DiscussionNMS is NOT delayed (self.NoMansSkyTheGame)

Gilchrist78 が 投稿

Kotaku may be up to something but I have now verified with over 30 GameStop locations nationwide in the US. Their system shows a release date of June 21st. Every store manager I've spoken to has said there is absolutely no precedent for using a "Coming Soon" sticker to hide a previous release date on promotional material.

The unanimous consensus from every GameStop employee is that unless you see an official announcement about a delay/change from the publisher/developer, don't believe this.

GameStop does not notify stores about release date changes prior to official announcements. Full stop.

Is this the craziest day in the subs history? We've had some belters but I think this takes the cake, only the mods can know for sure

[–]Maswasnos 26ポイント27ポイント  (8子コメント)

I'd say yes. The days back in november of 2015 (when we though the game would release in December for some reason) were a bit crazy, but that was more spread out.

That's true. Today's "Kotaku Event" is less about making wild theories about the game's release and more about hoping that wild rumors aren't true.

[–]funktopus 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oh man I really thought some folks were going to lose their damn mind when they announced the release date. Some folks were WAY to hyped.

June 2017 right? I'm just about to step into my cryo-pod™ . Wake me up when the game is out.

I would totally say yes. We have had an actual release date(FINALLY) for quite a while now. Solid kick to the berries, this.

    Now I'm not hoping for a delay, but I think these posts saying "Truth" or "Not Truth" are jumping to their conclusions too quickly. It's been less than 24 hours since a rumor was published. All of the corporations aren't going to get together and get their single page for a single videogame updated immediately. Their web producers are probably working on whole pages and launches and will get to this small change when the priorities align. Shit, Target and stores probably don't know about the rumor or a confirmed change in release date yet (if there even is one privately), until people forward/respond to emails and submit a regular old website change ticket. I bet in another day or so we'll see some actual confirmation either way; The grape vine can still be "slow".

    Just because websites still say June 21st, 17 hours after a Kotaku article, does not confirm a delay.

    Same with 30 Gamestops (0.4% of stores in the US). Do you know how shitty and slow even huge companies can be? The majority might simply not have gotten the order yet.

    [–]InvestigateContact 27ポイント28ポイント  (7子コメント)

    But why wouldn't Sony or HG come out and put a stop to the rumors by now? Allowing bogus rumors to keep circulating would only increase the number of people getting frustrated and canceling preorders. If someone says something completely untrue about your company failing to deliver on promises, you put that shit to rest as quickly as possible.

    [–]inexplicable83 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Yeah as much as I want to believe it's not delayed, this is the most damning thing - no denial, not even any comment at all from anyone involved.

    I can't really think of any reason they wouldn't deny it if it was false, but I can think of plenty they would delay admitting it was true.

      Did any managers you called expect the call from you because another store close by gave them a heads up?

      [–]Gilchrist78[S] 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

      It's not like I was doing site-visits with the District Manager. I called 1-2 locations in major cities and a few from outlying areas as their stores opened. Not all stores had the managers working but store associates who open stores are more likely than not to be veterans of the organization rather than the guy or gal they hired a couple weeks ago.

          I ran a Gamestop for a couple of years during the Wii/360 launch windows, and they didn't tell us anything, and changes in launch dates either mysteriously popped up in the reserve system, or simply weren't updated. I'm assuming things might've changed since then, but I'd doubt it.

            Buddy of mine is a Gamestop manager, and I asked him to open up his marketing for this Sunday. He confirmed the red text, two sentenced blurb is in the new marketing materials, along with NMS posters.

            He also told me that their marketing has been wrong in the past, as of this posting Gamestop's computer is still showing June 21st

                I'm tired of thinking about this, and I am tired of waiting for an official response. Either Kotaku is completely full of shit, or something is going on. And if something is going on, the game is either delayed slightly or not so slightly, or being released early.

                There is a chance hello games wont say anything to us until E3.

                I woke up to a universe where GameStop Managers are believed to be authoritative sources for major product launches. Wtf.

                I work on the corporate side of a marketing group that is directly responsible for getting materials to our retail stores and the store managers typically find out stuff the same time the public does. Maybe someone working in a print dept somewhere would know slightly ahead of time about a marketing communication change (i.e. product delayed) but the idea that GameStop managers would be some sort of source for any of this is insanely naive. The Kotaku article mentioned two sources.

                I'm just as bummed as anyone but this proves nothing.

                [–]TLATER 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

                The kotaku article literally says they heard this from a GameStop worker.

                However, stores were informed that the release date is no longer correct and that they should cover it up with a “Coming Soon” label

                If you want to discredit this article the best way to do so is ask a GameStop manager... How would literally only this one unnamed guy know about a marketing change that was allegedly distributed to all stores?

                This almost sounds like a confused Joe who misheard something, to which Kotaku added another "anonymous" source since they didn't have any better stories.

                On the other hand, I kind of want to trust Kotaku, because this would be the shittiest piece of journalism outside Buzzfeed I've ever come across.

                  I thought it was pretty clear, I confirmed what was printed in the marketing book. If these managers (which most of the time store managers are off Thursdays) are saying they haven't seen anything, it's likely they haven't opened or looked in the marketing kit yet.

                  [–]tripped144 8ポイント9ポイント  (7子コメント)

                  I used to manage a Gamestop years ago and I definitely remember at least a couple times of covering up wrong information with small "correction" signs like the "coming soon" circle shown. Not saying anything one way or another about it being delayed, but it's not out of the norm for Gamestop to add corrections like that in the marketing kits.

                  [–]Catalyst09 4ポイント5ポイント  (5子コメント)

                  Corrections happen, yes, but they usually happen after the announcement of the delay. I'm not claiming that is out of the ordinary, but for a sign to be shipped with a memo that says correct it isn't usual.

                  [–]tripped144 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

                  Right. That's what I'm saying. I don't ever remember getting word of something needing to be corrected without an official announcement. They know better than to tell a bunch of gamers that manage GS some juicy info about a high profile game and expect them to keep hush hush. Maybe GS HQ knows about a change and jumped the gun on sending the corrections out. Maybe it's a mistake and some confusion happened. Time will tell.

                      GameStop does not notify stores about release date changes prior to official announcements.

                      This seems pretty likely in industry and that totally nullify your statement. One of you are lying, I don't know which one and I don't care since there is no way to tell who it is.

                      [–]Catalyst09 11ポイント12ポイント  (3子コメント)

                      I don't get what you're saying? GameStop usually does not notify stores until the release date has been officially changed, so there's no miscommunication. For it to show up in a marketing book is unlikely, and not a normal way for us to find out, but I'm not saying it's wrong. Just saying wait for confirmation by Hello Games.

                      This is always a good idea, but you know how this sub is. Rampant speculation is the norm.

                      On the other hand, I feel like we're handling his news better than most other game subs would. Imagine if something like this happened in the Battlefield or LoL subreddits.

                            The screenshot is from enshi0802, who claims to have spoken to a Sony employee. It basically says the countdown towards the digital release is correct, but the sony employee could't / wasn't allowed to talk about the physical release.
                            This makes me happy, but it obviously isn't the best source of information.

                            One of my Librarian Knights is a station manager and he just spent today calling other stations asking about this. None of them have heard anything about a delay.

                            PSN says 25 days remaining. If they haven't updated it, it has to be a fake rumor.

                            I'm pretty sure I could get in contact with Kotaku, makes up some crap about a game that hasn't even been announced yet, and they'll write about it.

                            This post offers no more evidence that the game is not delayed than the original Kotaku article offers that it is.

                            IMO the most damning evidence to suggest that the game has been delayed is the lack of immediate developer response saying the release date is unchanged, and the removal of Sean's pinned tweet stating the release date as 6/21.

                            Every store manager I've spoken to has said there is absolutely no precedent for using a "Coming Soon" sticker to hide a previous release date on promotional material.

                            This is incorrect. When Uncharted 4 was delayed, we were told to cover up the marketing saying that it was coming out in March/April.

                            In my 7 years at GameStop, we've had a few other issues where games have been delayed, and home office directs the stores to make changes while they generate new marketing elements to go up ASAP to reflect the changes.

                            It's been 24 hours and no comment from Hello Games...

                            I'm thinking the "NO MAN'S SKY" in that memo might actually be a TYPO and ANOTHER game has been delayed instead.

                            You don't announce a game's delay 3 weeks before the release date! Not unless you have no idea what you're doing as a developer. Did they have another flood in their office? I think not.

                            Hello Games is not new to making and selling games and they have Sony's money behind them now. I am 99.9% convinced that memo is a mistake/misprint.

                            Or maybe Gamestop doesn't like to make a habit of getting out ahead of publishers announcing information about their games? This leaked information from them is just that: leaked. It would be wildly irresponsible for an outlet to confirm or deny rumors without the publisher releasing a statement first. By confirming the release date in the system he took the safe road.

                            Seriously, were it so easy to confirm or debunk a report by calling Gamestop stores around the country and making sure 30 times that the database they all use still says something that hasn't been officially changed by the publisher yet.

                            Maybe it'll be changed or maybe it won't, but this is ridiculous. You may as well send Playstation customer service 30 tickets asking if the release date has been changed for all the good calling 30 Gamestops would do.

                            This is actually exactly how sources are confirmed or debunked in journalism. On one hand, you have a single store manager talking to someone from Kotaku. On the other hand you have 30 stores who all take time to both verify the release date as well as the standard operating procedure for the handling of these situations.

                            In journalism, you run the story that is maintained by 30 sources vs. a rumor. In today's 24-hour news-cycle, you run the headline verified by only a single source.

                            I've called 30. Feel free to call 1-4 of your own local game-store locations and ask them what the process is for announcing changes to release dates.

                            As a GameStop employee I can tell you that this has happened in the past when a release date changes suddenly. It hasn't happened in awhile but it has happened. But that being said, GameStop won't change a release date in the system, or on marketing for that matter, unless there's an official change from the dev/publisher.

                            I sympathize with your desire to find out more information, but this proves nothing. We've now seen the message put out accompanying the promotional materials from several GameStops. Those aren't hoaxes, so "precedent" or not, that is indeed what the note accompanying the promotional material says.

                            This news came out almost a full day ago now and neither Sony or HG has lifted a finger to debunk the news. That tells me more than any calls to GameStop employees.

                            How about not only focusing on GameStop and going to other gaming stores to see if they know anything?

                            As far as i've been told, a couple of friends of mine in Canada went to their respective retailers and found the release date is still a pretty solid June 21st.

                            On my side, here in México City, the 3 most important gaming stores nationwide are maintaining the June 21st. Release date.

                            Do you know anything about the status of No Man's Sky on other places where you can get the game?

                            I made a few calls myself and they checked the system, still the same release date.

                            OMG Sean Murray just confirm or deny it already. 3rd of this subreddit is memes, the other 3rd is confirmation, the other is denial.

                            Can confirm this from the Canadian standpoint as well. EB Games employees were aware of the rumour but had not heard anything from corporate headquarters regarding a developer/publisher announcement.

                            Edit: Source

                            That's not a source, that's a tertiary source and it's no different than hearsay. I'm still going to pretend I've heard nothing until HG tells me it's been delayed, at which point I will resume general moaning and groaning

                            The displayed image of the letter, told employees to be honest about the change, and give any information only if asked.

                            The gamestops I have called also state 6/21 for US.

                            I wouldn't really trust any news site until you've gotten actual information from the Publisher of the game.

                            I hope it's not true. Literally can't handle the anticipation. 😅 An early release at E3 maybe?

                            Wow, because Gamestop really has any clue about the release date? In fact, they don't. Only the developers and publishers know for certain what the release date will be.

                            Hi guys! I'm the one who broke this story. I get that there's a lot of disappointment on this subreddit today (and rage at Kotaku, for some reason), but I'd recommend not getting your hopes up. I wouldn't have published the story if I weren't confident that it's true.

                            Not saying you are right or wrong - only stating the very true fact that people are never truthful with everything and anything.

                            Then Jason I recommend you provide more than just your single source from Gamestop with a vague image attached. In 2 hours, I provided a complete assessment of the situation which you could have done if you hadn't rushed to publish.

                            A more interesting breaking-news article would have included the fact that the process through which this information is leaking is entirely unprecedented on several levels. Chief among those is that GameStop doesn't operate in the manner you've described and don't instruct their stores to act in the manner your source explained.

                            So you have 1 source in Gamestop. I have 30.

                            In light of how wrong you were, you should apologize.

                            In 2 hours, I provided a complete assessment of the situation which you could have done if you hadn't rushed to publish.

                            You know nothing about how I operate or how this story was published. It was certainly not rushed. And even though you're being rude, I'll tell you the full story, in the interest of transparency. I first heard about the delay several weeks ago from a reliable source who I won't identify. I don't typically run news without at least two sources, so I sat on that information until I corroborated it with the GameStop marketing materials, which I verified carefully. This morning, another Redditor posted pictures of the same materials, adding further corroboration.

                            It's nice that you called a bunch of GameStops, but what you're missing here is that the information wasn't sent around in a memo or given directly to employees. It was buried in a marketing kit that was sent to managers this week, giving them a guide for materials to display from May 30-June 15. What's likely is that the employees you spoke to have no idea it even exists.

                            If you want to do some real legwork, go ahead and call your 30 GameStops and ask them to look in their managers' marketing kits for this image. I believe it's page 31? [EDIT: It's page 30. Just like your 30 sources!]

                            I understand that many of you guys would like to believe this isn't true, but getting your hopes up will make things worse. I imagine many of you aren't familiar with my work, but I take reporting very seriously, which is why I've broken news such as Assassin's Creed skipping 2016, Destiny 2 getting delayed to next year, the truth behind Blizzard's Project Titan, the demise of Phantom Dust, and much more. I don't run stories like this unless I've put in the work to make sure they're legitimate.

                            Honest question : Why would Sony wait several weeks before officially announcing that the game is delayed ?

                            [–]jasonschreier 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

                            Likely because they didn't have a concrete new date yet, and it'd be nuts to make the delay public without a new date. I'm still not sure they have a final date, which may be why both Sony and Hello Games have been so silent.

                            You're asking for a lot of trust. You won't reveal your source, so what is your source worth to me? Not much. The Gamestop marketing material is not available to most of us either. So really it's just you telling us that you're a good journalist.

                            Ok, well, thanks. I guess. But honestly, I don't feel like you've done any good here, just a lot of harm.

                            Why does he need to reveal his source? It's up to his source whether they want to be revealed or not -- and most of the time anonymous sources would rather stay nameless to protect themselves/their employment/livelihood, etc. This isn't anything new in any form of newsmedia. Schreier is respecting the right of his source to remain private in exchange for privileged information that helps him and his outlet break and develop a story.

                                  I just called up my gamestop here in Minnesota, They can confirm it was delayed and that they will update their systems next week once they hear the announcement of the new release date. As of right now it will still show 6/21 until next week.

                                  Honestly we would have heard about it being delayed when the rumors surfaced.

                                  lets be real Kotaku is owned be Gawker media which is known to be trolls.
