Thankfully it will be too small for me to notice.

What was your bet by way? Delay or on time?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Got one for you

Jesus christ I was hoping I could get away with it

 

[MasterCornholio]

How dis

 

[Varteras]

Announce a release date for 11-11-22... and then delay it to 2023. Because I want to watch the world burn

 

[MasterCornholio]

Wait I just saw someone say it's been delayed.

Has that been announced yet?

 

[Putonahappyface]

Release early 2023.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I get a horny spider and he gets Donkey Kong? This isn't meant to be pleasurable.

 

[CosmicComet]

Release early 2023.

Me too.

March 2023 supremacy gang.

 

[Lognor]

You mean release date announcement this june for this year

Nope. Delayed until 2023

 

[Lognor]

From 1 to 10, how much does that Starfield delay burns for you, that you are so desperate to hoping GoW is delayed, too?

And by what factor will that value be multiplied once it releases in 2022?

Dude wtf you talking about? I've been saying gow2 well be delayed for months! This isn't new! Do a bit of research

Yeah the biggest release of the year for 2023

Point at losers' avatars and laugh hysterically at them.
Also, being right bragging pass.

I expect a release date trailer soon to deflect away from the Jim Ryan email thing if that gets any worse

 

[93xfan]

GotY of 2022 is going to release in 2022.

Yeah, and I bet they don’t want to go up against that.

JK. I’m sure it’ll be a contender.

Isn't it a bit unfair thou?

2023 losers will only have to "wear" their avatar for a shorter period of time.

I say let's have them use it until Starfield releases.

Love them! Please add more options if you can though. There are ~150 votes for each category. Whatever happens, most Gaffers will soon end up with one of these 4 avatars, and the forum will become an extremely confusing place

+1 for A arvfab 's suggestion.

How do we actually know though? Last year Sony showed a Horizon Trailer in May and said it would release Holidays 2021 and then announced a delay in August. Maybe no delay announced by Labor Day or Sept 1 then assume it will launch.

This game was delayed once

I doubt they would give us a specific release date just to delay it again

You're out of your mind if you think all the voters are honorable people that will respect the bet

I’m pretty sure Sony’s done that before no?

Sounds to me like a lot of people are losing this bet, lmao. Seems like the marketing push isn't that far away now and they are getting ready for it.

 

[3liteDragon]

Idk if the poll's still ongoing but 147 voters are about to lose the bet lol.

 

[Lognor]

Standing by that it'll be delayed. Can't back down now!

So even when the game goes gold?

i reckon once it goes gold, it's gonna release anyway

Cyberpunk was the exception. Cases like that never happen

 

[Papacheeks]

To me if God of war comes out this year, it's going to anyway you slice it make Microsoft look bad. Regardless of what Microsoft has for the rest of the year.

Be nice if the gears collection rumors or fable collection rumors were true.

Gears collection though would be great, it would reiterate the internet joke of Halo/Gears/Forza. WHich Microsoft is trying to distance themselves from.

 

[Jim Ryan other Clone]

Announce a release date for 11-11-22... and then delay it to 2023. Because I want to watch the world burn

Or just release it at 11-11-22 to watch the world burn

 

[Hobbygaming]

This one

Spoiler

I’m sorry

 

[Bramble]

Without reading through all 6 pages, can somebody logically explain why this is even a topic and why people are expecting another delay? I get the feeling it's mainly wishful thinking by anti-PS folks, but that could be just me.

- We have multiple Sony Santa Monica devs moving to other projects (which usually happens when a game is basically done)
- We have multiple Sony Santa Monica devs confirming Ragnarok is still set for a 2022 release
- We have Cory Barlog posting a video in which he states they are "tightening up the graphics"
- We have a Sony job listing stating God of War is the biggest release of the year.

Make it make sense.

Starfield happened, er well, didn't happen in 2022.

I agree with people that a delay can still happen. But like you said there's plenty of evidence that supports the game coming out this year.

I'm leaning more towards the game coming out than it getting delayed again. Although I don't have have absolute proof that there's absolutely no chance of it getting delayed.

 

[Bramble]

Starfield happened, er well, didn't happen in 2022.

So? What does that have to do with God of War?

1. Many games are being delayed this year and have been delayed out of other years in general but especially during COVID

2. the Cory Barlog video is a point against it releasing this year, the tightening up the graphics line was a joke reference to an old commercial not indicative of what stage of development they're in

3. Barely any new news about the game in over half a year

4. Those devs aren't in charge of decision making and aren't going to indicate a delay even if it is going to be delayed. All is right on the ship until the captain says otherwise.

5. Sony job listing doesn't say biggest release of 2022 just of the year (which can be 2023), and in a job listing they're going to make a job as attractive as possible, wording isn't indicative of anything. A hiring manager isn't going to be keyed into a delay anyways, especially when any official delay won't be for a few months.

And the main counter to all this....they already showed a ton of gameplay in the showcase last year.

Compare that to mostly cgi trailers and behind the scenes footage of a game/games that were supposed to launch this year.
