Given that the delay is for economic reasons... not sure it's a smart move. No one will have more free time than now. If anything i would push the release forward by 2 weeks

Dont get why, this epidemic has been a blessing in disguise for videogames.

It's delayed because of the challenges of printing, shipping and selling physical games atm.

It's not as simple as some of you think it is.

tbh i know TLOU is a bigger name and sells more physically but Doom is doing quite well despite the epidemic, I think with the current situation we're in online sells could offset the loss of physical sells.

Considering the extortionate prices on PSN for any new game, i am not so sure.

Resi 3 on psn £50. Got it in asda for £39.99

Just release it as download only at first. It should be fine unless the game is absolutely massive.

Is that fair on the millions of game stores around the world?

More like the millions of people are don't have good internet.

Again it isn't that simple.

95% of video game revenues come from the North America, Western Europe & East Asia. All of these regions have decent enough access to the internet across the board, at least for people that are interested in gaming.

Speaking from a strictly financial point of view, do they stand more to lose by the 5% that don't have access to internet or to sell to the 95% that are a captive audience and are looking for new ways to entertain themselves in isolation?

Most indie game stores are dead unfortunately, at least in this corner of the world. No sympathy for the likes of Amazon.

Releasing on June 19th.

Also the there's been a massive leak. Leaked dev build of the game got uploaded on Youtube. All story cutscenes and debug menu showing full scope of the game got uploaded online. Be careful of spoilers.

Smh

Ufff thought i'd have to buy ps5 just for this one game, glad its coming out now

Naughty Dog has been a shit studio for workers for years. It was bound to happen. Apparently the employee was worked like a dog and naughty dog refused to pay him. Don't blame him for this but it kinda sucks for the other employees who worked hard on this.


Saw the leaks though. The story makes S8 of GOT a masterpiece compared to this I really hope it's fake.

You keep hearing about top devs treating their ppl like shit and how the pay is ass as a game dev

Oh fuck. Really doubt it's fake, this is very discouraging to read.

Downgraded from Day 1 to "wait for reviews". First game is a masterpiece, didn't need a sequel.

I think this is gonna be a Metacritic 94 user score 44 type game seeing the reactions from the leaks.

Keep in mind, reading leaks and actually seeing what happens is different. I remember when Endgame leaked everyone was saying how shit it is, I turned off the internet and saw the movie and figured whatever people had read was fake. Turns out it was 100% legit and it looked way better on screen than reading it. Stuff like the Captain America ending, Black Widow dying and the whole alternate timelines sounded terrible on paper. TLOU1 had a pretty predictable story but the execution of it was brilliant and made the game a classic.

GOT S8 is proof of the opposite though. Was more terrible than anyone predicted from leaks. I'll never forgive D&D for it. Remember around this time last year I was arguing with the WriteWatch on GL vehemently defending the show till the last breath. Would rather go back to that time than this fucking corona year.

It's a Naughty Dog game, there's no way in hell the story will be bad.

Don't really care what the leaks say, you can't possibly know until you play it anyway.

But I'll ignore everything surrounding it until release, i have zero interest in spoiling myself.

Absolutely do not open the link or tweets.

I do regret tweeting a Take on this earlier when we didn't actually know whether it was a ND employee (serves me right for reacting to Twitter) but some of the claims don't add up. ND has real issues (ones I've covered a lot) but they actually gave contractors extra pay for covid

Interesting. If not an employee then who?
