Bloodborne delayed because of you

Bloodborne

Bloodborne is one of the most anticipated PS4 exclusives coming next year. It appears to build upon all the lessons learned from Souls games, and will harness the power of the new generation console to bring us the most impressively horrifying game to date. But it needs a bit more time for release.

Bloodborne was originally scheduled for February 2015, but it has now been pushed back. Don’t worry though, it’s only been delayed by a month, now releasing in March 2015 and for a good reason:

We were really grateful for all the player data and feedback we received from those who took part in our recent limited alpha test, and this extra development time will allow us to better integrate these learnings into the game.

The game is now scheduled to launch on PS4 on 25 March 2015. They are also teasing some more news being released in the coming weeks, so prepare for more videos, screenshots or game details.

This news actually makes me happy. I know delays aren’t fun and we all want the games when we want them. However, I no longer take a delay as a sign of issues with a game, or that a game will disappear into development hell. These kinds of delays just prove to me that From Software doesn’t want to ship a bug-riddled game. I would much rather wait a month or two (or even six if necessary) for a game that delivers on its promise.

Are you pleased to hear that they are focused on quality, or far too sad resetting your countdown clock?

    I just hope that the delay doesn’t = a large day 1 patch. And it’s good that Bloodborne is getting out of The Witcher 3’s path. The Witcher 3 just needs to kill Evolve now.

    Bloodborne, first PS4 game worth owning a PS4.

      Witcher 3 and Evolve are for two Very different kind of gamers, so that’s not direct competition.

        Exactly. I have no interest in Evolve, it’s just not my thing. But Witcher absolutely is.

      The Witcher 3 is making a lot of people nervous. And rightly so.

            Ryanza is around when you least expect it. He’s like the DRM of Lagz. ;P

            You know… like DRM. Guys? 🙁

    That’s what Evolution studios said and look at the backlash for DelayedClub.

    I wonder if the real reason behind the delays is with the complaints about it being just another Souls game in a new skin 😉

      Drivedub was a huge disaster.Bloodbornes biggest gameplay change is that you can restore health through combat and not Estus flasks. So no more running away to get a sip of water. Plus how much can they possibly change to the games mechanics in a months time if it was indeed too much like a Souls game?

    When was the last time that a game delivered on its promise?

    I’m quickly moving to the camp where I only buy the GOTY/Enhanced addition. It’s cheaper, all the bugs have been patched and it’s complete. It also stops me from buying a game because of the hype around the game. I’m looking at you Watch Dogs.
