Doom Eternal Release Date Delayed Until 2020

With flops like fallout 76 and rage 2 its no wonder they are delaying this to improve their 2020 first Q earnings.

Game had been already announced gold. I guess going against RDR2 was enough to scare their launch.

I salute them for doing this. Very few publishers are willing to give more time to their devs to polish a game. If they delayed it then it's for good reasons. They figured out something big enough to required a couple of extra months to work, be it bugs or balancing issues or maybe networking or specific game modes, A.I. or map design or boss encounters or more technical things. Whatever it is, it means that they just can't "fix" or polish it enough without the delay.

People should be happy this can still happen in our day and age of rushed-out games that were only worked on for 2 years and come out barebones, unfinished and unpolished.

Delays are usually a good thing... for me.

If it is for the best of the game, then I don't really mind the delay is only a few months

So now it's our fault they can't get their crap together lol. At a guess they looked at their opposition Borderlands 3's condition and panicked.

Tears! Rivers of tears! Ah well. If it takes more time to deliver a more awesome product then I get it, guess I'll check out borderlands 3 in the meantime.

While I do understand that games get delayed I was really looking forward to playing this in November as it was originally coming out a few days before my birthday. Oh well, already have pre-ordered it on PSN so I'll play it when it comes out in March.

I feel like competing with FF7R, WDL, VTMB2 and Cyberpunk 2077 shortly after is worse than competing with Death Stranding and Need For Speed.

And even with the delay, into a month with FFVIIR and Watch Dogs Legion, with Cyberpunk shortly after, they still can't get invasion mode in for launch?

im down for doom 64 but whats different or is it just another port of classic doom ... which is fine with me

Too many games releasing at this time. It would have drowned.

Glad for the push. If it makes the game better then it's worth the wait.

Sounds good to me. March is a suck month for game releases usually, so that works out pretty nicely.

Bummer, but, you know, do what you gotta do.

More time for Destiny this way. And maybe the new SWTOR expansion.

My wallet says thanks.

I can wait for polished doom. Take your time devs

4 months isn't a terrible delay. It'll probably be worth the wait.

Was really looking forward to this game at the end of the year but this saves me a little money and lets me enjoy some of the other releases. But damn early 2020 is going to be jam packed. There's going to be a handful of games that I'll either have to wait on or skip all together. Not enough time or money.

They gonna fix that fugly HUD/GUI that looks totally out of place with the rest of the game and what it's supposed to be about?

That’s somewhat unfortunate but I’d rather them take the extra time to deliver and polished product than rush one out just to meet some arbitrary deadline.

While the gamer in me is still somewhat disappointed by this news another part of me is a little bit relieved thanks to all the other big name games that are going to be vying for my attention in the next few weeks (Death Stranding, etc…).

Let’s just hope this is good news that when Doom eternal launches it will be worth the wait.

-DOTTING THEIR I’S NINJA APPROVED-

Fine by me. The bar was set pretty high with the last game, so it's better to take the time and polish this one until it shines.

I'm ok with this. Now you can't use that yearly FPS that goes always there as an excuse to not try something better.

LOL dang, that was unexpected. I was looking forward to this November but hey, delay is always a good thing in my books to make sure the game is perfect as it can get.

Developing.....

Like a disposable camera. Tsk tsk.
