This massive ‘collection’ of game delay posts is pure art – PCGamesN

There are many good reasons why developers sometimes need to push back their games release dates, with the ongoing pandemic being the chief example of the past year-and-a-half. While these delays are almost always totally understandable, theres no denying that, for fans eager to see their most-anticipated games debut, those statement images that pop up on Twitter (you know the ones) are fearful prospects indeed. But, theres another side to them, too compiledtogether into one enormous collection, theyre kind of pure art.

Thats just what Mark Brown, the creator of a YouTube series on game design called Game Makers Toolkit, has done with an impressively extensive, curated series of tweets. You know, Im something of a collector, Brown posts. What do I collect? Why, the images that publishers tweet when they delay their games, of course. Starting with one of those immediately recognisable, bright yellow screens announcing a Cyberpunk 2077 delay (the one that pushed it back to September 17, 2020), the series goes on to capture a ton of those ominous image-tweet announcements from the past couple of years.

We can see many of the gaming greats ofrecent(ish) times, and some of those that have yet to make their glorious arrivals in the mix. Weve gotDeathloop, Doom Eternal, Halo Infinite, Humankind, Total War: Warhammer III, and well, plenty others in the collection.

Are these not the ultimate, defining artefact of the current videogame era? Brown jokes in one, and asks, is this art? in another. Well, thats for you to decide, really. Just spare a thought for your dedicated gaming news writers at sites like this fair orange one right here when these tweets pop up its not easy speed-transcribing the contents of an image when theres no website blog alternative available. Heres some of Browns impressive collection:

Heres the grand finale:
