2015 is fine by me. I guess the people that wasted their money on a PS4/XB are boned, though. I wonder how much stuff actually slated for 2015 will slip into 2016, and which titles delayed for "early 2015" will have to be inevitably delayed until later in the year to avoid a crowd.

It always highly likely to be, I mean having "soon" in a trailer after having a stated date of Oct 14 should be about as telling of a delay as you'd need.

Man next year going to be amazing and this year going to be one of the worst .
So?
People keep saying this but AK was at the top of mine, and many others, list of games for the fall. Yeah there are other games, but it really sucks when one of your most anticipated gets delayed.
I remember seeing rumors of a trilogy for PS4/Xbone recently, maybe there was some truth to it after all.

No surprise there.. but I don't have to worry.. I don't have any current gen consoles yet.

I'm looking at the games I had pegged to pick up this year and now that is 5 x's on my list. I'm so disheartened, I don't even want to play watch dogs right now. I am 100% serious, I'm so disappointed. What is wrong with fucking industry culture. We'll get a damn date, and get innadated with a ton of pre-order garbage and then *delay*. Why even show the game? This culture of showing games too early is killing mindshare. Did everyone just watch the response watch dogs get and decide to announce their games as early as possible? Man, this was the last straw for me.

As I said before, there appears to be a massive drought from April until October.
It's retarded.
Well I was rather hyped for it and what time I did get of some hands-on was pretty awesome, but it's not really justifying keeping a console around that I can sell for a quick buck and then pick up next year for a much cheaper price tag. Hell, JB Hi-Fi in Australia is selling PS4 bundles right now for $598 and that comes with THREE AAA titles including Watch Dogs.
Mordor, AC, Dragon Age and Evil Within are all coming on PC, and my system seems to be more than capable of handling those so why bother? I'll keep trucking along until after E3, but I really can't see any games being announced for 2014 besides TLOU and maybe some indie games.

Destiny already slipped from spring to fall.

You know, I'm fine with that. They all have the potential to be quality titles.
However, I just hope that these 'delayed 2014' games don't end up being released fall 2015.
I'd rather see a steady stream of games released throughout the year (e.g. each month = big 'AAA' title).

It's not that they don't exist, but people seem to be pretty tired of cross platforms, since it holds back the possibilities of what we can see work, on the new hardware, and this gen seem to be stretching it quite a lot, this cross gen thing.
Not saying a cross gen game can't be good, but the excitement of a new hardware generation is reduced, when most of the games are coming out (in pretty much the same form) on much older hardware, too.
It feels like this generation is starting very slowly.
So i won't be buying new consoles to play games i can play on the hardware i've had for 8 years.
(nevermind the fact that I have a gaming PC, which is somewhat beyond the point).

Everyones gotta get into that fall.
Hope this helps Bayonetta 2 lord knows it'll need it.
You don't want to play a game that's out now because a different game got delayed? What in the fuck.

I'm unfortunately waiting on that news as well, though we'll probably get something next week on that front regardless of a delay or not.

This game was gonna be my reason to buy a PS4 this holiday. Now I can get a new iPad from Santa and then buy the PS4 when it becomes worth it for me

I don't want any of those.
After all these delays there's literally nothing announced for 2014 I want other than Wii U games.

I don't think he cared too much about playing the game in the first place.

It seemed a little obvious. I doubt WB was really going to release Shadow of Mordor and Arkham right next to each other.
Incidentally, I wonder if that game is next!

It's still a stupid and hyperbolic comment.

That's a bummer. At least there is still Destiny.... for now.

Sucks for some but its a relief for me as i just bought Arkham Origins two days ago, giving me time to enjoy it.

Glad I got a WiiU this year, at least
Sad that I waited for March 2014 to buy a PS4 when I shoulda waited for March 2015
In seriousness, this just means I've gained a free slot in the Gamefly queue for October, which was already packed
Haha no, that won't happen. Its already getting large amounts of gameplay and daily updates. It is coming.

Yes, I suppose. At this moment, I am too deflated with yet another broken promise to even play my PS4.

Well, more time to enjoy The Evil Within and Alien Isolation
.
Kinda glad I didn't get a PS4 yet. As far as the games I'm really looking forward to, this generation isn't really going to get started until next year.
Gonna be a great "destroy the backlog" year, though.
until they get delayed until 2015 as well...

Nope, 2015 is the new 2011 - there's new Witcher and new Batman! Now we only need new Deus Ex, and something Portal or Half Life related, and my favourite year is about to repeat itself
Also, damn this delay sucks. I know it can only get better with this delay, but still, I was hoping I can play new Arkham game this fall
Cross gen games look and run like shit on old consoles. They run and look great on new consoles.
If you have a gaming PC that's a valid argument, but I feel sorry for anyone torturing themselves by playing cross gen games on shitty old hardware.

I didn't say I wasn't going to play watch dogs ever again, I just don't feel like playing at this moment. WD is actually pretty great.

This holiday is getting more boring by the day.
Don't forget to mention Destiny! ^_^
It is I think 2016 but Batman games usually released November. The film should have a trailer by then and start the promotion work leading up to film release

While I understand the disappointment in losing a current gen title, I don't see why people are expecting a ton of non crossgen titles. Gen only just started and many of these games have been in development for a while.
Maybe it's just my PC gamer frustration talking, cause we sat on very powerful HW for some years now, but i really want to move on, and stop catering to 512mb RAM and whatnot.
Sure they run better, but when you build a game from the ground-up, knowing you'll have to retrofit it to 8 years old machines, it will influence your design.
So yeah, it matters to me, how many titles are cross platform and how long this practice keeps going.
Thankfully the attach rate of current gen consoles (minus WiiU, but it doesn't really factor in my argument in the first place) seems pretty good, so hopefully we can move on.

but there aren't a ton, there's even less than a few.

Probably because we just game off of a 8 year console generation and they're sick of last gen games even if they're up ported.
