God's had his chance.

Seriously.
Don't see why you would?
This actually works out with me, as I likely wouldn't have been able to pay for my SE next month, lol.. Still sucks. At least it will be - IF IT DOESN'T GET ANOTHER DELAY - a wonderful Christmas-time game. Something to relax with.

As long as I get it in 2016, I'll be fine.

which exclusive PS4 game hasn't been hit with a delay after the launch? seems like this happens all the time now.

Gravity Rush 2 is dead regardless of when it comes out, sadly.

It seems like everytime Sony puts out a release date for their AAA games they always get delayed. Now notice how Sony isn't doing that anymore but instead with "In development."

Shadowfall, mlbt
Would be a nice lost to see what has been delayed and each dealers date it has had
Guardian
Gt
Horizon
Uc4
There have been more but not sure which or how many
Which exclusive PS4 game looked like it was shipped half-baked but had an enormous amount of potential if only it had another couple of months? Listening to the Giant Bombcast crew's assessment of ReCore makes it abundantly obvious why hitting dates for the sake of hitting dates isn't a good idea.
Sure, if it's obvious a title isn't going to improve significantly even given extra time eventually you have to cut the cord and let it go. The Order, anyone? On the other hand, if it looks like you've got something special that just needs more time then it's much better to delay the release and give it the time it needs.

they had 9 years to nail this release date and its mind boggling that they weren't able to do it.

At this point I actually wonder how many people anticipating The Last Guardian actually were old enough to play the PS2 for any great amount of time and experience the two former games. I mean, I know this website skews a bit older and it seems like the only thing this game is known for now is its delays rather than the former two games.

Lol.
Fine with this, busy season anyways.
Hopefully it's for a stellar PS4 Pro patch.

It's only mind boggling if you've never worked on a major software project, if you believe one team has worked steadily on it the whole time, and if you don't consider the late addition of Pro mode a factor.
. Now notice how Sony isn't doing that anymore but instead with "In development."
Christ. maybe sony should skip E3 next year or maybe show 0 new games there until 2018.
maybe when it's 2018 they will have the decency to announce new games that are actually releasing not so far from announcement.
really getting sick of those way too early announcements.

Or maybe you'll adjust your expectations to what E3 is.

I wouldn't mind that. Call me crazy but I'm convinced this year is cursed.

I just hope it gets a meaty ps4 pro upgrade for 1080p gamers.
I can find arguments either way. If it was obvious at this point that the game was never going to be significantly better I suspect they'd just stick with the announced release date. Delaying it says that those in charge of the purse strings think it's worth putting in the extra time and effort. Unfortunately it's also true that it could simply be a technical train wreck and completely unshippable at this point. I hope not.
It did... Or do you mean again?
please calm down. I really don't see any problem with that, just play other games instead.
...It's getting released in November, right?

Screw that. I hope Sony keeps doing what they're doing.

Agree, they should stop announcing games years before release just to "blow E3" or whatever else reason. Sony should concentrate on games that releasing soon, creating hype way too early is a double-edged sword, they could get big sales but final game simply could not live up to the hype.

Who keeps bumping these old-ass threads? Isn't there a rule or some-
Oh. Crap.
Oh. Crap.
Actually many publishers do the same these days – EA (Star Wars game, Mass Effect Andromeda), Ubisoft (For Honor, Division), and even Nintendo (Zelda and Xenoblade for Wii U also were announced "too early").
Edit: Indie developers also have the same issue it seems. For example, The Witness - announced in 2013, released in 2016.

the problem today is that there is no law against companies who breach the phycological contract with the consumers
so they can promise you with lies and get your money early (pre-orders; buying consoles in anticipation of certain games etc)

They didn't know about this release date 9 years ago, or even 1 year ago.

I didn't say that Sony is the only one who doing this. And it's still doesn't mean that this is a good thing. For example, early announcement of Mirrors Edge 2 didn't helped game to become a massive hit, and and who knows how ME:A will turn out.
