Lightning Strikes 04/02/20 2:46:50 PM #10:	Yeah there are two types of indefinitely and this is definitely just the "not yet final" variant, not the "don't get your hopes up" variant. If you're wondering what the definite release schedule for the next four months looks like for bigger games it is: April 10 FFVII Remake April 24 Trials of Mana April 28 Gears Tactics May 28 Minecraft Dungeons May 28 Shantae and the Seven Sirens May 29 Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition June 26 Ghost of Tsushima (This one is screaming delay) And some ports like The Wonderful 101, XCOM 2, Borderlands and Bioshock collections on Switch, The Outer Worlds on Switch, Death Stranding on PC, etc. After that you have Wasteland 3 at the end of August, Avengers and Cyberpunk in September and that's all. So there's stuff but if things carry on things could get really really dry in July. --- I just decided to change this sig.

GavsEvans123 04/02/20 6:08:06 PM #17:	I'm not surprised really. If any game was going to be delayed, it was this one. Releasing a game about a viral pandemic that has brought about the end of the world, when a viral pandemic is currently bringing about the end of the world in real life would be seen by some as tasteless and prompt cries of "Too soon!" Not to mention few are going to be in the mood to play it under the circumstances and have the means and disposable income to purchase it. In case you're wondering why Resident Evil 3 gets a pass, I think it's partly because it's a remake of a 20 year old game and therefore a known quantity, and partly because The Last of Us 2 is a lot more raw and gritty. Resi doesn't really dwell on the impact of the T Virus beyond it being the justification for creating the zombies. On the other hand, The Last of Us places a lot more emphasis on the downfall of society and the lengths Joel and Ellie go through to survive day-to-day life in the ruined world, as well as others less scrupulous than them. The Last of Us 2 goes even further, with gruesome violence that makes Mortal Kombat look like Spyro the Dragon, and is presented realistically and seriously enough that it's more difficult to desensitise yourself to it. The Last of Us 2 is shaping up to be one of the bleakest, most hopeless games ever made, which isn't what people want right now. On a more cynical note, Naughty Dog were starting to gain bad press again over crunch on this game, and the delay will give people a chance to forget about that and get hyped for the game again. <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:936668796] in Last of Us...
