This is odd considering they only announced the release date like maybe a month or two ago. Plus, having learned their lesson about announcing release dates early and we get a semi rushed product, you would think they would only announce the release date if they know they can make it. I know things can come up that are unexpected, but I'll wait till naughty dog officially announces the delay.

No..why would they do that :(. This will hurt the sales quite alot.

That is apparently not stopping Wonderful 101 or Bayonetta 2 lol

No like, Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 are made by Platinum which is a third party developer. Meanwhile The Last of Us is made by Naughty Dog which is a first party developer for Sony. :p

What does that have to do with those games? Those games have nothing on Last of Us and even though I am sure they'll be enjoyable, I believe they are second party exclusives published by Nintendo by Platinum Games. The Last of Us is an intellectual property of Sony and is made by an in house team.

Actually if you really think about it, Naughty Dawg is more like a 1.385th developer, so technically they can port their games to any console with a W,X, or any numbers in it's name. Thats from the official Naughty Dawg-Sony contract agreement that was signed in my presence seeing as how I work for Sonaughty Dawg.

Nobody buys games in June or July because they are all out on vacation and enjoying the summer. This may hurt the sales of the game.

What the hell are you talking about? Naughty Dog is not a second nor a third party developer. They havent done second party for Sony since the 90's. Sony expanded Naughty Dog and now they have two development teams within the same unit. One is for Uncharted and the other is for The Last of Us.

then I demand they make more post-pandemic versions!!! I was literally hours too late :(

Your sarcasm detector is in need of some major repair and/or upgrade.
