Shove that blu-ray into my drive Neil pls.

 

[DrXym]

Physical still accounts for the majority of sales and you can't fuck over your retailers or they'll return the favor.

It's on sale on PSN right now.

As happened with the PSPGo.

That said, console digital downloads are a scam. I can't sell the digital game, can't loan it, can't buy it from a competing download store. And yet it typically costs more than the physical title despite all the extra middlemen with their cut. A damned scam.

 

[Kaako]

My body is beyond ready for this. Let us take these fools, for one last ride.
And as with life, every journey must come to an end...

 

[GeoramA]

Excellent. Still like 7 weeks away, though

Wonder how many copies they're gonna ship worldwide. It's going to be a huge seller, no doubt.

 

[Hoo-doo]

One day this'll mean that the minute it goes gold, they can hit the 'upload to PSN' button and release it instantaneously.

Fuck yes digital future, get here already.

 

[Negotiator]

How long before we see early copies in the market?

 

[Man]

They need time to polish up that Crash Bandicoot E3 reveal.

 

[SSReborn]

This long wait in between isn't it just going to make the game more susceptible to leaks?

 

[sora87]

So... why isn't it out now digitally?

 

[Kolx]

So what are the expectations for the metacritic of the game? I'd expect 93-94. Better than UN3 yet less than UN2.

I reckon it will easily be the best in the series.

My prediction is 93 for MC though.

I am from Bangladesh and here we get games from grey market or importers who bring them. But we also get games before the release date. If Uncharted 4 gets its street date broken and available here then I might get it (at a higher price off course). Nonetheless I am eagerly waiting for the game. For the this is the worthwhile AAA exclusive that will justify my console purchase (no offense to other games that got release for PS4).

What other games?

95/96

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

If this is the best uncharted......hold me...

 

[strafer]

Will probably be press previews next month and we got the making of videos coming out every week. Will hopefully make the wait a little easier.

What game did Sam promise?

 

[Cereal Enthusiast]

They would still have to do marketing and that type of stuff (sending review code to press etc.).

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

Qb?

97, I know that Balestra was sad that Last of Us was below Uncharted 2, I'm sure this time they've done everything to be above it.

 

[zsynqx]

97, I know that Balestra was sad that Last of Us was below Uncharted 2, I'm sure this time they've done everything to be above it.

No way.

The game could very well be better than both those games, but 97 meta just isn't happening. (Would love to be proven wrong)

What game did Sam promise?

Quantum Break

 

[Gurish]

So what are the expectations for the metacritic of the game? I'd expect 93-94. Better than UN3 yet less than UN2.

If it's a masterpiece than 92-93, it can be better than U2 but it won't get the same 9.6, such scores are extremely rare these days, averages are not as high as they used to be, it's almost impossible to get such score unless it's an amazing groundbreaking masterpiece (and I think U4 will be a masterpiece, possibly a GOTY and the best game in the series, but I'm not sure about the groundbreaking part)

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Good.

Now get on that day 1 patch.

 

[GIANKRATOS]

There was already the Assassin's Creed concept art thing.

And the Nadine thing. And the Henning thing. Lol this game already had plenty of controversy and it's not even out.

 

[Bright-Light]

So what are the expectations for the metacritic of the game? I'd expect 93-94. Better than UN3 yet less than UN2.

Big. I think Uncharted, Quantum break and Dark souls 3 will all score between 90-95. April/May 10th is gonna be amazing.

Plus Ratchet nd clank that im hoping will be a solid 80 game.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

7 weeks, when originally we'd have got it next week? Sad face.

 

[zsynqx]

7 weeks, when originally we'd have got it next week? Sad face.

Originally we would have had it yesterday.

No, originally we would've played this in 2015.

aha good point.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

[demosthenes]

Yeeeeees.

 

[jpd1408]

Can't wait!

 

[The God]

Uncharted 4 will outscore Uncharted 2 and become ND's highest rated game, or it will say least tie it at 96.

 

[Itachi87]

So why was this game delayed to May 10th? Seems silly to have to wait almost 2 months for no reason.

 

[Kralamoonard]

What a birthday present to wake up to

 

[cheesekao]

Gotta print those discs and ship them out worldwide yo.

 

[Loudninja]

They already told us why.

 

[blastprocessor]

Time to book some annual leave off.

 

[Krakin]

hype!

 

[Nightengale]

To print more disc~

Even if we don't believe that excuse, it's clearly a delay on Sony's end. Either they've got a hiccup in the production line that needs an extra weeks to print/ship disc globally, something messed up in their marketing plans that they can only execute them by May 10 or whatnot.

There's more to a game launch than just the game being done. Bruce and Neil are not going to get to rest anytime soon, I'd wager.

UC4 will probably get a dazzling pre-launch press tour travelling the world and letting press play the game for the first time.

 

[eFKac]

So what are the expectations for the metacritic of the game? I'd expect 93-94. Better than UN3 yet less than UN2.

90-91

I expect it to be easily the best Uncharted yet, but I think the critics are so deep invested in Open World games that a linear game will get brought down due to "only 12 hours campaign!" "not enough content!" "very few options!"
And the general market is not yet at a point where everyone is fed up with the Open World bloat and a linear game feels super refreshing.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Oh boy, i can't freaking wait.

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

I expect it to be in the 90's if it ends up being under the 90's neogaf will be a mass grave

 

[Chris Metal]

A full 48.678 GB, hmm considering all the cutscenes are real-time now could bode well for length, though all the assets are much higher quality now too... I hope it is the longest Uncharted game. TLOU was a good length, but also slower paced.

 

[Jigolo]

Is the box art final yet?

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

So what are the expectations for the metacritic of the game? I'd expect 93-94. Better than UN3 yet less than UN2.

I'll go with 95.

 

[ironcreed]

Pre-ordered and waiting. The game looks absolutely nuts.

 

[Represent.]

95 metacritic

and 11-13 million in sales. games gonna be huge.

I can see it. Given the fact that Uncharted 4 seems to feature larger environments and focus more on exploration thanks to the addition of vehicles, this type of gameplay should most likely translate into a longer game.

The Last of Us' length or Tomb Raider's would be great for Drake's final journey.

0 chances for that to happen

 

[reKon]

Uncharted with TLoU cat and mouse gameplay means that this is probably going to be my most repayable campaign ever. I beat Uncharted 2 like 3 times..

I don't normally do that with shooters

Uncharted 4 on PC confirmed.

 

[Lys Skygge]

I'm so excited for Uncharted 4! I recently beat Uncharted: Drakes Fortune on crushing and got the Platnium; I'm going to do the same for Uncharted 2 & 3. My plan is to have the Platnium for U3 one week before Uncharted 4s release. It's my way of dealing with the wait
