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.
LMAO at everyone thinking all Playstation first party will be delayed. God Of War Ragnarok, I mean it's obvious, a 2021 target release never made sense. But still, I remain optimistic for Horizon FW.
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.2021 is gonna be the year of the backlog for me.

We will see, I wouldn't put money on itThe company revealed a week ago that it's going to be released until end of March.
Who knows if they will stick with the date though
Fully expect all currently announced as "coming in 2021" Sony 1st party titles with the exception of Returnal to slip into 2022.
Gotham Knights and REVIII will likely slip too.
God of War hitting 2021 was a laugh riot even when it was announced.
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.
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.You're just very wrong lol. For smaller, sub-50 people studios maybe. But when you get into the team sizes of dozens, hundreds, or more, you'll never be able to fully make up the efficiency and convenience of turning around to talk to someone to solve a problem, or hop into a room for a quick meeting.
All that is not even accounting for the tech issues that you mentioned. Mo cap is an issue. Audio designers don't just work on a desktop PC, they have multiple pieces of equipment, monitors, speakers, etc that likely couldn't just make the trip to their living room setup. Many people likely have to remote into their workstation, which will be less effective for some than others, and itself introduce random tech quirks and issues.
And then, all that is not accounting for the fact that all these people are working from home during a pandemic. There's increased mental and emotional strain that will effect your output. Your kids may be home from school, which alone would be a massive hindrance on productivity. Your mom may have COVID, your friend may have COVID, you yourself might just have increased anxiety due to COVID. That all matters.
So no, everything you said is wrong. There are literally dozens of factors to take into account right now, and they all connect and effect everything else.
I haven't kept up with rumours or the leaks, but that game was supposedly going to launch early 2021, right? If so, I doubt they're gonna delay it until next year.
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?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.
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.
Lmao, that's always my first concern when I hear about delays now.
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".
AgreedWhy 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.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) ?

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."
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.
