well crap that sucks for me because so far my April looks like

Pokken Tournament
Quantum Break(maybe)
Dark Souls 3
Ratchet and Clank
Star Fox Zero
Mafia 3
Uncharted 4

Im so sad wanted to play it on persian new year

i have another theory what the reason behind all these delays could be. vr might push some decent additional numbers if there is software drought of normal games around it's release. 

Yes... just long enough for the aliens to rewrite everything in binary. 

I mean, it sounds like the game is done.  So, now the extra month will probably be spent on optimization.  What if they come back at launch and announce that everything is 60FPS on something sick like that. 

This really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, it was pretty much a certainty at this point.  They'd only just finished wrapping up the voice acting, what, a month ago?  Less than that?  It's actually surprising it's only being pushed back a month.

Of course they choose to release this right on top of an already pretty stacked April. Something tells me Ratchet's the one getting screwed in all this now, since nobody is going to pick Ratchet over Uncharted unless the movie absolutely takes off. Shame that yet again they choose to throw an Insomniac game out to die next to an Uncharted launch, since that's what helped kill ACiT.

But I sort of expected this. Druckmann and Straley aren't that good at scheduling. Still hoping they do the series justice and that their takeover of ND was for better and not worse. Either way I've got Libertalia edition preordeded

If the the game ended up being bad or unpolished people would say: why didn't they delay the game to release something finished?

But...
Dark Souls 3....
Ratchet and Clank...
Little free time...

They should stop giving final release dates if thoso dates are not really final. Just announce a release window and don't confirm a date untill you are sure... Stupid, naughty, naughty Dogs.

I will. Hopefully you will too

Let's face it though, doesn't make much of a difference. Every game in 2016 except huge multiplats and U4 is going to flop, schedule doesn't make a difference

It'll be the year of great games and many flops.

This has been a yearly trend (look at the lower barrier to enter NPD top 10 for instance, and the gap between that and the top places) and will keep getting worse

Greatest advantage of being IP of an First party is that they can push the game all year around and continue to sell.

I'm not expecting Nintendo game level life span, but it should last at least 6 month.
