A Game thats taking so long to release that you're not interested anymore?

Submitted by Dont_have_a_panda t3_12656al in gaming

The System Shock remake.....

I love System Shock and when the announcement for the remake was made i was so Happy, the Game looks so promising and the demo? LOVE THAT DEMO 💕💕💕

But when was the announcement made? 2015? And 8 years laters and no Sign of a proper release date.... I'm frankly not interested anymore in the Game, dont even know if i'll purchase It when It comes out

Edit: (the Game supposedly release on may 30 of this year, but they changed the release date SO MANY TIMES that i'm taking this with a grain of salt and even if It were definitive, im still not interested)

It's not a fully realized game though.

Nah, I've just stopped paying attention to games prerelease. Pretty much ignore them until there's reviews

With game development times these days, I think you're on to something.

The next "The Elder Scrolls" game is 10+ years out. Next "Fallout" could be just as long, if not longer.

Cyberpunk 2077 sequel could be around the same length of development time given CDPR track record.

This is the way. Even for games that I'm super hyped about, I just ignore the release date and one day I go "Oh, it's out? Sweet!"

ostateboi419 t1_jea2xbp wrote

Anthem and Battlefield 2042 were the final nails in the coffin for me getting hyped for games before release. These games had incredible marketing and trailers that didn't at all resemble what we got with the final product. I don't even trust the initial reviews on most games, because now developers will scam the playerbase by holding off on predatory monitization schemes until after the release reviews go out.

So yeah, I don't pay any attention to release dates or marketing for games anymore. I will judge games solely on how good they are when the fully release, regardless of how long they were in development.

Star Citizen.

Never backed it (thank &$@?) but always planned to grab it on full release, which clearly is never going to happen in my life time. It’s turned into the biggest long con in gaming history.

blitherblather425 t1_je865x8 wrote

I agree with you, at this point they have no reason to release a finished product.

They have the perfect business model selling fake pixel ships for a conceptual product. Why break that clearly successful model!!

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2. Development was going great for a while, but it has gone so far to hell that I'm not even sure it's ever coming out.

Nomadic_View t1_je7ygvl wrote

Exactly what I came in to post. The first one was so great. It’s a tragedy that this one came so close to existing and now it looks like it will never release.

PurpPlum t1_je82sjq wrote

Apparently someone on the team said a late 2023 release was possible, but that was in November last year and (as far as I know) no updates have been given since.

Damn shame, too, since right now is still within a decent window to release things related to (non-D&D) tabletop games. WotC doing their anti-consumer crap is still fresh enough that people will still have other tabletop games in the back of their minds.

Briar_Knight t1_je7vull wrote

Yeah, I honestly doubt the game will be great even if it does make it out the door at this point. Same with Beyond Good and Evil 2.

Baldur's Gate 3. As a long time fan of the series, I was excited when I first heard about it. But after being in early access for 3 years, I don't really care about it any more.

blitherblather425 t1_je8630y wrote

Yeah, why would a game need to be in early access for 3 years? I’m not a fan of this early access stuff.

Fylimar2342 t1_je8vp0y wrote

I'm doing the early access of BG3 and it is actually pretty good. They did adress some player criticism and changed stuff.

RustyMR2 t1_je94uq8 wrote

It worked for them with Divinity Original Sin 2.

Only the first chapter is in early access, I played through it once last year and encountered minimal bugs. But I will wait for the full game now. Some people in the community replay it every time they do an update. I guess they enjoy being unpaid bug testers...

This was a while back, but Cube World was in a really early beta for over 6 years (after collecting people's money) with 0 updates and no communication from the dev.

When It finally did release a 1.0 I'd completely lost interest and still haven't actually played more than 5min of it total.

Bullhead388 t1_je7styz wrote

I’m with you on this one. Cubeworld felt awesome, all my friends wanted to play it 7 years ago but configuring a multiplayer server was a serious pain. Everything I’ve heard about game development since then has just been depressing.

2

The_One_Nut t1_je7tods wrote

It's one of those titles that had so much potential, but just never had the resources to realize that potential and get it off the ground.

I probably would have been more understanding/accepting if we were given some small updates along the way or even just a bit of communication. Instead it just went completely silent on all channels for years :/

Now it just feels like a wasted 20$.

Sly 5. Technically it doesnt count because there wasnt an announcement, but the series ended on a cliffhanger with Sly 4 that never got resolved.

Sly Cooper was my whole childhood, man. Every passing year since 2016, I’ve lost hope a sequel is gonna come out at all. Especially considering how every Sly-related project has just been swept under the rug since then. But damn do I miss that series.

I literally bought Sly 4 before getting a ps3 to make sure I had it. At least Psychonauts got a sequel.

EtheusRook t1_je83re8 wrote

Anything MMO-related, and especially PvP. I've basically switched to a single player lifestyle entirely in the last couple years, so a lot of games that would have interested me if they came out years ago no longer do. This was pretty well encapsulated by Crowfall, which I backed and then just totally stopped paying attention to years later.

ES6. I don't know how long I've waited for an Elder Scrolls 6, but it feels like a fever dream that it was even ever announced.

The more I think about it, the less exciting it becomes, the only thing that could possibly bring me to buy it would be the modding community.

The Final Fantasy VII remake.

Never played the original, but I thought I’d play the remake after it was finished.

Then they split it into three parts.

This game was announced eight years ago. Only one of the three parts has been released.

2

ChocoboCloud69 t1_je80p9x wrote

I'm pretty excited for it and have yet to play the first part. I bought it on sale but have intentions to not touching it until I can just binge all three parts at once just like the OG. I don't care how long it will take or how long it will take me to get through it when the time comes, I'm sticking to my plan.

There's far too many quality games out there right now to be worried about future games releases IMO

Jwhitey96 t1_je9dzsn wrote

I disagree with this. Sure it’s been 8 years since announcement but we had part 1 5 years after announcement, and part 2 is put this winter, a mere 3 years after part 1. I would say 5 years is average game development time, with 3 years being really quick. The issue which square never learns from is announcing things way to early. Most games announce when they are half way through so often have 1-3 years from announcement to release. Square alway announces a game when it has just started, which is dumb

I was so excited for a few years and then it went silent, and then they did a re-reveal, and then a trailer, and now nothing again. Release date “to be revealed”. It was announced in 2013.

Excellent_Routine589 t1_je83q2x wrote

Honestly… Starfield

At this point, I KNOW modded Starfield will just be better than the base game, it will launch with dozens of not hundred (…or thousands of bugs) and will take months of retooling to get it even halfway stable, yes it’s a large universe to explore… but procedural generation often is pretty ick in terms of depth, etc

I’ll prolly play it on PCGP… but I’m not dropping money on it, just not that interested

MuNansen t1_je84y8h wrote

I played the demo during Steam Days. I don't have any emotional ties to the original System Shock, and I don't plan to get the remake, but I was impressed by what I saw, in how they recreated the feel of the original while still feeling like a modern game.

Sabbathius t1_je85w03 wrote

Star Citizen is an obvious one. It went off the rails about 6 years ago by my count, and I just stopped caring. They keep adding stuff for the sake of adding stuff, not even in service of fun or gameplay, but just to see if they can. I'm so past caring now it's not even funny, but I do hope someone wakes me up when it gets full VR support, like they promised in kickstarter campaign...back in 2012. If this game is out, with VR support, before 2032 I'll be very surprised.

I just don't understand what is taking so long with it. At this point I think you're right it's gonna come out like duke nukem forever. A game with a terrible development pushed out the door just to get it done.

Now I'm not a fan of the first cause I never played it, or had it growing up. But when I saw the announcement trailer for the second (the one with the monkey I think?) I was interested in it, but I'm not even sure what it's about anymore.
