This feels planned because of the next gen consoles. The pandemic makes it easier to hide.

I legitimately just cried.
This hurts me deep, even though the writing was on the wall.
Fuck.

Hey, are you okay? I know this is about a TLoU, but I'm sorry that you're ill. I hope you get the chance to play it before it's too late.
I can't believe MANY are actually believing this is delayed till PS5.
This will be released on PS4 before the launch of PS5 ( my bet is September ).
The game is almost complete and made from the ground up for PS4, a console with already 100M+ userbase.
PS5 (ALREADY) have it's own launch line up of games build just to show off the console powers.
PS5 is BC with PS4.. a patch is all what it needs.
SONY did this literally every single generation they had.. releasing exclusives on their last few months of their console life before the release of next, but apparently people keep forgetting that this is normal situation for the company.

Just report and move on, those are some of the worst shitposts ever.
I'm sorry but I can't fully understand the decision. Obviously we are f***ed due the covid-19 (I'm spanish, we know how hard can be...), but the reasons themselves sounds difficult to understand for me. They could release the digital version at least. Logistics... If they want to protect their workers I totally agree, but logistics... And there is not a possible date! Nothing! I really hope the game will be run smooth and fine on PS4. Smells a lot of PS5 here and I don't like at all. We'll see.
Kinda frustrating to have to wait for physical shipments when I planned on getting it digital anyways, but I understand it.
I just looked at my PS4 library and TLOU 2 still has its little countdown showing 56 days...
This one really hurts. I bought a PS4 for this after E3 2018 and it's been my most anticipated game since then, despite my constant worries how the story will handle queer rep. With all the shit going on in the world and my life, looking forward to this at the end of May has been a way to cope (not my only one of course).
Things are bad at the moment, but they're going to get magnitudes worse. I can't see the game being released for at least a year, new consoles are also not coming out this year either - no fucking way.
It sucks because there's really not much else to do in these lockdowns, entertainment is pretty essential to keeping people inside and happy.

I get it. But damm. I was legitimately looking forward to it, thinking I will for sure have at least a cpuple of weeks of something that will make me not think about the virus as much, TLOU made me think for months after I played it.
Well instead of a coping thing it will be a celebration of the end of lockdown thing.

What? The game will absolutely be out this year. We're going to be over the peak within a month; that's not going to push all entermainment out a year. Delays will be a matter of months, not a year+.
A month. Please educate yourself. Shit ain't getting back to normal in a month. Multiples of months to try get a grip on the virus or for us to at least get a better understanding on how to get society functioning at any type of normalcy. People who have already had it moving freely etc whilst those who have not still on lock down. Something along those lines. Massive delays in not just programming but in manufacture, distribution and sales. Months.
But we are talking years minimum to turnaround what this is going to do to economies. We could be heading for a depression.
I'm not scaremongering, people should prepare for big disruption for more than a matter of months.
Heh. Kinda reminds me of Necrobarista.
Been floating around the top of my Most Wanted list since it was announced over 3 years ago and still hasn't released.
Same thing happened with No Truce With The Furies / Disco Elysium. It was originally slated for 2017 and didn't actually launch until late 2019. That was was actually at the top of my most anticipated list for years.
Oddly, these types of delays don't bother me at all. I still don't have enough time to enjoy all the games I own as it is, let alone all the other gems out there waiting to be experienced.
I just focus on the here and now. Enjoy what's sitting in front of me. The rest will come in time.
What with the sarcasm? People had said its really good base on the previews and user impressions,
And people thought it was crazy for Nintendo to release Xenoblade Chronicles against TLOU2.
... Actually no, a lot of people said there was no way Sony was actually releasing TLOU2 then. Lol.

Any proof of digital sales being bigger than physical sales? Sony first reported it in first quarter 2019. When you factor in iOS and PC, digital sales would have to dwarf physical sales in this industry.
Here is an article from the Financial Post about projections by 2021 though:

That's why I wrote, "We're going to be over the peak within a month" and not "everything will be back to normal in a month." I say we'll be over the peak within the month because it is the case that we're currently on track to see the virus peak later this month. That's why I wrote that. So please read what you're actually responding to.
yes it will take several months for businesses and economies to start swinging back to something approaching normalcy. Even when quarantine orders, lift many public places will likely limit attendance to certain limits for a while and have people trickle back in, than return in droves all at once. Supply chains will be in varying conditions depending on how the virus tapers through different countries at different rates. But that doesn't mean society is going to be shut down as it is for the next year or so, which is what many people on this forum continue to peddle despite no evidence to that point.

I'm so bummed about this. I was starting to get hyped again cause we were getting the game next month. Felt right around the corner.
What percentage are digital sales for a game like this? I thought it would be high enough to release despite any physical shortages.
This does not bode well for PS5 and XSX. And I don't really care how confident Sony and Microsoft have recently been in reiterating that the next generation consoles are Holiday releases. These companies are always confident up until they get to the ledge. And I'm not blaming them, I'm just not optimistic.
I'm baffled that people think that there's just a big button that Sony can press to launch a multimillion dollar game. Which just goes to show how seamlessly everything works together that people don't realise how much work goes into this.
