The "delay a game" challenge that we aren't aware of is truly a success. Not that disappointed, but just a bit.
Tom Nook is pleased.
All these delays...I wonder what else might get delayed.
As miyamoto once said....
A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushedgame is forever bad.
Although not all games are eventually good... I think the premise of the comment is spot on. With cd project reds reputation.... the game will be good.
Insert sad Keanu meme
Well, at least this gives me more time to upgrade my components.
Just announce the PS5 and XSX version already.
A 5 month delay is a huge one. They obviously have a lot of problems and bugs to sort out. I hope the final game is good. Cross fingers.
Called it.
That's a good decision for multiple reasons.
Don't know these devs bother announcing a release date to begin with. A stupid idea just to get peoples hopes up. Why not just announce a game 3 months prior to release date. You don't need months and years to get peoples attention in this social media era.
I think the delay is more caused by other releases (FF VII R, TLOU2, Ghost of Tsushima etc.) than the actual finishing status of the game.
Your thinking is wrong.
A delay of a few weeks or even a month or two, Ok. But they are not going to sit on a finished game and postpone its release just because other games are coming out.
This is 5 months we’re talking about. No way in hell this is because of other titles. :-D
They fear Final Fantasy VII Remake, the best game ever. Period...
