And Naughty Dog denied that she was forced out. IGN also reported The Last Guardian was cancelled according to "sources". It's still speculation.

so what does Sony have for the holiday? indies?
I was clearly messing with you because you are taking this all way too personally.

I'd imagine that there will be games. That would include indies and likely some digital titles. Possibly even a AAA release or 2. But I'm almost positive there will be games
I think in these times there are always reasons to be concerned with studios, but some of what I read here feels like an overreaction.. there is no way they won't ship this before fall 2016. While I agree that developing videogames has become harder and more expensive, we also need to consider that this is Naughty Dog which has a big budget and a huge amount of talent to work with and that Sony probably doesn't want another game being delayed over and over again.
The latest date is probably June 2016 just like The Last Of Us which also proved that it doesn't matter when you release if the marketing and quality is there.

that's certainly what it feels like. but yeah I'm keen to see what they will offer this thanksgiving/christmas.

I gotta say, this does give Microsoft an excellent opportunity to make up sales that they lost throughout the year.
They probably wont go to $299, but I wonder if maybe they'll bundle in Tomb Raider.
But yeah, I can see MS closing the gap in Nov/Dec to make up the losses from Jan-Oct.

Only in the US will they close the gap...and I would be one if they lowered the price that much and threw in a few games (which I fully expect this holiday).
The gap has never been closed and likely never will.

... not even a sentence in ND's 30th anniversary celebration video. She worked for about a decade there and was key to starting the Uncharted franchise...
Evan Wells and Christophe Balestra denied it, yes, but they have an obligation to. Mitch never retracted his story. It's still a he said / she said situation. And in this case Amy can't speak about it, obviously.

This reads like a comment on youtube or GameFAQs.
OT: if we have learned anything over the last 6 months, it's that games should not be launched early, but when they are ready. I wouldn't want Uncharted 4 to be a new Master Chief Collection.
On a more practical note, I wonder if this means an uncharted PS4 collection, or further multiplayer content for the last of us.

What's this about milk?
They'll go all out and make last year's fire sale look like a wet match. Sony just opened the main gates.
You think they're going to sell 15+ million units over the holiday?

With most of the highly anticipated AAA getting delayed, is it possible that a dark-horse indie title winning GOTY this year? Could get very interesting....
Everybody calls it 'the big year for games' because most of these anticipated games have already been delayed to 2015.

I guess Morpheus is the big Sony holiday exclusive.

that's out in 2016.

Lol, no offense meant or taken man. Just felt I was getting dogpiled on.
But that's coming in the first half of 2016.

I think they'll try and push No Man's Sky into a major AAA event. Which would be extremely ballsy, but could work out for them.
Also, they've probably got something in the chamber for E3. Likely another mid-range title like LBP3. But hey, riding on the hype of third party releases went pretty well for them last holiday season - so I imagine that will stay the case. Hype up the big Destiny expansion, get lead platform status for a Ubisoft release, maybe get co-marketing for Battlefront... Then you've got MGS V, CoD, and countless other big Fall releases still appearing on their platform.

Including Uncharted 4. From (presumably late) 2014, to late 2015, to mid 2016.

I can almost hear the champagne being popped at Xbox HQ in Redmond. Their Rise of the Tomb Raider gamble just got better odds.
Square Enix is pretty fucked though. Their plan was to release the game on PS4 in the Spring.
No way was U4 ever going to be a 2014 title.

Does this mean that their deal with MS was entirely worthless?

What? What's your source?
I thought at this point everything regarding RotTR's PS4 release was speculation. If I had to guess I'd say Microsoft secured the game for one year but it's all conjecture.
Mushroomer25

They announced the game back at the PS4 launch event on Spike. I think a lot of people fairly assumed that it could hit in time for the following holiday season.
Alex_Mexico

U4 was never a 2014 release except in your mind. Officially so far it's gotten one delay. Anything other an that is just fans' wishful thinking.
Yes and no.
No in the sense that they get to pocket that money from MS and sit back while they market the game for them.
Yes because if their intent was to avoid UC4 on PS4 they achieved nothing and delaying that version even further will stifle sales more than they probably will be already.

Can you state your source that the ROTTR was a spring 2016 PS4 release?
I know a great deal about Square Enix things and because of that get told other things.
I am the source.

Is there any evidence for the notion that they were planning on releasing Rise on PS4 in the Spring? I thought we never got firm details on the exclusivity window.
A summer release would probably go fine for them.

Then those people were naive.
Kagari is the source and all you need.
First paragraph does not make the second true. That is also naive. Games take time and delays happen. I know you feel physical pain every time a Sony game is not up to par but either let it go or start gaming on other systems (hint you won't avoid delays though).
Lol, nice.

Is that confirmed to release this year? I'd rather it come out along with Morpheus because it seems like it was meant to be played in VR.
They should just cut to $299 and try to lock up an exclusive marketing deal with AC or something if they still can.
I've been told 4-6 months following launch which just happens to be... Spring.
