PlayStation Website: Days Gone releasing in 2019 [Update: Confirmed]
- Thread starter The Bear
- Start date
One thing is certain. Sony are not hurting for upcoming exclusive titles. They can afford to space things out and give teams the time they need to work.
Eh, I doubt Sony lets Dreams have an entire month to itself. I don't think any of your September games means GoT can't launch in that month too.
Yeah, it is definitely a smart move business wise.
We go through this crap all the time. People jump to the quick hot-takes and pile on, and Sony just chugs along with their key moves and success all generation long. You think people would learn by now, that, y'all wrong, lol.
This.
It would be like saying Battlefield and CoD should not release in the same month, or hell, the same year.
Can people stop saying this? People buy multiple games of similar genre's in the same calendar year all the time.
If it's not going to be ready before about August then this is definitely for the best. They'll want to get this as far clear from RDR2 as possible.
They are adding a battle royal mode where every dead player resurrects as a Zombie - obviously.
He's joking, but I think Zhugex post indicate the game was delayed due to other games (probably rdr2) since they were aiming for 2018 and even then were ahead of schedule.
3 E3's isn't that long.
Imagine how the last guardian fans felt.
So it has to be early 2019, just like HZD was.
And, 2019 to Sony can be: Days Gone, Ghost Of Tsushima, The Last Of Us Part II and Death Stranding?

Days Gone has not been in full developmen for 7 years. Where are you pulling these numbers from? lol
Gold medal winner here.
If in fact true, I personally wouldn't mind. Sony has plenty of 1st party games coming out this year in God of Ear, Detroit, Spider-Man most likely and others.
No offense to Bend but they seem to be the studio who would need the most time to polish and make sure they get this title right.

I really don't know why Sony announces things so early but it's sure been working out for them.
Same, they likely just communicated that to their partners.
I guess it'll be early 2019. This makes me wonder when TLOU fits in, as I expected that in the summer of next year.
I worry it'll get lost in the shuffle if TLOU is close to it. I'm pretty sure they were aiming for this year, heh.
So I'm guessing this will come out around March/April 2019 a la God of War, Horizon, Uncharted 4, etc.
Also trying to avoid Red Dead as much as possible.
Alright. I buy it.

Seems legit. A delay is A-OK by me considering it's Bend's first real game on this scale. Let them take all the time they need rather than rushing it out the door.
I just hope it doesn't conflict with The Last of Us 2...

Well yeah, people tend to invest when they know good things are on the horizon, rather than not knowing what is coming or even if it will be supported.
From an outsider perspective, a studio's internal reasons for why it took so long between their previous project and their next project doesn't really matter.
Are there valid reasons why game X took so long to make? Most likely. Otherwise they would've been cancelled for poor project management.
But just because there's valid reasons doesn't change the fact that it's been 7 years between Bend's last game. There could've been any number of internal reboots or cancellations in-between, and the actual game dev was not 'that long'...
But it's still 7+ years to wait.
Because it gives people faith in the future of the platform.
That's why when they say they're going to stop announcing games so early, they're just lying because they have to stop until PS5 is announced. They did it last generation, they did it this generation, they will do it next generation.
I don't give a crap how long the game in particular has been in development. Their last game will be 7 years ago with this coming out in 2019. So whether they spent 1 or 3-4 years figuring out what game they were going to make, it doesn't change the fact they've done a bad job in making games consistently.
Saying that, I'll probs still pick it up lol
Nonsensical comparison. GG has released Killzone 3 in 2011, Killzone SF in 2013, and Horizon in 2017, 2 years before Days Gone. GG likely had a small team for a few years while making other games for people to play. Comparing the two is insulting.Seemed to work out well for Horizon.
I don't agree Sony is worried about diversity knowing what they can do, but I agree releasing 2 zombie games is sad.
Is there a part where making excuses on failed concept pitches somehow disputes my statements?
Days Gone has not been in development that long. According to an ex-employee they had several prototype pitches cancelled after Golden Abyss launched including another Uncharted Vita game and an Infamous Vita game among even more concept pitches.
So some years were spent on that before even coming up with the Days Gone pitch.
http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2015..._an_infamous_title_for_vita_but_it_got_zapped
That is a rumour of course.
Or they were simply caught in the Vita failure.
I really hope people would stop using this quote, because it isn't true at all
Edit: I'm an idiot. The post was meant to be a joke
Makes sense. We have three major retail games scheduled by summer, with Spiderman likely in the fall, and some combo of Concrete Genie, Medieval & Spyro timed exclusive to bolster the line-up. Rough guestimate would be Days Gone is their Spring 2019 game where Horizon & God Of War have been, and Ghost Of Tsushima in the fall, TLoU2 and so on beyond that. There is so much else going on with third party and software that will ship initially only on PS4 anyway, it doesn't make sense to ship anything earlier than need be.
That is a very different argument to make though. Who knows what Bend were prototyping earlier and why they decided to scrap those plans. Maybe we will find out more in the future. But saying Days Gone has been in development for 7+ years is factualy incorrect.
oh god, not another E3 with Days Gone -_- hope it's just a quick trailer with release date and then move on, or no show at all until PSX. We could use that time for new games or well, more interesting ones
Not only Sony is announcing games very early.
Microsoft did the same with Crackdown 3, Cuphead, Sea of Thieves or the cancelled game from Platinum.
Or Nintendo with MP4.
Remember that PlayStation commercial, that didn't show Days Gone as a 2018 title. Some of us thought it was a sign to suggest the game would be delayed, while others said "Sony just had too many games and couldn't fit all of them in the commercial". So if this new date of 2019 is correct, then I wonder if that commercial debate can now be put to rest.
So this is the first delay into 2019 correct? I'm expecting two, maybe even three more Sony exclusives to slip into 2019. Dreams I see releasing in early 2019 at best. Days gone maybe mid-2019. Ghosts will likely be end of 2020.
Edit:
I completely forgot about TLoU2! I can see that being a 2020 title with Ghosts, and no earlier.
