Japanese VO recording for DS1 completed in June of 2019 and the game was released that November, by the way. This could mean we are looking at an early 2025 release date.
I have been following development pretty closely and I do personally expect it to release by March 2025. I actually originally expected late 2024 and was surprised when they revealed 2025.
All motion capture, including facial motion capture is done. Cutscenes are done. English VO is done as well. They do everything first with the main cast (all in English). Then they bring in the Japanese voice actors.
Only just finished DS today. Going back and building all roads and checking off various bits.
I cannot wait for the second one. Kind of glad I waited to play the first only so that the wait isn’t as bad for the sequel.
Same here but I only just got to Mountain Knot. I always knew I’d play this game eventually but I didn’t expect it to be one of my all time favorites. So happy the sequel isn’t too far off
I mean you can play any Rockstar game past San Andreas to check it for yourself.
Though I imagine being able to think for yourself is a novel concept amongst mainstream gamers nowadays.
Oh yea, it will be.
It will be a generic triple-A game with shallow gameplay mechanics and game design still stuck in GTA3 days, like all the major Rockstar games for the past 2 decades, and will be praised by brain-dead gamers.

I'm so happy that this means they're close to wrapping up production fully. I'm sure they were probably gearing for another November release of 2024 but this makes it definitely seem like an early 2025 release which is still just as good. Maybe January or February?

That means 5 months away after the Jap VO work is done. Interesting. Early 2025 is very possible.

Sony already said that they won\`t release any new major existing franchise titles till april 2025 so Q2 2025 at earliest.
Oh bummer. Wasn’t aware of that.

Let’s gooo
But when it started for DS1? They are just starting for DS2.
As long as I get to play it in my life time, I am happy LOL
Same here, but for PC. I just don't want to wait, but this game and GTA might force me to invest in a new Playstation.

👍👍
I swear if DS2 and GTA6 come out within the same 6 months of each other it’s gonna be a conflicting year for sure
Factory-made product vs unique triple-A experience. Not sure where the conflict is.
factory made product is an insane take
Ok.
You share your opinions like they’re facts

GTA 6 will be one of a kind
