So you're arguing that plans can change (with how MP was confirmed part of the game at E3 '18 and isn't now), but at the same time you're arguing that plans can't change again?

Jason Schreier/Kotaku: The Last of Us Part II Delayed to Spring (May 29th 2020) [UPDATE: Confirmed by Naughty Dog]
- Thread starter Spectromixer
- Start date

So that's;
MLB: The Show 2020
Final Fantasy 7
The Last Of Us 2
Ghosts of Tsuchima
Persona 5 Royal
Nioh 2
Ironman
To send off the PS4.
Then Bluepoint's exclusive and another 2 or 3 extra exclusives probably set to open up with PlayStation 5 in November 2020.
That's a heck of a year, actually. I'd say even in contention to be one the strongest PlayStation line ups ever.
i know they had a team working on something, but i took that to mean it's going to be a separate multiplayer game, not a mode to be later added to tlou 2. so do you guys think they're just gonna merge the two games into one and that's the reason for the delay?
Didn't think that I would be that happy about a delay, but I am.
More time for FFVII Remake and Doom Eternal, unless those get (further) delays as well, lol.

What a broken line of thinking. The plans changed to make the game something completely different. This has been in the works since they started. I'm not going to argue the motivation behind it (although personally I believe they want to make some money off the standalone experience), but the point is they have definitively stated the MP they have been working on will NOT be a part of TLOU2. You can't undo something like that, they already have too much time and money invested in it, and it's already too large in scale to bring it back to TLOU2. I'm bookmarking these posts to serve up some crow.
This has me shook about other delays now
I thought FF7R was a lock, now I'm shook
the way i see it, the more games get delayed out of early next year, the more i will buy when the ps5 launches
Didnt Jim Ryan comfirm it? I dont think that is rumor territory.
I'm not surprised after reading about the development of Uncharted 4 in Blood and Pixels. The magic of making the game fun is underway with massive crunch but it just wasn't happening fast enough, hence they delay to May or June.
I think Ghosts and TLOU2 will just get PS5 enhancement patches instead of PS5 releases. Take2 won't pass up the opportunity to resell GTA V or RDR2 with minor PS5 updates for $60 though.

I get lynched everytime I point out the difference between a rumor and sources. If a well known publication says they have sources, it's not a rumor.
I mean, everyone with a working brain knew it was going to be delayed but it's so strange to delay it only one month after giving it a firm release date (which was after a year and a half of not seeing the game).
What in the world changed within 4 weeks?

Except that's not what Naughty Dog did?
they ported their own game as a remaster, released Uncharted 4, The Lost Legacy, and finishing with The Last of Us Part II.
Thats hardly anything to scoff at.
I feel like this site cuts ND an INSANE amount of slack. They consistently have multiple days to their games and people don't seem to mind. I mean to announce a release date to mass fanfare after over 1 year of complete radio silence and then to have to delay that release date ~ 1 month later? Can you imagine if someone like Kojima did that with DS? Lmao.
Why not? The original TLOU2 date was two weeks before FFVIIR, also a PS4 exclusive.
I don't personally think they are going to do that I think people are trying to attribute that to the delay. However it isn't out of the realm of possibility.
You'd have a point if ND released stinkers after delaying their games, but they're consistently releasing 90+ rated games because they delay them until they are ready. So that slack is well earned.
I could be wrong, but I feel like this is the quickest a game has been delayed after a release date was announced. I don't mind the delay, but now I feel like Cyberpunk will be delayed as well. Hopefully Final Fantasy VII can hit its current release date.
That's not too bad if so, bit longer than I'd expect, but probably a "well if we're delaying, lets get some breathing room from FF7 and CP2077". It opens up early next year too which is nice I guess and there's more then enough games to past the time. Doom or FF7, Cyberpunk and then TLoU 2 (with Nioh 2 probably landing somewhere in here too) would be a strong few months.
New release date announced
Doom is a multiplatform game, LoU2 is PS4/PS5 only. So perhaps Dooms PS4 sales would have suffered a bit.
I think this could hurt LoU2 release sales. People are by then more inclined to wait a bit longer to get the PS5 version.
Anyway more circumstantial that Sonys is a mess right now, like some articles and decisions in the past few month hinted.
maybe just maybe they dont wanna have to make the team kill themselves just to get the product out 'on time' and instead let them have the extra month or two?
just a thougth about the HUMAN BEINGS making it

That's fine, the more polish on the title the better. Gives me a good chance to clear some of my backlog as well.
I personally don't mind, but announcing a delay this soon after announcing a date is quite messy. You'd think they'd learn their lesson about announcing dates they are confident in after delaying Uncharted 4 three times.....
Eh, they can take all the time that they need. Just make sure it comes out great, Naughty Dog. But let's be honest, I'm not worried.
