Bad PR when the first month of press coverage is overwhelmingly negative regarding the (presumably) poor performance on current Gen consoles.Lol it went gold just release the game already and then patch it for the next month what's the difference? The game is going to sell a TON of units regardless.
sry for the confusion, it is duke nukem forever.
I thought you were referring to the above posts of the account saying no more delays not referencing the gold announcement. My apologies.Officially announcing that the game is gold isn't "every reply". That's not something that is up to their PR department, and it definitely needs approval from someone higher up the ranks.
And if that tweet went out without their knowledge too, then it's just another example of awful management. No PR team just has the freedom to post updates on development of their own volition.
What other games have gone gold and then delayed? For the vast majority gone gold means what it always has.Gone Gold has really lost its meaning... how do you gone gold but can't hit target release date?
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.

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).Gone Gold has really lost its meaning... how do you gone gold but can't hit target release date?
Also, they just basically extend crunch for all the employees for another few weeks although I doubt it would get much better after the game is officially released.
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.

Its possible, we could have another TLOU2 disaster on our hands where spoilers are out way before the game launches.Now that game is in the print and copies are shipped around as prep for the launch... what are the odds that physical copies get out between now and Dec 10th, leading to leaked video of un-patched game, story spoilers etc?
I won't be certain Cyberpunk 2077 is releasing until 24 hours beforehand without a delay message🤘💯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.

Unheard of, actually.
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.Now that game is in the print and copies are shipped around as prep for the launch... what are the odds that physical copies get out between now and Dec 10th, leading to leaked video of un-patched game, story spoilers etc?

Neither of those games had delays like this one come on now. The only similarity between the three is the level of crunch.It sure did hurt GTA and Red Dead when they did the same thing ...
*Game gets delayed mid install*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.
ExactlyThat post was still authorized by someone that did know what was happening with development to the point of officially declaring the game ready to be launched.
It all traces back to the incompetent management at CDPR.
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...
It's the workers in the warehouses where these games are stored that ultimately make the decision to leak it or not.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.
Destruction Allstars just did, but don't think anyone was taking days of work for that game
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.
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.Neither of those games had delays like this one come on now.

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.Neither of those games had delays like this one come on now. The only similarity between the three is the level of crunch.
Which is what makes me lean towards them finding some catastrophic bug or a major communication error happening.They were 100% committed to previous date, they made some insanely costly ad buys for it.

They're becoming "The Studio That Cried Release Date".Yeah I'm not believing any release date anymore until I see an installer download the game on my machine.

😂😂😂
You are correct not sure where I got maybe Max Payne 3Nah GTA V was only delayed once. From Spring to September 2013.
RDR2 had two delays.
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?
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.)

Maybe not to you but a month of working close to 100 hours each week sounds like hell.A month delay doesn't seem much so unless they delay it even more it shouldn't be something to severe to fix hopefully. I suppose it's fairly buggy and runs poorly on Xbox One and PS4? Will be fun to read people's impressions.
