A surprise, to be sure

Knew that "Ragnarok coming in 2021" was total BS during Sony's summer show last year.
All a hype job to sell systems and make 2021 look like it has more big name games than reality.

That's probably the bigger news in this
-God of War Ragnarök and GT7 are both PS4/PS5 titles.
Pretty expected tbh, at least in GT7s case.
I don't understand why they simply couldn't be upfront about this from the start. This will give them unnecessary bad press. This will lead to a new wave of those godawful "we believe in generations"-memes.

Luckily for them no one believed 2021 as soon as it was announced

Would even ask them to delay it to avoid clashing with Horizon FW for 2021 GOTY. Let them share more GOTY's

Can't say I'm surprised at all, but still bummed there's no Kratos this year.

I thought I heard it said that COVID didn't effect the game making wizards at Sony, but only Xbox.

This a Sony delay thread, not an Xbox derail thread.

You just didn't want to acknowledge it because you know its true. It was delayed in August, a few months before the release of the XSX.

They need more time to polish that PS4 version nobody wants to do a Cyberpunk

Horizon is literally the reason for the GoW delay. It's strong showing proved it could anchor their holiday lineup.
Tbf I don't believe it was ever slated for release this year. Neither by Guerrilla nor Sony to my knowledge.

A crazy expectation they put on themselves, likely knowing full well, it would lead to disappointment. They wanted the best Next gen presentation.

It was never 2021, we wanted you to buy a console.

Chip shortage happened
Hes not saying saying that God of War is a Cross gen title, he is just making a general assessment/principal. For Example in the same sentence he also said GT7. GT7 IS NOT a Cross Gen Game.
Edit: If true this would be highly disappointing.
2nd Edit: This is highly disappointing. This is an L Sony.

Chip shortage doesn't impact the development of these games. They have been in development since years back, if something is crossgen now it's been crossgen since start of development and they could've avoided this unnecessary bad press by simply saying
"Hey, well we have 100+ million PS4s out there and these games have been in development a couple of years targeting PS4 and PS5"
Done, bad PR avoided, clearing out confusion while still providing reasons for the games being cross gen. They haven't commited to all games from 1st party being crossgen like Xbox, but somehow they have managed to make their crossgen games a bigger deal than XGSs output. Completely unnecessary and completely avoidable.

Not surprising. Cool that they announced this before E3 so people know not to go in expecting a potential release this year.

Agreed, What I am saying is maybe they thought they could get good PR by saying "it's ps5 only", but after chip shortage, they decided to change that.
But it was clear from the start that the game was being developed for both ps4 and ps5.

GOW being delayed isn't too surprising, we haven't even seen a trailer yet. Damn, seeing GOW cross gen sucks though, same with GT7, not the end of the world. I mean they will still be awesome games just like Horizon will be, but they really could of went all out with just PS5 development.

And you know, Bend Studio is working on a very exciting new IP that they're very, very passionate about. They're building on the deep open-world systems that they developed with Days Gone. So I'm really happy for Bend Studio.
This deserves its own thread. Brand new open world IP from Bend Studio. The bad writers left so I think their new game will be far more successful.

They have Horizon. no way they would release 2 big games in the fall. it kinda makes sense.
Also. no one was expecting a 2021 release really. they showed nothing but a logo when Horizon got gameplay video a long time ago. God of war ok they didn't show anything but a logo and even the title of the game they are not sure about.

What on Earth makes you think that was the sum total of work done on it so far? The first game released years ago, and they surely had already begun work on the sequel at that point in some fashion. What a bizarre troll attempt.yeah I mean we saw a title card 7 months ago, god of war had to be finished by now…
That said, it was obvious this game wasn't hitting this year after seeing Horizon FW. They aren't going to pack two massive blockbusters into one quarter.
