Checking, the con happened 18th to the 20th of this month, and the DC panel happened on the Friday 18th. The Gameranx article is dated the 20th. Yeah, the articles in the OP are definitely bollocks if the supposed info turned up a couple of days later.

Weird In multiple respects. They announced a release date just recently and that no one bothered to report it (if it was actually announced at wondercon)
There are plenty of good 2015 games, too. Civilization: Beyond Earth, Galactic Civilizations 3, Hearts of Iron 4, The Witcher 3, Star Citizen, Cyberpunk 2077, Torment: Tides of Numenera. And now I'm supposed to find time for A:K that year?
If Alien: Isolation doesn't make this year I'll probably have to kill myself or something.
^Woah woah... I know Cyberpunk was originally planned for 2015, but in light of the Witcher 3 delay into 2015 and seemingly longer production cycles surely we can't expect this next year? ...Can we?

I would actually be a little relieved if it was delayed into next year. I want this to be the definitive Batman game. No corners cut.

By the time it's released, the game will have been in development for about three years. If a game can be considered rushed in that amount of time, then The Last Guardian is right on schedule.
yeah, GTA:O definitely blew me away

Yeah, I really doubt Cyberpunk makes 2015. Seems like that game has just vanished now that Witcher 3 is so far along (not that we've really seen much of it either).
Only a teaser but that was enough for it to be pushed to the top of my most wanted list.
On topic: I know press have been shown snippets but we've got nothing substantial 'gameplay footage' wise on Batman yet do we?

Yeah I listened to that podcast. They also got the impression that it wouldn't be a problem though.

Yeah, obviously shitty frames and crashes are a common thing in previews. I'm sure whether it's pushed or not it will be way better on release. 5-6 months is a long time to iron that shit out. Just saying that it also wouldn't be shocking to hear of a delay given the state it was apparently in when previewed.

I think it was mentioned that the preview build was old too.

Yeah, I agree. I mean, I wouldn't want the game to be delayed but after the podcast I certainly wasn't surprised by the news.
Cunningham could have had the wrong info you know
But yeah, this is the big 75th anniversary push. They want this in 2014.

Vaguely, I recall a post saying CP wouldn't suffer any delays because of TW3. They've got completely separate teams.
Worth mentioning that article was edited because that's where I originally read AK being pushed back to 2015.
This is what leads me to believe this rumor is not correct.

Cunningham's quote is what we're arguing over. Other sites claim he said it was pushed back to 2015.

This would be a huge blow to the fall lineup of both new consoles if true

Have they ever flat out publicly stated CP would be 2015? I remember them saying their next two big game would be 2014 and 2015, but I can't remember if they ever blatantly said CP for 2015 (though that was obviously the original plan given W3 was the 2014 game they spoke of).

Ah, I didn't know... I read that article today for the first time.
So probably the rumor of the delay has been debunked....

If this is true, and unless Evil Within is significantly better on PS4 than on last gen formats, then I think I'll do the same.

fine with me, we still got the order 1886, alien isolation, dragon age inqusition, destiny, evil within and many more.
Lol video game sales are gonna be awful this holiday season.
I hope everyone is ready for all the doom and gloom tablets are killing consoles nonsense.
First half of 2015 should be good though.
Next gen games are starting to be like the dragons from game of thrones
They are coming im super cereal
All of which are on last gen besides the order

People say this every year. 2014 was supposed to be too full of games.
"OMG my wallet can't handle this awesomness!"

I think Cyberpunk 2077 will surely delay to at least Fall 2015, if not somewhere in 2016, due to The Witcher 3's delay.
And you forgot Zelda U
unless you're not big on Nintendo.(still hoping for a Fall 2014 release but that seems highly unlikely)

I love Pokken!
I dont expect Cyberpunk at the very least until 2017
That depends on how many teams they've got at the moment. I think it's pretty doable to let the half of the Witcher 3 crew work on Cyberpunk, while the other half gives it a polished finishing touch. But yes, I expect it to be Fall 2016.

The fall is when your not so average gamer lines up for the next shooter. They bring their friends, kids start cursing online, and game stores across the nation start selling season passes.
I'd say we're better off with the games that are coming out. I wish things would change. This FPS fad makes it worse. Batman will do well if they do it right, so the wait will be worth it.
Fads add stereotypes and opinions not needed for the industry to succeed.
Could you imagine a CoD getting delayed? Life as we know it would be in a paradox.
From a buddy that was at the panel. Seems like these sites are trying to twist the truth for some clickbait.
So they said Injustice will return in 2015. Not that Arkham will be delayed to 2015.
Well, Netherrelam is doing MK10 next, so unless they have two teams now, it might be a bit later than 2015 for that.
