Platinum games said they're progressing faster than they thought. Plus shinobi hinted that we may get one of 2016 trio (Crackdown+PD+Scalebound) this year, and Scalebound looks like the best candidate.

We didn't get any gameplay for Sunset Overdrive until a month or two before E3 last year. It's not unprecedented.

Whatever they need to do to make it work. A shit launch is a shitty launch forever.
Someone should just post this anytime an anticipated game is delayed.
The quote's nice, and all, but that implies that the game is delayed until it's good. I think quite frequently delayed games eventually get released because they simply can't afford to delay them any longer!

A game that was already coming on One before they paid an amount of money, Halo 5, a F2P and another Forza.
Meanwhile, Q1/Q2 PS4 is Order 86, Tomorrow children, Bloodborne and maybe Rime.

Yes, some games can be easily fixed with patches, but why not release a polished experience from the get go instead of a broken game?
If the delay means a better game, I don't see any problem.

Remember when nktrnl stated this was supposedly launching in fall 2014?

If true, whether it's because they need more time or because it would be lost between all holiday releases, I think it's for the best that this game releases early next year. Xbone owners should be occupied with Tomb Raider and Halo 5, among other big games.
If it was slated for summer it would be more disappointing.

Don't do this.

Yeah, but, look at the sales for that game. 4 just months isn't enough time to build enough hype.

This is just some rumor yes? I see it a lot lately and I don't know why
With all the hints from MS guys plus what the insiders have said, GeoW Collection is pretty much confirmed coming this year.
Maybe they have a bomba announcement on E3 that Gears collection drops for everyone digitally the same day, and on store shelves within two weeks.
I don't think it works that way for new IP. Ass creed 9? Sure. Rush that shit since people will most likely buy it based on brand recognition. But for new IP you need to build trust and word of mouth, and if your game is broken it will hurt you.
I'd rather MS release its titles when they're done rather than unfinished just so they can have titles release before Fall.
I don't think either of those games are coming out this year, but I disagree that it would be too late to start showing them if they were coming out this year. There have been a number of games in recent years that came out in the fall and weren't shown until around E3 of the same year.

No, it's not that simple, there's plenty of examples of delayed games being mediocre or disappointing.
It mostly works for Nintendo though.

.Scalebound (Project Nagano) was said to be March 2016 by ntkrnl back when the huge leak happened.
EDIT: Oops, it was already brought up.

This was around the time of the switch to games games games compared to media and games, though. I'm guessing that QB got a major overhaul with this refocus.

FWIW, I've emailed Microsoft UK PR and Remedy's Oskari Hakkinen for responses.

It was actually Phantom Dust. Friend of mine at Microsoft said it had an internal release scheduled for November but, well we know what happened to them lol.

What was it man? The source for this info is wrong?
Delays, DLC, patches, all three boil down to 'spending more money'. And that's not always financially viable.
Well damn!
do you think the reception of the order may have scared them a little? if i was them i'd be more then panicked. the demo we saw a while back seemed quite similar. cinematic walking sections. QTE interaction. small doses of combat. i liked the order and loved the look of QB back then. but it's clearly an approach to making games the critics don't seem to be a fan of
This quote is old and while accurate at the time in terms of consoles, doesn't really hold up today thanks to the mentality of ship now and patch later.

I certainly hope not. I want Remedy to make the game they want to make. Hopefully they didn't get scared by the outlandish hate the press gave the Order.
FWIW, I would think it is far too along in development to be making sweeping changes like that, and I doubt the reception to a rival platform's game would sway them much.
Well then. Should update his twitter profile.

It must have been in really bad shape to can the dev team so far into development. I wish we knew more about what happened with that one, much like Stig's game at Santa Monica.
I'm half-expecting some form of "Assassin's Creed: Rogue: Remastered" as a stopgap for Ubisoft this year. Given it was quite well-recieved - certainly when compared to Unity - might serve to build some faith back into the franchise.
