The Last of Us Part II delayed "until further notice"

yusuo · Apr 2, 2020

Fuck, fuck, fuck. I was looking forward to this. And now I'm sad.

Fuck you Coronavirus, killing people, delaying games. Prick

chrisrlink · Apr 2, 2020

at least FF7R is out at least in europe/austirailia

prism_ · Apr 2, 2020

to be honest I was just waiting for them to announce The delay..

DANTENDO · Apr 2, 2020

though i think most people would accept a digital version

masagrator · Apr 2, 2020

So now we know next PS5 start title.

Fugelmir · Apr 2, 2020

They're just finding inspiration in the real world to make the dlc even more captivating

Andy2001 · Apr 2, 2020

Our expectations were low, BUT HOLY FUCK!

Tom Bombadildo · Apr 2, 2020

Sounds like an excuse to keep working on the game more than anything, seeing how digital distribution, y'know, exists.

Dunno why they couldn't just say "We wanted to work more on the game, sorry", but eh whatever floats their boat I guess?

masagrator · Apr 2, 2020

I see some people don't see one thing.

This is SIE decision to postpone release, not developers.

BREAKING: Sony is delaying The Last of Us II indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. A Naughty Dog source tells me the game is basically done, and this decision was made purely for economic/logistical reasons https://t.co/W2pRJ3TXmV

really understandable, yet promising to not delay it ala naughty dog style like uncharted, anouncing it for february just to delay it a few days after the announcement... and now again a delay. should've just done as Neil said originally, announce the damn release date when you are 100% sure about it.

I mean I'm glad, they can work without the crunch now, and I'm damn sure it'll be a masterpiece once it's out, yet it low-key kills (at least my) excitement for the game itself, delay after delay.

Just delay it into a dumpster. There's no fixing the story after they trashed it at the end of the first game.

Chary · Apr 2, 2020

With how many other good games are releasing left and right, I'm not bothered at all by this delay. Just means more time to dedicate to P5R, FFVIIR, and Animal Crossing.

When this is all over, I'll teach you how to play the guitar.

I'll never get over just how fugly that box art is.

warweeny · Apr 2, 2020

Since it is sony and not naughtydog, i expect the following reason:

Game is delayed because physical stores are close due to zombie virus.
Hence the sales will tank significantly and they lose more money in the long run and release when everything is open again.

It is a business decision, nothing more, nothing less.
And i agree with them tbh, sure game is delayed, and that sucks for people who were looking forward to the game, but in reality, customers do not matter, sales do. This is with every company, not just sony mind you.

Think about it. Most people (in the USA at least) are on lockdown/without work right now. All these people are going to want to save as much money as they can to pay rent, buy food, essential supplies, etc., for the next couple of months. If they release the game in may. Not as many people will buy it, than releasing it ay any other time. Most games make the biggest splash on release when the hype is high and a billion websites talk about the game.

The issue is not how to get the game on your PS4 but how many people will make the decision to pay $60 for the game when they are barely scraping by.

more like to shift it over to ps5 too

DANTENDO · Apr 2, 2020

This bundled with a ps5 and free year to ps plus then sony wins Christmas

Jayro · Apr 2, 2020

Well that's the last delay of this for me, I'm straight-up shoplifting this game now. Keep delaying this game, and I'll steal enough copies to make into houses for the homeless.
