Garrrr.... :C

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Time for those denying the insider to eat crow.

He was quite right with the dev difficulties of Witcher 3. Heck people were even refusing to acknowledge the downgrade.

The news is sad to hear but if the final game receives more polish, all's well.

 

[sflufan]

Take your time, CDPR. There is no need to rush at all!

 

[OverturePT]

You're killing me, MAAAN!

 

[exmachina64]

Whoa!

 

[Notorious_Roy]

Thank you! I don't have the time in February. May is better.

Also, more polish is better than a rushed product.

 

[BadWolf]

Better delayed than broken.

The Order catching a break.

 

[Tempesta di Fuoco]

Drinks. More time to get through Dragon Age Inquisition.

Going from Dragon Age 3 to a Witcher game. I do not think I'd be able to handle going from one atrocious battle system to another.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Maybe they intend to delay it a little bit at a time

*come March*

"The Witcher 3 has been delayed to October 17, 2015"

 

[bbd23]

FUCKING NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Red Comet]

Good. I respect CDPR for being willing to wait until their game is actually finished to launch it.

 

[Dabanton]

So Witcher 3 will still be released close to Arkham Knight? FFS. Isn't that out early June?

I simply don't have time for two huge games so close together. I imagine I'm not the only one.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Aw fuck

 

[Tadale]

That's a pretty lengthy delay. January and February are looking a lot less exciting without Bloodborne and The Witcher.

 

[Kriken]

Delayed... again?!?

*Screams internally*

 

[GCX]

Wow, I think this is pathetic.

What's so pathetic about it if I may ask?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

cyberpunk 2077 coming Neveruary 32nd, 2019

Where did this insider post on? Very curious.

 

[dc89]

Ah well. Not that fussed, I want to play the best possible game.

 

[Percy]

Looks like the release date got the biggest downgrade of all.

Guess that'll leave more time for Bloodborne if nothing else

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

And February once again gets a little less crowded.

This. Just means more attention for The Order, Evolve, and Kirby.

And nothing was releasing in May anyway, so The Witcher gets that month all to itself.

 

[Acquiescence]

The Order just breathed a huge sigh of relief.

 

[Rosur]

And February once again gets a little less crowded.

Why I'm glad about this move.

Feb's got The Order 1886, March is Bloodborne + FF Type 0 and the May for Witcher 3. Nothing in April atm (though probably something will show up).

 

[Jsheldon]

Totally sucks but the game needs more polish. Good on them for recognizing now rather than jan/feb

 

[The End]

Not surprising at all. With DA:I executing so well right off the bat it made zero sense to launch in february if they weren't completely satisfied with the state the game was in.

 

[AntiFacebook]

At least it will give me more time to play pillars of eternity.

Spoiler

Which will soon be delayed as well

 

[Nirolak]

*come March*

"The Witcher 3 has been delayed to October 17, 2015"

It might make sense to do it that way if they're getting additional funding out of their regional publishers by showing them newer builds, so they have to get less extra money each time, and have a better product to show each time to help grease the wheels.

 

[lumzi23]

Better to delay than to Ubisoft it.

 

[Orthogonal]

Delays suck, but I am glad they won't release a turd. Best keep it in the oven till done.

Besides, I wouldn't have time for it with The Order and Bloodborne out around that time.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Wow, I think this is pathetic.

Yea! Push it out the door completely broken like so many other developers have recently!

 

[Various Artists]

Well I can hold off on upgrading my PC then.

 

[MayMay]

aww

 

[massoluk]

Wow, if that crunch rumor was true, I feel so bad for the team working on it, even MORE months of crunching.

 

[ironcreed]

This works for me. More time for The Order.

 

[giga-ganon]

i was planning to get a new pc based on what's necessary to run it at 60 fps in ultra.... So do i delay my new PC for it do i still get it in february? tough choice, haha

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

So Witcher 3 will still be released close to Arkham Knight? FFS. Isn't that out early June?

I simply don't have time for two huge games so close together. I imagine I'm not the only one.

It's summer. Nothing substantial will come out until late August or early September. You have plenty of time.

 

[RoboPlato]

For some reason I thought May sounded like a better date for this than February.

 

[kenji]

Poor Type-0
Edit oh, for some reason I read it Match

Damn :/

 

[keit4]

WTF

Oh well, i guess it's for the best.

 

[Cozmogramma]

I don't mind. They get to work on it more and I have more time to finish the first two games.

 

[Begaria]

That sucks but February was getting kind of packed anyway I suppose. Still, I hope this is the only delay.

It really isn't packed anymore. WiiU gets a Kirby game, PS4 gets The Order 1886, there's Evolve, DOA5, and RE: Revelations 2 for multiplatform now. With Bloodborne in March and Witcher 3 in May, February looks pretty manageable all around.

 

[Caronte]

Good news for The Order.

 

[Kintaro]

Hell, may as well delay it until the Fall. I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

 

[Mumford]

Looks like it's time to buy Dragon Age then. Sigh.

 

[ced]

Fuck, after it's other delays I thought it was solid at Feb.

I'm pretty cool with early delays, but I think publishers need to quit doing these BS release dates that I'm sure developers know they are not going to hit.

 

[Krauser Kat]

I am all for more polish.

 

[molnizzle]

5 days before Bloodborne?

What the fuck CDPR!?

Delay that shit another month or something. Christ.

Looks like it's time to buy Dragon Age then. Sigh.

That game deserves to be bought anyway.

 

[Death Metalist]

.

 

[Xando]

So that dude who claimed in a Witcher 3 GAF thread that the game is in trouble was right, huh

That they have trouble was known since gamescom.

 

[Dabanton]

The Order just breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Not if it's reviews don't hold up.
