Anyone making predictions about this is just gambling.
It's so unlikely, and yet it's been hidden away so long, it's still utterly possible.

This should have been released in the 12 months before U4. What is Sony doing? Its free money.

lol. What are you even talking about? What on earth does MGSV or Driveclub have to do with Uncharted 4? They're completely different games from completely different studios.

I believe this. The game has to come out eventually and it's not going to get a long hype train. It will be revealed year of release when they're positive it won't slip. I think it'll be this year.
Generally people in here seem to think nothing will ever actually come out until the end of the generation.

I agree with the idea but I'd extend that out a little bit more than just year of release. I'm going with an E3 2015 re-reveal and Early 2016 release, like Bloodborne.

Uncharted 4 was announced over a year ago. 2013 is when first teaser was released. The only cause for a delay would be the new leads taking over and making some big changes, but they have given no indication that will be an issue.

There's three perspectives to it. Either from a studio perspective, or from an IP perspective, or a sequel set-up perspective.
Most people are going in from the lense that a 'Master Thief Collection' release before UC4 would be good timing to set up newcomers into the franchise and build up UC4 hype.
At the same time, because ND works on a two-year dev cycle, releasing MTC next year would benefit the studio's in the sense that ND is always in spotlight every year with a major title release attributed to the studio every year. 2013 was TLoU, 2014 was Remastered, 2015 UC4, 2016 MTC, and 2017 New Game.
On an IP perspective... Uncharted movie is coming out in 2016. Releasing the collection alongside the movie wouldn't be a bad idea.
ND didn't let anyone touch the last of us remake, i'm guessing they did the same with UC?

ND's product release cycle :
2007 : Uncharted : Drake's Fortune
2009 : Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves
2011 : Uncharted 3 : Drake's Deception
2013 : The Last of Us
2015 : Uncharted 4 : A Thief's End (planned)
ND's announcement-till-release cycle:
UC1 : Announced E32006, Released Fall 2007. (1 and half years)
UC2 : Announced VGA2008, Released Fall 2009. (11 months)
UC3 : Announced VGA2010, Released Fall 2011. (11 months)
TLoU : Announced VGA2011, Released June13. (1 and half years)
UC4 : Announced PS4 Launch, Expected Fall 2015. (tentatively almost 2 years)
See a pattern?

just seems apropos to have TLG and FFvXIII out around the same time

Why do people have no hope of Horizon this year? I mean, the game has been in development for 3+ years, and Guerrilla has had a full fledged, market tested engine for more than a year. Wouldn't it be possible to be unveiled on E3 and launched for holidays?
Sony said they have learned their lesson and are not announcing stuff way before launch. I could see them putting out games 6 months after unveiling. I can see how that is kinda dangerous for a new IP, but it can be possible, right?

I just want this game so bad.

It's too short of a time to market such a big game, or they could if they don't have any faith in it.
I have a feeling an Uncharted Remastered Trilogy will release fall 2016. And it will come with remade Multiplayer maps from the old games for Uncharted 4 Multiplayer. Similar to how Halo Anniversary had maps for Halo Reach.

E3 will definitely easy your worries, at least I hope so. XD
Last Fall, PS4 had no big exclusive to lead the pack of games launched, Sony can't do the same this year, they just can't.
I remember some news (rumors?) around November last year that Level5 was talking about "soon revealing a PS4 exclusive title." Some said they would reveal it at E3 2015, some even said it was Dark Cloud 3. Anyone know anything more solid about it? Dark Cloud 2 was among my favorite games on PS2, but I always assumed Sony just let the IP die.

I would just kind of assume it'd either be a new IP or Ni No Kuni 2.
Kind of hope Ni No Kuni 2. But Hino did say it'll be announced at E3.

They could do it but I don't think Sony is interested in reviving those. If they wanted Warhawk, they'd go to Dylan Jobe, anyways. He's got his concept for Warhawk 2.
Too bad Lightbox now is crazy small studio :/

I wish the world would stop talking about Lightbox, losing them is still painful
I really hope they get back on the saddle for another Hawk title at some point. The world needs it.I could see GG's next game releasing sooner than some anticipate. In there slides for shadows fall at GDC, they were talking about how quick the new Physically Based Lighting and MADDER make level designing pretty easy, and asset production much faster. I don't think I'd rule out 2015 just yet.

It's not a rumor, confirmed.

I can't imagine we'd be getting DC3 without DC1/2 at least getting thrown on PSN as PS2 Classics, if not updated to HD.

They should make light box do a space exploration game, like no man's sky. It has some similarities I their previous work, it's an easy graphical showpiece, it could be cheap if done well, and te field is wide open on consoles. You'd make two million copies and check a competitive box so easily. Good story, good side quests, neat weapons, secret ships and such... With an accessible feel. Make money.

Yoshida confirmed that the PS Move works with the PS4, but has SONY announced any games for it? I think Media Molecule had one demo project for it. I could be wrong.
ChronotriggerJM

Kind of a side question, but does anyone know if Guerrilla Games is going to be doing a GDC presentation?
There aren't any dedicated Move games for PS4, but there are PS4 games that have Move support like Octodad, LittleBigPlanet 3, Angry Birds: Star Wars, and a few others.

Just to be clear, what's confirmed is that Level 5 will be revealing their Sony-published PS4 game at E3. Not that that game is Dark Cloud 3.
Sony Warhawk funding could revitalize them!
But won't
Too big of a risk for Sony to bring Warhwak back.Right now, I think they are more focusing on creating new IP and invest in established IPs.

Pretty sure it's a PS4 Exclusive, you know that when a dev states that they will announce their PS4 Game at Sony's E3 Conference. (Also Dark Cloud IP, White Knight IP, Rogue Galaxy IP and others belong to Sony so it would be highly a PS4 Exclusive)

I wonder, maybe Sony London is working on a full fledge PS4 Morpheus game, just because they have so much experience with it already.

So yesterday Sony released two first party games. They've both been pretty well received, especially Helldivers. Rather than talk about my specific opinions on each game (especially since I won't get to play Helldivers till tonight and Oreshika for a few weeks), I think it's good to look at how they reflect on Sony's publishing process.
Helldivers was developed by Arrowhead without Sony developer support, just typical publisher help. It's Arrowhead's first console game, and in a genre Sony publishes a lot of games in. It's a classic smaller SCE game. Oreshika is a revival of an old, obscure franchise that was Japan only and essentially a complete mystery to the west. They went with the original developer. It's the first RPG they've put out in the west since, what, Folklore? White Knight Chronicles, I guess? Basically, it's not a genre Sony works with much.
I think together, they're a great example of Sony's publishing diversity. They get small developers to make weird, non-mainstream games. And they do it all the time. Last year they put out Counterspy and Hohokum at almost the exact same time. These types of games are my favorite part of Sony's output and why they're my favorite publisher.

Noticed that... you beat me to the punch.
Nope, not Oreshika since that game's been known about for years. The rumor is that it's a JRPG project to rival Final Fantasy. Come on Legaia Revival.... Or I guess Dragoon revival would be acceptable. Probably be something new though.

The problem is I'm ruling out all Level 5 IP because they already said they were going to show something at E3 and it doesn't make sense that the production of what they are gonna show started this month to be honest, has to something else I think.

Production doesn't necessarily include preproduction.
AFAWK, The Order and Shadow of the Beast were both revealed while they were still in preproduction stage.
