If Neil is saying its "out of their hands" reading between the lines it looks like a SWWS decision. It sucks

Can’t help but wonder what’s next. I have to imagine a ton of delays are inbound (completely understandable).
I know they say consoles won’t be affected but I’m not convinced

Don't worry I won't live stream it, I don't even have a webcam.
Oh yeah, people do that shit on their phones now don't they. Hmm, oh well I won't do that either.

Already knew this so im not surprised. I am surprised that Ghost of Tsushima wasn't included with TLOUP2 and Iron Man VR as im expecting that to be delayed to the Fall. On the positive side, if it means TLOUP2 (and Tsushima when it gets delayed) are going to be cross-gen and I can play them on PS5 instead of PS4 at launch, im all for it.

Yeah, cause those more than 10 million people who downloaded digital only Warzone with it's 100 gig are surely clueless and can't handle games this big being digital.

Watching the daily covid-19 press conference I’d love someone to ask about TLOU2 being delayed.

I couldnt care less about Call of Duty, but Wasn't that a free pack? I mean you are comparing a free downloable pack for a multiplatform game with a first party game which will have to be released from the Sony servers the same day by 15 million people approximately.
Ok, you are clueless indeed

Coming off the back of RE 2 Remaster with a 91 - 80 is middling. Also, even though the reviews are positive the only thing people seem to be talking about is the (short) length of the campaign.

Delaying games will put your fanbase in a bad mood.

There is zero point in even buying this for the PS4. Just waiting for the PS5 version.

For us enthusiasts you're right. But they'll still wanna release the game on a platform with a 100+ million install base ha.

That was my question, why not going 100% digital, this is the time for it... I assume that there is some behind the scene deals with retailers or something of that nature.... I was waiting for this game to push me through these times.
Yup, their (MS) games are pretty much irrelevant by now.
Sony has some down years from time to time, then they have a couple years of amazing output. I prefer this over constant releases of good-but-not-so-great games... where the hype of the E3 reveal is the best part of a game (basically this whole gen at xbox).
This is why I pre-ordered FF VII digital after playing the demo.

Wtf while everybody is stuck inside? This is the perfect time to release a video game

How does it make sense? Perhaps the physical sales could suffer due to scarcity but digital would blossom. Everyone is at home stuck and glooed to their TVs. I dont think this has anything to do with the pandemic, reading this I think only a month before release "we are nearly done with development". By now the game should of gone into printing. They are just using the current situation as an excuse that they havent finished the game on time and need more to work on it.

I'm thinking Sony is too afraid of losing disc sales to people in other countries who rely on discs or have shittier internet/bandwidth. They don't want those people pissed and watching a YT longplay video and then saying.... "Nahh.... I don't need to get it anymore".
Although to counter that argument, as you said digital sales should shoot up even more, so profit wise they'd scoop up the full $60.
Personally, I think the corona issue is giving them another reason to delay this game for PS5 launch so it has a key game to promote. Probably will have PS5 bundles with the game included on day one.

how does it help Microsoft? And how does it hurt Sony?
Even anything it’ll be heavy advertised with PS5.
And they can , releases their games on game pass, I’ll be playing my Xbox one games in 4K 120 frames, I’ll be fine with that in these times.

Dw dudes, Predator hunting grounds can still be used in list wars instead. Im expecting "greatness awaits" from that game.

Would be counter productive. Just release the full game when the logistics are sorted out!

I knew this was coming but kept trying to convince myself it wasn't. But this is life, this is real. I am very disappointed and pretty gutted as this was one thing I was looking forward to for so long. Especially looking forward to being able to play this in quarantine. That being said, I get it. They don't want a sloppy launch for the biggest game they have. Totally understand. I just hope the delay isn't too long man. They definitely want to get this game out as soon as possible so as soon as the green light is given, you can bet it's releasing 3 weeks later. I also know expect the game to be extra polished upon release. Some of the footage from last Septemeber did show they have had a lot of work to be done. I think that they will show the next trailer (what the accidentally released screenshots are from) when the new release date is certain. Fingers crossed it's sometime in June. This also makes me wonder about Ghost of Tsushima. I am sure they will cross that bridge when they get it. So lord, please let things get close to normal asap. Leaders need to do their thing. Realistically speaking based on all the information we have now, when do you guys think this game will release? IMO if they're still shooting for ps5 this year, they have to get it out when the time is right. But I don't even know anymore. 2020 is such a travesty. Bless up
edit: those new screenshots look really good but imo there's way way too much chromatic aberration and film grain. To the point where I see tons of analysis. Perhaps it is just a compressed screenshot type of thing ?

Well, on the bright side, this probably means that we’ll be notified of launch right when it’s about to drop.

Zero chance. They’ll announce a date months out so they can launch their marketing. This thing is months and months away and we’ll be told far in advance before it launches (I’m guessing at least 6 weeks, maybe 8).

Sucks for those who could be playing this game during these hard quarantine times. Gaming definitely helps, as does any kind of distraction, and this was a highly anticipated game. The fact that the game is done feels even worse. We are at an age when digital goods can be distributed digitally, hiccups or not. What if retail doesn't recover this year? What if people's purchasing power keeps weakening as more jobs are lost and economy goes into deeper shambles (it will). Many fans will have their lives affected as time goes by (getting sick/losing jobs/losing loved ones/even dying) and won't be able to enjoy it as much anymore, if at all.
Because they don't even announce a new tentative date it really feels like it's being cynically held back to maximize its worth for the company and launch with PS5 (probably cross-gen with PS4). I hope I'm wrong. I'm not against companies maximizing their profits, as that's literally their job, what sucks is the expectation management and change of plans mid-flight and not being totally clear about the reasonings imo.

more like the full 70$. (in europe all dd games cost 70 euros , i think it's the same in usa with 70 dollars right?)

Um Holywood did the same. Black Widow was delayed indefinitely. In what way did they adapt?We need a dislike button for this. "Triggered" isn't appropriate
Also.
Why the FUCK cant they release digitally? Hollywood adapted. With tons of digital releases. Why cant the games industry adapt.

Why not?
Steam could handle it. So could the Epic store or Origin.
I don't care too much for this game, I just think this is a missed opportunity. They want to delay it because they feel physical sales would suffer, and they would, but everyone who wants this game could still get it digitally. And the fact that they are stuck in their homes for nobody knows how long means that a video game is a damn near perfect way to help pass the time and keep people occupied and not freaking out.
Is ordering a physical copy online via amazon not possible?
I hope that developers don't shy away from releasing their games at this time. Embrace this challenge and be rewarded for it.

I'm only guessing, but seeing how PSN has been slowed down and other services like Netflix have also been slowed to accommodate home workers, i think it could be a strain on the network.
It's certainly a missed opportunity that's for sure.
