Forums - Sony - Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us GOTY Edition Doubtful for 2014

Drakrami on 24 January 2014

Pretty sure uncharted 4 started development back start of 2012. It really depends what kind of uncharted they are planning to make?

A game that will revolutionize the series again, that's gonna take at least 3 years
or
A game that builds upon what made the first 3 games successful, that's gonna take 2 year i think.


And I'm also pretty sure Sony knows they need to roll out AAA games to keep up ps4's sales momentum. So a Naughty Dog game in 2014 is highly likely.

I think it has more to do with the 1 story based DLC. Or they want everyone focusing on UC4.

Well that DLC releases in February, they still could release a GOTY edition in the summer or something. Also why would they want people to focus on UC4 if it's not releasing anyway? :D

I meant their full team.

I don't get it. A GOTY edition would be nothing but the game with all the DLC included and a cover that says "GOTY Edition" or something, how would that take up any significant amount of work on Naughty Dogs part?

Eh, not sure. It would literally make sense for TLOU to have a GOTY Edition since it's won so many GOTY awards. But there has to be some reason why they aren't putting it out.

Yeah, there has to be some reason. Like I said, it's weird.

This could be because the game retains its high price tag very well. Not sure about the US but it's still €50 over here - most PS3 games rapidly drop in price. There's no reason to release a €30 GOTY edition when you can sell the core game at a higher price and sell the DLC separately.

Either that or there'll be a PS4 version - I'd actually dig that a lot as I haven't played the game yet (and if I can get the PS3 version for 50 bucks or the better looking PS4 GOTY edition for 60 - yeah, I'd go PS4 then).

Not the 1st party games. I remember Heavenly Sword and Uncharted 1 being $60 at retail all the way up til late 2009.

Funny, I've heard that point used too many times but not once have I heard anyone admit that development started in 2012.

Well, I don't know about those two but I hardly ever buy PS3 games above €30 and I own some first party games. The only games that consistently keep their price are Nintendo's first party titles. (I'm not saying any of this is related to software quality)

I don't have the names or the facts, but I'm under the assumption that the guys who worked on LastofUs are totally different people than the ones who worked on UC3. 

 

Unless you the UC3 team have been taking a vacation since UC3 came out, which was 2011, yes, they have been working on a new game since 2012.

Okay, don't really care though.

It may be an economic thing. Mario games, for example, have great legs. And Nintendo knows that. They know several million units are gonna be sold, but at the same time, the sales aren't front loaded like a Halo or Call of Duty. So they'll let their games stay at full price for years knowing people are gonna buy them. Whereas, with COD, for example, the bulk of the sales come in the first months, and then die off, so price cuts down the road spur sales. If Mario games sold 10M copies in the first month, I doubt the game would be full price a year later (unless Mario started selling like 50M every release =/ )
