Delay Bandwagon: List of Video Games Delayed to 2015

Nerdacy: "It has become customary to announce a game about one year in advance and then delay it another year so gamers can prepare themselves mentally to either be let down or completely wowed. It is good that publishers are allowing developers to continue working on their games so they can be truly completed when gamers purhcase them. The problem is, though, that there are simply too many developers delaying games these days. Here is a list of the major delays that have occurred in the recent months."

DonDon3616d ago

Need games NOW--I mean like this summer/Fall. I'm getting bored. Watchdogs is alright (IMO), Wolfenstein might be good but FPS games are getting on my nerves.

Destiny doesn't have me excited yet. Here's hoping Driveclub and Deep Down aren't delayed AGAIN. I'm bored to tears. That's why i'm on n4g instead of playing atm.

UltimateMaster3616d ago

Bayonetta 2 and X might actually be some of the best games to look forward to this year aside Remastered Games.

medman3615d ago

@dondon
Do yourself a favor and pick up Child of Light and Transistor.

Skate-AK3616d ago

Those are all the games I want haha. At least there will be Driveclub.

Relientk773616d ago

I hope theres some AAA titles for 2014, most of the games I want are 2015 and TBA

Palitera3616d ago (Edited 3616d ago )

Again, there is no delay.
The games are being announced with fake release dates to generate hype and buzz.

Do you remember that announcement for a Del Toro game? Do you remember the hype, how we discussed it everyday?

Exactly. No one cared. Maybe because it was announced for a 3 years later release?

Today it would have had a teaser for the announcement of the twitter where you'd do the contest to know the date of the embargo lift for the fake release date.

And then, six months before it, the true release date would appear.

-

You can also believe that most AAA games being delayed is simply a coincidence, not money talking and marketing... Surely.

Summons753616d ago

The DelToro game got canned by THQ, that's why nobody talks about it...

Yui_Suzumiya3616d ago

Actually InSane is supposedly still in the pipeline but just doesn't have a publisher.

TheWackyMan3616d ago

They should have just released the consoles in 2014. If you want a next gen system, get a Wii U, it has the largest library of worthwhile games out of the three consoles right now.

Blackleg-sanji3616d ago

i actually agree could have waited to buy my ps4 hype caught me although i bought the wiiU at launch to.(bad idea as well)

TheWackyMan3616d ago

Same here, I bought the Wii U at launch and regretted it immensely. if they had waited until fall 2014 to launch PS4 and Xbone, all of the launch games would be more polished and ready to go, and you would have had infamous second son and driveclub at launch.

AceBlazer133616d ago

So the lesson is, no consoles at launch. I'd probably still buy the PS5 and any other console I'm interested in at launch though, I just love the feeling of having it b4 everyone else.

Bennibop3616d ago

Have not been disappointed with my ps4 purchase has at least been a aaa game a month plus indies to keep me occupied ( have been playing games more thoroughly too.) after dead rising 3 and a week of titanfall I barely play on x1 and there does not seem like much I am going to be interested in until 2015 as will buy multiplats on ps4.

ginsunuva3616d ago

There is no "they."

If Sony waited, MS wouldve done fall 2013 to get a sale headstart, and vice-versa.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein6d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

Yi-Long5d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius4d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius4d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave18d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan18d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

Read Full Story >>

GamerRN38d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit38d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead38d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica37d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL37d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit37d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper37d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica36d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer38d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit38d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer38d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit37d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218338d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer38d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218337d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper37d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal38d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood38d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218337d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde38d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
