If Neil is saying its "out of their hands" reading between the lines it looks like a SWWS decision. It sucks
Microsoft are master minds. Don't have to worry about delaying games if you don't have any on the way.
Seriously bro. Can you not? This broke my heart. I know people joke a lot, but in this day in age people say shit like this and then live stream it.
People talking about how "they should have released just digital" are clueless.
No no you're clueless. Let the excuses continue for nowYeah, 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.
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
Watching the daily covid-19 press conference I’d love someone to ask about TLOU2 being delayed.
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.
Since when is an 80 metacritic considered "middling"?
Meh, this delay isnt a big deal for me. More important things to be concerned about right now. If anything I'll probably still be busy with Snowrunner.
There is zero point in even buying this for the PS4. Just waiting for the PS5 version.
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.Why dont just released it digitaly?
Yup, their (MS) games are pretty much irrelevant by now.This is in NO way a console war event. Microsoft are not going to catch up until they release games. That is the only way this happens. Sony could not release another game for a year and if Microsoft do not put out better 1st party exclusives they've not caught up to Sony.
This is why I pre-ordered FF VII digital after playing the demo.I don't think the divide would be as big as you think in the current circumstances. People should be staying at home and limiting deliveries to reduce risk of exposure. Buying games digital is the right thing to do at the moment.
Makes sense not to release in the middle of a global pandemic.
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".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.
It's horrible to make note of it, but this delay hurts Sony more than Microsoft. It allows XBox 1st party to catch up.
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.Yep. I can gaurantee almost every game is going to face a delay of some sort. I have serious doubts about Halo: Infinite making XSX launch, Spencer's hour long interview with IGN that was released yesterday basically alluded to the fact that software delays are more likely than hardware delays for the XSX and that even if some of the planned software wasn't ready yet, they'd still launch the console.
To me, that was his way of saying "Even if Halo isn't ready, the console will still launch". Regardless it's a great interview and well worth watching.
They better at least release a fucking demo.
More time to ready the Last of Us: Remastered port for PC on Steam
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).Well, on the bright side, this probably means that we’ll be notified of launch right when it’s about to drop.
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?)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.
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.
It's a shame, but i understand why. Lot of people home working as such, also releasing this digitally on paper sounds a good idea. But, the infrastructure as it is today couldn't handle 100gb+ downloads coming in on the thousands..
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.
