Wow. </url> I wasn't getting this at launch, but now I just might wait until it hits below $40.

Makes selling my preordered console that much easier. No need for a PS4 at launch now.Comment

Re: Watch Dogs
I was so hyped for Watch Dogs after they teased it during last year's E3. It was a must have for me.
Then after this year's E3, I lost all the excitement that I felt for it. It just didn't do it for me.
I feel for the guys who preordered next gen Watch Dog bundles.
But this delay is not surprising at all to me.
And I have a feeling most of the launch next gen titles will be endlessly patched well into next year.Comment

Re: Watch Dogs
Wonder if it was pushed back because it needed more time, or if Ubisoft didn't want both this and ACIV to take away sales from each other.
This was the one next gen game I wanted, so my decision to cancel my PS4 pre-order looks even better in hindsight.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment

Re: Watch Dogs
Well that sucks. Now the only game I have pre-ordered at launch is BF4. Not even sure if there are any other launch titles I care that much about. Bleh.Comment

Re: Watch Dogs
Yea, plus I found it to be so bizarre we weren't getting any info on it lately or trailers, while we getting hammered with AC IV info and almost daily trailers. I would have thought with the new IP, they would have been pubbing it hard by now. Now I see why. At least I'll have more time with AC IV and GTA online"If you have a linebacker on him, you might as well start singing their fight song." -- WSU coach Bill Doba on Reggie Bush

Re: Watch Dogs
I think with a AAA game like this you push it back 6 months vs. push a game slightly too early and have it get iffy reviews talking about bugs and lose your shirt on sales.
Just a guess. Plus with a new IP if you hit it out of the park it's guaranteed 3-4 more games (ala Assassin's Creed series), so they probably want to get it perfect.Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

Re: Watch Dogs
Ubisoft shares nosedive after Watch Dogs delay: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ubi.../1100-6415611/
Ubisoft shares plummeted today after the company announced the delay of Watch Dogs and The Crew. At press time, shares are trading down more than 25 percent.
According to Bloomberg, shares fell as much as 32 percent, the most since the company debuted on the Paris stock exchange in 1996.
"We made a choice that will pay off in the long run," CEO Yves Guillemot said. "The market has changed--we need huge blockbusters, and that means making very high-quality games."
As a result of the two game delays, Ubisoft expects to book an operating loss between €40 million ($54 million) and €70 million ($95 million) for the year ending in March 2014.
Another announcement that may have spooked investors was that Rayman Legends and Splinter Cell: Blacklist failed to meet commercial expectations.
Ubisoft said it chose to delay Watch Dogs for extra polish and fine-tuning. The extra development time will allow the game to have "far bigger potential," according to Guillemot.
Speaking with Bloomberg, Guillemot went as far to say Watch Dogs "could be as big as Assassin's Creed, even bigger. It's a great opportunity to increase our market share."
Ubisoft expects Watch Dogs to sell more than 6 million units when it is released.Comment
