Great birthday present for me!

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Meanwhile Chad Todd Howard announces a release date 17+ months in the future to not set unrealistic expectations

Delays are meh

You'll get delayed too don't worry

 

[Tommi84]

Wa

Probably because of that leaked footage that looked horrible.

Was going to mention this,but seems you already had it covered

 

[tommib]

Registered for the network test!

 

[Fbh]

Cool I guess, an extra month to try and get a Ps5 for less than $1000 fucking bucks.

 

[hlm666]

I can't be the only one that doesn't care about this game....?

Like, I loved Bloodborne, but Fromsoftware should really try something new..

No not until other developers have the souls genre as flooded as fps and tps. I look forward to the day I don't have to play a mortal shell or fallen order because there hasn't been anything else actually good in the genre to play.

 

[kingpotato]

They should delay it to April 2022 and work less crunch.

 

[skneogaf]

Registered for ps5 network test, shame I couldn't select steam.

Curious what can be achieved in a month.

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

"...the depth & strategic freedom of the game exceeded initial expectations"

I'm curious about what caused the delay and what they're gonna pull off within that month. Either way, I'd take a delayed game that's great over a half baked disaster

 

[kingpotato]

That's not bad. Rather late and polished.

I hope this is the From Software game where they take care of some of their technological debt, frame pacing etc.

I think Sekiro and Dark Souls 3 have almost perfect 60fps and frame pacing on the current gen consoles and PC. If you are playing on the last gen, then I would be worried but otherwise I'm personally optimistic it will be pretty solid.

Didn't 60fps just halve the time of the stutter, but it's still there with their frame limiter? I know if you unlock it on PC it's fine though

I'd be playing on PS5, so at least I know it won't be like Bloodborne on PS4. Amazing game, but hard to go back to now.

I can't speak to exactly what is going on, but I've been playing though Dark Souls 3 on PS5 this month and it's been a smooth experience. I played a bit of Bloodborne on PS5 as well and it feels like a pretty stable 30fps overall. The frame pacing issues I personally noticed were more prevalent on the base PS4, improved on the PS4 Pro and PS5.

 

[DelireMan7]

Not even mad. Actually a bit happy since I wanted to reduce my backlog before its launch Also an extra time for trying to get a PS5.

Take your time and give us the best experience.

 

[Chukhopops]

Even knowing there will be a ton of stuff to play this really hurts. I think this will be FROM’s magnum opus, a game that will have the same level of influence as Dark Soild itself.

 

[Black Chamber]

I made a comparison between the latest footage from the Network Test trailer & the leaked footage. Clearly, the leaked footage was either from a very old build - or a build that had several LOD features turned off.

 

[Shifty1897]

That's going to cost them sales on PS4/5 between Horizon and GT7.

 

[Elder Legend]

That's amazing! February 25th is literally my birthday

 

[SantaC]

I blame the recent leaker

 

[22:22:22]

Good.

 

[Great Hair]

February 4

• Dying Light 2: Stay Human

February 17

• King of Fighters XV

February 18

• Horizon: Forbidden West

February 22

• Destiny 2: The Witch Queen
• Sifu

February 25

• Elden Ring
• Saints Row

My wallet will cry

 

[Mister Wolf]

Gives me time to play other things like Monster Hunter Rise PC.

 

[VN1X]

That's amazing! February 25th is literally my birthday

For me, All it has to achieve is be equal or slightly better looking than Sekiro. Which I believe they will do.
This build looks to have purposely all particle animation with all its bells and whistles turned off.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

I knew this would happen to my most anticipated game lol. Oh well, make it as great as it can be . This and Horizon within 1 week of each other though .

 

[Northeastmonk]

I was going to take one of my vacations when this came out but I don't know if I can trust it to not get delayed again.

I was lucky, HR processed the PTO swap just fine. lol

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Take all the time because a delayed game will eventually come good but a rushed games always bad

No Mans Sky enters the chat

 

[Kokoloko85]

Thats cool. I won’t be able to play it till March anyway.
Miyazaki makes amazing games so I trust the delay.

This will now take priority over Horizon 2 and Sifu

 

[Kokoloko85]

I can't be the only one that doesn't care about this game....?

Like, I loved Bloodborne, but Fromsoftware should really try something new..

Or just carry on doing what they are great at and change it up here and there like Bloodborne, Sekiro etc
No point making something new for the sake of it. It’s his genre and no1 else comes close to making it as good as him.

Unlike the million 1st person shooters, wrpg’s, jrpg’s, open world games these are Different and not annual

 

[Airbus Jr]

Bad month to compete with horizon forbidden west

 

[NT80]

Probably because of that leaked footage that looked horrible.

We don't know if that has anything to do with it and that footage looked like a really early build compared to the official footage.

 

[R6Rider]

Volition:

 

[Starfield]

You'll get delayed too don't worry

wanna bet?

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Surprised they haven't announced CE preorders yet.

 

[saintjules]

 

[Bartski]

Bad month to compete with horizon forbidden west

tbh I think it's the other way around. But if there are no changes 6 days should be more than enough to platinum Horizon just in time for the GOAT.

Sifu has to wait 'till late March.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I am expecting a lot of games will be delayed in 2022. It will be due to more development time being needed or the publishers not wanting to release their game next to another big release.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Sifu has to wait 'till late March.

You can platinumed open world game like hfw in just 6 days?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

That sucks, just delay it until the summer

have no time for it with Horizon same week

 

[Bartski]

You can platinumed open world game like hfw in just 6 days?

not rushing it, we'll see.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

wanna bet?

Sorry bud I only take one bet at a time

 

[BusierDonkey]

The world as a whole has been delayed.

I wish my bills could be delayed too.

 

[Codes 208]

Welp, but at least that gives me a month to play legends arceus

 

[Skifi28]

Elden Ring
Dying light 2
Horizon 2
all in the same month lmao

Oh, my sweet summer child...

 

[MrS]

A know-nothing clout chaser.

 

[ToTTenTranz]

February 4

• Dying Light 2: Stay Human

February 17

• King of Fighters XV

February 18

• Horizon: Forbidden West

February 22

• Destiny 2: The Witch Queen
• Sifu

February 25

• Elden Ring
• Saints Row

My wallet will cry

Unless you have the time to play like 10 hours a day, you don't really need to buy all those in February.
Besides, there's a couple of games in there that might not be as good as you're hoping. Dying Light 2 isn't looking too good, nor is Saints Row TBH.

 

[Banjo64]

Gutted, as I’m day one on this. But, this’ll give me more time to enjoy Halo, Battlefield, Forza and Pokémon Arceus. Can’t wait to play this game, Miyazaki always delivers.

 

[Fake]

2021 need to end soon. 2022 will be the year of gaming.

WHAT?!
