Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has been delayed to August 23, 2016, Square Enix has announced. The game had previously been due to release on February 23, 2016.
Well given how Spring is loaded with more games than this holiday season, it figures that some would eventually be pushed back to avoid getting lost in the shuffle.
Considering how Deus Ex: Human Revolution was very noticeably rushed to market however, I think giving Mankind Divided more time in the oven can only be a good thing. The game has looked great in every gameplay demo so far so even more care put into it on top of that can only be a good thing, right? It's certainly preferable to the alternative, at least.
It is a big delay, but I can see where they're coming with this, I'm all for a better more stable maybe more content complete game, a 6 months delay is plenty of time to get their game complete.
And on a personal note, Deus Ex: Human Revolution was for me one of the better games of the last generation, was really surprised at how good it was, wasn't anticipating that game at all (got it on Ps+), but i'm definitely anticipating this one.
That's weird if so, because I would have thought that they'd stick with Unreal Engine. It's bizarre how many franchises have moved away from that, and I have to wonder if it's even worth it.
Dishonored 2 won't be using Unreal Engine like the original game either, the developers for that are jumping over to IDTech 5/6 for the sequel, and I'm paranoid that so many developers jumping over to brand new tech rather than sticking with what they know is only going to cause problems down the line. It's particularly worrisome for me since Dishonored 2 and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are two of my most anticipated games.
Well for me I'm getting SF5 and Star Ocean though for Star Ocean I don't know if that date is set in stone or just the Japanese release date. I think XCOM 2 may have been delayed from February a bit too, could be wrong on that though. Anyways those are the only other games I'm personally looking forward to playing with a February release
This hurts. Deus Ex HR was one of my favs last gen. Was really excited for this. But I guess this'll give me a chance to through everything I have and will have come spring.
Holy smokes, I love it! Whenever a company delays a game, I'm actually extremely happy. This means they've realized there are issues and are willing to put in more time to fix those said issues. Kudos to them man. SE usually drops the ball, but this is some great news.
Didnt their infamous preorder program state the game would release 4 days early if enough people preordered? What would they have done/said if that target had been reached before they canned the preorder? Released it?
Last gen pretty much every game had a 2 to 3 year development cycle (few exceptions). Developer after developer are now learning that it's just not enough anymore. After Assassin's Creed Unity i think everyone took a mental note that don't force your game out half finished. I really don't mind, and it's looking like 2016 is a pretty evenly paced year. So it's nice to have games on those phantom months too.
This is good because i doubt anything else will release in August. DEHR also released around that time of year and it meant i could focus solely on that
I say take all the time you need. I want a complete game. I want as much content they can have in as possible. I bet if they released early that content that was "missing" would have been sold as DLC. that equates to a "yuck" from me. I'm a fan of Human Revolution and I bought that game 3 years after its release. I was planning on buying this one the day it came out to make up for it.
That's a big delay ;_;
Downgrading starts..................Again.
holy jesus polygon
I never asked for this.
Was reading over on GAF, that they're using the 'Hitman' engine and things aren't progressing as foreseen, hence the now 6 month delay.
