Uncharted 4 delayed two weeks to May 10

I have a business trip on the original release date and was afraid of spoilers. Not totally upset, although this makes it way more likely I skip Doom
 
That can easily be taken as a bad excuse to delay the game.

It might be true, but that sounds better than "we need to delay the game yet another time to make it as good it can be".
Its 2 weeks what do you expect them to do in that time?

I am really dont get this.
 
Three separate delays for a game from a studio that was previously known for hitting their release dates (with the exception of TLoU seeing a single delay) is an indication to me of at the very least poor management. Three separate delays is straight up something you would expect from small inexperienced studios not cornerstone first party studios. Regardless of the reasons behind these delays seeing a major hallmark studio delay a game three separate times seems pretty damn suspect to me.
The 3rd delay is said to be to manufacture more copies and Arne came by and reiterated that. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that's something ND has control over and the link says that the game is still on track to go gold at the end of the month...
 
"To make sure more people can play it on Day 1" is a weird way to put it. They're making it so nobody can play it on 'Day 1' and are releasing it on 'Day 14'. :)

I've been trying to avoid any media (like the recent story trailer) and this delay will make things a bit harder, but I'm fine with it.
 
This sucks, I was hoping that i'd have more time with the game before I shipped off to basic training, any more delays and I don't even think i'll be able to beat the main campaign before I leave.

I wouldn't say nobody. Large world-wide releases mean someone will post a complete Let's Play long before May 10th.
 
Nolan North and Troy Baker are going to be at a comic convention near me on April 28, and I was hoping to get my copy signed! Looks like I'm bringing The Last of Us instead.
 
its more like 5 months at this point
I'd rather five months of a delay than five months of insufferable complaints on GAF over some unpolished shit from releasing a game before it's ready. Hell, people are STILL complaining about the Uncharted 3 aiming fiasco. It's 5 months, we'll live.
 
No it was not.

My fault, mixed up the dates. But my point that the manufacturing reasoning can be taken as a bad excuse still stands. We can argue back and forth, but I simply don't believe that PlayStation did not anticipate the game selling gangbusters.
 
No fuck! Goddammit! I'll be overseas between May 7 and 14, so I won't get to play it until I get back.

Goddammit, ND

All according to keikaku.

But there's no evidence otherwise (yet).
 
Take your time. Just release it when it's ready. Push it back to 2017 for all I care. There's enough coming out this year as it is.

You could bring an empty PS4 case and put the U4 sleeve in it when it releases.

Unless you're getting the steelbook version :P
