Watch Dogs has been delayed

[antijoke]

Can't help but think this is a combined problem of launching over too many platforms and also GYA V showing them up.

Should have always been a PC/ next gen only game.

 

[Huggie86]

Maybe they know that a next gen version of Gta 5 is right around the corner!

That's enough for me to cancel my preorder. I was looking forward to The Crew too.

Ubisoft rush AC3 out, it's buggy - people moan and accuse them of cashing in
Ubisoft delay Watch Dogs saying they need more time - people moan and accuse them of cashing in.

Wait, what?

 

[antijoke]

Who accused them of cashing in?

Surely that's exactly what they aren't doing.

Seems a bit of an OTT reaction cancelling your PS4 pre-order just because a single game has been delayed by a few months! Appreciate it's annoying for folks who have ordered the bundle but presumably they'll be given priority when choosing another pack?

doubt it. Amazon gave me the ability to pick a pack before the 14th, which has now passed. So I think the bundles will already be allocated elsewhere

Simply put Ubisoft dont want Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed from cannibalizing each others' sales.

Maybe done to give AC4 some room, and maybe something to do with GTA

Also its odd that even the critics etc have hardly had hands on with this game, mainly just off hands demos etc

I suspect GTA5 has had a lot of impact on development. Releasing an open-world game so soon after GTA5 is inevitably going to lead to ridiculously high expectations not just from reviewers but the players too, so at least this way they can improve what they need to improve, and wait for amnesia to kick in while they're at it.

Kind of happy about this...got so many games pre-ordered for the last few months of gaming this year I didn't want it to get lost haha!

Those two games were the reason why I was looking forward to getting a PS4. Might as well cancel for now and at least avoid all the early post release console 'issues'. I'm going to give it more thought but I might as well just hold onto my PS3 now.

Do you honestly think they've only just realised that they are releasing at the same time?

 

[insane200]

It's a shame as i was really looking forward to this, after watching the Live demo at EGX it looked very polished and played very fluidly.

One thing though is it saves another bit of cash this side of Xmas lol.

 

[wedgie]

I'm surprised at this, but it's fair to say I've never been on the Watch Dogs bandwagon and this only makes my scepticism about the game even stronger.

 

[AndrewD]

Ah crap I had this pre-ordered with my PS4 as a bundle. Wonder what will happen to my PS4 pre-order now, hopefully I can just pickup Killzone Bundle instead.

Saying that, I'm quite glad as it was beginning to get expensive with Assassin's Creed and Battlefield 4

 

[wattsy]

i think they will replace watchdog with an assassin creed bundle cos its the same games designer or i hope so anyway

 

[AndrewD]

I'm not too fussed as the bundles didn't really save me any money, just was convenient really.

Would killzone not sway you to keep the order.
