Drowning in delays
For those of us eager to dig in and see what the game line up for fall/holiday are in for a bit of disappointment. I cannot discern whether developers are afraid of competition (my guess) or if they're announcing game release dates way ahead of schedule. (dying light, the division mad max I think fall into this category)
Dragon age inquisition: (Oct 7th) November 18th
Shadows of mordor: (Oct 7th) September 30th ([i]moved forward[/i])
Battlefield:Hardline (Oct 21st) moved to March 2015
Evolve: (Oct 21st) February 10th 2015
Evil within: (Oct 21st) October 14th ([i]moved forward)[/i]
Batman Arkham Knight: October 28th to 2015
Witcher 3: holiday 2014 to February 2015
The order 1886: originally 2014 but has settled into it's new February date in 2015
Dying Light: has been moved 3 times since system launch and a new release date remains to be seen.
The division: some time 2015 probably
Mad max: supposed launch title has been hit by delays
Edit:
Elder scrolls online: by the time we see it it may be free2play
This holiday is building itself up to be an odd one filled with ever changing schedules and push backs. I don't know about you guys I'm a bit disappointed Evolve was delayed it was one of the few games I was looking forward to after Destiny.

Traditionally delays do allow teams to fully flesh out a game into something perfect. But in some cases the delays have a bad taste to them. Watchdogs for example was most likely delayed for marketing reasons rather than production reasons so we ended up with a game that had a hackneyed story and wonky mechanics. Then games like Mad Max and Dying Light were meant to be launch year titles but they seem to have pulled a disappearing act as of late. I figured the division wouldn't be out for a while since Ubisoft is funneling the entirety of its funds into Unity and far cry 4. I think Hardline was moved off the 21st to avoid competing with Evolve for sales. Same for dragon age being moved off the 7th, which had shadows of mordor to compete with but Shadows moved into September. October was originally loaded with game launches and now it is nearly gutted with mostly sports games remaining. (NBA 2k15 and NBA live 15) It seems so bizarre
