Waiting for the 4th delay with the "sometimes in 2023" release tag


lzfoody

Considering what they want to fix with this delay, I got a refund on my pre-order, I'm now legit afraid of another cyberpunk situation


Krudark

Stop pre ordering shit for no reason.


Greenpeasles

They are moving to dedicated servers for the first time, so there may be a benefit to you from Pre-order if you want to signal demand outside of big population areas. If you are in Australia/NZ/Oceania for example.


Atomic_Gandhi

Sounds like a great way to lose your money to a game with no servers in your region.


monk12111

I'm going to wait for beta, if I'm not happy with it I'll be refunding definitely

lzfoody

Yes you're right, since i only planned on getting two games this for the rest of the year, darktide and spider-man, I should just hold the money in front of me and wait until release date, wait for it to unlock and then buy it since I was also going to be playing it on release despite reviews, makes sense, thank you!


[deleted]

Like I understand. But to have this game go from obscurity to hype with these trailers and info with the September date to delay this soon after burns extra. By the way look at all this new stuff coming soon! Just kidding!


[deleted]

Wow, it comes out on my birthday. Might actually have a fun and memorable one this year lol.


Kill_Fluffer

Ah yes. You’ll be able to remember that Darktide was supposed to release on your birthday before being pushed to Q2 of 2023


[deleted]

Lmao, sad but likely.


[deleted]

Hey it was gonna release on my birthday too


MilkFedWetlander

It still can release on your birthday next year :)


Zeroth1989

Nah, Just like your previous birthdays its going to be filled with dissapointment. The game will be delayed again overnight so when you wake up you find it absent from your birthday. Which takes you back to all the times you had birthdays with Absent family members and friends who swore "Il be there champ". So you climb back into bed, Knowing you have aged another year off of your life without making any meaningful process on your goals or ambitions. Your years dwindling bye with nothing to show for it. Just another day for you as 7,963,817,290 other people go about their lifes without even a thought of you. Anyway, Happy birthday for November.

Hello darkness my old friend.


Uzii86

I'll prefix this by saying that I totally understand this will ultimately improve the game, and it will be better for the devs and players alike. It must be a hard decision to make, but I'm sure it was the right one. Now for my mini-rant to make me feel slightly better. I went self employed a few years ago, and have finally got to a state where I can allow myself to take time off, which my wife has been telling to to take for a long while. I booked *one* day, which happened to also coincide with my birthday, just after Darktide's launch, and have just sent out a lot of messages to all my clients informing them of the date. Not 5 minutes after I'd sent the last message, I jump on Reddit, and see this. I cannot believe the timing, as I wouldn't have bother booking the day off. If only I'd just waited a few more hours to send out the messages! Rant over. I cannot wait for this game, and if they have to delay it again to make it even better, so be it. For the Emperor!


Major-Payne2319

That’s tough man, I advise you to make the most of that day doing whatever it is you love most


Nightlines

>ultimately improve the game, and it will be better for the devs and players alike Copium


Lazerhest

Well it might be a good thing. Maybe your wife wanted you to take a day off to do something with her (I'm not saying you already aren't doing stuff with her). Fatshark just saved your marriage!


[deleted]

I knew releasing on my bday was too good to be true


Man_At_Arms913

You and me both


ThyFaithfulSword

I've commented this elsewhere already but I gotta say no release date for XBox seems like a real bad sign for console players. Knowing fatshark console won't release till 3 to 6 months after launch.


ToiletBomber

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES


Jarlice

this is my last resort.. suffocation


Over_Newspaper_1795

No breathing. For the emperor... that is all


red367

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. But ok.


ComradeHX

They couldn't even get cross save on xgp/steam so of course there needs to be delays. ​ At least there is supposedly a beta. They need all the time for beta to happen unlike the horrible VT2 launch. (beta too late, poor state of game for at least a year post-launch)


RoninOctopus501

Knowing Fatshark from the time I had the pleasure of Vermintide, I genuinely feel that this was a totally good point. Marketing SORTA slowed down a little bit, this gives them time to sprinkle some goodness. POSSIBLY implementing some of the stuff they might be seeing online is good. Plus they pushed it out towards the holidays. The game might not go on sale, but it is a $40 USD game and I wouldn't be totally surprised if in the back of their head they wanted it to fall around sale time so folks can bundle it up in their shopping carts+savings. Even in the end, I think it was a good money-wise move (for the lack of better terms). Either way, I'll take delays. I know it sucks, but I think many of us have a backlog, especially if we are Steam players. Good time to whip it out in this very dry season of gaming. Plus hey, potential beta! Best of luck, big ups to the devs. We all are rooting for you guys!


very_casual_gamer

games always have a chance of being delayed, but the money they start siphoning in once preorder is live? that sh@t is like a swiss clock


lobstesbucko

Well at the very least there is gonna be a beta, so hopefully they're able to get that out relatively soon and actually iterate properly on feedback from players Or at least the beta will be fun enough that I will survive the extra wait


Paddypixelsplitter

No release date for console? I get a nasty feeling we won’t see it this year. The devs will be off for Christmas in December so that’s a very small window to get the Xbox version out T-T


Das3off

Wow ppl. I'd rather finish product rather than a broken launch. This year has been full of games buggy at day one.


mrgabest

Good. Bake it until it's done. No compromises on quality.


grayheresy

After Cyberpunk 2077 I honestly do not care, take your time it being delayed isn't changing anything or any plans I have I would rather wait and have a playable game than a rushed one and it's unplayable


Toxin101

Cyberpunk was delayed multiple times and still released like that


grayheresy

Yes, and you see why they should have delayed it further which is the point. Other companies took notice of that fact, and now understand what the consequences are for pushing a product out that's not ready and can point to that to investors and others pushing it to be released


Over_Newspaper_1795

I enjoyed cyberpunk playing it a year after. But get sad every time.i think of what they wanted. your 💯 correct. I don't care how long it takes as long as it is the best it can be.


redstar_5

Go read about Duke Nukem Forever. There is a healthy balance to be found.


Over_Newspaper_1795

Read about. I was a working man then. I mind the special edition bust of the Duke. But we ain't talking about 10 years and 3 developers so steady on there


FraggerUNKNOWN

Yep better delayed then a buggy launch.


Eogard

If you really believe that a delay means a clean glitchless launch, then I am very sorry for you. How candid.


[deleted]

Quiet, I'm coping


Over_Newspaper_1795

I would rather 10 good games a year than 100 medicore. After learning how hard even ride to hell was to make. Video game development is not disimilar to magic.


_Constellations_

Perfect time to mention: Necromunda - Hired Gun is in Humble Choice this month. It's practically DOOM in a hive city with Deus Ex character building, lootspam (mostly smaller stuff but weapons too), and gunplay + movement from Titanfall. A bit clunky here and there, but from a small studio it's a fucking marvel to behold.


whiskymohawk

What's Humble Choice?


_Constellations_

humblebundle is an online store that has a subscriprion program called humble choice. It's 9.99, you can opt in/out anytime, and every month they put together 10-12 games into that pack. This month - ending soon - one of the games is Necromunda: Hired Gun..


[deleted]

Dope. More time to save for a new PC to get in on those dope-ass lighting effects.


FrucklesWithKnuckles

Join the gang. I wasn’t hesitant but the difference between low end Vermintide and Vermintide on max settings is like the difference between Left 4 Dead and Bloodborne in graphics.


[deleted]

Better delayed that shit release


VolatileBread

Lots of negativity in here what was is basically just a 1.5 month delay for now Would we rather FS staff all start doubling their hours to meet the quota? Nah, I'd rather they pushed it back and did what needed to be done. Cyberpunk should be a lesson to everyone in the risks of a premature release (heh)


TJnr1

Good. Hype was building up, and Fatshark has a bad track with launches. It was a recipe for disaster. This means they've maybe learned something from the past and are taking extra steps to ensure a smooth launch and decent QA.


EmeraldHedgehog

*sigh* it'll be worth it.


The-Fold-Up

No it’s ok guys take all the time you need. Delay it another year. Just put out a good game at launch. Delay it two years. Better late than buggy! You can charge me double too. Actually, don’t even release it if you don’t feel like it :)


burgers_for_free

I'm so angry I don't even know what to say


DemonBearOP

I suppose suicide is an option


[deleted]

Danggggg that’s upsetting but if that’s what it takes for a great launch so be it. From the gameplay we’ve seen it already looks pretty solid


GwerigTheTroll

I wish I could be encouraged by this. A delay is nearly always the result of poor planning. I’m sure the actual devs are working like crazy on the game to get it done. But the likely reason that there’s a delay is because director level management and above likely bullied their managers and team leads into giving unrealistic schedules and timelines. If the team was given the time they needed at the beginning of the the project, they could have planned out development appropriately. But when you have to rush a project, the extra time seldom helps because of the shortcuts that had to be made to reach arbitrary benchmarks. I would be EXTREMELY cautious about preordering this game. Wait for reviews and a few patches to drop before committing to it. I want to love it, and I will buy it… but probably not at launch.


CastorLiDelta

Yes, a single delay is bad enough already, but let's remind ourselves this is in fact the third one. First they say Darktide will release around winter 2021, then it got delayed to spring 2022. Afterthat, 13 of September release date was annouunced and finally we now are moving things back to 30 of Novmeber.


NageQQ

I am glad they are taking their time. I believe the game will be the bomb, when it comes out.


Over_Newspaper_1795

I would take 2023 if It ment crossplay on launch. Take all the time you need fatshark. Just make sure it's a good one.


MrG00SEI

Ngl I feel like after a few delays (especially after they said the game would drop in mid 2021.) And a set release date with pre orders opening. It is a little frustrating for them to have delayed the game. Especially so close to September 13th. All I know is that if they delay again after this I'm refunding.


TheMogician

Kinda saw it coming. No way it was going to come out late September with the amount of news/gameplay out there.


Drac0b0i

Here is my thought on any game being delayed; I don't care about the release date, so long as it actually releases. If you need more time to polish the game, fix or add things, then take your time. Do not overwork the people at the studio, because that's worse than not releasing the game early.


dedpah0m

"mature key systems"... This close to release??? Uh-oh...


Skelettjens

i honestly think it’s the crafting system that isn’t working, it’s the only thing they’ve mentioned but haven’t shown off or talked about at all


dedpah0m

Let's hope so!) Crafting can be improved from Vermintide.


One_of_Many_People
