So... wait, this is the bad news ZhugeEX mentioned? Not as bad as I thought... I thought maybe Ghost is PS5 Exclusive, or something.

Did I step into GameFAQs with these comments? Whining about people who liked multiplayer.
Nothing you wrote here makes sense. Projects get delayed all the time in the "real world". Also, software development is a chaotic, tough business where you're constantly out of time and every deadline is some form of compromise. For everyone - from small operations to friggin Apple. Last minute delays, feature-cuts or releases with known issues are not only common, they are practically expected.
This is literally nothing.
I'll ignore that last bit since you're obviously talking about yourself there.
Saying you're not a fanboy doesn't make you not a fanboy. The rest of your posts paint a clearly different picture.
Are you surprised?
If MP was the cause of this delay then it's now a day 1 buy for me lol, otherwise it's still a sale buy.
I would take TLOU2 over all of these games that next year is packed with - combined.
With that said, I'm ok with the delay. If they need it, they need it.
Yikes!!!
I can tell somebody isnt in the know.
Are you stuck in 2010 or something?
PS5 being PS5 will push the hardware. It will be selling out like PS4 was.
It was repeatedly said that the news wasn't a big deal and people would get over it quickly.
Meh.
If the game isn't ready then it is better to delay it. If they do end up adding MP then that's even better.

maybe he thinks the game will sell less if its released 3 months later than the date they revealed. idk
Didn't the original game come out in May too? I remember people being like "OMG WHY IS IT COMING OUT AT SUCH A BAD TIME OF YEAR" and then it sold super well and they went "...oh."
I thought it was early June, but that's right when people are getting wrapped up with school. I know it'll be at the end of my semester instead of at the beginning, which is great.
Naughty Dog doesn't operate in the real world confirmed.
I bet Sony wants to sell them!
Look guy, you can sit here and whine and moan to whoever will listen to you about the grand conspiracy of project management, even though several actual managers have come out in this thread and explained that this is a common occurrence in software development. So either you take their words to heart and actually learn something, or continue taking the intellectually false high road that you think you are on and trying to talk down to people. Your call champ.
Oh yea I don't doubt that for a minute. I think FFVII only sold something like 12 mil up until the PS4/Switch/Xbox rerelease, and the Last of Us went on to sell something like 18 mil. Since the dawn of the internet, people have been clamoring for FFVIIR and I think this game is gonna sell like crazy. Within the first few weeks I really thought that FFVIIR was going to dominate TLoU2.
This is the real world. Naughty Dog makes a ton of real money in the real world.
You're right, it was June 14th. Still, this is a good time of year for a Naughty Dog game. Uncharted 4 came out on May 10th!
Wonder if this is like the last delay from Final Fantasy XV where they delayed it for two months because they didn't want the build on the disc to just be a joke.
I don't mind the delay but it's a tiny bit annoying that it resurfaced after 18 months mere four weeks ago with a big release date trailer, hands-on Gameplay etc. and now it has already slipped. Game should be great though!

Very surprised to learn Naughty Dog operates from a parallel universe instead of the "real world."
No issues here. Plenty other games to fill the gap plus I want this to be the best it can be.
Death Stranding is November. Also, Concrete Genie and MediEvil are recent titles, too.
This happens all the time. They are going to get a lot less shit than if they released it broken so it's the right call. This is from someone who's company just released several of their software products broken. I'm getting more heat about shit not working as designed than I ever have about a delay for a feature release.
Is Naughty Dog doing this in an imaginary world where they aren't getting an earful from angry gamers who god forbid can't wait a little longer for a sequel to a game that is clearly defined as one of the best games of all time?
Also, I'm pretty sure people will be winning more than just "employee of the month" awards when this game releases.
The PS5 will push PS5 hardware by itself. PS5, and Scarlett will be sold out through the holiday season regardless of what games launch on them.
I know that there is some refinement of animations being done. A lot of the work was wrapped up but I can't remember the exact reason why.
I guess ND doesn't operate in the "real world" now and Sony will soon be selling them lol.
True, but that could mean anything these days. People rant for days and days over little things, then get over big things in a couple. People are funny.
I think the Epic Games Store refund stuff for Shenmue 3 is a little thing that there's always complaints over (maybe it's a big issue for some I guess), yet big issues like certain devs abusing workers and we get hyped over their next game shows we're over our concern for workers well-being, or maybe it's a bigger issue for some, more than others.
With all that said, I thought this news could've been anything.
