I'm not and I've asked Team Cherry to hold off on releasing it for a few more years while I prepare myself. Hope everybody understands.

Other than the original Prey, was there ever a game that was massive delayed for years and years but came out good or great? I'm trying to think. I can think of games with super troubled development, like most of the Resident Evils, but usually that was going on behind the scenes and poo poo. Other than Prey every game that was both known to be coming, and then delayed enough that people called it vaporware, ended up being at best middling, and more often an unplayable trashfire.

Resident Evil 4 was first announced in 1999 and came out in 2005. Granted, they re-announced it in 2002, so it may have felt like a shorter timespan.
Team Fortress 2 was first announced in 1998 and came out in 2007.

I mean RE4 is the greatest game ever made, but yeah, I wasn't aware they announced it that early. I thought more of that was ehind the scenes.

The System Shock remake took like eight years and went through some serious turmoil (and very publicly too) but by all accounts is excellent.

It's like that famous Miyamoto quote: "a rushed game is bad forever, while a delayed game is also bad forever, but later". What a genius he was.

I don't think that's right, but I also think that the point of that post was to make me say that, so everyone's a winner. Even Samus.

The quote is correct but it's misattributed. Miyamoto did say it but he in turn was quoting game designer Fyodor Dostoyevsky (the guy who made Tetris).

RE4 is such a good example that it ended up as 2 really good games and I think one ok game (I've never played Haunting Ground)


Oh also if people are looking for nice, indie, Metroidvanias, a Momodora game came out today

https://x.com/r_rdein/status/1745356244007748044?s=20

I'd also really highly recommend Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight and Minoria by the same dev, even though that one didn't keep my attention like the others have

The Prince of Persia metroidvania demo drops today. At least on Switch it’s supposed to.

Team Fortress 2 has to be the absolute pinnacle of vaporware shitshoe-itude. It was in development for 9 years and turned out amazingly.
