Horizon's E3 trailer will end with a noncommittal "2017" date.
Not surprised Scalebound is delayed though.

Awesome! I don't need to get an Xbone for another year and I get a more polished game. Take you time Platinum.

Yea, I remember they said they were hoping to release in 2016, but no actual release confirmation.

Lol, exactly my thoughts...hmm who's next, Horizon??

I keep assuming that ReCore is 2017.

I think the game looked really bad in the demo they showed. I won't be surprised if they push it all the way to the end of 2017.

Probably for the beSt. .. holiday release dates for titles like these generally seems to be disastrous to this point. They keep getting lost in the fold.

This could have used a SHOCKING NEWS in the thread title.
Recore may be next.

Kinda hard to delay a game that doesn't have a date announced.

Performance looked rough, so it's probably for the better.
This leaves a pretty big hole in the XB1's lineup this year, though. Time for another surprise moneyhat?
Not really. It would be forgotten if launched this holiday. MS has Gears 4, Halo Wars 2, and Sea of Thieves for that period.
Horizon is planned 2016

Guerilla mentioned 2016 numerous times and have even had to double down on it. I believe them, since, they're one of the very few Sony-owned devs who actually met their release date with their first PS4 game.

It's not like MS do it for every game and sccordibg to ntkrnl it was originally due in March 2016. Things get delayed, it happens

Kind off topic, but why do so many people expect Horizon to be delayed?
The game has been in development for over 3 years now, and GG are an efficient developer. So what are all of these so-sure claims based on? Especially when their last game shipped 2 years ago.

Did Scalebound ever have a specific date?

So it begins. Here's hoping it's the only delay this year.
And so it begins. The first domino has fallen.
Even though I don't and probably won't ever have an Xbox I am excited for this game. I hope to borrow one from someone at some point so I check it out. I am sure it will be great when it's done.
Hopefully there won't be many more delayed games this year.

It may not have an official release yet but i'm pretty sure either Sony or Guerilla mentioned 2016.

first of many
It's going to be nice 2016 reveal release surprise or it's totally not coming out until 2017. Betting on the latter.
Hell, Crackdown would be rather surprising to hit a 2016 release with all that server destruction stuff being a first. I could imagine that part getting delayed at least.
Lulziez, like I said in the Simplygames "release date leak" thread earlier today, this was one of the forerunners for a delay to 2017. There was no way that Kamiya was going to deliver an ambitious Xbone game in only a little over 3 years after Wonderful 101, not with how much more time one needs to develop Xbone level content, how super rough & early the Gamescom footage still looked, how big this game will supposedly be, how much Platinum has had on their plate after Wonderful 101 with finishing Bayonetta 2 & developing Korra, Transformers & now a TMNT game and there being an online coop mode that will require extensive testing.
Didn't expect them to delay it this early into the year, though. Lulz.
Mid to late 2017 at earliest.

The game was over a year out, I can't believe people are still complaining about the performance, unfinished game is not finished, hardly a surprise

No offence, but why would you plan to pick up a console to play a game we haven't even seen gameplay for yet?
They've said many times that they're targeting 2016, but I'm sure Sony will be open to delaying it into 2017 to give it all the time it needs.
Isn't that due to release in about 6 weeks? Should be going gold in about a fortnight.

So you've had delays to Starfox, Scalebound and Project Guard. One has to wonder if Platinum Games has bitten off more than they can chew and is a Nier Automata delay next?
Kool kid
...Wait a second, what do we know about Far Cry: Primal right now? I fear it's not that much, honestly. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well I'm not super suprised by this but it still sucks. My most anticipated Xbox game of 2016 is now my most anticipated Xbox game of 2017.

It would probably benefit Scalebound if it was released outside of the holidays, maybe early 2017 when there is less big hitters being released.
Either way, I dont mind. Looking forward to it, but Id rather it be polished than be released with problems.

Because Platinum is busy with Bayonetta 3 NX.

I was going to wait until we saw gameplay for both and release dates
not buying a console before then.

Take that M$!!!
Anyway it sucks, but it's obviously for a better game so do what you gotta go
Good to hear that the delay it for a year. The game looks really rough and it looks like it has major performance issues. Battles doesn't really look that hot either, probably I was expecting a action combo game like Bayonetta. I can imagine the game might probably look quite different in 2017 though.
