I am ok with the delay because I love the games and want them to look stellar. But I wish that there was a tentative release window like Q4 2016 or Q1 2017...just some idea of when it might pop up.
I don't believe this is something that any fan of either series would celebrate as the right move. I would have loved a straight Blood Dragon sequel instead.
@get2sammyb I can't get the link to work, but go to Sherlock Holmes Games page on Facebook. It's the post from Friday.
I was really bummed out until I realized that I could import it.
Just got a UK copy off eBay. It stinks that they postponed the release in North America. I can understand maybe running into manufacturing issues for the physical copies, but there is no reason to delay the digital version.
Interesting new options. I would not want sports games every month, but it is a welcome change. Plus it is a AAA title, which is what everyone has been asking for recently.
I'm am in. I haven't played Asylum since it came out so I would love to revisit it. City was one of my favorite last gen games and it'll be great to play it with all dlc attached.
@AyeHaley Yes, it does get better. The ship graveyard is actually one of my least favorite chapters in any Uncharted. There are some big set pieces after including a plane and a horse caravan that are thrilling. There are also quieter moments of exploration and character development. UC3 is a phenomenal game IMO. But be prepared for a difficult final few chapters. Not as bad as UC2 but tough. It builds to a great climax.
Finishing up Uncharted 3 in my prep for the fourth entry. May 10th can't come soon enough and I took two vacation days after the release to play it. After UC3, I'm going to dive into Ratchet & Clank. I've never played any game in the series.
I am a newcomer to the franchise. I pre-ordered this game after reading the review and I cannot wait to play it tomorrow. It is nice to have some lighter entertainment amidst of all darkness and apocalyptic settings that populate so many modern games.
I can't find myself being excited about getting a half-step system. I don't want to buy a 4K TV either when there is so little available streaming/cable in the format let alone in the Blu-ray market. This system is rumored to be a lot more powerful than the PS4, but I would rather wait for PS5. The thing that will bother me is if a large swath of developers start optimizing games for the PS4K that struggle to run well on the standard PS4. It is always good to future proof with technology (PS3 with Blu-ray drive over XBOX 360 with DVD drive), but jumping too soon is a sure way to lose money when the demand is not necessarily there yet.
That was a poorly put together post on the blog by Sony. All they had to do was swap one sentence and say "base model preorders coming soon" to reflect what it says on the official site. Messaging is so important in launching new tech. The Xbox One/PS4 E3 launch clearly proved that point.
@get2sammyb It's just an unbelievably dishonest move. It's available as a core set everywhere else that it's being sold but not in the US. I am really dumbfounded especially after Shuhei acknowledged that many fans already have the contollers and camera. So frustrating that I am sure it will turn many longtime players off from preorder.
I just cannot see a reason to delay revealing the price and release date any further. The other big players have announced their prices for VR sets, so now is the right time to jump in and throw out a lower price point than the competition.

Re: Don Your Deerstalker for Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter Gameplay Trailer
Why is this not available for PS4 preorder at any online retailer? It is only two months from release. You can preorder it for PC.
Re: First Impressions: Reflecting on Our Time with Reflections
@glassmusic Yeah, it would make complete sense as a PSVR game. I wonder why it is not being developed for it.

Re: PlayStation VR Launches in October for $399
Going to pre-order as soon as it pops up online. Sony hit the price point perfectly.
