NoooOoOoo!!! The March dream is dead...first off, ill start with saying that that post above is illogical. the game has been in development for 3+ years now, and the reactions they had at E3 were great. so why on earth would they start all over again? obviously fanboy drivel.
But seriously, this is an important game that could score huge points in the holidays for Sony next year. For their sake (and for me as well, I really want to play this) I hope they hit that window.
Edit: Also I find it pretty amusing that Gaf is taking this as confirmation that God of War can't be a 2017 game. I mean, I'm not saying that there's not a very real possibility that it isn't, but how is this confirmation? TLG was also only shown at E3 last year (they had this reacting Trico screen on the showfloor at other events but that doesn't count imo) and still releases this year. Not being at PSX doesn't mean a 2017 date is impossible.
second of all, i think this has nothing to do with development and what they can or cant show off of the game. but it more has to do with marketing and fending off the scorpio next year at E3. MS are going to show new hardware, and they are going to go all out on it. the "most powerful console" narrative will be driven hard, and you can bet your dog that Halo 6 will be announced, and announced as a scorpio launch title. to fend off the hype of a 6 teraflop machine, halo 6, oculus support, and VR Fallout plus what ever they got in store will take a lot. so i am guessing they are keeping as much as they can for E3. so i personally expect a shaming PSX as a result. they already have a lot of their big hitters announced. GTS, Horizon, GoW, Death Stranding, Detroit, Days Gone, TLG. what they have for E3 is limited, thats why i expect TLoU2 to be announced at E3 next year.
