I think it'll be Q1 2018. Sony seems to like that period for 1st party stuff while letting 3rd parties have the Fall to themselves.

More like none of the big stuff that Sony is confident has the ability to hold their own in the fall has managed to hit their intended release date... >_>
I mean, it's not like GT or Horizon was initially announced for late 2016 with the the intention of slipping. Just couldn't be where it needed to be in time.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Horizon releases Q1 though, they would surely need one big title in at least each quarter. Or a big summer title at the very least.
edit: not saying this game *has* to release 2017, just that they'd need at least one more big exclusive title besides Horizon this year. It's not Knack 2 before anyone asks -_-
havent most GOW's launched in March as well? seems likely.

Smoke and mirrors.
And when this was announced?
Btw it's clear that after Horizon the next big Sony titles will be God of War, Detroit, Spiderman and GT Sport. I think all of them are scheduled to be released before spring 2018.

I hope so too. They got the mo-cap done, the game is playable from start to finish. I assume that means they've programmed in the cut-scenes too (?). They have a full year to polish, QA, bug test, optimize and add in the cut-scenes if they haven't done it already.
I'm not a developer so I don't know what else goes in there but I really really REALLY hope this game comes out in 2017.

I swear I heard from GAF that this could never be a 2017 release
But hey, take your time Santa Monica. Add new content, polish this up to a dream and release this in March 2018.
It could be that the game is now playable from start to finish but that most of the assets, animations, technical stuff are still placeholders or in development. Playable doesn't always mean it's close to complete.
I would still guess a Q1 2018 release date, it's probably given time to polish as best as it can

Could make 2017 but Sony could and probably should purposely delay it to Q1, 2018.

Q1 2018 would be good.

If it's playable from start to finish, then they have probably 4-6 months of development time left. I could easily see a May or June release date.
even if it is ready i honestly think sony will push it to q1 2018 and give it more polish.
there is absolutely no need to go against rdr2, destiny 2, battlefront 2, next cod etc....
the only game that might release in the fall is spiderman because that has the capacity to attract a new audience (mass appeal, kid friendly, movie release hype etc...)

Sorry, I meant big Holiday 2017 game. Horizon is out in February.
I'm quite excited for Horizon, and don't really care about GoW.

DMC5 - Feb 2018
GoW - March 2018

That could be GT Sport.

Don't worry dmc5 doesn't have to compete with gow since it doesn't exist

God of War will have to wait
That would still too close for comfort imo. I could see a lot of people holding off on DMC5 for GoW(4). Even if GoW(4) is an ARPG now, historically they have been very similar and attracted similar audiences.

It'd be great if it could launch Holiday 2017 but expecting Q1 2018.
not to me. Expected it to be. Change in camera, more last of us esque (which not everyone likes) and the combat didn't look all that great. Animations looked choppy and slow compared to the smooth and fast gameplay of past entries. Reception was bound to be mixed.
I don't mind the change in direction/tone for the story) world/narrative, but not gonna lie, had concerns about combat as well from that showing, but it's SSM so I trust it's just a matter of getting different weapons/them refining the systems.
Maybe I dreamed, but I swear I have read a thread in which the developers said there wont be a sex scene in this one.

I'm expecting first half of 2018 for GoW. That's when Sony has been putting out their big games for a while now.
