By a long shot.

Basically, all this did for me is determine that I'm in fact not picking up Doom. Never played a Doom before, however the new one looks slick as fuck, but with it coming out 3 days after Uncharted 4 now it'll have to wait. I'll end up picking it up on sale.

[plutoknight]

Conspiracy theories?

I would've been fine if they said something like "we detected a bug that for some reason we didn't notice before" or "the multiplayer server stuff still needs a little polishing to avoid lag" or maybe it really is about manufacturing the retail stuff and I'm just bugging out.

I bet it's a combination of multiplayer and physical stuff.

Maybe their manufacturer ran into issues pressing the discs? Maybe multiplayer servers fried upon plug in? 2 weeks is such an odd delay since you can't really -do- a whole lot in 2 weeks in terms of features/etc. Maybe squash some bugs.

I do almost wonder if this is simply to let Ratchet and Clank breathe.

 

[william_557]

words cannot describe how upset i am! but i'll be playing dark souls 3 in the meantime i suppose =(

"We are sorry to announce another delay to June 15th in order to manufacture more covers with the fugly "day 1 edition" banners since we know how much players enjoy those"

 

[UnObtainium17]

Someone better turn that kaz gif hand stamping the gt5 discs into uncharted 4 lol.

 

[Papacheeks]

You know what, I know people like myself are bummed and pissed. But it would explain the open beta this week that does not require plus.
And I personally think it actually helps Sony.

This means Ratchet and clank will have more time to be in the spot light.

I mean I am bummed, but it already was coming at the end of April , so to me that gives me more time to keep playing street fighter, ratchet and clank.

Well, let me be the first to not be shocked when this thing comes in hot and messy

Wait, a Rachet and Clank game released? I've heard nothing about it.

A shot in the dark? Or do you have reasons other than the delays (and Ubi Pic) for these thoughts?

I don't think I've ever heard of a game running out of discs at a retailer. Every big game I've gotten day 1 has had plenty. Can't believe they need an extra two weeks to make more discs when the "original" release date was still over a month from now. But maybe they are planning on working on the game until the last minute so that left no time to put it on discs? Idk, it's a bummer man.

I have no idea how the system works, but I imagine that the global blu-ray "pressing" capacity per month is close to the the global average demand per month. It's possible that There were a surge in orders from other games, movies, software etc.

I think The Force Awakens blu-raymight be releasing around the same time and could have taken priority. It's possible that blu-ray pressing capacity that is never really a concern for Sony al of a sudden became a concern with their biggest game of the year needing the same production window as the biggest movie of the year.

An elongated manufacture process is eventually good. A non-elongated manufacture process is non-elongated forever.

i have uncharted 3 being a buggy mess at launch, uncharted 2 being buggy to the point of hard crashing at least once at launch, and years of watching this game churn and constantly delayed to back up my hunch.

If past behavior is truly indicative of future behavior then i'm just making a relatively safe bet regarding the next uncharted game

Despite all my rage, I am still just a gamer whose aged.

 

[whoszed]

Can't wait to play Uncharted 4 in fall 2016

 

[Artex]

Meh, if it means the game is more polished then what's the issue? It's two weeks.

It says it's regarding manufacturing.

 

[lukeskymac]

On one hand,

on the other hand, wow there are some fantastic shitposts in this thread. The salt's going to be delicious early next year when this (probably) sweeps GOTYs left and right.

I hate how these release periods always happen. You get literal months of dry game releases then suddenly "YO, HERE. HERE'S EVERYTHING." Fucking Uncharted 4, Quantum Break, Doom, and Mirror's Edge. And that's just the games I'm interested in, there's a fuck-ton more over the next three months.

if that's the case then I think they should mention that. if it really is just for manufacturing purposes I really don't see why they'd realize they'd need to delay it, this late into production. they should've thought of it long ago

It comes out April 12th.

Naughty Dog's tweet also implies it wasn't their decision to delay it.

 

[Snkfanatic]

That's fine by me. Will be playing Dark Souls, take all the time you need ND. I will still be there.

I know I was just messing with you. I love Uncharted and have played every Doom since the first one so I'll be getting both. The new one looks sick!

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

R&C saved

Im getting R&C, Dark Souls 3, and Uncharted 4!!! Damn i need to clone myself....

 

[sense]

yea i noticed a couple of tweets from naughty dog that said sony and playstation want the game out on the 10th for a smooth launch instead of them needing the extra two weeks.

 

[ssharm02]

guess they need some more time to remove all the plagiarized artwork, that is undoubtedly spread across the game

 

[daveo42]

They need more time to fix all the "placeholder" art in the game.

Take the time you need guys. You make some of the best single-player experiences in the business and I'm sure this will be one of your best.

Oh yeah, I knew you were joking. I was just kinda venting how there's going to be too many games and too little time and money soon. I just took a peek at the entire 2016 schedule and... my wallet is not ready. First world problems, I know. XD

The Last of Us, Left Behind and the remaster were solid though, and that's the ND producing UC4.

 

[SolidAwesome]

there is nothing in a game that would hold it for 2 weeks. I believe sony wanted the ww release

 

[Majek]

LOL Druckmann>Amy

By a long shot.

Really? Did have to make a game yet, where maps where created first to show of the new engine and then had to write a story around them? Or has he had an important actor leave mid production while the release date was set in stone? When he manages all that and the game turns out better than U3, then we can talk.

TLOU is ND's best game.

You are correct. That's why they said they needed the extra time to manufacture more copies of the game and to be ready for a worldwide release on the same day instead of the previous staggered release dates they had. From the looks of it it seems it was nothing but a decision made purely by logistics and release date.

Druckmann's first game as creative director was TLoU. I think he's proven himself already and then some.

 

[Tankshell]

Great. So it has moved from a nice uneventful Friday I had booked off work and intended to play all day long, to the day of my wedding anniversary, a day on which NO GAMING can possibly take place unless I want a divorce.

FUCK YOU RELEASE DATE GODS.

 

[DISSESHOWEDO]

I'm actually as calm as I can be, thank you. I'm a Souls fan (check my history) so the extra wait really means nothing to me since I'll be playing DS III for the entire duration of it.

I just don't like how people on GAF act like ND (and few other devs) can do nothing wrong even when something like this happens, which clearly is a fault on their part.

Buy hey don't mind me, continue with your ND praising.

Nice dodging skills you have there but still dies not take away that your incompetent claim is false!

Speaking of DSIII i appreciate the delay as i have a backlog and it will only get bigger!


Ps
Please explain to me why you mentioned "console war BS" as my intention was completly different!

 

[mushroommg]

In other words, four weekends for dark souls 3, should be enough for my first walkthrough.

 

[cheesekao]

Ever thought that there could have been a large influx of late pre-orders, as in, later than when they decided on an amount of discs to print?

 

[Raven117]

Meh, gives me more time with Dark Souls 3.... So Im good with this.
