Yeah because Amazon totally knows the release date! /s

The game will have been in development for ~3 years in november this year. There is no reason not too think it could very possibly have a 2014 release date. Granted they have practically all control over the game so they can delay to 2015 if they want. And the last we've heard from Verendus on gaf a couple days ago is they are targeting 2014 release date.

And yes some people have a weird vendetta against gaf and insiders here it seems. Not saying he is right, but 2014 being a possibility seems plausible and I don't see why just because we haven't seen any gameplay doesn't mean it won't come. Sony continually says The Order is coming this year and guess what........we haven't seen gameplay.


We've seen in game screens haven't we?

Sure, but about 5 months after it's E3 debut.  They were shown in the Gameinformer november issue.  Unless there were some before that that I cannot remember.

They had it in 2014 in the first place?

I see no reason why not!  

They're not gonna release 2 Third Person game within the same 3 month period during the first Holiday, that would be very counter productive. As soon as the Order 1886 got pushed to later in the year, it was a given that Uncharted would be a 2015 game.

And we haven't seen or heard ANYTHING about Uncharted besides that trailer with "UNCHARTED" in it.



Just in case anyone isn't aware, since it sounds like some people think Naughty Dog is a single team studio, they actually run with two full teams. The studio was split after Uncharted 2 with one team working on a sequel while the other team worked on a new IP that ended up being The Last of Us. The team that did Uncharted 3 has been working on the next game since shortly after they finished their last project. Unless you want to believe that the team which did Uncharted 3 took a vacation of one year or longer.

A Naughty Dog team has never taken longer than three and a half years to release a game after their last project. That game was The Last of Us which was a new IP that was started right after the studio split in two and it was delayed. It's not like this is a new IP. They've been working on this franchise for quite a few years now. It being on a new platform hardly matters considering who we're talking about. A studio that released a new IP on a new platform within two years of its last project for three generations in a row (Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter, Uncharted).

So if you're wondering why anyone would believe that Uncharted 4 is coming within three years after the last Uncharted game and not even being bothered that The Last of Us launched last summer, that's why.

A third person view is the only thing Uncharted seems to have in common with The Order. I really don't think it's a big deal to release a Gears of War-esque third-person shooter within three months of a Tomb Raider-esque third-person action platformer. That would be like worrying that Skyrim was going to take sales away from Battlefield 3.

No gameplay *shown is the only reason I'm thinking it's 2015. Although, some companies can get away with this.

Yeah this^. A one and a bit year time to launch a game after announcement sounds quite short and atypical of sony. I would say its going to be an early 2015 release.

more time to polish it
this entry is very critical to the franchise imo, i want to see some major changes more balance MP, make drake more of a bad ass, introduce more interesting characters, cant have the games story be similar to the last 3 plot felt very similar for all 3 games last gen

They've been working on the game since Uncharted 3 released, its not unreasonable for a 2014 release.


Have they? I was under the impression that they started development with a small team Summer 2012 and then full development after TLOU came out.

Where did you hear that may I ask?


And where did you hear they started working on it since Uncharted 3 released may I ask?

¬_¬



2015 would be too far out though. November or December 2014 would be the perfect time to release the next Uncharted considering that it will be the holidays and it would be around a year since the teaser video which is how long they usually wait between the initial announcement and game release. I would be surprised if it was pushed back to 2015.
