These days I hail a delay as a smart move. Wish more devs/publishers would allow for this.
There are so many games to play, it makes no sense to release crap unless you’re in it for making money. Then you can release whenever and someone somewhere will buy it. See MW3.
I think the last COD I played was when they were a WWII game back in '03 lol.
Those were the good ones.
A delayed game is eventually good, but a bad game is bad forever. (Very rare exceptions apply).
Duke Nukem Forever is the exception, and to be honest I'm not even sure if it counts as a 'delay' when they started over with new game engines multiple times...
Yeah development hell is a rough spot. Sometimes it can turn out great projects (Doom 2016 is a decent example, when it was originally meant to be Doom 4 it was closer to a call of duty style game) but alot of the time it turns into a mess. You already mentioned Duke Nukem forever, you also have Spore, Too human, Final Fantasy 15, Dead island 2, etc.
Depends on the proximity of the release date and the amount of delay honestly. A delay of only a few weeks very close to release tends to indicate that the release is going to be a mess, fortunately it is not the case here and the delay is significant.
I can think of only one time a two week delay didn't result in a broken game anyway, but how much of that was because of the delay is impossible to know.
I know it'll be worth the improvements, but I'm allowed to be disappointed all the same. I swear they had a November release, so a week or so ago when I tried to find the release date, I couldn't find it again, and instead just saw Winter 2023. I was bracing for a delay (still disappointed though).
I'm right there with you. I'm bummed to hear this news, but would much rather wait a year than have it release this year and be hot garbage.
Tzeentch doing his thing again.
Ah man I was really looking forward to this. Oh well, a delay just means the game will be better when it comes out, I’d rather this delay than another trash 40k game be released
Saw the thumbnail for the atricle and thought they were gonna bring buzz lightyear into Warhammer! 😂
Embracer needed that win
