Omori (video game)

  • ... that after numerous delays, the video game Omori came out over five years after its initial projected release date? Source: "with an initial projected release date of May 2015... The game would be delayed into 2019 and early 2020, but would again miss both targets. Later in 2020, Omori received its final release date of December 25."; Comic Book Resources, SiliconEra

  • ALT 1: ... that the video game Omori came out over five years after its initial projected release date? If it is late it must have been delayed, and shorter generally makes a better hook (ask my friend Gina, she's 4' 11' and also has a great uppercut) Belle (talk) 16:13, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
  • I agree, that sounds better. - Novov T C 07:11, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
  • ALT 2 ... that the video game Omori came out in December 2020, instead of its initial projected release date of May 2015? Variation of ALT1 as per below. - Novov T C 02:56, 3 August 2021 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced and neutral. Earwig did not pick up anything major. Hook is interesting and I prefer ALT1 as it is more concise. However, the article does not mention that it came out over five years after the projected release date. Nominator has no prior DYK credits so exempt from QPQ. Pamzeis (talk) I am not watching this page so if you want my attention, please ping me. 02:46, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

@Pamzeis: Does that have to be directly included? The article mentions both the initial release date and the eventual one. If that's the case, I suppose you could do something like ALT2 above. Although IIRC at least one source mentions the five-year duration, it seems redundant and silly to add that to the article just for DYK. - Novov T C 02:56, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Per WP:DYK#Cited hooka: "The hook should include a definite fact that is mentioned in the article" (emphasis in original). I'm not sure if it has to be directly included but I think it might be able to be incorporated into the article e.g. "Later in 2020, Omori received its final release date of December 25, five years after its projected one" (or something like that). If you can find the source which mentions this, I'd be happy to tick it; however, if you can't, we'll just go with ALT2. Happy editing! Pamzeis (talk) 04:53, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
@Pamzeis: I can't find it, so just use ALT2. Some sources got removed as part of its GAN, so there's a good chance it got excised then. Thanks for your work. - Novov T C 09:24, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Great! Approving ALT2. Pamzeis (talk) 09:29, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
