The management issues are real bad it seems but not surprised by the delay. Confirming Nov 19 release a day ago adds insult to the injury though and gives the impression that no one knows anything in the studio.

Think this is the real reason for the delays. Like I said previously, a game this complex is a QA nightmare and consoles are really gonna struggle with this. Also explains the relatively short delay, which, failing certification again, would result in another one.

Makes sense, especially if factors outside their control, like certification, has contributed to this delay. Not sure if they should have controlled for that in their release date announcements but at least their public communication should support their official version and that's a problem on their end.

I be doing the big sad hehe TT.
On the brightside that guy on twitter actually got reached out by CD PROJEKT and he's super wholesome and said he was going to give away anything he got to charity and got a little bit of twitter fame off it. Dude seems really nice and genuine used it to promote some good causes and just have fun w/his twitter feed. His boss re-adjusted his time off!

ABOUT THE DELAY: "This situation is different" compared to previous changes to the deadline - the game for PC is ready and plays well on next-gen consoles and the company is finalizing the process concerning current gen consoles.

GAME ITSELF: "We are really sure we have something amazing in our hands" and once the game is released, "everyone will understand" why it was so difficult. "Don't get us wrong, we are kind of internally stressed on the one hand, but on the other we feel very strong about the game." and "We are super happy with what we will deliver."

lolol

Also, does a studio commonly refer to their work as amazing? Only time I've seen it is from people working at CDPR. If ex-staff does it, that's different. But people currently employed by the company constantly calling their game amazing prior to release is just lol. Even if it does turn out amazing, it's a really weird thing to say.

my anticipation and hype for the game has now turned into prayers and well wishes for the dev team to come out of this with their mental, physical and emotional health intact..

also I pray that people who go like "but no one is forcing them, and they get paid for overtime" and "they should feel super lucky to be working on this and shouldnt complain" develop some level of empathy.
The crunch burnout keeps effecting developers and their families long after the game has shipped.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
