I'm getting dizzy.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

It takes time to remove all traces of Kojima from the game.

 

[IvorB]

The Last Guardian vol. II

 

[ViewtifulJC]

OMG Kojima is trolling us again lololol master troll Kojima OMG such a troll I am on #teamnodelay omg lol KOJIMA!!!!

edit: oops wrong account

 

[The Jackdog]

damn i hope not

 

[Chamber]

I hear Spring 2016 is wide open.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

January 10th

WTF?

WTF?

lol

 

[Sn4ke_911]

This might be the difference between the release of the "Day 1 edition" and regular copies, since both listings exist. Nothing to see here I think.

So what you saying is if you don't buy the game on day 1 you have to wait a full month longer to play the game?

dude :lol

 

[Hektor]

January 10th

WTF?

Day.Month.Year in Germany.

 

[synce]

The current release date is kind of weird. A big title like this is usually closer to the holidays so it wouldn't surprise me if they just sat on the game for a few extra months

 

[Graphics Horse]

Replacing all the humans with green blooded robots takes time, ya know.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Day.Month.Year in Germany.

;P

WTF?

Oktober

No. Day 1 edition copies will probably be available for a long time, but every copy shipped after October 1st won't have the included extras.

come on

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Also a delay from september 1st to october 1st seems really weird to me.

 

[NotLiquid]

No time for work during the theatrical run

Kojima confirmed quitting Konami because releasing same date as the Mad Max video game was too personal for him

 

[SJRB]

If this is true I'm fucking melting down.

No way. NO WAY.

 

[SgtCobra]

Day.Month.Year in Germany.

The superior format.

OMG Kojima is trolling us again lololol master troll Kojima OMG such a troll I am on #teamnodelay omg lol KOJIMA!!!!

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Nooooo. Kojima pls

 

[ZiggyST]

Probably re-adding David Hayter as the VA

please be true...

 

[Nibel]

Dunno what to make out of this

First that person referred to the website, but then assured me it'd come October; doesn't seem to be a mistake on their end, and tbh Amazon.de doesn't make mistakes like that

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Fixed. ):

You're right. All references to PT and Kojima will just be changed to La Li Lu Le Lo.

 

[Toa TAK]

please be true...

Dear LORD no.

 

[LowParry]

Pre order cancelled

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Gives Kojima more time to play Mad Max

 

[Imbarkus]

Need time to remove all Kojima and PT references.

Need an extra month to scrub Kojima's name hidden throughout the game.

Gettin' older, Lik

I think the CSR is just going by what's on the site.

Gettin' older, Lik

Still superior to Mad Max reasons

 

[Ryan_MSF]

this better be a joke

 

[Houndi101]

Gives Kojima more time to play Mad Max

And Konami to add microtransactions, mobile-support and DLC on the disc

 

[YianGaruga]

I wouldn't trust amazon chat support when it comes to release dates. He said he'll just look on the website. I think my theory still works

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Well, congratulations Mad Max, you got yourself a buyer.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

No. Day 1 edition copies will probably be available for a long time, but every copy shipped after October 1st won't have the included extras.

come on

This makes no sense. There is a reason why it says "Day 1 edition". Those editions won't be available for a long time.

 

[YianGaruga]

This makes no sense. There is a reason why it says "Day 1 edition". Those editions won't be available for a long time.

"Day 1 edition" is marketing fluff. You're ignoring that there are copies still on amazon that release on Sep 1st. They didn't just change the date of those. What makes the Oct 1 copies so much more believable?

 

[Grisby]

Preorder moved.

Spoiler

I'm fine.

I'm fine. Yeah.

 

[Blablurn]

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Silly americans.

 

[Kane1345]

omg pls no

That customer support sounds rather clueless, though.

WTF?

If that was the format it would mean the game launched 4 months ago!

If the delay is only a month I don't see the big deal though, it's not like there's a shortage of games this year.

 

[YianGaruga]

If that was the format it would mean the game launched 4 months ago!

Maybe it did?

 

[VR_RaidenXOF]

It's not delayed folks, move along.

 

[damien1928]

Pls no I already took the day off work

 

[OléGunner]

Don't do this to me Kojima.

This is my birthday month game

Ehh probably a mistake by Amazon truthfully.

 

[Ryan_MSF]

Pls no I already took the day off work

I took a week, this would beyond piss me off haha.

 

[Original Man]

It's still coming out Sept 1st. US Amazon says Sept 1st and that's the only Amazon that matters

 

[Rosur]

Getting out of the way of the GOTG Mad Max.

Yep this will be good for Mad Max. Hopefully this is not just because of all the issue between Konami and Kojima are having and actually just extra time for the game (and thinking it will sell better in October).

 

[Steverulez]

I wish this rumour had come out a few days ago, might have ordered Mad Max reasonably cheap

 

[Sn4ke_911]

How do people find the normal edition on Amazon Germany?

When i search for "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" the only edition i can find is the Day 1 and that still says september 1st.

[Doffen]

Needed one extra month as they are transforming it into a mobile F2P Facebook puzzle game with Twitter integration.

All hail King!
