Matthew_Banfield Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Watch Dogs is delayed until spring 2014. The reasons behind the game being delayed are understandable but I must admit I am gutted! It was the only game I had preordered with the PS4! What do you guys think? Source: http://blog.ubi.com/watch-dogs-delay/ FURTHER NEWS IGN have stated that "The Crew" will also be delayed. Both games now have the earliest release date of April 1st.

Goro Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Just seen this, I respect Ubisoft for delaying it instead of releasing it unfinished and broken like plenty of other companies would do. Edited October 15, 2013 by Goro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenExotic Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Well i prefer to wait to get a finished game, i dont think GTA V would have looked and play this awesome had we gotten it in april this year, i think the extra 6 months of work, really helped. Im sure it will do the same for watch dogs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Scuba Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I agree that it is better than having a glitched/bugged game at launch but this just killed a lot of my incentive to have the PS4 day 1... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Banfield Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yeh definitely, fair play to them for admitting more time was needed and in turn taking the delay, going to be an even better game on next gen because of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVolloxx Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm extremely disappointed but fair enough , i just wonder what's going to happen with the bundles . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzzh3lixx Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I didn't even know you could make the game better than it already is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreTheVictim Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 This is both good and bad news. We have to wait a little longer but I'm glad Ubi made this decision instead of releasing the game half-broken. This, however, is bad for the PS4 lineup.

REDSHIRT64 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Like what everyone else has said great move by Ubi to delay the game to produce a more polished product, BUT this was one of the games that I wanted for the PS4.. There is a real lack of decent titles coming with this launch... DISAPPOINTED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Oh well, at least I can work on my backlog and PS+ is still providing entertaining games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starrk_01 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 A bit saddened, but understandable. No reason to release a game if it is not ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatCauthon Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 that was the only game I was going to get at launch for PS4. I'll have to decide on another one now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memnoch Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Oh my, I was expecting more 'how dare they??' Posts - good to see these forums are mostly clean of that kind of thing. End of the day, publishers only push back releases if they really have to, so it will be worthwhile in the end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowGandalf Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 My reaction is a great big "F**K!!" Why? Because I'd preordered the PS4/WatchDogs Bundle... I have no other preordered games for PS4, so unless I can quickly secure Knack, I'll end up having a new console with no games. I wish they'd announced the delay sooner. They left it rather late. I had everything all settled. Money, transport, bundle all arranged and finalised. I'm not gonna whine and moan but i am a bit annoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggie_Pie Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 well i guess that Knack won't have to fight for attention... im sure a lot of folks will just swing toward Killzone... I think its great that they don't release Watch Dogs in the same time frame as AC anyway... Plus the fact that they want to release the best quality is admirable.

damon8r351 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'd rather they fix whatever issues they found and put out a decent product when it's ready, than shove it out the door to meet the PS4 launch day deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndroidFox Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I must admit the announcement is on quite short notice, the game was supposed to come out next month and people have already preordered the PlayStation 4 bundle. I have no issue waiting though, better to have it late and done to a really good standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue waiting though, better to have it late and done to a really good standard. That's exactly why I think it is due to some pretty severe game-breaking or even system-breaking glitch that was found. Or maybe it's not doing what they said it could and they just found out. Some game companies aren't above shoving something slightly broken out the door and saying "Fuck it, we'll fix it in the next patch!", or even something missing features and saying, "Fuck it, we'll make it a DLC!"

Mopreme187 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 When i saw the news i was like damn i just submitted the form from amazon about switching my preorder to the watch dog bundle. so contacted amazon uk and explained the situation. the customer service person said they are aware of the issue and will be sending out new emails to the people who ordered that bundle asking to select another bundle. so anyone who ordered from amazon uk can at least not worry about there ps4 order.
