You have some inside info, because right now all you're saying is pure BS in my opinion. Do you know when ND started working on Uncharted 4 and when Ninty started working on Zelda? No, I don't think so. Plus they all have their problems they are facing with development so who knows how long it will take them to tackle their tasks. For instance, Uncharted is a much more realistic and graphically better looking game thus they have to spend much more time on the graphics department in comparison to Zelda. But then you have Zelda being open world and Uncharted is not. So all in all, You're just guessing. |
I'm not guessing here, I stated facts and didn't make a hard claim.
1. Developers do sit on games that have gone gold until there's a suitable window, this isn't up for debate.
2. I never said they'd finish it in September and sit their with their thumbs up their asses, they could be doing tweaks, working on dlc, or just allocating resources to successive projects. ND wouldn't be the first company to do this if it's the case, and that's a fact.
3. Even if two games began development on the same day and had the same launch day, the games can have drastically different development schedules.
I would say ND has several GIGANTIC advantages over Nintendo in their development cycle for UC4 over Zelda U. ND has a wealth of experience producing HD games, whereas Nintendo clearly struggled to adapt to HD development. This is the first HD game for the Zelda team and they have to make it open world on Wii U hardware. As they make promises for its release date they put a lot more pressure on themselves, and the fact that Nintendo is almost exclusively supporting the Wii U atm means they need a much stricter production cycle. ND could take a month off to smoke pot and bang hookers in Amsterdam then delay the game an extra 2 months and Sony wouldn't really give a damn because they have so much in the works going forward
The point I'm trying to make in my roundabout manner is that ND is faster at HD development, so even with the same amount of time, the odds of Zelda being at the same stage of development as UC4 is unlikely considering a game as "simple" as SM3DW took Nintendo a year longer than they had intended, and they're cramming to get Zelda U to launch within the same window.
