Industry seems to be fleeing from March.

 

[touchfuzzy]

For the best I think, was looking pretty rough technically in these early showings.

 

[Thief1987]

The text on the themed background was brought to you by chatgpt, thanks for your attention

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

For the better. I love what I'm seeing but technical part of the demonstrations was rough.

[adamsapple]

Bet this isn't the last delay the game sees.

 

[Arsic]

This seems a bit too close to Wolverine which we assumed would be a September title no?

Plus you're next to Saros as well.

A delay is good for the product and players but the window chosen could be a bad one.

 

[Certinty]

Good move. A two month delay for a much more polished final product is always a good thing.

 

[StueyDuck]

Not surprised, while looking dope that demo had major performance issues

 

[Darsxx82]

The first of many to come... At least it's still within 2026.

My thoughts are more on the games scheduled for 2026 that will be moved to 2027.

 

[viveks86]

2 months? That's nothing. It ain't Bond if it ain't polished.

 

[Sephimoth]

Enough time to replace the big bad with someone who can voice act.

IO Strategy Session, Meeting Minutes:

Game Director: I think we could use a little more time to polish this thing up. Just a couple months could make a big difference.
IO Publishing: Are you sure? Response has been positive so far.
Game Director: *cough* ... Mind's Eye *cough*
IO Publishing: .... May 27th. Get out.

Easy choice between Wokerine and Sarozard

Avowed 2 must be coming out already

 

[Pasta la Vista]

People about to find out IO was only really good for Hitman.

Saros is as niche as it gets, doesn't matter when it launches, as much as I love Housemarque, the game won't sell huge numbers no matter what

Wokeverine, personally I don't give a damn about after the leaks, it's in the top ten comic book heroes but imo it's not close to Spider-Man at all (and SP2 was worse than the first game), idk how it'll do, but the days of capeshit hype are over

How much of the 2026 calendar is available for games? Everything after November is DOA since GTA6 is going to crush everything on its way, February is packed already and RE9 is getting all the attention for that month, Publishers have from March to October, with October probably locked for next COD I guess, then it's all about praying no more delays force them to be close to GTA6 launch

 

[Abysse]

The sky is clear for Crimson Desert.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Terrible news if you pre ordered, 007 first light I think is a victory for stealth/hitman/007 fans.

 

[mckmas8808]

The sky is clear for Crimson Desert.

When is this coming out?

 

[L*][*N*K]

Industry seems to be fleeing from March.

Why is that?

 

[phant0m]

I have a bad feeling this is going to be a flop, whenever it comes out.

Hope I'm wrong, but at least I got the Legacy Edition locked in for that sweet golden gun

 

[Neon Xenon]

Understandable. The frame rate drops in those showings did not look good, pre-release or not.

 

[phant0m]

People about to find out IO was only really good for Hitman.

eh, Freedom Fighters was pretty dope. Hidden gem of 6th gen for sure

 

[Abysse]

When is this coming out?

March 19.

I think they chose the wrong actor and overall direction for Bond. There's not a lot of appeal for a wet-behind-the-ears James Bond, because he is an aspirational character for dudes; everyone wants to be "that guy."

 

[blacktout]

For the better. I love what I'm seeing but technical part of the demonstrations was rough.

Exactly this. I really liked what I saw during the gameplay presentation, and I'm looking forward to the game, but it obviously needs extra time for polish. I'd rather they delay the game than punish everyone who buys day one, only to release a patch in a couple of months anyway.

 

[Luipadre]

Fuck i was looking forward to it. Oh well, more time to play marathon i guess

 

[FeastYoEyes]

Game kind of looks like a bore.

 

[Spukc]

[mckmas8808]

March 19.

Oh wow! Can't wait.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

This is a "wait for reviews" type of game. Everything they've shown makes it look like they're pissing all over the franchise with its tone.

If this releases in ma now and Wolverine is September...how would it be close? Specially for 2 single player games.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

It looks terrible lol.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

A gentle pat on the cheeks

Para que se quite.

 

[viveks86]

Why is that?

Men_in_Boxes => GaaS => Marathon!

tbf mindset needed way more than a 3 month delay. 3 years maybe.

 

[gerth666]

That's probably the best choice, there was so much coming out around the original launch.
Hopefully this gives it a really good chance to do very well

Yups, on one side it was good coz we imediatelly saw it was actual non doctored legit gameplay, on the other u could tell there is tons work left to be had, studio gonna need to crunch some srs hours, delay game even further or most likely both.

I'm guessing then you didn't enjoy Uncharted

 

[jshackles]

Y'know, you are 100 percent right. Maybe I'm the problem.

 

[CobraAB]

Delay?

Unheard of...

 

[rkofan87]

Y'know, you are 100 percent right. Maybe I'm the problem.

lol no I'm just saying the game looks like I'm tried to mix Hitman and you said the game looks boring so

 

[xVodevil]

This is 2nd right behind RE9 on my list for games to play next year. But oh well, I guess a small delay is fine.
