Greatness Awaits!

It's probably just a stock countdown. It's saying UC4 will launch a week after Christmas 2015. That wouldn't make any sense at all :p



we all know it's October or November anyway..

i'm more curious about release dates for other games..

It seems that Sony’s ICE team are not the only wizards who put in all the hard work in optimizing the console’s GPU driver and graphics API. A little known team called as SN Systems are also working on optimizing PlayStation platforms.

As revealed by Sony’s ICE Team Programmer Cort Stratton, the Razor Team [SN systems] is actually a part of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. So what does the team do? Quite a lot of things.  They are working on the PlayStation 4′s GPU performance analysis and debugging tool, and Razor, a CPU profiler for the PlayStation 4.

Razor Profiler showing which function is taking the most time and other parameters.

SN Sytem’s official website also reveals a few interesting details on what they are currently working on and how they are trying to squeeze every bit of performance out of the PlayStation platforms. Using the Razor Profiler’s Program Counter, developers can find out what functions are being called and executed the most. Termed as ‘hot’ functions, Razor allows developers to get a visual overview along with timings for each and every function that is being executed. This helps developers to find out which functions are taking too long execute which results into optimized coding and programming. In the end a few microseconds could be the difference between a game running at 30fps or 60fps.

The advantages of dead stripping and de-duplication in middleware demos and PlayStation 4 games.

Given that storage isn’t getting any cheaper, SN Systems further optimization works include dead stripping and de-duplication. The former is about removing unused code from the executable files since that particular portion is ‘dead’. Dead Stripping reduces executable size by around 5-10%. De-duplication further optimizes the executable file by removing duplicate copies of the code and read only data. In this way multiple references to the original are removed, resulting into a reduction in executable size of 1-2%.

Uncharted releasing a week after xmas would be funny. Probably gonna be September or October.


If the going with it as a holiday title, which is probable, my guess would be November like previous Uncharted games. Hoping Sony has another big title for holiday, let's say Gran Turismo 7 + Morpheus launch, and GG's New IP for vanilla PS4, and they will pull another  TLoU with a June release. But it's most probably the former.
