Why Uncharted 4"s Delay Won't Affect Me

Poli Games, talks about the recent announcement, that Uncharted 4 is being delayed again. Though it is only a 2 week delay, it’s fair to say that people are getting tired of waiting. With that being said Poli Games host Joseph talk about why this new delay doesn't bother him much. Also Joseph talks about how Uncharted delay differs from Mighty No. 9's multiple delays.

[Rookie_Monster]

It affects me. I planned and received two days off on the previous release date a month ago. Now, I have to reschedule it again. A bit annoying but hopefully this is the last time the release date gets push back.

[Genuine-User]

If you're into platformers, buy yourself a copy of Ratchet & Clank on the PS4.

[PeaSFor]

at this point i dont care about the small delay, ND will release the game they want in the state they want and i respect them for doing that, i preordered the game a long time ago and will wait patiently until the release date(...and to be honest its kinda accommodating since it will give me more time with DarkSouls 3 and Ratchet&Clank in april.)

[Genuine-User]

@Peasfor

I agree. The game is nearly finished and it will go GOLD later this month according to Naughty Dog.

We've got plenty of stuff to play until early May.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

You requested days off that early to play a video game? Lol

[FullmetalRoyale]

Well that wasn't very friendly. I've done it in the past, particularly when I had anticipated an eclectic work schedule. No need to be rude just because you get to be anonymous. 😘

[rainslacker]

I take off every year for E3 and a couple times when blizzard launched an expansion for WOW. If you have the kind of job that allows for such things, why not take some time to do the things you enjoy if you can manage it?

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

I've done that plenty of times, but usually a week before or two, not months before release.

[Poli_Games]

I make my Schedule so that I'm off on tuesdays, so that i have a whole day with my game! :D

[Christopher]

Rookie, I'm sorry to see that you will be getting ill two weeks later than planned :P

[ShadowKnight]

It's cool. I'll be playing Zelda, Dark Souls 3, R&C, and QB! Take your time Naughty Dog.

[TwoForce]

I'm okay with this really.

[Ezz2013]

yeah
Two weeks are not big deal
and that will give me time for R&C and Dark Souls 3.

[Poli_Games]

Oh man I'll be playing a ton of DarkSouls and Ratchet and Clank! I'm also very excited for the Ratchet and Clank Movie.... I'm a child :3

[SniperControl]

No worries here, R&C will tide me over till May and my backlog is horrendous, i still have RoTTR to start as well.

Gutted, but unfortunately, QB will also have to wait till MS sort out the windows universal app restrictions.

[jon_snow]

Well this delay is not ND fault but manufacturing and shipping. Demand must be really high for U4. with close to 40 million ps4 owners i expect this to be highest selling Exclusive when released.

[Septic]

Delaying a game because of not enough cd's being made on time? Hmmm...

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

Wouldn't that be a good cause? Where I live (Lawrence,MA) Uncharted 3 got sold out. U4 is even more anticipated. It could happen. Glad it is not by months at least.

[TFJWM]

What is worse for ND, delaying the game two weeks or if you didnt pre-order the game than you can't buy it in stores. And what does ND gain by lying about it...

[The 10th Rider]

Ummm, it's worse for naughty Dog to hold off on the game so it doesn't sell out. Selling out is good for a product. Look, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the game or anything, and I'm sure it will sell well, but the idea that it's delayed because they're worried it'll sell out is absolutely ludicrous. It was probably just some production delay, something during production of the game simply didn't go as planned. This late in the game, it's doubtful the release date is really in Naughty Dog's hands.

[Corpser]

That's not saying much, the best selling ps4 exclusive is (not counting remasters) infamous SS? U4 just need to sell 3 million to beat it

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

Infamous SS wasn't as anticipated as this one. That is lifetime sales, not first week or day one sales

[The 10th Rider]

Meh, I doubt it's due to unexpectedly high sales. They'd just release it at it's original time frame and produce more as possible. If it was anything production related it would be due to production or shipping problem.

[MattE]

Why delay millions of people enjoying a game because some haven't been quick enough to pre order.. If u haven't pre ordered early enough then u obviously aren't that invested in the franchise. I call BS but Sony fans just believe anything that's fed to them.

[TFJWM]

What does ND gain by lying about it, people will whine about the delay regardless of what they say...

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

Excuse me? So you are saying everyone that wants to play this must pre order to get it on time? That's even more stupid.

[The 10th Rider]

@XiKurapikaKurta,

So wait, you're saying if someone pre-orders it, but a ton of other people buy it, the people that pre-order it have to wait?

I can't say I've ever seen an example of a project getting delayed because the estimated sales eclipse their original planned production run. Every time, the company simply launches the product and it sells out. No one gains anything by delaying a release so something doesn't sell out right away.

[MattE]

@XiKurapikaKurta

Well it isnt out yet so the main way for ND and Sony to work out if they can meet demand is from Pre orders right?

What's the difference between this game and any other. They are talking BS, just accept it kid

[jokerisalive]

Not a big deal cuz I will have more time with Ratchet n Clank. Two weeks is not a major delay anyway. Still say U4 will wipe the floor with GOTY awards so this petty delay is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

[Gaming4Life1981]

It's only a 2 week delay lol, that's nothing. But that can't be right that it was delayed for manufacturing reasons. I bought mine from psn so I should get mine early lol. Seriously though I can't wait to play this, definitely a huge game for ps.

I am kinda thinking of trying out ratchet and clank but I'm not sure if I will like it, bring demos back. I think ratchet and clank is the real reason uncharted was delayed, weren't they releasing on the same day.

[LordMaim]

If that were the consideration, they'd have moved Ratchet and Clank rather than Uncharted 4. I think the real reason was the one they gave, and it's a logistical issue resulting from them revising their forecast upwards for a game that is shaping up to be a massive success.

[Gaming4Life1981]

Well I guess they could've pushed ratchet and clank up for an earlier release.

[rainslacker]

I'm sure they want to release R&C at the same time as the movie.

[Tsunade]

Because is a 2 weeks delay and some people are making an unnecessary drama over this?

[ninsigma]

It's disappointing to say the least but it just means I can take my time and not rush through QB and Ratchet and clank.

[Duke19]

Hell if it weren't for all the articles blowing it out of proportion I wouldn't even noticed.

Pushing the game out a year or two? I could understand how some people would be pissed... but 2 weeks?

[BLow]

THANK YOU!!!!! I've had farts last longer than that...haha...I'm joking for the sensitive people out there...lol.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

It is not like we are thirsty for games on PS4. No effects whatsoever.

[Timesplitter14]

That headline seems comically over-dramatic

[quent]

Gaming life outside of exclusives, ds3 boi!!!, but still very interested in what ratchet and clank is going to be like, I mean there's almost nothing known about it.

[DivineAssault]

If they get delayed again, it will be in other games launch windows and that will effect sales.. This delay might have been accidental but they cant keep doing this.. ND better get their heads in the game. Im sure everything will be cool but still, after all the previous delays, i can see why people would be pissed.. Im ok about it but reaching my limit..

[esmittystud101]

Its all good, I'm still backlogged on:

- The Witcher 3
- Dying Light
- Rise of The Tomb Raider
- Assassin's Creed: Synidicate
- The Order: 1886
- CoD: Black Ops 3
- Just Cause 3
- Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
- Life Is Strange

Soon to be:

- Dark Souls 3
- Quantom Break

With the backlog I have, they could delay another six months and I'm fine with it. Especially, if they gave me 60fps in single player. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection spoiled me. LOL

[Free_Fro]

the delay sucks.. but it's okay so long as there's a genuine reason for it.. but it's whatever they tell us I suppose.

4 delays now, ND/Sony getting a Pass for what other companies would be crucified for.. hmm

anyhoo..
I'm still playing Bloodborne so I'm not too bothered..

[Goldby]

this isnt sony or ND, its manufacturing the copies of the game that was behind schedule. so instead of create an out of stock pandemic, they are delaying the game so everyone gets their copy.

delay is unfortuneate as we all have to wait 2 more weeks, but that two more weeks is nothing, and ND is a trusted company, no matter the console u use

[ifistbrowni]

I would argue that the fact that you wrote this article is a fact that the delay effected you.
