Batman Arkham Knight delayed to 2015

So the rumor turned out to be true.

It's probably for the best. It was already getting pretty crowded.

Hopefully they just don't stick it in the first quarter of 2015 cause it's already getting pretty crowded as well.
 
Well yeah according to reports at reveal it barely ran so kind expected be delayed next year get that batman vs superman hype
 
Surprised it's Batman that was moved was expecting Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor too or Aliens but glad it is as means I will be able to buy it when it comes out rather than wait due to getting both Aliens and Shadows of Mordor.
 
Well guess I can continue holding out on a ps4 for now. Kinda good since I just picked up a ps3 and will be sifting through all the exclusives I missed.
 
Goddammit! On one hand, I have more time for DA:I. On the other, I really wanted to play Batman this year after skipping Origins. :(
 
I know alot are hedging their bets on Inquisition (I am also to an extent), because there is almost no way it gets delayed at this point I would think. But if we get another rushed/unfinished mess like DA2. I know BF4 is still fresh in everyone's mind and you would think there is no way EA would pull that again...but, I am certainly getting apprehensive at this point.

That being said, I know things get delayed all the time, but damn, with the new gen just getting started, this is really magnifying all the delays. I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed, there will no doubt be games that I will certainly delay/waiting on price drops at this point with the fear of getting too much of a backlog...until the 2015->2016 delays.
 
Not really seeing where this year is packed and I'm guessing the delays aren't finished. E3 isn't going to bring anything for 2014 we don't already know about.
 
Looks like I'll play Mario Kart all year, hopefully with some Dragon Age if it's not terrible and a tiny, remote chance of WWE 2k15 if that's not terrible. Also UFC & Garden Warfare if the price drops. Then all the PS Plus stuff.

That's.... Not actually a bad year.

Why did I buy a PS4/Xbone again so soon?

Yeah, you should have probably waited for a reason. On the plus side with PS4, it's selling well enough that it may not get a price drop for a little while.
 
Why would EA release Shadows of Mordor and Dragon Age on the same day? That's beyond stupid.

They won't...as DA will probably be 2015 soon the way this year is going so far :/

(And it's WB as others have mentioned)

They've had like 3x the amount of dev time on DA:I that they had on DA2. So I don't think it'll necessarily be rushed.

Doesn't mean it'll be quality, but it's certainly the game I'm most looking forward to.

Shadows of Mordor is much more likely to be the delayed one. But given what the press have been saying, it sounds like both are on track for release this year.
 
They announced this game few months ago, why did they even mention 2014 release.... Stupid.

It was probably mandate from WB... gotta get those preorder numbers high... let's throw Harley's boobs on the screen and say "play her in 2014".....
 
This just in:

"Scientist at CERN announced today that everything as of 21:42 last night has actually been delayed until 2015 due to unforseen consequenses with the large hadron collider. Scientists are deeply sorry for the delay and are reassuring the public that everything in the future will be better due to the time paradox event. Dr. E. Brown had no more comments at the site regarding the matter."

Everything is 2015 now

Seriously...
I was planning to get a PS4 for this Christmas, then I received a PSVita for my birthdya, so I decided to postpone my PS4 to Christmas 2015, and every day that passes seems to reinforce how my decision was the right one...!!!
 
That sucks. Still, between now and the end of the year for me there is still:

---

The Last of Us Remastered
Destiny
Assassin's Creed Unity
FIFA 15
Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix (though at this point I'd be surprised if still came out this year)

Considering:

Shadows of Mordor
NBA 2k15
COD Advanced Warfare

Still need to pick up:

Final Fantasy XIV

---

Yeah I can wait.
 
"The Witcher 3 delayed is a bummer, but I guess Arkham Knight will do in the meantime".

NOPE.

Now I'll probably need to cross my fingers for Pillars of Eternity to ship in 2014.
Ha. Fat chance.

Over half of my "games I'm interested in" list have shifted to 2015. Now it's just Alien: Isolation and Civilization Beyond Earth.

NOPE.

I think Pillars has to ship this year simply because Obsidian doesn't have the budget for a major delay.
 
All that's left for me are Destiny, Evolve and probably Driveclub. Crazy amount of delays but I guess 2015 will nuke our wallets together!

Wonder what game out of all the delays gaffers were looking forward to the most?

Soo yearly titles up the woozo. (and some remasters)


Woo!!!
 
Not really :(

Hope the 3DS and Vita have some stuff I care about this holiday! If Rouge Legacy makes it out for Vita this year all is forgiven

If you have a PC it's probably better to look at PC focused games, like Civ New World, Pillars of Eternity, Grey Goo, Wasteland 2, Legend of Grimrock 2 and Divinity Original Sin.
