is still very impressive and shows there capability, so the earlier argument is still not making any sense.

The thing is.Last year you claimed there was no game and you kinda have here, too. People want answers to that, not the freaking release date which hasn't even been announced yet.
Plus, Cory said the game is fully playable from start to finish, mocap is probably done too, iirc.

If the release date isn't shown, or it's implied that it will launch 12 months on from this holiday, there's a very good chance that the demo - which looked polished - was actually a smoke and mirrors concept of what the game would be, rather than a slice from an actual existing product.
I'd say there's as much chance that we'll get a release date and a comprehensive overview of the game.
In general it's my opinion that it isn't good for games to have more than two E3 conference showings. Then it just becomes a bit of a mess.

Doesn't sound like they have "no idea what direction to take the game" and that the E3 demo was all "smoke and mirrors". At least to me.

Oh wow they had that version recorded as a video too huh.
It reached The Last Guardian status less than a year after its announcement, it's very impressive really.

It's quite obvious they saw the reception of the trailer an quickly made crafting components,alternate paths backstage

Yeah, they were coding as Cory was pretending to play the game with a controller that actually played The Last of Us on another screen.
I dunno. Still waiting on shog.
Why are you creating this ( no sense ) expectation about this possible release date? No one here said something about January 2018.
