E3 2017: That Post-Kojima ‘Metal Gear’ Game Will Not Release This Year

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Last Summer, Josh asked just what the hell was wrong with Konami after the reveal of Metal Gear Survive, a WTF-inducing Solid Snake and friends fighting zombies game that Hideo Kojima clearly had nothing to do with.

We’ve seen little else from the title since its reveal at GamesCom 2016, to the point where we’d almost forgotten that it even existed (leaving the world a slightly brighter place). It turns out, however, that the title is playable on the show floor amidst the giant lines at this year’s ongoing E3, but at this point the game will not be hitting your platform of choice until next year.p

Polygon learned earlier today that the development team requires a little more time to polish the game, and thus the title has been “pushed back a few months.” Naturally, Metal Gear games and delays are no stranger to one another — this game’s existence at all however, remains a mystery to all of us. What would it have been like to be a fly on the wall when this concept came up?

Forgot what it’s all about? Watch the reveal trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be picking this one up in early 2018.

‘South Park: The Fractured But Whole’ Gets Another Major Delay!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: So close, yet so far…

Ubisoft let us know back in September that South Park: The Fractured But Whole would not be making its original December release date, and would instead be launching sometime in Q1 of 2017.

The publisher took a moment during today’s earnings call to let us know that, once again the game won’t be making its planned release date. Last time around, they noted that “The development team wants to make sure the game experience meets the high expectations of fans and the additional time will help them achieve this goal,” while this time, Ubisoft simply let us know that the game will now release in the company’s next fiscal year. This means that we’ll see the title sometime between April 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018.

Josh was pretty excited about the title after its E3 showcase last year – the game even made his most anticipated games of 2017 list. After spending some time with The Stick of Truth late last year myself, I can see why fans may be disappointed, the game looks fantastic, hilarious, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

What are you going to play instead? Sound out below!

Watch A Gorgeous New Cinematic Trailer For ‘The Last Guardian’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I can barely believe that it’s finally almost here (and Shane still doesn’t believe it based on last night’s podcast), but we’re now barely a month away from Sony’s The Last Guardian, and after all these years of waiting I can’t wait to see what it’s finally all about.

Today, Sony debuted an incredibly gorgeous new cinematic trailer for the game, reminding us all just how close it is to releasing, while also throwing off some major ICO vibes.

I just really, really hope Trico doesn’t die…

Take a look at the trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think. The Last Guardian hits PS4 on December 6th!

The Last Guardian Gets Delayed To December.

by The_acz

Being a fan of Sony’s upcoming PS4 game The Last Guardian is suffering.

Announced way back in 2009 for the PS3, the project was revealed at that years E3, only to go dead silent for 6 years until being re-revealed at Sony’s now amazingly infamous E3 2015 of dreams. This year we got another trailer for the stunning game with a release date of October 25th 2016, a mere 6 weeks away. Suffice to say, fans were happy to finally play the game so soon. At least that’s what they thought.

In a post this morning on the official PlayStation Blog, Shuhei Yoshida posted that the development team needs just an extra month or two to make it the best game it can be. The game is now penned for a December 6th 2016 release. (Happy birthday to me!) You can read the update right here. Fans seem to be taking the delay pretty well as people have been more accepting of the delay than No Man’s Sky gate just a couple of months ago. What are your thoughts on the delay? Tell us in the comments below!

 

‘Final Fantasy XV’ Release Date Moved To November 29

by Natalie Kipper

Those counting down the days until Final Fantasy XV‘s release date will have to add a whole extra month to the pile. The game’s director Hajime Tabata announced in a Youtube video that the release would be pushed back until November 29, 2016. You can view the message from Mr. Tabata below (turn on Closed Captioning to see English subtitles).

Mr. Tabata mentioned that what was originally considered the “Master Version,” the game that solely existed on discs, had been completed. But he felt that, as it is, a Day-One patch would be necessary to get the most quality from the game. That would be unfair to fans who don’t have access to good quality internet connections. So the decision was made to push the release date back and incorporate everything that the patch would include on the initial disc release. That is not to say that the team wouldn’t consider patches and DLC for the future, however. Mr. Tabata also mentioned including “some extra things” in the initial release as well.

Mighty No. 9 Secretly Delayed Again?

by The_acz

This game is never coming out, is it? It seems like yet again fans and backers of the infamous Mighty No. 9 will have to continue to wait.

A couple of people have been tweeting out that they’ve been seeing advertisements in their local EB Games that say the spiritual successor will finally be making its way to store shelves this summer. When in summer? That’s still to be confirmed, but I’m pretty sure no one at this point would be surprised if it doesn’t come out around then either. The last time the game was publicly delayed was back around the beginning of the year when they stated the reasoning for the delay was due to troubles with the online modes matchmaking feature and the fact that they were using an outdated engine that was no longer supported. Are you still looking forward to Mighty No. 9? How many more delays do you think it’ll have before it comes out? Sound off in the comments below.

‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ Gets A Tiny Teaser, Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern Join Cast!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII is now filming.

Disney revealed the news today, noting new cast members, and showing off a quick teaser that features Rey and Luke together once again (right where we left them). It certainly had me reminiscing about The Force Awakens, and had me wondering if I should be headed to one last IMAX showing before the film leaves theatres.

The company also revealed that Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro, Academy Award nominee Laura Dern, and newcomer Kelly Marie Tran have joined the project.

As a huge fan of Johnson’s Brick and Looper, I could not be more excited for Star Wars: Episode VIII. Hell, after simply watching The Force Awakens, I could not be more excited for Episode VIII. Take a look at the teaser and full announcement below, and let us know who you’d like to see the new talent portray!

Star Wars: Episode VIII hits theatres on December 15th, 2017 (because of that delay, remember)!

Rey took her first steps into a larger world in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and will continue her epic journey with Finn, Poe, and Luke Skywalker in the next chapter of the continuing Star Wars saga, Star Wars: Episode VIII, which began principal photography at Pinewood Studios in London on February 15, 2016.

Star Wars: Episode VIII, which is written and directed by Rian Johnson and continues the storylines introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, welcomes back cast members Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis.  New cast members will include Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro, Academy Award nominee Laura Dern, and talented newcomer Kelly Marie Tran.

Star Wars: Episode VIII is produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman and executive produced by J.J. Abrams, Jason McGatlin, and Tom Karnowski. Joining the production crew will be some of the industry’s top talent, including Steve Yedlin (Director of Photography), Bob Ducsay (Editor), Rick Heinrichs (Production Designer), Peter Swords King (Hair and Make-Up Designer), and Mary Vernieu (US Casting Director). They will be joining returning crew members Pippa Anderson (Co-Producer, VP Post Production), Neal Scanlan (Creature & Droid FX Creative Supervisor), Michael Kaplan (Costume Designer), Jamie Wilkinson (Prop Master), Chris Corbould (SFX Supervisor), Rob Inch (Stunt Coordinator), Ben Morris (VFX Supervisor), and Nina Gold (UK Casting Director). 

Star Wars: Episode VIII is scheduled for release December 15, 2017. 

‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ Gets A Slight Delay!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: No!

We’re all still feeling an intense bout of Star Wars fever, and while we’re beyond excited for this year’s Star War Rogue One we’ll be waiting just a little longer for the next chapter in the saga’s main series.

The Rian Johnson directed Star Wars: Episode VIII was originally slated for May 26th, 2017, but will now hit theatres on December 15th, 2017.

Interestingly enough, this puts the release just 10 days before James Cameron’s Avatar sequel.

Here’s the official announcement from Disney:

Today, Disney and Lucasfilm announced that Star Wars: Episode VIII, originally scheduled for release in summer 2017, will now debut on December 15, 2017.

The move follows the extraordinary success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which was the first Star Wars movie to premiere outside the traditional summer blockbuster window and smashed numerous records, including biggest domestic and global debuts of all time as well as the biggest domestic second and third weekends, en route to becoming the highest grossing domestic release of all time with over $861.3 million and the third biggest global release ever with $1,886.7 billion.

Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Star Wars: Episode VIII is currently in preproduction and will begin principal photography in London next month. Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman will produce and J.J. Abrams, Jason McGatlin, and Tom Karnowski will executive produce. Stay tuned for exciting updates in the coming weeks.

What do you hope to see in Episode VIII?

The Launch Trailer For Ubisoft’s ‘Rainbow Six Siege’ Is Damned Cool!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Damned this is cool.

After an unfortunate delay earlier this year, Ubisoft has just debuted the official launch trailer for Rainbow Six Siege, which finally hits Xbox One, PS4, and PC on December 1st.

The game marks an ‘exciting, new approach to the first-person shooter experience that puts tactical combat and masterful destruction at the center of the action.’ In the game, you’ll ‘lead your team of unique Rainbow operators through tense and thrilling combat scenarios, and achieve victory through smart preparation and strategic improvisation.’

I’m all for a great first person shooter, and the tactical aspects of Siege certainly raise my interest for the title. I have no idea how the game slipped under my radar for so long, but I definitely want to check it out come December 1st.

Take a look at the Shakespearian trailer below, and let us know what you think!

‘Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’ Has Been… You Guessed It, Delayed!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Pretty much every time a huge game release gets delayed (which I believe is more often than not at this point), I ask myself why games even have release dates these days.

I sure hope that Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst’s delay wasn’t intended to get it out of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided‘s way, as the highly anticipated title (with the controversial pre-order campaign) has just been pushed back further into 2016.

Eidos-Montreal Head of Studio David Anfossi announced the ‘no compromise on quality’ delay today. Here’s the full statement:

As you may have already seen by reading and watching the many previews for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, our aim is for it to be a worthy successor to Human Revolution, and to improve upon that game in every way possible. I know that expectations are extremely high, and we not only want to meet those expectations, but exceed them.

 

We’re confident and proud of the game so far. However, as we are now playing through the game in full we can see that it will require more time in post-production for tuning, iterations, and refinement to meet our high standards. In order to achieve this, we need to move the release of the game to August 23rd, 2016.

 

We are sorry to disappoint you with this news, and also thank you for all of your support and comments. This game is a huge part of our lives, and we don’t want to compromise on its quality.

 

So please be patient with us a little longer, and thanks as always for your passion and support – through thick and thin. It’s a huge responsibility to work on Deus Ex Mankind Divided – we know, but also a huge privilege. We’re determined to deliver the best game we can.

The game was originally set to release along with Ubisoft’s Far Cry: Primal on February 23rd. This marks an entire half-year push, which should give the team plenty of time to polish the game, as well as another E3 to build even more astronomical hype for it.

I’m a huge Deus Ex fan, and I just want the game to be as good as it can be. If that means playing it six months later, so be it (though again, it feels like these release dates are never hit).

‘Rainbow Six Siege’ Is The Latest AAA Title To Be Delayed!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Sorry Shane O’Hare.

Our very own Brony, along with many of you readers, were eagerly anticipating the release of Rainbow Six Siege this October. Unfortunately, it looks like you’ll be waiting a little longer to take down those terrorists, as the game has been pushed from October 13th to December 1st.

Here’s what Ubisoft said about the delay:

“Whether it’s been through playtests in our studios, the closed alpha, or recent hands-on demos at events like E3 or Gamescom, player feedback has been essential to the development of Rainbow Six Siege. Getting the game in people’s hands and listening to what they have to say helps us understand how we can improve their experience, and we’d like to thank everyone who’s taken part in the process so far.’

 

“With that in mind, we’ve decided to push the release date of Rainbow Six Siege to December 1, 2015 for all regions. This wasn’t an easy decision, but based on the feedback we’ve received, and based on our own internal tests, we felt there are adjustments and improvements we can make, including improving the co-op experience across all game modes, weapon and gadget balancing, as well as menu and interface navigation. We’re taking a little more time to make these changes, and we think it’s the right call.’

 

“The closed beta for Rainbow Six Siege will still start on September 24, 2015 as planned, and the additional time will allow us to further test things like infrastructure and matchmaking. That extra testing and added polish will make for a higher-quality experience at launch.”

What will you be playing from October-December instead? As long as the game is better in the end, I’m okay with a delay like this, and it’s only a couple of months at least, right?

Me? I was probably never going to play this one, and instead transition right from Metal Gear Solid V to Fallout 4.

‘Driveclub’s Newest Trailer Is Jaw-Droppingly Gorgeous

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Five long months ago, Sony announced the official, final release date of their long-delayed social racer, Driveclub, and now we’re just a few days away from finally getting our hands on it.

Sure, we still don’t know how the game plays, but we’re well aware of how freaking gorgeous it looks. I’ve been watching loads of new footage for the game over the past few weeks, and there has been nary a video that hasn’t had me whispering ‘wow’ under my breath.

Sony has just released a new, ‘all action’ trailer for the game, and it features plenty of impressive accolades from a variety of publications. I’m very excited to give it a shot next Tuesday, and it’s pretty amazing that Playstation Plus members will get a huge chunk of the game for free.

Here’s what Evolution Studios Community Development Manager had to say about the upcoming release:

Can you believe that you’ll be able to get your hands on DRIVECLUB next week!?

 

Let’s celebrate with a brand new video showing some of the crazy action and racing you’ll get to experience at launch.

 

Besides sharing a new video with you, I’d also like to take this time to thank you for your amazing support and patience this year.

 

The Evo team has done everything possible to make your wait for DRIVECLUB worth it, and it’s the support we get from players that really spurs us on. Keep being awesome and enjoy the game!

 

Don’t forget, DRIVECLUB is eligible for automatic pre-load so if you’ve pre-ordered the game through PlayStation Store, you’ll be able to jump right in and start racing as soon as DRIVECLUB launches at Midnight Pacific.

 

PlayStation Plus members can pre-order the game now through PlayStation Store, or if you’d prefer a Blu-ray copy, we have lots of pre-order offers at participating retailers that will give you immediate access to supercars, exclusive livery designs, and a big Fame Point boost to get you ahead of the pack right off the line.

 

We’d love to keep hearing from you while we continue to bring updates to DRIVECLUB, so get in touch on Twitter and Facebook.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be joining the club.

‘DriveClub’ Still Looks Gorgeous, Now Has A Release Date!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: DriveClub just got a release date, and it’s not the early 2014 launch that gamers were hoping for.

Sony revealed the date of October 7th, 2014, with a trailer showing off some gorgeous new footage of the title.

Shuhei Yoshida, president of SCE Worldwide Studios said that:

We planned for the game to be ready for early 2014 and are committed to delivering on our ambitious promise of creating a truly innovative, socially connected racing game.

 

The problem with being ambitious is you have to be prepared to accept there will be challenges along the way. What DRIVECLUB offers has not been previously achieved in this category, and, because of this, the team needed more time to give you the game you’re waiting for.

 

In addition to the new date, we are also very pleased to announce that as of February 2014, Paul Rustchynsky — better known as Rushy — has been at the helm of DRIVECLUB as Game Director. We appreciate the announcement has come a little late, however we wanted to inform his appointment along with the new date announcement.

 

His experience when it comes to delivering racing games is impeccable. Previously Game Director on critically acclaimed MotorStorm RC, he has been an integral contributor to all major titles coming out of Evolution Studios since 2004. With Rushy in the lead, we know DRIVECLUB will deliver on its initial promise to be a truly next gen racing title for our PS4 portfolio.

 

We are really proud of the incredible work the team has produced — their tenacity and passionate pursuit of excellence is admirable, and DRIVECLUB will be all the better for it.

 

Your anticipation for the title since my last update has been a huge source of motivation for the team at Evolution Studios, and I know they are all extremely grateful for your continued support. Look out for plenty more news on DRIVECLUB in the coming weeks, including a blog update direct from Rushy tomorrow, and don’t forget, the date is in the trailer. I hope you enjoy watching it.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the game!

Sony’s ‘Driveclub’ Goes ‘Back To The Drawing Board’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Well, this isn’t good.

Right before the PS4 launch in November of last year, Sony announced that they were delaying their new IP and new flagship racer, Driveclub, into 2014.

IGN has just reported that Evolution Studios, the developer behind the Sony-owned title (and Sony’s earlier Motorstorm series), was going ‘back to the drawing board’ in order to turn Driveclub into something great.

Sony’s Scott Rhode said that “What I will say is that it all comes back to that fundamental principle, and that’s that we want to build great games. And we really don’t want to release a game before it’s ready. And sometimes, this happens in the normal course of business, where we think we’re on track to deliver what we think is going to be a great game, and when we get closer, we realize that we’d be doing everyone a disservice if we shipped it before it was ready.”

When asked if the game would still launch in calendar 2014, Rhode couldn’t comment.

What do you think of the news? With the Motorstorm team behind the title, you’d sure think they’d have something by now.

‘South Park: The Stick Of Truth’ Is Finally Coming, Watch 13 Minutes Of Gameplay!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Every time I see another trailer for South Park: The Stick of Truth, I get more and more excited for it… and then it gets delayed again. But now that the game has gone gold, and has an official, final release date of March 4th, you’re pretty well safe to get excited again. The game looks awesome, the dialogue is hilarious, the voice acting is perfect, and you’re basically inside of a freaking episode.

Today, Ubisoft debuted 13 minutes of new gameplay for the game, which shows our introduction to the new kid, and his introduction to the various residents of South Park. The video is well worth watching, and definitely gives us a great idea of what to expect from the title.

Take a look at the video below, and let us know what you think. South Park: The Stick of Truth will launch on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC on March 4th.

In their latest adventure, the boys embark on a quest to the Inn of the Giggling Donkey, an infamous tavern that harbors the scum of all the realm.

 

There, it is believed the famed Bard guards the hallowed stick of truth. In order to defeat the Bard’s followers, you’ll have to throw everything you have at the enemy, including dodge balls and farts. Poison your foes with your flatulence, and refill your mana with burritos.

 

Along with your party member Butters and his legendary hammer of justice, play through the most outrageous turn-based live-action role-playing adventure that could only come from the creators of South Park. This is South Park: The Stick of Truth.

‘Man Of Steel’ Sequel Pushed To 2016!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The Man of Steel sequel has just been delayed.

The film will now release on May 6th, 2016. This is just one week before X-Men: Apocalypse, and the same day as a still-unannounced Marvel movie.

Take a look at the announcement below, and let us know how you feel about the delay!

Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that the release of Zack Snyder’s untitled Superman/Batman film has been moved to May 6, 2016, allowing the filmmakers time to realize fully their vision, given the complex visual nature of the story. The decision was made following the shift of the start of production to second quarter of this year. The Studio has also set a July 17, 2015, worldwide release date for its as-yet-untitled all-new Peter Pan adventure. Joe Wright will direct the epic live-action film about the boy who would never grow up, created by J.M. Barrie. The dual date announcement was made by Dan Fellman, President, Domestic Distribution, and Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President, International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

‘South Park: The Stick Of Truth’ Delayed To 2014, New Gameplay Video Available Now!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Ubisoft’s long awaited RPG, South Park: The Stick of Truth, has been delayed to 2014.

It seems as though Ubisoft is having a hard time making release dates this year, as early last month the publisher delayed Watch Dogs to 2014, and also pushed The Crew back an entire quarter.

Ubisoft has also debuted a new gameplay video for the game, clocking in at a cool 7-minutes, and showing off some pretty fantastic-looking moments. I’m not a big South Park fan myself (the show is hilarious, I just haven’t made a point to watch it), but the game should definitely be worth checking out.

Take a look at the new video below, and let us know what you think! South Park: The Stick of Truth is now set to release on March 4th, 2014.

‘Driveclub’ Delayed To 2014

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following rumours earlier this week, Sony today confirmed that Driveclub would not be releasing with the Playstation 4.

This follows Ubisoft’s news of the Watch Dogs delay from a few days back, meaning that in less than one week, the Playstation 4 has lost two of its biggest games (and one of its few exclusives).

Driveclub was originally slated to release alongside the Playstation 4 on November 15th, and Playstation Plus members (a service which is required for online play on the PS4) were set to receive a stripped-down version of the game for free.

The game will now launch in 2014, and Playstation Plus members will instead receive Compulsion Games’ wonderful looking Contrast. Driveclub will be available to Playstation Plus members when the full game launches.

According to Sony, “We understand that the delay is disappointing news, but can assure you that the reason we have made this decision is to ensure that when DRIVECLUB launches, it will realize the next-gen racing vision. And PlayStation 4 gamers will have no shortage of titles to play this year. At launch alone, we have Killzone Shadow Fall, Knack, Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, FIFA 14, Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Battlefield 4 to name but a few, as well as the incredible list of indie games coming to PS4. A broad portfolio of games will be available on PS4 before the end of the year, and with games such as inFAMOUS Second Son, The Order 1886, Destiny, Watch Dogs and now DRIVECLUB coming next year, the strength of the software line-up on PS4 is unprecedented.”

Take a look at the trailer for Contrast below, and let us know what next-gen console you’ll be picking up!

‘Bioshock Infinite’ Delayed Again, Watch A New Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Bah. The one game that I seem to have been waiting for forever, has just been delayed again. Irrational Games’ insanely anticipated Bioshock Infinite has been pushed back once more, this time by another month. The new tentative release date is March 26, 2013 (the previous delay had it releasing February 26th, which is also my birthday!).

Of course, there’s a silver lining to every delay: though we’ll be waiting longer to finally get our hands on it, if the finished product is better for it, is the news really negative? As the great Shigeru Miyamoto stated: “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.”

In other Bioshock news, Spike TV’s 10th annual Video Game Awards aired last night (check out the winners here), and an AWESOME new trailer for the game was shown during the ceremony. Check it out below, and let us know what you think!

 

Are you excited for Bioshock Infinite? What did you think of the previous two games?

WB Moves ‘Gangster Squad’ From September To January

by Shawn Madden

Today Warner Bros. has confirmed that they will be moving Gangster Squad from September 7 to January 11, 2013. This comes after the recent shooting in Colorado in order to allow the filmmakers to excise a certain scene from movie that depicts the agents spraying machine-gun fire into a crowded movie theater from behind the screen.

They will be shooting an alternate murder spree scene that does not take place in a movie theater. They are hoping that the six months of breathing room will help return the focus to the L.A. mob storyline. Well, that and girls swooning over Ryan Gosling.

UPDATE: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Reboot Pushed Back to 2014

by Shawn Madden

For those who were looking forward to seeing the pizza loving turtles return to the big screen in 2013…I have bad news for you. THR is reporting that Paramount has decided to move the film back to 2014. This makes the third Paramount movie to get a massive delay.

Sources are claiming that the reason for the delay is due to the script which is being written by Kevin Eastman and Andre Nemec. Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans) is set to direct and the movie is being produced by Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes. Could this be like GI Joe: Retaliation where there is more to the story than is being told? I mean…what could be wrong with a TMNT script written by well…the creator?

UPDATE: Deadline is reporting now that Paramount pushed production back 10 weeks in order to cut the budget down $10-20M to $125 million. Also, the new release date is going to be May 16th, 2014.
