Not really a big deal at all honestly. It’s Naughty Dog, they’re amazing. It’s nice to see a developer taking the extra time if need be rather than compromising things. Have some patience. You know it’s gonna be worth it.

The Last of Us Part II Comes to PS4 in May

May 29, 2020.

Just in time for my birthday.

 

[Gee]

It should never be a disappointment when a game is delayed to be polished/tweaked.

Though, announcing a delay one month after its release date reveal is a bummer.

 

[psylockolussus]

Oh dear. I'm not in a rush to buy this as I will wait for a price cut but still.

 

[X Knight]

I'm actually more disappointed that Ghost of Tsuhima (or however you spell it) may have been pushed further back into 2020 because of Last of Us delay.

though, really, the 2 big games for me next year will still be FFVII Remake and Persona 5 Royal. With FFVII coming out in March, and a good chance that P5R may come out in April/May, I actually don't mind delays to other games.

 

[Luigi]

Don't mind the delay at all. I've seen what happens when incomplete games are rushed out the door.

It's a big deal. They just announced the date. They didn't need to announce t the date if they weren't positive.

Honestly I think they just delayed it because they wanted a release date during blockbuster season. They announce the February release, and have 4 months to finish the game. And immediately after the announcement they decide they need 3 more months to complete the game? Nah, Naughty Dog and Sony saw the hype and decided they wanted more time to market the game and cash in on the summer season.

You honestly think they weren't expecting that hype?

I think they were expecting hype, but I think it exceeded the executives and/or shareholders expectations.

Spoiler: The Art of the Last of Us Part II covers

Deluxe Edition:

 

[Marvolo]

That's is a surprisingly thick art book. The page count must be around 400 pages.

It's sad to hear Naughty Dog devs are also victims of crunch periods, but I'm glad stories are emerging as the spotlight should pressure higher ups to consider other strategies.

[Man in the Suit]

Figured this would happen...

[Gothamsknight]

Really hope this isnt pushed to September. Cyberpunk 2077 drops that month!

Not surprising. I think this happened during their Crash and Uncharted development cycles too.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Like with Wonder Woman this wouldn't have been an issue if they released them on their original release dates...

On the plus side, it sounds like the game itself is basically done. The issue is probably manufacturing, which I hope means the delay isn't too long. Maybe even a month? A boy can hope. Ghost is totally next as well. ****...

Mother**** you virus.

Well, sure, but... the game wasn't finished.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I question that. Especially as they made this change right after announcing the release date, and it just so happened to give them the summer released window they had become accustomed to.
