The Order: 1886 Delayed Into 2015. [Stop talking about MS lineup]

No they're delayed till later.
If they did that for every big game then why would anybody buy a console? What we've seen with recent console launches is first parties telling bald-faced lies about their software slate to sucker people into buying a machine early.

Dude, with all due respect, Sony isn't giving us any reason to believe that there is a plethora or content (or any content for that matter) left to be unveiled for this year. OH and recent developments don't exactly bolster confidence of this either.

It's not a source but the game was indeed planned for 2014.
Agreed

I can't help but wonder what's coming out Holiday 2014. Uncharted? TLG?
they could always have it polished and released on time?
or not announce a release year until they know what the release year will be?
This makes me happy. It gives me more time to play the massive amount of amazing looking games coming out this Fall, and it will be a better game in the end. I prefer having first party games launch during the months of the year when third parties aren't really releasing anything, as it makes for a more well rounded year. Also, I am failing to see why a three or four month delay is such a big deal. Who cares if Sony doesn't have any huge first party exclusives this Fall anyway? The game would just get overshadowed by all of the huge well established franchises. People are weird.

How about competently developing a title and getting out polished and refined on time?
Believe it or not, this can be done.

So you're saying Sony are quaking in their boots after seeing Sunset and did the only thing they could do and delayed 1886 so it doesn't get outclassed by the far superior Sunset and are instead pinning their hopes on third party titles to save them?
"2014"
as games become way more expensive to create I really think exclusives are becoming less and less important. few devs can afford to take the risk
the only real advantage to be had by each platform is performance and the ecosystem
crazy prediction though: how nuts would it be if they announce The Last Guardian for 2014 for PS4?

When was the last time Sony announced a major exclusive on such short notice? I don't expect a major unnanounced AAA PS4 exclusive for this year. Sony fucked up with their release schedule.
2012 was an empty hole as well for the PS3, it had PSASBR as it's big fall game, then 2013 saw too many PS3 releases, it had a game from a major 1st party studio each month prior to PS4 launched+GT6 after the launch, and 2014 is back at being empty again.

They did have this in the press release last year IIRC:
And then there is this PS Blog entry that is updated regularly... I think?:

To make such a claim, I can assume you are in the game industry and have shipped a title? A lot of armchair analysts trying to explain something they have only a minimal understanding about.
GT6.

Rofl, there is only 1 exclusive coming up and that was supposed to be a launch game.
Oh yeah thats true, the way Sony handled that release was just weird.

You mean how Microsoft will try to do the same thing with their Halo collection?
Microsoft has Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, Halo collection and will rely on third party games like CoD and Battlfield.
Sony has DriveClub and The Last of Us and will lean on indies and third party games like Destiny and Assassins Creed.
And they both have a potentially stellar 2015 lineup.
I don't see the problem here.

As is the new GRID.
In any case, I expect we'll see it on current gen early/mid 2015.
Destiny, that's about it.
No I would have rather they increased the "man" power and got it done on time.

What exactly is "on time"? If they had not projected a release timeframe of Fall would you have still had said they weren't being competent by not getting it out in the busiest shopping season?

TLOU HD? Rime? Helldivers? Hohokum?
I agree... but that's still not something I'm willing to assume to be the case. I'm happy to hedge my bets before I grab my flaming torch and pitchfork.
Wait... really? People are complaining about a vague release date being pushed back, to another vague release date?
Did they even commit to a more specific window? Like... I dunno... Fall 2014 or Winter 2014? If they didn't even have the faith to be a little more specific, it really shouldn't be any surprise that there's delays.

Dude, that stuff is from last year's E3.
I think it is fairly obvious none of that is actually going to be accomplished, sadly.

I posted a few months ago about how I thought delays were becoming the rule rather than the exception and I was met with some resistance. I wonder if those people would agree with me now. This shit's getting ridiculous. I understand that delays happen and how they can benefit a game that needs work, but now that scenario is playing out for every damn game.
Ok I chuckled
Throwing more time always works?
It all ends up costing them money.

The problem being that Sony's retail game output is usually much better than Microsoft, and this fall MS will actually beat them if there are no further announcements. If you leave out the re-releases, and Horizon 2 is for real, Xbone has 2 new games, PS4 has 1 (delayed launch) game coming up.

Look let me be clear about this.
I'm not even talking so much about Ready At Dawn here, as I am Sony.
Sony has an obligation to its customers, who purchased their product to deliver regular content for it.
Sony up till now has clearly reneged in this promise. Sony should have planned out PS4's release schedule and better managed its games development to ensure that in the event of a unexpected delay, they were prepared for that contingency.
Clearly, their designs (if there ever even were any) have floundered.
They planned this title as a 2014 release. They should've known realistically if it was going to make it and if there was a strong chance that it wasn't, had something as a substitute for it.

That was kind of why I mentioned it to begin with. We didn't hear much (if anything) about those titles since then... but why wouldn't they be able to pull out those games at E3 this year?
Good, more time to work on games and make them as best as they can be is always great news. If only more publishers thought this way we wouldn't be in a sea of day one patches and completely broken online experiences that users wait months to be repaired.
Take the time you need, we have generations upon generations of games to catch up on.

Why do you keep ignoring third party games?
it's a better plan than "increasing the man power"
