GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
If it prevents them from releasing a game as Buggy as AO I'm all for it.

Tinfoil Hat On:
Maybe Rocksteady is waiting for X1's DX12 feature to work with to create equalization for the PS4s.
Or,
Transitioning assets to UE4 for more graphix!

All I could find is a YT video with a description that says:
Any links to some official words?

To be honest all of these former 2014 titles seemed overly optimistic at best.
Meh, this year is looking worse and worse.
One of the worst in recent memory for me.
Then again, 2012 surprised me somewhat with Dragon's Dogma, Sleeping Dogs and Hotline Miami, 3 titles i wasn't exactly super hyped for (well, except Sleeping Dogs, maybe) and that delivered in spades, so who knows.
But so far i'm very luke warm to anything coming out.

Hmm, so delay or no delay? :/

Ah, the pre-order/trailer driven approach strikes again. Sure, the game is supposed to come out in 6-7 months, but we gotta make those screenshots and closed demos look extra sharp, right? -_-
Here's the link to the podcast; they start talking about it abour 9 minutes in. Apparently, the fact that it ran like shit and lagged constantly on a high end PC hovered was like an 800-pound gorilla in the room.

Rather they take their time and do it right than try and rush it out. Especially if it's going to be the last of the 'Arkham' series, needs to go out with a bang.

Well, just make it great.
Not as many as there used to be! :/

Why push it back already?
Why not wait and see if they can make the 2014 release?
Doesn't make any sense!

And what if they do that? 1 month before release the figure out they can't reach their goal and just push it back. That's way too late and fans probably won't like that a whole lot.
Better to push it back now.
We're getting some hot stuff this year on PS4/Xbone though. I wouldn't say it's as dry as Wii U's years. Not even close.

Hope this means a move to UE4, it's 2014, there's absolutely no reason to still be using UE3.

They only officially announced it last month, they must have known it was in danger of slipping then. Seems weird that they would give it an official date when they could have said 'late 2014' or something which would have given them some wiggle room.

Based off of my current play of Arkham Origins, delaying this is a more than acceptable call.
Not even the same studio

If they are having performance problems with UE3, there are plenty of good reasons.

Cool, one less thing to eclipse Shadow of Mordor's sales.
Seems like a absolute certain delay. Seems like a good business move to wait for a larger install base on the consoles to maximise revenue but also give time for changes they may have on the way as well as if they are adding more platforms or whatever
or not
apparently some articles claim they were mistaken at wondercon and it's still on for 2014... who knows

I know what ye mean; Aliens: Colonial Marines made me worry about the state of The Last Guardian. Glad it's been delayed till they get it right
Based off of.......?

I don't believe this. The game was only announced, what, a month ago? And they've given it a solid release date, so I find it hard to believe that just a few weeks later they'd decide on a delay.
Because the Batman/Superman movie was delayed to 2016 Warner wanted something to do with Batman to release in 2015. They took their time to choose what to do though.
Maybe in Japan.
This is a delay, not a quiet cancellation.

My bad, just read an article about what was said at wondercon but now read a different article that claims they have no said that was a mistake. I have no idea now

Suicide Squad is probably 2015 at the earliest. Montreal just finished Arkham Origins last year.

Having performance issues with UE3 is an even better reason to switch to UE4 considering UE3's known problems with supporting open world games, it was barely able to support Arkham City and that game's open world was a fraction of the size of Arkham City.
Yeah that's true. I hope we get a trailer this year at least. My excitement for a potential Suicide Squad game exceeds my excitement for Arkham Knight.
