He didn't exactly elaborate on what he meant, but it sounds like his team decided that GR2 would have a better chance early next year instead of following all the titles released this fall and joining everything else coming out this holiday season. Toyama, who also worked on the Silent Hill series, said that they put a lot of effort into its online features, and they want to see as many people as possible playing online at the same time.

The good news is that the team will make up for the delay by giving people free access to the premium DLC they were planning to sell. But those hoping that they'll be rewarded with a Vita version for their two-month wait will probably be sorely disappointed. Toyama didn't mention anything about Sony's forgotten handheld, and the game will likely continue being a PS4 exclusive.
