Stuff like this is why we are not going to see new consoles until 2020, Folks who think next gen starts in 2018 are crazy.

Xbone purchase delayed to 2017.
Fuck, this was the game man. Hopefully they have something else planned that they haven't shown yet because the current offering is not persuading me to get one.

Oh well, one of my most anticipated games of 2016.
What a sad day.
What a sad day.
Microsoft deliberately & desperately announced a lot of games at E3 2014 that were super early into development (if even in actual development) and were likely to see delays in production. Now we have Phantom Dust that is probably dead & buried, Scalebound that has already been delayed to the next year this early in 2016, Quantum Break that people are still waiting for, Crackdown which we've hardly seen anything for etc. They were desperate to give people some reason to buy an Xbone, yet almost none of those will have been released within two years of their announcement and I wouldn't be surprised of more delays.
seriously! why in the blue hell software houses aren't better at manage their schedules or announcements?
What kinda cardio are you doing?
10th Anniversary Card is already obsolete.
Unless Scalebound comes out before February 2nd 2017
GAF cardio.

Yep. And probably Dishonored 2 after that.
How many shitty CG trailers did they have at last E3, two?
and they don't do it for every game. they barely did it this past E3. you're overly upset.
Not necessarily. They could've delayed it from November 2016 to March 2017 for all we know
Also I doubt it will look much different as others have been saying. They may rework drew or add player creation but I don't see the core changing. Also they showed it at one of the Xbox Asia fan events and the frame rate looked a lot smoother

They said it was coming spring 2016. And no, we have not even seen a snippet of gameplay. That is why I feel a delay is coming for Recore too.

I believe they originally said it was Spring 2016, so everyone naturally assumed gameplay footage and details would follow. Clearly that was completely unrealistic as they haven't even shown anything of this game yet. I'm guessing late 2016, maybe August onwards.
Yes, I agree. I think Sea of Thieves will most likely launch like Fable Legends and have a protracted beta period, while Crackdown will probably have its MP bundled in with Gears or something similar (Quantum Break, maybe?).

There is 0% chance that Quantum Break is pushed to 2017. Its release date is April 4th. You really think they'll push it 8 months this close to launch? Come on.

A delayed game is eventually good!!!
Literally hundreds of games to play before then.
My wallet has a motorized device inside it that makes it open and close on its own when laid on a flat surface, mimicking repeated prostration or kowtow, as if it is prostrating itself before you, praising you with gratitude, Platinum and Kamiya-senpai-desu.
WE should be happy for this DELAY.
Q4 was going to be crowded as a mother.
My backlog thanks you too, Platinum and Kamiya-senpai-desu!
This will give me more time to finish up Zelda U, which will certainly not be delayed again, and perhaps purchase an Xbox One gaming system by then.
Take all the time you need to make it good, Platinum.
Also gives me time to beat previous Kamiya-made games that I haven't ever touched since I don't truly need new games ever ^3^
A bad game is bad forever.

QB is coming, Recore we have no idea how far they are and they gave a more tentative date than scalebound. Sea of thieves will probably get some kind of multiplayer beta this year, and they already said crackdown would have a beta this summer and they didn't say it would be releasing in 2016
I can see them having for 2016
Quantum break
Fable legends
Gigantic
Recore
Forza horizon 3
Gears 4
With betas for sea of thieves and crackdown
Also I have no idea about Halo wars 2
Not surprised given how early Scalebound was announced. They were 7-8 months into production at the most at that point.
The first half of 2017 is also a much better release date for the game than late 2016 (where even a great game from a known IP in Tomb Raider got buried in 2015).

I know it's a team of its own, but it's still a Platinum game and Platinum is a relatively small developer (very efficient, though). If they have had several other teams & a big portion of the company working on games like Bayonetta 2, Korra, Transformers, TMNT & Nier 2 after W101's release, in addition to Scalebound, that doesn't necessarily leave a whole lot of (core) people to work on Scalebound, so unless Microsoft sacrifices either quality or scope of the game, I don't see this being released in ~12-15 months.

Quantum Break is out in a couple of months.
I think Gears 4 will make it and I am slightly concerned that Crackdown will get a rush job to get it out this year.
Sea of Thieves and ReCore will end up releasing in 2017.

If they really desperate to give people some reason to buy an Xbone, they should just not delay and release a half-done game, because most people won't buy the console first and wait the only game he want to play release.
Let's be real though, no way are all of Sony's titles slated for 2016 are actually coming out 2016.

Looking at that potential lineup, Xbox One isn't too bad for 2016. Though I think Recore will definitely be delayed to 2017 but I think Halo Wars 2 is definite fall 2016.

Horizon, TLG, Rime, Cuphead, Recore, Mass Effect what else will be delayed to 2017?

Next will be Persona 5

FFXV is already done, basically. They are just polishing and making some minor additions/adjustments to the game anymore. That can take a long while with a massive RPG like FFXV, but it's not going to take 12+ more months considering they've already said they have polished 50% of the game to completion.
Quantum Break is definitely releasing this year. Gears 4 will probably make it, too. Crackdown may make it; if they get the beta out this summer like planned, i wouldn't be surprised. who knows about ReCore or SoT, though. To be fair, those were announced last year.

Of course QB will make 2016, I can see it getting a short delay, but over 8 months delay no way. I think we could see Gears 4 at the end of this year.
Crackdown has a confirmed a multi-player beta this year, full release likely 2017 though.

If TLG gets another delay all hell will break loose.

Nah. There is no indication that Horizon will be delayed.
Uncharted 4, Gravity Rush 2, Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, Ni No Kuni 2, Ace Combat 7, Nier 2, SF V, GT sport, Detroit. Persona 5, dreams, The last Guardian, Ni-Oh. Even if 4-5 were delayed Sony would still have better line-up than MS.

Look around, "desperate" microsoft aren't the only ones who announced games that got delayed.
Sure they announced a few games with some cgi trailers, it happens as do delays but they aren't the only ones that have/do do it.
Good guy ms gives teams the time they need to get the game done righf
