Personally I'm pretty sure Uncharted will release sooner rather than later next year, all this talk from haters wishing it's going to be delayed is ridiculous, it already looked pretty polished at the reveal and the game's been in development longer than any past game in the series.
I wouldn't be shocked if it comes out before E3 next year and Sony will have GT7 as their title to market for the holidays at E3, so we'll get a decent stage demo, alongside something else that won't be announced until that conference.

Ratchet & Clank will likely be shown at this Destination Playstation event, IMO that will release a month of two before E3, Alienation and Rime will be mixed in there too.

TLG or maybe Agent releasing late next year would be awesome.

Shinobi602 has been pretty reliable as far as "insiders" go and he seems pretty sure that Horizon will get pushed back to 2016, so maybe that will be a Feb 2016 release.
I wouldn't be shocked if we get a new Sly Cooper game unveiled at one of the big conferences next year, with a release date alongside the movie.


You mean that one 30 second teaser without any gameplay? TLG had one just like that. It was shown in 2009...

I think both your predictions are wrong. It will be a while before TLG comes out. Uncharted will come out in the end of 2015 and I think might even get delayed to 2016.

lol yeah, let's equate any Naughty Dog titles' development, to that of TLG.  That's a perfectly reasonable parallel to be attempting to make.

That's a ballsy prediction but i think they're gonna have to put Uncharted head to head with Halo, so most likely Winter.

He said that "the game already looked pretty polished". I simply explained that there  is absolutely no way to tell, without them atleast showing us gameplay.

I predict that Sony will time the release of Uncharted 4 to coincide with Halo 5.

Both games will release the same week. The only exception is if another PS4 exclusive gets released around the same time (Horizon, Silent Hills if it's exclusive, something else...), they will then sandwich Halo, U4 a week before and the other week after Halo.

Yeah sure where is Jak & Daxter for the PS4?

I would. I'd be massively shocked! They need to actually announce the date a bit in advance, and considering how little we've seen so far I don't think they would even announce the release date until at least E3.

 

Naughty Dog doesn't need to do anything of the sort, not like this is common practice for Sony nowadays, I mean just look at Bloodborne and LBP3. Bloodborne had details leaked a bit before E3 this year, then it's coming out in the following Feb next year (that's only 8 months later for a far more Niche game than Uncharted), LBP3 had nothing leaked before E3, was announced at E3 (again this year) and it's coming out next month (that's only around 5 months after tha game was announced).

Sony could show a load of new gameplay at Destination Playstation and release the game in March if it's ready and that's what they wanted, hell TLOU: Remastered was announced for PS4 April 9th 2014, then it released the the 29th of July this year, that's a far less well established franchise than Uncharted. We didn't see anything in the way of even cutscenes until much closer to the release and no proper gameplay until like a week or so before that game game out on PS4.

 

Uncharted is a well established franchise, past games in the series were announced the year before they were released, this one was announced last November, this November would be a full year without the game's release happening.

If UC4 were to release at the end of May next year, it would be 18 months after the game was first announced.

There's still a little under 7 and a half months until the end of May next year.

 

BTW from a game marketing POV it's better to launch while you have a big amount of hype for a game than when that hype dies down, because the game's existance would be much fresher in peolpe's minds.

 

So far we've already had the map teaser video last year and we've seen in-engine footage, that's running on PS4, one big explosive trailer and a stage demo early next year would be plenty to make that game sell like hot cakes, TBH a release date and a few details about the game's setting would be more than enough for fans of the series to lap this game up.

Last time I checked we've seen the map teaser from the game's announcement last year and we've had in-engine footage, running in real time on PS4.

Just because we don't see any button prompts that doesn't make what was shown of the game at E3 this year a pre-rendered cutscene.

 

Maybe you should look at Bloodborne and LBP3's announcements and time to release between when they were announced and when they will actually come out, it's a lot less time than there will have been between the announcement of Uncharted and it's final release date. ;)

Even TLOU remastered was only announced 3 months before it actually came out and hardly anything of gameplay for it was shown before the game's release on PS4.

 

ND has said that they no longer want to announce a release date for their games with more than 6 months before the game will make it to release.

^This x10! People are overestimating Sony's concern to counter Halo 5. Do you have any idea how massive the sales lead will be by the time Halo comes out? lol and they are underestimating the momentum Sony has and power of Uncharted to sell like gangbusters when it drops no matter when that is. Sony has figured out how to spread its exclusives out and Ithink they found the perfect release window for Naughty Dog wit The Last of Us PS3.
