Holy shit, this is unexpected. Even without the delay this was going to have the longest dev time of all the Uncharted games.

Which is kind of funny since Cerny said that developing on the PS4 would be much easier and faster.

 

[3rdbass]

This sucks! The reason I bought a PS4 in 2013 was to play Uncharted 4. Didn't think I would have to wait 2 and half years for it. Well I hope they get it right and please don't kill off Nathan ND as he is Uncharted.

What does that have to do with anything?

 

[Floridian]

I knew it. I was prepared.

 

[broony]

Well done naughty dog, brave of them to do the right thing. Hopefully E3 brings something to fill the gap.

seemed to have to do with the post he quoted.

This has more to do with the gameplay design for Uncharted 4 then anything else.

Sure but they already have a template, it's not like it's a new IP.

Just found it funny in retrospect with all the delays.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

If we get the original trilogy remastered to tide us over no-one will care.

 

[Ogni-XR21]

They should make a Golden Abyss HD remaster for the holidays. Just one game instead of 3 to rework.

 

[FATALITY]

and it doesnt

lol stop

 

[butman]

I'm confused now. This Next Gen or Next Year?

 

[Genio88]

Maybe Knack 2

 

[Cave Johnson]

Guess the last layoff/restructuring brought the development back to square one. That's the only other explanation I can muster.

I think he was talking about getting an engine up and running on the hardware, and not about production.

 

[Otakumegane]

Is that the 1st one on GAF most anticipated top 10 for 2015 to slip into 2016?

 

[OptimusLime]

Somebody post the actual quote so we can parse it, now Im curious if there are words to be eaten.

 

[Krusenstern]

Pushing for 60fps I guess.

Also making room for The Last Guardian.

 

[ilikesanta]

So around the same time as the Morpheus....

 

[msdstc]

So sonys first party woes continue, very upsetting .

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Disappointing but ND has earned the benefit of the doubt that if they needed the extra time it's for the best.

 

[WickedLaharl]

I hope sony has something up their sleeve because if they don't it's going to be another shitty fall for PS4.

 

[FATALITY]

Maybe Knack 2

i wish you could stop trolling in every PS thread, its like PS4 killed your favourite console or something.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

I was refencing the graph he put entitled "How long it takes for coders to create usable graphics with the hardware." showing that they shrunk it down to 1 to 2 months, something equivalent to the PS1 era whereas the Ps3 was 6 to 12 months.

It's in the video, sorry I'm on mobile.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

I knew it. I was prepared.

I really wasn't. It looks like it's all they had for holiday 2015. I fully expected it. Hope they fix the holiday line up

 

[NickFire]

Balls. I never played uncharted (360 only) and was looking forward to this one. Life goes on, but still sucks to have to wait longer.

Also, now that they wouldn't have any genre competition, I'm guessing a certain publisher is really regretting making a deal that keeps them from being able to sell TR to at least 2/3 of the console install base when it launches. Sure seems as if the gaming gods have no mercy for 3rd parties treating PS4 as second class.

 

[sensi97]

"Time-to-triangle"

Cerny cited a concept he called "time-to-triangle," which he described as the time required to code graphical systems at a level the hardware's capable of, essentially analogous to how long it takes to create the base for games that match the hardware's graphical power. According to Cerny, the PS1's time-to-triangle was one to two months, while the powerful but more complicated PS2 had a time-to-triangle of three to six months. The PS3's time-to-triangle went up to six months to a year as a result of the complex Cell processor, well documented as turning third-party developers away from prioritizing the system.

In contrast, Cerny said the PS4's time-to-triangle is just one to two months, the same amount of time as the original PlayStation's.

But that's unrelated. Their engine already works (PS Experience demo).

 

[Pai Pai Master]

fine by me. after TLOU these guys have carte blanche to take as long as they want to finish their games and make them shine.

You're on fire today.

 

[Paganmoon]

Delayed so they can focus on helping Ninja Theory with Heavenly Sword 2, surprise release this fall.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Template? None of the assets are the same.

 

[Floridian]

LOLOLOLOLOL

Zelda next ; _ ;

Please no, I need a new 3D mario title by the end of 2016.

 

[JuanLatino]

Instead we get a beautiful smooth 60 FPS Uncharted in 2016

I hope so

Are you saying the amount of work creating a franchise and the amount of work making a sequel is the same? Because I don't think so.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I think we'll see some games get pushed to 2016. Remedy's X1 game is probably getting pushed to 2016, now Uncharted 4 as well. What's next?

 

[javie3d]

When any other studios game is delayed, everyones pissed.

But when naughty dog delays something they get praised. lol

Have you heard of Rockstargames before?

 

[HUELEN10]

I guess this means I will buy a PS4 in 2016 at the very earliest. I don't mind the wait for U4, if it's as good or better than 2, it will have been totally worth it in my book.

 

[Anth0ny]

didn't they delay TLOU as well


I think this game will turn out okay


This is not an Ubisoft "OH GOD THIS GAME IS FUCKING BROKEN" delay that results in a shitty game nonetheless. I trust Naughty Dog is delaying this game because they want it to be perfect.

 

[Floridian]

Maybe they'll hit 60 fps this time?

 

[FATALITY]

It has to do with developing on the PS4.

and where did you read that the game was delayed because of the graphics?

sigh.
you need to create a story, design the levels, characters,etc
i cant facepalm enough

 

[No Love]

Which is kind of funny since Cerny said that developing on the PS4 would be much easier and faster.

Irrelevant and out of context. It is much easier and faster, but next-gen assets still take a long time to create. Not to mention Naughty Dog is certainly increasing the complexity of multiple systems in the game vs. old Uncharted games.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Aww, this breaks my heart. A bit, I can wait. Hope they get the time they need. I'm proud of them that they were not scared to delay the game. Really great from them.

It has to do with developing on the PS4.

So you honestly related this delay as if there was an implication that the PS4 is hard to develop for, rather than Naughty Dogs wanting to improve the game content, not necessarily involved with hardware optimization?

 

[bananafactory]

When did people get angry at someone for delaying their game recently?

All the reactions I saw to The Witcher 3 delay were positive.

It's almost like reputation matters or something. Crazy huh?

Won't happen :/

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Seems to me that people tend to respond positively for the most part to a specific game being delayed. Most of the criticisms when an exclusive game is delayed fall on the platform. See the "what does X1/Ps4 holiday lineup have?" threads lol.

 

[Sid]

You'll probably change your mind down the road though if history repeats itself. The PS3 was beginning to slaughter approximately 2 - 3 years after launch with the exclusives.

It will be 2 years for the PS4 come fall 2015......

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

I was on the fence about building a Gaming pc this year or stick to my ps4... I guess I know the answer now
