Let ND take their time. A game this promising does not need to be rushed. As agonising as the wait is, the final product will be all the better for it.
Don't hit me but ... maybe like RayMan they're delaying the it so it can release on all platforms at the same time? First thing that popped into my head when I read the headline.
This game will not be big enough here in las vegss to do a midnight at any of gamestops 45 locations. Gamestop is cutting back and even deadspace three which is multi didnt make the cut.
Probably they're trying to resolve the "listen" feature which is the ONLY negative aspect that is being noted by both the media and comments. Something ND is very aware of. Almost unanimously everyone agrees that it kills whatever immersion the game tries to set up. Not to mention the split opinions on HUD. I guess was it deeply implemented into the code and it would take a lot of time to redesign the concept.
I have beem hoping for a good summer game for so long!
It makes sense. Microsoft will use E3 to announce. This will take some of that away and remind ppl how commited Sony is to games. Also, GoW needs room to shine and GTA5 has made it possible to make money in June this year. I cant wait. Its uniqueness may be pseudo launching point for Sony's next gen console and trajectory.
Maybe ND planned the beta for April(Can't be in March since thats God of War's month) and wanted more time to fix any issues people may have with it before the release of the full version..
Not to be too much of a stickler, but the original date was May 7th. If true, this would be a 6 week delay.
Edit: Best Buy and Amazon are still showing the original release date. In the case of a delay, does anyone know what the gap usually is between the time pre-order customers are notified and when the info is altered on site?
Damn, my birthday is May 20th... was really hoping to be enjoying this on my bday! Im disappointed... but ND are my most fav. devs this gen. I can rest assured I'll be playing a quality product when all is said/done!
haha you are damn clever my friend!... saddly being the manager and only person that does my job, I feel paranoid of not being at work for the sole reason other people will leave it in shambles for me when I get back lol.
I work a lot which is sad, but at the same time I just try to appreciate the fact I do have a job/money when most people would be so fortunate to be in my position. I definatley feel blessed!
Sorry off subject lol. If I can break away from work decent enough... I'll take you up on your idea for sure!
Sad news but I am happy they are delaying the game to make it better rather than releasing it early and fixing it with patches. Seems like they would care more for their fans by doing this (If true). One of the problems with Uncharted 3, as stated by co-president Evan Wells, was that they felt forced to finish Uncharted 3 by it's release date and the fact that they announced the release date a year out, "The minute we saw the date on screen we were like, man, I really regret that." It's better that Sony spreads their exclusives out farther apart and that they give Naughty Dog their acquired time to complete the game.
Same here, already started coughing at work, guess we'll have a few extra weeks to work on our clicking. I can already distinguish my fridge from my woodchipper.
Their only good game? No one will care? Are you high or something? Summer time is the one time when new games are most scarce. That means LTOU will be one of the few games launching and it won't have any strong competition. Translation, more sales for LTOU. Please if you have nothing constructive to add,just don't say anything at all.
lol so true, and these idiots think there are better games on this poor system? I actually meant their only game worth mentioning retards.
"That one game literally craps on any game on your favorite system or by your fav. company in the last twenty years. Megaman lol bwahhhh go back to your troll cave to play "Its me marioooo" Same old stale games smh lol"
lol how exactly do you know what i like? just because i dont waste $60 on some shit game and systems doesn't mean anything. Sonys games are like bad movies you pretty much only pay attention to them once and never again.
P.S : Speaking of mario it happens to be a proven game that actually sells millions if you know what that means, and all the last of us is a poor mans uncharted which is a ripoff of another successful game that I'll let you think about.

I got the same email from best buy this morning, thought it was odd since I didn't see anything about it on gaming sites, but now gamestop changed the date too, I think it's real
We still have no idea what the MP for this game is... it might make room for a beta/demo
Also a nice bit of room for me
Since Im getting MGR, Bioshock Infinite, Injustice, God of war... so yeah a nice break so I can have something to play over the summer
And the delay is not as bad as Bioshock Infinite.... I want that game so bad
Still....the wait is excruciating.
Please dont let this be true OR only be true for the US, not EU
like Rayman Legends
just kidding...

polishing up the game/multiplayer is the more likely situation.
I'm looking forward for the X720 and guess what i will be buying TLOU first day also.
Just kidding ;P. Bioshock Infinite/GoW/Storm 3 will keep me busy.

First the business might come crumbling down, unable to function and go bankrupt without him.
The second is, it might not.
...okay, its okay. Its only an extra month. I can wait, I think.
NOTHING IS OKAAAAAAAY!!
My birthday is May 7th and I already feel like I'm going to be "sick", or infected is maybe a better word.
then time will go faster for e3 =)
I'll wait for an official announcement from Sony or Naughty Dog before jumping the bandwagon.

Not only neither Sony or naughty Dog has ever confirmed it, but no other retailers made any changes in the date.
Remember how well Infamous 2 did when they decided to release it in June? It tanked.
