So nothing has changed since E3 as far as the date goes.

Yeah, would be weird if something like with Uncharted 4 happens again, where the announce a 2015 date and shortly after rumors arose that it might not make 2015(and this turned out to be the case).
If this happens to be the case here again Sony should rethink its approach. Rather say nothing about the release date if you can't be 100% sure you'll make it.

Wonder where the journalist got that 2017 release date from...

Given SCE's track record so far this gen I am expecting a delay.
They don't give a fuck about having games out in the holidays

He probably subscribes to Tales From My Ass magazine.
Well it wasn't an official statement, just a short subclause mention on another topic

And they have The Last Guardian as a Fall 2016 title anyway. That alone is all they really need.
If horizon does come out in 2016 I would be expecting an early - mid release like August or something.
As much as we love TLG, it will have nowhere close to the mass appeal.

The thing is though, is that Sony is plenty comfortable not giving any dates whatsoever to their game announcements. The following are Sony first-party games with no release window :
- dreams
- Rime
- WILD
- Guns Up!
- Shadow of the Beast
- Everybody's Golf
And that's supposed to be bad?
If you said "out on time" i would agree that this is annoying, but i could care less if a game launch in the pre-season (outside of holidays)
Good for the fans. Dunno how it works out business-wise though.

You need a release date or target for a delay in the first place.
But...
Infamous, Uncharted 4, Drive Club, The Order
All - as far as we know - are "early 201X titles"
I see an "avoiding 3rd party holiday bluckbuster-pattern" here.

"2016"
I think after their last 2 big delays, (Order and Uncharted), we'll probably never hear them talk about their actual intended release window (spring, summer, fall, winter) until they're actually genuinely confident about it.
So they give themselves a buffer and room for 'under-the-radar-delays' by using the broad "year" window. So let's say originally TLG was a summer game that got delayed to fall, no one would know if they never revealed the summer window to begin with.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
with what mircosoft had releasing next year along with this year sony devs need to step up and finish their games
I imagine we'll get a release date for Dreams at Paris Games Week or PSX. I feel like it would be Q1 or Q2 and will be one of the games launching with or before Morpheus since it has Morpheus support.
Driveclub was a october game
But again, what assurance we have that all games MS announced to next year aren't gonna be hit with delays?

Or they could take their time to make the game the best it could.
Making rash development decisions based on what your competitors are doing is never the right choice.
They had 2016 as a target.

A few of Sony's bigger games are releasing 1st half of 2016 including: Uncharted 4, Ratchet & Clank and Street Fighter 5. Possibly Persona 5 (I still don't think it will make 2015 in English)
The whole not counting PS4/PC - PS4/PS3 thing is pointless, they are still Playstation Console Exclusives (not on Xbox) so they should totally count when talking about Playstation games. I mean if we really want to get picky, what about soon, when we can play Xbox games on PC ? Do we stop calling Xbox games exclusives.

Sony doesn't need to answer to Microsoft. They set the tone and they like to release games when they are ready and they don't like to cram their titles into the holiday season.

It's still targeting 2016. A delay's not confirmed.
I know. I was just pointing him out why I wrote that. It doesn't matter anyway since they are indeed still targeting 2016.

Oh man, assumption is the mother of all fuckups!
That would be disappointing to say the least. Sony WWS is terribly slow this gen, good thing they have deals with third and second party developers -__- Just when I thought that the Bloodborne's modus operandi (one year between announcement and release) would become more common

Bruce Straley : Video Games, man! It's technology. You can't trust it!
No reason for them to worry much if by end of 2016/early17 we have Uncharted 4, Horizon, Shenmue 3, possibly FF7R, The Last Guardian....

Oh man that sucks!
Does it even count as a delay since 2016 is not official?
This should be in the OP. I can already see people falling for that journo's words.Mark just tweeted this

Probably because, if this is true, it is waaaay too early to show anything substantial for a while. If this is accurate, it sounds like the e3 video was a proof of concept video and nothing more.
Stingy is an exaggeration. They just released a gameplay demo at E3. It hasn't been 'that' long.

That's generally a sign that the game isn't ready to be shown. It's clearly not in playable demo form.
They just gave us a meaty trailer 2 months ago.
I'm expecting a trailer at PSX and E3 2016. Anything more is overkill.
I dunno, he said they were "targeting" a 2016 release. I want to believe it, because I want this game sooner rather than later, but given the wording, and how this generation has gone across all developers with delays, a 2017 release still isn't out of the question. Hopefully it's still 2016, but a delay wouldn't surprise me
Someone could have misspoken, he could have misheard, lots of things. Since someone from GG outright said that they were still targeting 2016, I imagine they still are. They would have just dodged or ignored that question if it had slipped at this point.
