[Zombie James]

You've got to be kidding me. This is the worst timing.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Fucking lol. This popped into my head too.

No, but seriously, anyone think there will be another delay?

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Uncharted 4 has gotten delayed more times than a hooker that's not on birth control.

 

[pager99]

Ffs, that's my.contribution

 

[KatamariOnTheRocks]

Guess they really needed to work on getting rid that AC4 artwork.

Double checking every art asset.

 

[Isotope]

Gives me plenty of time to finish UC 2 and 3 now, so that's appreciated.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

I can't help but feel like ND had a faster turn rate on the alien architecture of the PS3 than they've had on PS4.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

So extra manufacturing time for a game that is already 6+ weeks out and will be available digitally....

Hm.

 

[t0rment]

that's the lamest excuse for a delay i've ever heard.

 

[botty]

anti teas.

 

[GnarkillZA]

Three days before Doom, are you kidding me? Going to have to do some serious time management between the two.

 

[Oni Jazar]

Dying to play this but I expect to be very busy with The Division and Dark Souls III so I'll survive.

 

[Gray Matter]

what was the point of releasing that hype trailer last week confirming the release date? this is really weird

Second time they've done this, first at PSX with druckmann reassuring that it will release in March and now this, with the trailer last week.

 

[boredandlazy]

Hmmm. Damn.

Oh well. Not much we can do about it. Just have to get my fix in the beta this weekend I guess.

 

[jediyoshi]

that's the lamest excuse for a delay i've ever heard.

Would you rather there be something more critically wrong with the game itself?

 

[R_thanatos]

Excellent , i needed more time to finish other games.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Giving more room for Ratchet, good.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Frothing demand.

Yeah, probably, haha. I'll still buy the game though. You fuckers have me by the balls.

So extra manufacturing time for a game that is already 6+ weeks out and will be available digitally....

Hm.

My honest belief? This game is going to go gold at the last possible second, so Sony needs more time with the master.

 

[arne]

Physical retail is still a huge chunk of console game sales.

 

[Carbonox]

I'm OK with this. Dark Souls and Ratchet will take up April for me.

 

[PlatypusDude]

This game feels like Brawl did back in the day. Keeps getting small delays so close to release date. Have high hopes for the game though.

Also, don't like this new date solely because it pushes the game so close to my finals ah well what can I do.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

that's the lamest excuse for a delay i've ever heard.

So you enjoy day one games with bug and bad performance?

 

[wapplew]

Never trust ND on release date ever again!

 

[JMY86]

I think this game ends up getting delayed until Fall.

 

[sjay1994]

Well, more time to play DS3

 

[Boke1879]

Would you rather there be something more critically wrong with the game itself?

Seriously. 2 weeks isn't to polish the game. I can believe this reason. I doubt anything is wrong with the game and it seems they are doing a true WW release now. Maybe that's what they want.

I admit it sucks but we're all going to play the game regardless and I'm sure it'll be quality.

 

[jett]

Needed more time to create phat models of every character in the game, obviously.

 

[RexNovis]

Oh woe is me. 😔

3 delays... Seriously WTF is going on at Naughty Dog that they were forced to delay the game three separate times?

One delay: ok I can understand that.
Two delays: ok well clearly they need extra time.
Three delays: something is rotten in the studio of Naughty Dog.

 

[finalflame]

Luckily there are plenty of other games I am far, far more excited for, so this doesn't faze me one bit.

Gross overreaction. Tons of unexpected issues can come up, even towards the end of production/development. Would you prefer they release an incomplete game? Because I guarantee you people would be bitching and moaning if the game was subpar at launch, too. You just can't win with everyone.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

At this point UC4 better not have a day one patch ;P

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Wheres that Star Trek Last Guardian gif

 

[entremet]

Two weeks isn't a big deal.

C'mon, people. Get a grip lol

 

[Squire]

Never said they were scared.
But many games do world wide releases. I don't know how they could've figured April 26th would work before, but now all of a sudden they can't make enough copies. Like nobody did the math or something when they came up with the April date. I don't really believe it.

"We need to press more copies of the latest installment in our award-winning, multi-million selling franchise, that we went to the trouble of advertising in movie theaters, that's launching on our current console, which is potentially in more than 35m homes."

Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

 

[Olengie]

Dammit

 

[Sn4ke_911]

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

 

[Cornbread78]

Well, I guess that means that I have more time to start and finish Disgaea 5, Battlefield Hardline, Battlefront, Dragon Quest Hereos, Omega Quintet, Uncharted Collection, the PS+ games and more BO3 MP action. I'm good with PS4 backlog for now, lol.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Quick everyone lets overreact.

 

[Persona7]

gotta delete the level based on the stolen ubisoft concept art

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

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

 

[GhostBed]

Pretty crazy. More time for Dark Souls i guess.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Doughnut Elena >>>>>>> Doughtnut Sully >>> Doughnut Drake.

 

[Goreomedy]

Why are you guys bumping the old Uncharted delay threa-,

oh....

 

[DKHF]

Well it's disappointing and 3 delays feels like pushing it but I'm glad it's only to get a global release date and not because the game really needs the extra time (at least they say so...).

That will be 2 years and 11 months since TLOU, which I believe is Naughty Dog's longest dev cycle ever? Hopefully it makes for their best game.

 

[icespide]

has anyone made a joke about Ubisoft art yet?

 

[sora87]

We'll be lucky to get one more game out of them before this gen ends at this rate.

Spoiler

It better be a new IP too.

 

[Portugeezer]

 

[Storm Chamber]

Maybe now it'll be able to run at 60fps

 

[Fat4all]

has anyone made a joke about Ubisoft art yet?

Nope, go for it.

 

[Ame]

Fuck! 3 days before Doom.
