These games didn’t get delayed.

Sony did their usual of lying about release plans to sell consoles.

They did the same last gen. Bunch of games were supposed to release year one and got pushed way back.


Let’s see if you stans give them that same delay energy y’all gave Microsoft for halo :mjpls:

Oh calm down, Stuttering Stanley. The bulk of these games are still making year 1 for sure. And we'd possibly keep the same energy if our games looked as horrendous as Halo Craig did...but they don't.

This is just Sony stan narratives breh.

These are million dollar decisions, they aren’t changing plans due to a Craig meme.

Beyond that the visuals are what they are, they will be cleaned up a bit, but the game is what it is. Wont be some transformational change to the visuals.

They delayed cause the game was not ready.


Game went from being a flagship launch title (they even had it featured on the console box) to an end of the year 2021 title. I wouldn’t even be surprised if it ends up in 2022. Thats not a minor flub, thats because of the backlash

Also, to some degree, I can see select games delays off-setting some others as well, due to them not wanting to potentially cannibalize their own games. Disney has been doing the same with its Marvel movies lately.

The year long delay is marketing. Microsoft doesn’t release games outside the holiday season.

Once the decision was made to delay it, there was no point in trying to rush it out early in the year.

The game is content complete right now. They are just using the time to upgrade things the best they can.

Yeah thats why everything is supposedly getting pushed back. It’s not just 1st party games of their own they have to be aware of it’s 3rd party also. For instance you don’t wanna drop the same week as monster hunter or resident evil

Yeah, exactly. You don't want over-saturation or too much competition all at the same time.
