Biggest Video Games Delayed to 2015

Christopher Buffa (Prima Games): There’s a good chance that at some point, you pre-ordered a video game that was set to release in a few short months, only to suffer a surprise delay that pushed it to the following year. Depending on the level of excitement you felt, watching helplessly as the publisher sent that game into limbo may have temporarily crushed your soul. Granted, we’ll bet there’s a backlog of games on your Steam account or in a neat unopened stack next to your console of choice. Regardless, delays are part of the virtual landscape and annoying all the same. At least on the positive side, the additional time gives developers a chance to make these titles even better, or the publisher wanted to avoid a cluttered holiday season.

No matter the reason, we’ve already seen a few 2014 games delayed to 2015, so on that note, here are some of the more high profile titles originally slated to arrive this holiday, only to wind up on next year’s calendar.

If it's not ready, don't launch it.That's the way it should be.Me personally,I prefer to play games from launch online and off with no probs.Just look at BF4,says it all.Launch when 100% period.

Wow, this is like an every day thing around here. Yes titles got delayed, that's been known for a long time now. One of my biggest titles is still coming and I hope it's great! I'm looking forward to the Evil Within

delays aren't the worst part of it. for me, having so many must-play games releasing so close together in early 2015 is biggest disappointment. "dyinglight", "witcher3", "the order" and "bloodborne" are all releasing within weeks of each other. I wish each games release was more spaced out. it doesn't make sense to me to cram so many big games together and take sales from each other and then go months without anything releasing.

Don't forget Batman, which will probably be the best seller out of all them.

nucky643973d ago

I played the first batman and loved it - never found time for the 2nd one....I heard/read that people weren't as happy with that one though. I think witcher3 could give it a run for sales too as it's a multiplat release.

Roccetarius3974d ago

You could cut out Dying Light, and prioritize the rest. There's a 90% chance that it's executed poorly, just like the other games.

Anyways, i don't mind the Witcher 3 delay so much, because i know it'll be a better game from CDPR.

nucky643974d ago

I don't mind the delays either - it means better games like you say.....I just wish the release dates were more spread out. there's even talk "everybody's going to the rapture" could be out around the same time as all of these other games! and who knows about games like "the witness", "rime", and "no mans sky"?
hey, I was thinking like you on dying light - but I hear now it's going to have 4 player mode, and I have a long-time zombie team from treyarchs cod games and we'll probably be getting this game to hook up and kill (or run away from) some zombos!

I always felt they announced batmans release window to soon. they should have just said it will be ready when it is ready.

I would also add Risk of Rain 2 as long as you don't stray too far from a power source as each run can be long as the hours melt away. Another thing to note is that based on the reports, the FPS may drop into the 40s if a lot of enemies are on the screen.

There is also the Half Life series. If you haven't played half-life before then you can do so now at the super low price.

Mafia was amazing looking and had a great story. Played flawlessly at 30fps as well without dips 99% of the time.

The same is true for Jedi Fallen Order

Sony games as also on sale. Picked up Rachet and Clank, cant wait to try it!
