Bad PR when the first month of press coverage is overwhelmingly negative regarding the (presumably) poor performance on current Gen consoles.
sry for the confusion, it is duke nukem forever.
if should not know it, it was a running gag back then because it was supposed to come out during fall 1997 and eventually was released 2011. it was delayed numerous times to the point that they simply said: it is done when it is done. meaning, we dont know when we will release this game.
in the 90s this game was state-of-the-art and everyone's jaw dropped everytime when 3d realms released pics or videos about the footage.
in the end, the company went backrupt and the game was finished by gearbox. it was just another shooter.
I thought you were referring to the above posts of the account saying no more delays not referencing the gold announcement. My apologies.
What other games have gone gold and then delayed? For the vast majority gone gold means what it always has.
I was so sure that this was coming out Fall 2019; that when the initial release date was announced at E3 2019 in June to be April 16th, 2020 - that felt like the first delay.
To me it sounds like the version that "went gold" still had severe performance issues and/or bugs. Why else suffer another, at this point rather embarrassing, delay?
It means that they were relying on a gigantic Day 1 patch and in the end couldn't deliver. The "gold" version is probably extremely buggy. Console versions in particular probably run horribly (I think we haven't even seen footage).
Duke Nukem Forever, I'd say that has the longest development time of a game (supposed to release in 1998 but got delayed all the way up until 2011.)
Red Dead had two very large delays and GTA one very big one. You can throw The Witcher 3 on that pile as well. Sure the delays aren't ideal but the game will sell well if it reviews well. This delay will have little to no impact on sales.
Not announcing a specific date is a good thing for not adding extra pressure to a team. As soon as you announce a date publicly it almost guarantees crunch and obviously that's a topic R* and CPR are very familiar with.
Same, although like you I think I was probbaly blinded by my hype for the game :)
Rumours are internally they were aiming for Fall 2019, however pushed it back to April just to be safe.
Oh dear lol.
Its possible, we could have another TLOU2 disaster on our hands where spoilers are out way before the game launches.
I won't be certain Cyberpunk 2077 is releasing until 24 hours beforehand without a delay message🤘💯
There is still weeks before its release so the actual discs won't be anywhere near retailers meaning it is more likely it doesn't leak, although still possible, hopefully none will have been shipped yet at all and they can just hold the discs until they need to be shipped so leaks stay minimal.
"Hey on the plus side, if they burn out their employees until they quit, I'm sure they won't have to pay their employees the bonus for game sales!"
or
"Totally understandable, it probably takes 3 weeks to make sure current gen can render a fetishized dick to an acceptable level."
or
"Wow, those devs must be really passionate, completely willingly volunteering to push back the game and working themselves to death so they can make this video game as good as possible for us."
Decisions, decisions 🤔

I guess this would depend on how far into the manufacturing process they got. Assuming the discs were pressed or are still being pressed then I would say the probability is high although they could probably delay actual shipment to negate the chances.
I wonder if they actually started printing physical copies. Or was the gold announcement purely a PR move to try and take some focus away from Bloomberg crunch story?
If they knew they could never hit November and another delay was imminent, they probably wouldn't have started formal production.
Of course this is all speculation...
I trust CDPR to give me a good game in the end, W3 also suffered numerous delays.
BUT, if you've taken on more platforms then you can chew, delay those, I don't see the point in delaying all the platforms just because you found out that you need to further optimize Stadia/next-gen etc.

Yeah I'm not believing any release date anymore until I see an installer download the game on my machine.
Fucking absurd, but here we are.
Neither of those games had delays like this one come on now. The only similarity between the three is the level of crunch.

User Banned (1 Month): Ignoring Staff Post, Trolling, Backseat Moderation, Account in Junior Phase
Can some people stop trying to force others to boycott Cyberpunk because of politics in this thread when there are already 4 other threads on the subject I'm here already?
They were 100% committed to previous date, they made some insanely costly ad buys for it.
I have no doubt that game was in full print.
It's the workers in the warehouses where these games are stored that ultimately make the decision to leak it or not.
One person taking a copy home unbeknownst to anyone will be what starts it - and it will be un-patched, play poorly and the internet will attack CDPR for it; like what happened with TLOU2.
Knowing what kind of nightmare it is to get even a small game to all consoles, i'm not surprised at all. This is most likely because the next gen consoles are in the same release schedule too. The certification and testing process is just ridiculous and this is a massive game.
Destruction Allstars just did, but don't think anyone was taking days of work for that game
Look at their wikis. They certainly had release dates scheduled well in advance of their release. Also a three week delay is the most nothing thing ever in the world of video games. The only real news here is that they went gold and then delayed. That's obviously super strange.
GTA V had like three delays I think but everyone kinda figured and Rockstar wasn't advertising the fact the game went gold a month early.
Which is what makes me lean towards them finding some catastrophic bug or a major communication error happening.
Nah GTA V was only delayed once. From Spring to September 2013.
RDR2 had two delays.
They're becoming "The Studio That Cried Release Date".
😂😂😂*Game gets delayed mid install*
Now I'm really curious about how the game performs on a base PS4.
With its nearly 8 years of troubled development saga, I would love to watch a documentary about it. Such a crazy story.

Ignoring the Official Staff post or just trying to stir up people?
Maybe not to you but a month of working close to 100 hours each week sounds like hell.
