Bold Prediction: Uncharted 4 won't be as good as Rise of the Tomb Raider (Metacritic)

Uh huh. Skyrim also came out in 2011, and was four years ahead of Fallout 4. The world size is pretty much the exact same (and honestly, in terms of useable terrain, probably leans towards Skyrim since a large portion of Fallout 4's map is bodies of water).

And I get that that's the main point of your second half, I'm just not sure how it's related to a discussion on whether U4 will be graded more highly than RotTR...at all. Sony and Naughty Dog's attitude towards letting go of a particular franchise has no bearing on review scores, other than perhaps reviewers are less likely to get fatigued of a certain formula. Considering this is the fifth Uncharted game within the last eight years, I seriously doubt that will play into Uncharted's favor going up against a reboot that's on its second installment. 

The last point was bringing home the fact that this is their last game with Uncharted, period. All we can do is wait and see what they've envisioned gameplay-wise for Uncharted. The review scores will depend on their output, this this level of pressure is nothing new to them. They set the pressure upon themselves which is admirable for any person or company who aspires for greatness.

As for Skyrim, that game cannot be compared to Uncharted.  Understandable point, but only in true open world games.

I agree, the games aren't comparable. My point is simply that major devlopments that can only occur through the use of new hardware usually don't come until later in a console's lifecycle; I doubt having new hardware will lead to anything that truly wows us from a technical standpoint besides graphics.
