The guy who was the 1st to leak Horizon: Zero Dawn for PC replied to a Twitter post about games delayed to 2022 with "I would add Horizon to that list too".
Yikes.

Even in a Covid-less world this wouldn't be in the least bit surprising. Combined with Sony already having the cheek to try and convince people a new God of War was coming this year and how much studio crunch is under the microscope these days and I fully believe this rumour. Wouldn't surprise me if internally it was never realistically planned for release this year.

They should delay PS5 launch to 2021

Wouldn't be surprised at all if true. Spring seems likely. And again, it's stunning that people thought we were actually getting God of War 2 this year. That's looking more and more like a Fall/Winter 2022 game.
The fact that people were seriously expecting huge announcements from that State of Play is hilarious. Everything is delayed, why would they bother announcing a new big game right now?
Almost zero chance we see BOTW2 either IMO. Maybe a surprise 3D Mario. For me, 2021 is for the backlog and some Blizzard reboots (TBC, D2), with some new releases like Ratchet peppered in. Not a blockbuster year at all, and no, I'm not counting Halo until we actually see what it looks like now.

Have to disagree. The joy of playing PS4 games in 60FPS and the almost nonexistent load times are worth it alone for the upgrade.

Find a post of mine where i troll the halo delay.
I'm always for giving all the time in the world to devs, at best i trolled series x for not having a fully nextgen game af launch, but not the halo delay.
If it was for me, horizon 2 would be an exclusive nextgen game at the end of ps5 life cycle just to see what they can do with all the accumulated knowledge and using 120% of the console power.
P.s. maybe you weren't talking about me, sorry if that is the case.

No complaints here. If Cyberpunk showed us anything, repeat after John Carmack. "When it's done".

Guess it will be R&C vs Halo Infinite in the battle of 2021 exclusives.

Yeah the director said they were targetting later in 2021 I believe. As soon as you suggested that meant probability was high it would be 2022 people went apeshit.

I imagine this is good news to the developers, less pressure off their shoulders. It took six years plus to make Zero Dawn. It's only been four year since they dropped The Frozen Wild while working on Forbidden West and the other two projects. I can wait.

It got pushed to June. Was originally earlier title. June 11 is ratchet, KENA:Bridge of spirits is August, Returnal at the end of April.
So that leaves fall open for something. I really hope Horizon isn't pushed, but if it is hopefully there's something they have for fall?
Yea it took 6 years in it's entirety. WHich included conecptions/story/ new engine from scratch. They now since then have been using the same but modified engine, a lot of their assets dont have to be remade from scratch.
I expect many more delays honestly.

Yeah, seems folks forgot how barren 2014 was and with no COVID at that. I'd argue 2021 will end up being better than 2014 at least.

I wonder if rumors of the Last of us multiplayer dropping this year are true then?
Wonder if thats one of their big games for 2021 is revamped TLOU 2 with multiplayer thats F2P.

Never understood the appeal of the game. It was a pure AC clone with dinos. Tsuishma was a 100x better AC clone. Couldnt even finish it
Probably more of the same...but Ubisoft hasn't shown any FC6 gameplay yet for some reason, so who knows?

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
I wonder if that's the case. It could be that Sony is worried about releasing so many extremely expensive AAA games this year when chip shortages will severely limit the number of PS5s they can sell to consumers this year. Sony expected to sell 15 million PS5s in its first year, this forecast was changed to 11 million in September and it wouldn't surprise me if Sony is forced to lower the sales forecast again in the upcoming months.
It just doesn't make sense to release single player games that are expected to sell 10 million or more copies at a time when PS5 has such a small consumer base because of outside circumstances.

All NPC including Ygritte (forogt the name) were emotionally like dead fish, human a.i. was laughable and the dodge roll spam sucked. Otherwise ok for a new ip.

I would argue having them release prematurely is better for the consumer. The sooner they release, the sooner early adopters start testing them, the sooner manufacturers start addressing and correcting faults in production lines, the sooner the consoles start aging and thus, decreasing in price. By the time PS5 has a worthy catalogue you will most likely be able to buy it at a lower price, and with the hardware also being far more reliable than it was in its initial launch stage.

Kinda hyperbole to say "This year was jam packed but now its got nothing"? isn't it? There are like 20 games coming out this year I am really excited for, with 10 more in backlog and 50 more from the past I want to try. I guess I'm lucky to have a broad taste.
Its like someone saying they really like football but then they only watch the last 3 games in the world cup.
