what he means is it is still a title available for the current gen xbox, as well as its predecessor.
There are things we are doing in Forza Horizon 2 on Xbox One that honestly couldnt be done on any other console Rather than thinking of them as the same game on different platforms, they are different games inspired by the same ideas.

I get that the xbone version is substantially different and greater than the 360 version. what I was trying to say is that what strongblackvine means with "still cross-gen" is that forza horizon 2 is still a title available for both the current and last gen xboxes.
Yes, we know.

Can't wait for the thread if the game ends up being 30 FPS. Because you'll know as much as I do that ND doesn't give a shit what Neogaf wants. I can bet my ass that the game wasn't delayed to please the people crying for 60 FPS. It may or may not happen and that's up to what ND thinks is best for their game.
Some threads for next year if game is 30 FPS:
"Uncharted delayed and ND still didn't get the game to 60 FPS"
"Why was UC4 delayed if they didn't make it 60 FPS"
etc
etc

We all know.
If the game is delayed and does end up being 60fps, then I think it's possible that was the reason for the delay. Either way they're probably not going to give us the specific reason. That being said, if the final game is 30fps, then there was still something in the development process that was a big enough hinder that they knew they needed more time. It doesn't matter, all that matters is that they get the game to be as perfect as they want/can.

They had already been working on TLOU:R and Uncharted 4. Uncharted 4 was supposed to release this year.
Unless they were lying about a release date and were instead using resources to get an Uncharted collection for the holidays even though UC4 was already supposed to be in the holidays, I don't see them working on a collection.

Seems like there aren't a lot of AAA games coming out this year. (Although I could be wrong.)
They said earlier they had four projects in development. Only ones announced were TLOUR and Uncharted 4. People speculated that one of the games was TLOU2 but nobody knew what the fourth one was. It wouldn't surprise me if it was an Uncharted Collection
because one and ps4 struggle pretty hard with 60fps

ND said as recently as last fall there was still no plans for an HD collection.
It's possible that something changed since then, though I can't imagine they have the resources now that U4 is in full swing.
Most likely would go to a studio like Bluepoint

I mean Sony, not Naughty Dog in particular. I doubt they have time for it.

Well at least there is something to look forward to at this year's PSX. An Uncharted 4 release date XD.
As for the Uncharted Collection remastered, I really doubt ND is in charge of it. I definitely hope someone like Bluepoint is in charge of it. Both GOW, ICO and MGS collection were great. So I really believe they are the right people for the job.

This is both terrible and great news. It sucks I'll have to wait even longer to play one of my most hyped titles but I know it will be even better when it drops.
MGSV 2015 goty confirmed!

Not surprised... I know for a fact it was in planning stages before e3... I'm pretty sure that play station experience "demo" is the only part of the game that is made.
I think the reason for delay is obvious... they don't have a game made. I mean remember... half the creative team at ND left... they needed to take time and regroup and refocus after that. They had to re-cast some characters, ... I mean... they were still doing prep work back in august... ... Games take a lot of time to make, It was dumb of people to think that they would have cranked out an uncharted by now.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
There is absolutely positively no way they would delay the release of Uncharted 4 to sell the Uncharted collection. That makes no business sense. The collection would sell maybe a small fraction of what UC4 will sell.
Thanks to the Last of Us:Remastered: the hard part for a collection has already been done. Which is porting the engine over to PS4. They (or another studio) would likely just port the Uncharted assets over to the engine that is already up and running on PS4.
The best part about these delays is when they refund you your money for your digital pre-order, which I just received an email about tonight. I pre-ordered the game months ago as part of a spend 100 dollars, get 15 back deal. Now I'll wait until they offer that deal again and pre-order the game again and get 15 back once more. Did the same thing with Bloodborne when they moved the date on that.
The more I think about this the more I am saddened. I was so hyped about getting a PS4 along with Uncharted 4 this fall, hell I would've picked up even MGS 5 with it even though I can max it on my PC, just to have something extra to play on the PS4.
It makes the wait even worse because if the game releases in like March or April, I would have to wait until E3 2016 to see if there's a hardware redesign. Oh man this complicates things so bad...

Also Uncharted 3 happened when they last tried to force something out in 2 years.
Bloodborne in two weeks bro.
And if you're not into that, I'm sure you have plenty of games to play on Steam in the meantime. Don't pressure yourself into spending money on more games you're not sure that you want when you already have some. They will wait.
Yea I tried getting into Dark Souls 2 and couldn't. And yea, there's gonna be so many games to chose from this year, Witcher, Batman and MGS will hit before fall season starts to pick up with Halo, Forza, Tomb Raider, but still, I would've traded all these combined for having Uncharted and a PS4 in November. Oh well, you can't have everything in life go as you want it.

That was also half a team. U4 will have had three years with all hands on deck and four and a half years total.

To be fair, they also said there were no plans for TLoU remastered when they certainly already had people working on it.
But I agree, I don't think they'd handle this themselves right now. I'd definitely like Bluepoint to do it.

NaughtyDog just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Playstation culture (I'm an expert), but setpieces and delays are huge parts of it. It's not like it is on Xbox where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over on Playstation, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the Playstation public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Uncharted 4 for the PS4, nor will they purchase any of NaughtyDog's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sony has alienated an entire market with this move.
NaughtyDog, publicly apologize and cancel Uncharted 4 for PS4 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

i tried
Not to mention the crappy story, the worst villain in the series to date, and some really unfair encounters even on normal, plus a recycled third act from Uncharted 2.
joining the thread late as hell it seems lol
I remember hearing they were a little upset over putting the cart before the horse in terms of announcing uncharted 3's release date early and trying to get it altogether by then. Probably don't want that to happen again.
So with that pushed back will they just do a uncharted trilogy for the ps4 to hold over people maybe? What is Sony's big release for the holidays this year?

honestly, I am glad they delayed it. I'd rather have something perfect to end Drake's adventures than something rushed. I remember being nervous that NaughtyDog had already announced a release date for Uncharted 3 with it's first (or second?) trailer. And I recall there was an interview where ND stated that they regret announcing that release date and they wanted to delay it? I've had this on preorder since last E3 on the PSN store :3
I'm fairly certain that Sony are deeply concerned about your delaying your purchase of a single system while they continue to sell 1mn+ units per month WW.
Deeply concerned.
No. Sorry.

Interesting theory.
They're all 'niche' games, and therefore like indies don't count.
And it was fantastic.
They're not. As I stated before, they don't have to try hard at this point considering the fact that their system is selling like hotcakes. It's a sad state of affairs for them at this point to be honest. Greatness Still-Awaits indeed.
Having said that, will I be getting a PS4? Most likely not this year. When it acquires some compelling console exclusives worth playing? Definitely.
I thought it sucked. Came out with broken controls, horrible multiplayer, and zero NG+ extras.

I'm with you. I thought it was the weakest of the series, with UC1 being good, UC2 being awesome and UC3 being decent. I didn't even finish UC3. I got bored in the shipyard.

UC3 had its problem, but was still good.
This one is gonna be fantastic I think. That PSX demo and Edge article told me they are on the right track and should take all the time they need to fully realize their vision.
