Hopefully the extra time allows them to eliminate any game-breaking bugs.

which bugs? lol, they haven't shown us anything.... at all, for almost 2 years... or has it only been a year?  i know i heard about them doing an overhaul of the game from an RPG to an FPS - but i can't recall if that was a rumor or confirmed.

You were right on the 1st guess. Here's the E3 2013 reveal:

Re: buggy releases, I think they would want to avoid another Watchdogs or AC:Unity.

i hope they get it as close to the e3 2013 demo footage they showed - that looked gorgeous!

Seeing as we haven't seen any new footage in ages is anyone actually surprised by this?

As long as its nice and polished when it actually drops ill be happy.

they should take the time they need to create and polish this game
id still like to see at least a trailer on either E3 or Gamescom

I'm personally glad that they delayed it, given ubi's track record so far. I'm really looking forward to this game but they've been really silent about the project lately which leads me to believe they ran into some problems that needed to be ironed out first. Even their social media stuff hasn't really drop any new information yet and people are starting to wonder.

I say good on them, I think it's the right call..

i have friends who worked on it,
First off the stuff you saw on the demo were not even going to be in the game so they had to work on putting stuff you saw on the demo in the game.

It was going to be a mmo but they only budgeted 1 million for it so it got changed to a shooter, then all the people they had hired to work on the mmo left because it wasn't what they signed up for.

At the moment they haven't even put civilians in the game it is only you and ai that you interact with but no one else.

according to the latest screen shots it is nowhere near as good looking as the demo

I'll post as i find out more,

ok, so what i had heard was true!  that's a shame - i might end up passing this one up.  i was excited for the original design.

Yeah. My friend was going to get me on the beta she just told me that I'd be lucky to get the beta before xmas 2016

I was looking forward to this one as well. There will be so many games dropping over the next 6 months though that I will gladly wait till next year.

I'm already excited about Witcher 3 next week along with House of Wolves. These will keep me going for at least 3months alone. Along with a little Hardline here and there  .

This Xmas is going to be banana's, can't wait for all the E3 reveals!
