Obviously Uncharted 4’s delay was a bit of a bummer.
Originally expected to come out this fall, Gamesradar is reporting that Uncharted 4 was pushed to March 16, 2016 in order to make sure that the game offers a satisfying conclusion.

Despite open world games becoming increasingly popular as of late, Naughty Dog doesn’t see its Uncharted series following the likes of Metal Gear Solid V and making the leap any time soon. Each game in Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection runs at 1080p/60FPS with better lighting, textures, and models.
Ultimately, because “this is the last chapter for Nathan Drake”, Naughty Dog weighed the choices between fans and their expectations, and made a decision to give themselves as much time as possible and “go all-out for this series”. But there is something that happens that requires quite a bit of work for what we want it to do. Nah, I’m not going to say it! That’s set for December, by the way.
