Xbox One Holiday 2015 is so Stuffed That Something Might Have To Be Delayed
- Thread starter menace-uk-
- Start date
Ah noooo. I don't want any of them delayed. I' d rather see them pushed forward. Bring us QB in May for example...Tomb Raider in September and Halo 5 in November. I wasn't even aware that Scalebound was planned for next year. MS does not have many exclusives in early 2015 and mid 2015...so...change that. 
I feel that holiday 2014 has too many games. It wasn't too long ago when we would wait months between "great" games. Now there are too many to even play, let alone afford.
So this is interesting. The article author writes:
But Phil never said any such thing when you read his quotes:
I see nothing that says he is specifically delaying them, but wanting to spread them out throughout the year (queue DriedMangoes request). For all we know, some of the games slated for fall could be released this spring or summer coming up instead, if they are ready and if their line up is thin. That is Phil's own words.

That would be a good start. I don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to bunch everything up in the first place.
The author is just playing the odds. Odds are far greater that a game like QB, Tomb Raider, or scalebound will be delayed. Games being moved up is not very common. having said that though I do not think QB or scalebound were given a holiday 2015 date. So perhaps they could come earlier.
He is playing the odds, sure. But they come out as if that is something MS said, which they did not.
A more accurate headline would be "Xbox One Holiday 2015 Line Up Full, MS Looking to Spread Love"

I seriously doubt they planned it that way, it's more likely the product of the quirky nature of game development. Hollywood have motion picture production down to a science where companies like Marvel/Disney or Warner Brothers can plot out their releases down to the exact release date for the next 6 years. Whereas some developers can take 6 years just to make one game, sometimes they can't even seem to manage that.
Definitely, speculating on delays is certainly reasonable. But putting it in the title puts way too much weight on it than it deserves, because it is still just speculation on the author's part.
That may be the norm for Soony fans, but for Xbox fans - we generally get games when MS says they'll deliver them.

Unless it's their flagship Halo or Remedy is involved.
I don't like that a new game comes out every week because i feel like i have to play these games as they come out. Wish they were spread out over the year. Oh well, it will be a long Winter with plenty of catch up time.
Count me as a Creepy Japanophile then because I'm pretty interested in that game. Of course at this point I have no clue if I'll like it or not because we really don't know anything about it.
Pretty sure it'll be golden.
Of course, there will always be that crowd that doesn't find it appealing.
Is there really a chance for a Gears game in 2015? I would love that, I was thinking 2016 was more realistic

Gears 5 in 2015 is pretty unrealistic IMO. Back when it was announced it was only a few months in to dev. I see it being either a spring 2016 game or fall of the same year. Some sort of Gears remaster in 2015 and announced at/or near E3 is a possibility.
