The Last of Us Part II and Iron Man VR delayed until further notice

Again, the game is basically done. This isn't a development issue. It's a logistical/economic issue for the delay
Pretty sure that they saw the current launch situation with FFVII and wanted to avoid that. A seamless launch where all copies will arrive on time just isn't realistic right now. Also, just doing a digital launch isn't realistic and would make them lose a lot more money than just delaying it.
The opposite - it's a PC game, where the audience vastly prefer / utilise digital distribution. It is also a time when a lot of people are at home, playing and buying PC games.
Unless there are actual development issues due to COVID. They'll probably proceed with it
Yea, I wouldn't feel comfortable playing something like Doom or Call of Duty unpatched. But that's just me personally.
Probably.
That would still not affect my plan tho. First the PS5, then TLOU2 lol
Of course its coming out this year. Sony need to sell it, now with this ps4 games that didn't came out. Imagine the bundles.
So... what's the opportune time to launch this now? September is Cyberpunk month. October is on the eve of next-gen. August?
From the AAA PlayStation first party games, I don't think any needed a download to play. I'm pretty sure they had all you needed on the disc in case you didn't have an internet connection. I could be wrong though cause I don't have every one
What difference would this make if they wouldn't be able to produce that many units?
Its not coming out this year because PS5 launch games won't be ready
Given how the launches of RE3 and FF7 are right now, i'm really not surprised with FF7 being released early physical in some regions, whilst slight delayed retail in another with RE3 seeing some countries pushed back until early May for copies. As ND have said the game is almost done, they haven't started printing discs or anything yet, so with the growing concerns around the virus and lockdowns being enforced for non-essential work, game stores closing etc just the whole environment surrounding the biggest PS4 release of the generation, it all makes sense.
I also imagine they have obligations to their retail partners surrounding shipments, in-store promo, etc... Don't get me wrong, bring on the digital future, but it would be bad business to essentially undercut & screw over retailers who are depending on all a major release like TLOU2 brings.
I'm mostly sad because this delays details on whatever they're doing with multiplayer even further.
dude... that is what I'm saying. Sony is not being an altruistic enterprise, it is all about the money. Sony is going to make those killer ps4 games into ps5 release titles. They don't need new games.
If you're playing wihout a connection to the internet you don't really have a choice and the disk does work in that scenario.
That seems like a good way to shoot yourself in the foot. No new games to sell your console? Bold strategy.
So this is what broke the camel's back for Era. Even Stark couldn't avoid the pandemic. Damn.
At least drop the demo on the store Sony. The same demo they've been showing at each event for the past year and a half.

They can release this game at virtually any point. I don't think Cyberpunk will have much of an effect on TLOU sales
As soon as possible I'd imagine. They had no problems releasing their two major remaining 1st party titles less than 1 month apart prior to this delay (which everyone said they wouldn't do), so as long as that's maintained I doubt they care too much about a specific month as long as it's ASAP.
I never tried games like Bloodborne unpatched. Wonder if the load times would be an issue.
The amount of posts ITT, especially in the first couple pages, wanting this to become a PS5 launch title is unreal. Like they're going to just throw away all that work and not release it on PS4...wtf?
You think the PS5 is still coming out this winter? Ehhhh......I'm thinking that's also going to get pushed back.
They are probably just watching and waiting at this point. My guess based on no Ghost delay yet is they are hoping somewhere in June to August.
at this point of production, there is no way any one does motion capturing. the game is done minus some bug tweaking.
I am 100% sure its all due to the logistical issues they are facing since amazon and the like are prioritizing other items in these times of crisis
They delayed Cyberpunk because they needed more dev time. Who knows if they are developing as fast as before thanks to the quarentine? I would say that Cyberpunk will also be delayed.
Disappointing but understandable. Safety of employees comes first!
Looking forward to playing it when it releases :)

As someone with third world internet that took a few days to download all the patches, it definitely made an impact on the load times, maybe shaved off around 10 seconds of loading between deaths. Also, I swear some enemy attack patterns were different.
Considering the game is basically finished, do you think them saying "indefinitely" can mean that they are discussing if TLOU2 would just take tsushima's release date and just delay tsushima maybe until july/september?
I'm not at all surprised by this. I expect we'll hear more of this sort of news over the next few months.
Sad to hear from Schreier that Naughty Dog employees were/are still crunching from home.
Delaying it is the right decision, whatever the reason is. Wonder if there's a bit of them wanting to be sure there's no spoilers too, given the "we want all player to experience it at the same time" bit.
And yeah, it's not Animal Crossing. Different vibe for this game, not the right timing, and hard to be sure that people would go for a digital copy if there were issues. Different audience.

Anyone who thinks new consoles are coming this year is completely out the loop. Look out the window, or better still look out your window in 7-14 days. The world is grinding to a full stop. It doesn't matter what MS or Sony say in the interim or that you think China is over the hump,.
World's fucked for a good while yet.

I don't think the idea was that they would throw away the PS4 version but release on both consoles at the same time.
Guess I'll pick up a game during a sale and play some games from the back log (and Animal Crossing).
Hopefully 2021 will be a best case scenario. Vaccine, things opening up, job market getting back on its feet, next gen consoles, and a shitload of games and movies.

Many of them had that sentiment, yeah, but there were also a ton of posters that wanted the game to just be a PS5 title, which would be a ridiculous thing to do.
(There were also a few that wanted the PS4 version canceled if the PS5 happened to come out first, which is a very weird thing to say for its own set of reasons.)
Studios are closed down (for months probably) factories aren't working, etc. There is no way. They would have had to start ramping up production right now. It's not happening, it will be delayed until they can release it properly and make the most profit.
