I sure hope this game has a physical manual and alternative cover when you're off printing more discs

 

[names2hard4you]

I'm not upset or anything, but I don't understand why people are saying things like "get a grip" or "let's overreact" sarcastically. How many times has this title been delayed now? I'm all for a great product and can't wait to play, but I can understand why people are mad, I'm not throwing stones at them since they are right.

 

[Boke1879]

They gave the reason in the OP and arne gave the reason.

Oh I know but people are acting that reason isn't valid. Even I'll admit it's kinda odd but I don't know the logistics of everything or what ND want to accomplish.

I'm sure ND don't want to keep delaying this game because they know it isn't a good look, but it won't matter once it starts reviewing well and we have it in our hands.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

"Usable graphic" != "Good graphic"

 

[todd360]

I scheduled my vacation around uncharted... I imagine trying to change it would be like pulling teeth. I wish I could change it to start on the day dark souls 3 comes out.

 

[robotrock]

hahaha I bet they're looking through every asset to make sure it's theirs

 

[wenis]

They could let the people who bought it digitally play it on the original release date...

Or, and this is a strange one, you can just be patient and wait.

In the end, people will believe what they want to.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Thank fucking christ

I can play Ratchet PS4 to the fullest before UC4 drops.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Fine with me. Polish dat polish Naughty Dog!

 

[AdanVC]

Two weeks isn't a big deal.

C'mon, people. Get a grip lol

Yeah probably by that time there would be someone with a copy of the game leaking the whole campaign/playthrough and everything like people were doing with Fallout 4.

Just seems dumb to complain about not getting a better/polished game. Imo

 

[ViewtifulJC]

C'mon, people. Get a grip lol

its more like 5 months at this point

 

[NastyBook]

Ratchet LIVES!!

 

[KevinG]

Fuck! 3 days before Doom.

This spells Doom for Doom!

 

[RedAssedApe]

That's fine. I was worried about having time for dark souls 3

 

[Massa]

This fits perfectly for me. Gives me 4 weeks to play Dark Souls 3 and Ratchet before UC4 and a couple weeks to play UC4 before Mirror's Edge.

At the end of the day. It's just video games. I understand the frustration. We all want to play this but it's a 2 week delay.

 

[TheRealTalker]

LMAO ))))

what ever man we waited long enough either way

 

[TheOctodad]

No problem, more time for Dark Souls 3.

 

[Megasoum]

If only people would finally give up and move on from the useless physical media.

 

[Jigolo]

This is probably true but it's also true that games are now WAY more complex to make than they were back then.

 

[antitrop]

I'm sure ND don't want to keep delaying this game because they know it isn't a good look, but it won't matter once it starts reviewing well and we have it in our hands.

It's true, but damn does it sting right now.

Same week as DOOM, my eyeballs are going to fall out of the sockets.

 

[ronco2000]

They better extend the BETA this weekend for all the butthurt including mine!!

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

More time with my Rift and Vive then.

 

[Omnistalgic]

It's two week though lol...

 

[MikeE21286]

How many times has this happened...?

I mean the management over there looks pretty silly. I'd be embarrassed honestly.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Called it

This just keeps on going

 

[Salz01]

Failing to see how extra manufacturing time = something is rotten. Shawn's post lays it out how it is.

But if you know there are x amount of playstations out there then you know roughly how many discs to press beforehand. I would have thought a group specifically forecasts demand weeks before release.

 

[jediyoshi]

This isn't about polishing the game. Read the blog post.

Did I say it was? Read both of our posts again, I explicitly made a distinction between there being an issue with the game itself and any other factors. If the poster wasn't happy with the 'excuse', maybe solace should be taken that, with the game itself, there isn't anything at odds being reported.

 

[crinale]

More like Limited Edition production issue?
Simply printing Blu-Ray disks & manuals and making other things must take different timeframe.

 

[Lingitiz]

Not a big deal since April has a bunch of games. Still though ND isn't exactly great with meeting release dates they set after this game and TLOU. I guess if any studio has the pull to ask for delays it's them, especially after the crunch of UC3.

 

[PeterLegend]

Jeesh, don't announce a release date until youre ready...

 

[names2hard4you]

Just seems dumb to complain about not getting a better/polished game. Imo

It's not being polished anymore, this is post-production.

At the end of the day. It's just video games. I understand the frustration. We all want to play this but it's a 2 week delay.

Totally with you on that. I had a release conflict with Stranger of Sword City releasing on the same day, so now I'm good. But it's a bad image if you just keep pushing your product back like this. I feel like it would have just been better for them to keep the release date under wraps until they had something solid.

The game will (supposedly) release in May and that will be that. If this was another extensive delay, sure, but it is 2 weeks. 2 weeks.

Throw around some Ubi art jokes and call it a night.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Naw, everyone trusts ND.

Its just, extra manufacturing time? I've personally never heard of that before. I think thats why everyone is just like "wtf?"

 

[BumRush]

I'm actually happy about this as it will give me a chance to finish DS3 first. Two weeks isn't bad.

 

[Balmung421]

Can't imagine what those two weeks will look like at naughty dog at that time. I have waited this long so two weeks Is nothing to me

 

[RoboPlato]

This one is extra annoying because it's so short and announced so close to release but two weeks isn't long. This and Doom in the same week is bliss.

 

[entremet]

Works for Nintendo.

These are benefits of being a first party.

Take your time, Druckmann. Polish this sucker up!

 

[Boke1879]

Was this game always a WW release?

 

[orochi91]

Delayed due to high demand WW?

In that case, I'm expecting some big launch numbers .

 

[Angel_DvA]

Uncharted 4 numbers will be crazy, more than 5m easily at the end...

 

[Dsyndrome]

You gotta be f'ing kidding me...

At least a lot is coming out early this year, I guess.

The game underwent a rather heavy change in terms of development though when Amy Hennig left and Druckman and Straley took over.
It's only natural

There are more and more unfinished games coming out lately, or logistics that have been fucked up with missing stuff or bad handling of preordered numbers.

Just give them some time.
For those who took some holidays it's surely something those people need to vent about, but apart from that people need to calm down...

 

[Fat4all]

Unless they have updated forecasts that say they should print more.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Ratchet saved.

Insomniac cartwheeling it to the bank!

Yep Insomniac is the big winner.

Don't know why people are talking about QB or Dark Souls III.

 

[BaraSailey]

Damn it!! At least it's only two weeks and not months, haha. Can't wait to finally play this

 

[entremet]

It's obviously regarding the online component and server stability. Pre-orders must be really good.
