2021 is gonna be the year of the backlog for me. Which i'm honestly not too upset about, i still have so much to play it's not even funny. It does really feel like this gen started with a whimper instead of a bang though.

Several games are expected to be delayed out of 2021 according to Jason Schreier
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
Can't see Horizon slipping, at least not for PS5. They might delay the PS4 version though if it's slowing down things.
Horizon 2
God of War R
Battlefield 6
Breath of the Wild 2
As well as maybe some unknown projects that were supposed to come out this year too

Yes, exactly. I've got a pretty sizeable backlog now that will easily carry me throughout the year. Throw in a couple of almost guaranteed releases (Mario 3d world, Persona 5 Strikers and Nier replicant) and anything else will just be gravy.

OP
Ubisoft is absolutely going to change the title and the plot of this game. There's no way they'd release a game called "Quarantine".
I don't get why people think Horizon 2 is likely to be a 2022 title. The game has been in development for quite a long time. Especially compared to the other games mentioned here. I feel like Horizon 2 and Rachet and Clank are likely to come this year. We shall see what happens I guess.
I'm confused, why was 2021 at the time of announcement a laugh riot? Have we heard about any issues with the game's development? Since we haven't seen any footage, I'm not sure how we can judge that 2021 is never going to happen. And the lack of footage does not inherently mean the game is behind.
Not trying to be facetious or anything I'm legitimately asking if there has been any news on the development to imply it will miss 2021.
lol. Seriously, if Phil had delayed it by a few month id assume so, but a whole year makes me feel confident about the project, which is supposedly complete.
No surprise i was already expecting most of Sony's exclusive to get pushed back. They always make it seem vague. People were laughing at Microsoft but like for what. All Sony has is Demon souls at launch which doesnt seem to be in the top 3 selling games of the PS5.
Halo's delay will have a smaller impact now that both console will probably have a slow year.
For Nintendo, I do think a lot of games were already pushed to 2021 from 2020. So I'm guessing a fair amount should still make it this year. I really expect it to be its biggest year for software and to roll on the competition. They wouldn't put Mario 3D world + BF in February if they were in trouble for the rest. Even if its celebrating Mario, they would delay it later in the year since they already have MH in March.
So imo, no way Nintendo won't have a stellar lineup.

As someone who works in the software industry from home I vehemently disagree with WFH being less productive but your points about the pandemic distractions are valid.
I think there should be a decent amount of delays as well just from the effects of 2020. I expect games targeting Q1 should be mostly fine and I still think at least Deathloop, Ratchet & Clank, and Halo should be releasing this year. Anything else is fair...uh...game.
Yeah. it was supposed to release in jan or feb but they changed some stuff and wanted to polish it up a lot more. The leak (hacking) showed it's planned for april/may.
So i personally can't see it not releasing in 2021.
Ha! Jokes on him. Nintendo has no games past March. Can't delay games if you haven't announced them.
That's very optimistic - I made a gentlemen's bet it'll be '23
Was Jason in any point of his tweet specifying "Sony" or saying those delays will be 2021>>>2022?
I get that Sony is probably the biggest publisher with several 2021 release target but there is a lot of jumping to conclusions happening on this thread
The bolded portion is why I had a laugh. We haven't seen any footage and the game is coming out this year? Seems highly unlikely to me. Had they had a showcase like Ratchet & Clank, everyone would have found it much more believable. We saw a logo. That doesn't screen "2021."
Lmao, that's always my first concern when I hear about delays now.
I saw a couple screens of posts this thread, and I thought the news was something like SIE/Jim Ryan officially telling people to expect mass delays into 2022 based on what I was reading, then I come check out the actual thread and it's about a Schreier tweet that doesn't mention Sony or that the delays will all push games into next year. Kinda funny tbh.
Realistically, there'll be delays. For everyone. But if you seriously think stuff like Ratchet (among others) is getting pushed far enough that it doesn't make 2021 that's just hilarious to me.

It's a zombie game and if it's based on the Outbreak event from Siege, the virus is from space.
Hell, Assassin's Creed made COVID canon. They aren't changing anything
Please, not BOTW 2 or SMTV (and the localization of the next Trails game, if it was ever planned for 2021). I know they don't have an official release date, yet I fully expected them for 2021.
Why would anyone guess God of War or Horizon when Sony successfully launched a new hardware during a pandemic (with more units than they had for PS4) along with 3-4 major AAA in 2020 (TLOU Part II, Ghost, Miles, Demon's Souls + other games like Sackboy) ?
Especially when TLOU (2nd delay) and Ghost delay were due to the disruption of the supply chain (and not game dev related)
God of War Ragnarok will have 3 years+ and Horizon 4 years+ of development, I'm confident, they will both release in 2021

Right? Shit gets delayed every year, don't need to be a press sneak fuck insider to say "games will not come out when they originally planned"
I think Horizon will hit 2021 since they dated that one so recently, but their reluctance to mention God of War makes me think that one could slip.
And this:

I think you answer your own question... it will be dev related this time.
I don't know, I don't find the lack of footage to be a terribly compelling argument since 2021 just started. Plenty of time to show the game off and still make a 2021 date. I'm not saying it won't get delayed, but that we currently lack compelling evidence to support that it will be delayed, IMO.
I would say the same for many games at this point where we have little to no info to suggest they will be delayed beyond obvious Covid work adjustments impacting development.
Yeah, he doesn't say anything about getting pushed out of 2021, but some will naturally just like any other year.
