Neil Druckmann posted a note that Uncharted 4 will not make 2015 which means the PS4 has one game less to be excited about this year. If you were excited for another Uncharted game to begin with.

I'd be excited for any game Neil Druckmann is making. But man, that's a bummer. I wonder if they are going to try to tie it in with Morpheus, which I'm sure would be insanely difficult. Then again Naughty Dog can probably do it if anyone can...

@drzing: What would Morpheus really add to a 3rd person game?

I'm not really surprised by this because I'd assumed it was a 2016 game to begin with.

Exactly, it was just the first cynical thing I thought of when I saw 2016. I dunno, maybe GTA-style 1st-person or something? Sony could sell Morpheus with a free Uncharted 4 code, stuff like this is why they'd want to do it, even if it was shit. All those people who are going to buy the game would probably just buy Morpheus cause that's a pretty good deal.

Oof, I'm legitimately surprised and disappointed by this news. =( Alas, if they need more time then they should have more time!

Boy, Sony is knocking it out of the park with the first party releases. We got delayed, middling launch titles for 2014 and a tech demo for 2015. Killer apps, yo.

This does make Microsofts move to get Tomb Raider as exclusive a much wiser move on their part, but at the same time, without Uncharted looming over it, I wonder if SquareEnix would of been better off releasing it on both.

You know I half expected this to happen. I always thought 2015 sounded very optimistic so I can't say that I'm too surprised. There will still be plenty of games out to play this year. Besides that just means that we will have a potentially really great game coming out in the spring time next year.

Awful news.

But good! I hope the game turns out awesome

Sadly I saw this coming, but hey, if it leads to a better game I have other things I can play this Fall to fill that gap (Rise of the Tomb Raider anyone?).

I'm fine if this results in a more polished game, and not the broken mess that we've seen on both PS4 and Xbox One lately.

Uncharted 4 was pretty much the only PS4 game I was looking forward to this year. This is making me consider selling the console.

Well there goes one of my only reasons to buy a PS4 this year.

I see some people comparing this to the last few years of the 360, but the major difference is that MS didn't start coasting on popularity until well after they had released an impressive number of big, quality titles.(while simultaneously making indies mainstream)

It took several years for their first party to wither up, not the first year.

That sucks!

@isomeri: Then you'll have to buy it next year anyway though.^^ Although If you sell it for more then what you will be able to buy it for next year, maybe even a new model, then it's understandable I guess. But really, no interest in any other game on the ps4? :)

That's a shame. It looks pretty enjoyable from what they've shown, so PS4 gamers having to wait longer on it sucks. Hopefully the game ends up better for it. And as @dazzhardy mentioned, Microsoft's timed exclusive deal with Tomb Raider may pay off in spades. MS could attract some fans of adventure games who are looking to scratch that itch in the 2016 holiday season, and may even move some consoles as a result. I really hope Bloodborne lives up to its billing for the sake of the PS4's 2015, as No Man's Sky may end up a 2016 game as well.

It's not cancelled.

Can't say I'm shocked

Huh. 2015 looks like it's going to be another rough year for Sony's first-party lineup.

I'll predict it will be delayed again and will release November 2016.

What big games besides Call of Duty Madden Assassins, are coming still to Xbox One or PS4 this year?

Who really cares when you've got much more interesting games on the horizon like The Tomorrow Children, Enter the Gungeon and that unannounced Guerilla Games RPG? One delay and everyone loses their minds.

Who are you talking to (and about)? No one even mentioned Microsoft in the topic nor the 360 until you did.

@lukeweizer:

Yeah, my plan was to buy a new model sometime next year. I'll wait for the E3 announcements though, and a better version of MGS5 is very appealing. But yeah looking ahead, frankly outside of the timed exclusivity of No Man's Sky there isn't much on the PS4 side of things that interests me.

@trafalgarlaw:

Sorry, I meant generally speaking. People, like Patrick, have been saying for months that Sony is coasting off it's big lead like the 360 did. It's also a popular theory as for why Sony has been extremely lazy with the system updates compared to the One.

They have so much momentum, they evidently don't feel the need to compete.

All of them?

I was curious to see how this would leave Sony's first-party lineup for the rest of the year, and the only retail games I could find are Bloodborne, Tearaway Unfolded, MLB 15: The Show and Until Dawn. That can't be right, can it? They must be holding stuff for E3.

Bummer, I have to look forward to this even longer! Delays, delays, delays are the name of the game now though. I don't actually believe release dates for games until a month out at most.

Not surprising at all. I never thought this game would make 2015.

Huh... I actually didn't think it'd be delayed. I guess that puts more pressure on Bloodborne? Anyway, I'm still looking forward to it.

@slang_n_bang: So them choosing to delay titles, nominally for quality purposes is considered coasting?

You have to remember that Sony studios (minus japan, wtf are they doing?) released games very late in the ps3 cycle. Microsoft isn't doing a whole lot more on this front, where is their excuse?

Looks like another weak year regarding big titles for Sony. I wasn't expecting Uncharted 4 to not make it for this year.

I'm hugely excited for another Uncharted and totally bummed with the delay... but not surprised.

Always fun to see people all in a tizzy over first party lineups. Maybe it's just not being a PC owner/gamer, but I'm just fine with any game being pushed back because there will still be plenty to play. Let them polish it up, we all know this generation could use polish more than anything right now.

I was just thinking yesterday, "Hey, I bet Uncharted won't come out." I think we all could have called that.

I mean I bought my ps4 for bloodborne so I don't really care when uncharted 4 gets released as long as its good, but man my ps4 has been really really dusty lately. Got infamous for cheap and its good for a 20 dollar game but man is that game barebones (I think it has less going on gameplay wise than the first infamous did), I am excited for some indie games coming out soon on ps4 (axiom verge is gonna be awesome), but besides that I am much more hyped for Xbox exclusives (they even have some super solid indie titles coming out, Below was mind blowing at PAX). Although a lot of my friends are thinking of getting a PS4 later this year once MGS, Batman and Witcher come out + Bloodborne, so Sony might just be able to coast on being the superior third party system.

I liked the ps4 interface at first but now I think the xbox one interface is much superior, and all the updates really help it feel like microsoft cares. I mean for me it's nice that Sony big focus on indie stuff, but I feel like ps+ has ruined those games for me. I feel like an idiot whenever I buy one at launch since it always goes on PS+ and the only reason I am paying for PS+ at this point is for the free games. I think its kind of sad that I play my Vita way more than my PS4 and its not even new games just older psp/ps one games and remakes on Vita.

I am hoping we will eventually get some cool PS4 games from Japan, cause man its been rough.

I don't know how it's possible to be surprised when any game gets delayed.

If your game exists, it will probably be delayed at least once.

Hmm i'm not sure if this is sarcasm...

Or if these are actually huge games people are looking forward to and have somehow flew under my radar.

And no one was surprised at all. All big video games need to be delayed at least once now it seems.

Oh well. At least there's a new Tomb Raider game coming this year... Probably.

I am kind of hoping to get myself a proper job, nay a career this year and if that works out I'm finally going to make the jump to next gen. This and Bloodborne definitely would have swayed me to PS4 but if I want to get my fix of games I'm interested in this year then I may end up going with the One now.

Awwww. Uncharted 4 was the game I was looking forward to the most this year.

I have never got into the "Souls" games so Bloodborne was not of much interest to me.

I suppose something like Batman: Arkham Knight will have to suffice.

@gunstarred: Isn't that game only coming out on the XboxOne?

Uncharted is delayed: that's bad

It will hopefully be better as a result: that's good!

Oh no I am so surprised!

Oh.. wait.. sorry. I thought they said Bloodborne was cancelled.

Of course it's delayed. It was delayed as soon as they said "This year!" and everyone raised an eyebrow and said "Nahh? It's not?"

Anyways curious to see what they show off at E3 from this baby. See ya in Spring, Mr. Drake.

I certainly am. We got three Uncharteds along with a handheld one already. It might turn out to be a good game but really...who bought a PS4 for Uncharted 4? Crazy people I tell you. We need fresh ideas like The Tomorrow People, The Order obviously fell short but hey at least some sort of new IP was established. Bloodborbe is launching in two weeks!

A lot of Sony's 1st party studios have not shown anything yet. The internet will melt when Patapon 4 is announced.

I was worried about this, but oh well. There's still a lot of cool games coming out this year.

If anything, this news means I'll have more time to play the other games coming out this year.

What's the Sony games out this year besides Bloodborne and No Man's Sky?

Rough.

i mean yeah of course it was
