I never had a single doubt that they would delay the game into 2019. Who wouldn't when Spiderman and RDR2 will be dominating throughout the last quarter. Not to mention the new BF and COD...

Edit: More time to polish it even further then...

Stop it with the spiderman

Dark_Knightmare22172d ago

@yep414 why should he stop it Spider-Man is a huge brand and the game is going to be huge. You’re just fooling yourself if you believe otherwise

sprinterboy2172d ago

Although I agree it's best for the delay, I still think this underrated gem would still sell to the people who have played and bought the other games in the series.
It still astounds me that metro last light sold less than a million in physical copies. One of the best franchises for story telling and atmosphere in the last 20yrs imo. If you liked half life or Stalker series you should definitely play the previous games. I'd go as far to say why bother playing metro if you haven't played or at least read the books.

Spidey is a clown. Send in wolverine!

@ UltraNova

That thinking is a big mistake my friend, Christmas money, it's the perfect time to get sales.. Instead of buying a console, gamers will be buying games.... A lot of games, and getting games as a gift.
--> Why would you move to a time when Gamers have dried up there funds... you really think the gamers who bought -

The New Assassin Creed,
Rage 2,
Battlefield V,
Battlefield Bad Company 3
COD Black Ops IIII,
COD MW42 Remaster
Red Dead Redemption 2,
GTA V DLC,
Spiderman 2018,
The Division 2,
The Last Of Us 2,

are going to have money left over to buy games in march 2019.... LoL -They won't even remember your game is launching.
(Even if they don't get the whole list the average gamer is getting 5 games this fall)
So if your game is not launching in 2018 your in the worst time frame ever for your game.. Early 2019 games are in trouble... I wish them the best but I can't see how that new Launch date is going to be a good thing...

Not to mention this game list for fall 2018 is so big I will have to balance time and games, because there is not enough time to get to all these games, so I probably won't be buying more games until fall of 2019... LoL

Crazyglues2172d ago (Edited 2172d ago )

All these disagrees, but your wrong, how in the world is March not a death trap... of course launching with everyone else is not the best time, but launching later will be worst... Tell me how that's not true, who is going to stop playing COD or Battlefield to pick up new games in March..? Come on let's be serious for a second..

At least if you launch with the big dogs you have a chance of being picked up because of extra funds for the holidays, and don't get me wrong the die hard fans of the game are getting it either way, I'm talking about the casuals, they are not stopping there stock pile of games from the holidays to pick up this in March..? Tell me how I am wrong?

UnHoly_One2172d ago

I don't think every game needs to try to avoid RDR 2 and Spiderman.

It's just silly to think that those games are going to cut into sales of a completely different type of game.

I guarantee you there are plenty of Metro fans that couldn't give 2 craps about Spiderman or RDR.

And plenty of people that would buy all 3 of them.

UltraNova2171d ago

@crazy and unholy

Remember Titanfall 2? Specifically, remember when EA decided to release it near BF1 and COD? Now apply that lesson (apparently one that you both never learned) to Metro-an FPS- getting released along with BF and COD and don't forget to think like a dev- risking their hide- would, not like a risk free gamer sitting on his couch commenting on N4G while eating Doritos.

It hasn't even been a day since I was talking about people's short memories...

I think this is good news for potential sales. A game like this needs to get media and fan attention but that most likely can't happen during fall 2018 when you have so many AAA games

With recent success of games Launching early in the years and doing well, hopefully this will prove to publishers if your game is good it will sell well you don't need to just focus on holiday Season

I expect few more delays just because of RDR2 and its potential impact

TheColbertinator2172d ago

Too many games in the fall so this works for me. Delays are a good idea sometimes and I wish more gamers understood that.

So far in 2018, I've only purchased two games.. Far Cry 5 and God of War.. not through lack of funds. Both great games. Bitterly disappointed about delay of Metro Exodus to 2019, along with Days Gone, and now the more likely delay of Borderlands 3 to 2019 too. What we are left with are the annual COD, Fifa, and regular new Battlefield incarnation, plus Red Dead Redemption 2, Tomb Raider, Spiderman (hope its not QTE riddled), Dreams. I'm praying that RDR2 has a more involved and interesting open world than the original. I'm hoping that Biomutant and Kingdom Hearts 3 get a 2018 release, and that Crackdown 3 lives up to its promise. Bar any genuine surprises at E3, its looking quite lean for this years releases for me. Roll on 2019..

Metro Video Game Series: A Comprehensive History

The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.

TheBrainZ79d ago

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco3379d ago

Yeah, Exodus just didn't grab me either, sadly.

I absolutely loved 2033 and Last Light, however. Played them both on 360 and then again with the remasters!

anast79d ago

I just started it and it is already miles better than the first 2 which are dated.

I put about 50 hours into playing Sparkle Unleashed.

SurgicalMenace457d ago

Sparkle is a very addictive experience.

Babadook7457d ago (Edited 457d ago )

Nice reminder.

I added Vice City and Metro Exodus.

Mr Logic457d ago

It doesn't work like that. Extra works just like Gamepass or Netflix. Once the game is gone from Extra, then you can't play it. It does not function like regular PS+ where you "claim" the game and then can play it in perpetuity as long as you have an active account.

Knushwood Butt457d ago

Yep, I confirmed this with RDR2 a couple of months ago.

CobraKai456d ago

Is there an average life span for a game before it gets removed? I have a few games on GP I started but couldn’t finish cuz they’re gone. Now there’s this feeling of having to playthrough games before they go. I shoulda just bought em outright.

jznrpg456d ago

6 days is enough time for for Metro . Probably not for Vice City though I’ve never played it

Pedrof456d ago

Guess I'll hurry on playing Saint's Row 3 Remastered.

MONOLITHICIDE456d ago

How come content gets removed? Also why are there barely and ps1 ps2 ps3 games on there.

Smitty2020456d ago

Wish they would just add more classics

jznrpg456d ago (Edited 456d ago )

I believe they want trophy support before they put it on the service so they have to patch them in first .
I hope they do get the best jRPGs of PS1/2, actually just about all JRPGS would be my preference but that’s asking a lot especially since they don’t own many of the IPs. They do own IP they haven’t put on it yet . The service is new so there is still hope for more .
Unfortunately it’s very possible we are the minority who want old games on the service and mainstream want PS4/5 games mainly is my guess.
I am going to post wherever I can and let Sony know many of us older fans want a lot more PS1/2 games on the service or even just to purchase would be fine with me but preferably both .
Hopefully they do more games like they did Arc the Lad , Rogue Galaxy , Dark Cloud 1&2 , Okage etc . But I agree they need more .
I only want the old games with trophies as I’m sure I own just about everything I would want to play but my versions don’t have trophies.
