Man, he looks like he had the worst day ever in 4. He looks like shit. (Health-wise).

 

[lukeskymac]

Yea, ok then, that still doesn't affect the fact that some expressions in the last of us were off in my opinion.

Ok, that doesn't make your opinion any less baffling.

 

[NoPiece]

[Y2Kev]

I don't want to play as ugly old farts. I want to be a supermodel basically. I want everyone to basically end every scene staring at my virtual ass!

 

[dralla]

I like that they'r aging him. Looking damn good. Need to see the hair!

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

Looks like Nolan North lol.

 

[simplythebest]

Needs a Golden Abyss closeup

 

[fallagin]

Wow, that is a pretty weathered face. I guess they are trying to go for more realism then?

 

[mike4001_]

I hope they change the model to look just a little bit more like the Drake we know.

Obviously the age will fit to the story ....

... but the visual difference is just too huge in my opinion.

[El-Pistolero]

To give you an idea of what to expect, the Lead Designer for Uncharted 4 was behind: the collapsing building and truck alley shoot in UC2, the plane and the desert in UC3, and the prologue in TLoU.

The man can be trusted.

Talk about some impressive credentials...

 

[benny_a]

The resemblance is uncanny.

 

[El-Pistolero]

I'm waiting to see it actually in game. Uncharted 3 had models changing between E3 and release...slightly for the worse too...

Not again!

 

[Visualante2]

Hush no tears

Only Drake now

 

[jayu26]

The resemblance is uncanny.

I like where this is going...

lol@postingthis.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Not that much of a confirmation to me. They all say "in-engine real-time on PS4", that doesn't make much sense. In-engine does not mean In-game. In-engine is what they CAN achieve with the engine (The Last of Us and Unchated 1, 2 and 3 cutscenes were all In-engine). In all reveals they mislead the player saying "CAPTURED ON A PLAYSTATION X" (as you can see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLGxubfC1Ik and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1Rx-Bbht5E ). We all know by now that those graphics on TLOU reveal does not represent actual IN-GAME stuff. It's their engine at it's best.

Don't get me wrong, they are software engineering gods and those games looks spetacular, but there's always a drawback from the in-engine cutscenes.

No offense but did you not play TLOU and see the final in-game character models during the single player campaign?

 

[Gbraga]

This thread made me really want to replay Uncharted 2.

Hurry up with that collection, Sony!

Yeah, that's what I thought as well.

Now, let's see how different Elena looks, that'll be good for a solid freakout. Tis tradition, after all.

I just assume she'll look more like Emily Rose.

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Oh FFS...

This is from a prerendered cutscene, as it's been stressed time and time again, and the changes are mainly in lighting related. The geometry and shaders seem to be about the same as well, but affected by the changes in lighting.

Now are they for the worse... ?

Yes, unfortunately.

That'll probably hit some time mid-2015. Just to start to get people hyped for Uncharted 4.

Nathan Drake to be replaced by RuPaul?

 

[Gbraga]

Hopefully it'll come with a multiplayer beta/demo for Uncharted 4.

 

[uncredited male]

That is the face of a man who has done some shit.

 

[Prisoner]

I like where this is going...

 

[Eggbok]

Uncharted: Drake's Aging

 

[Voidguts]

lobster evolution

perfection

 

[benny_a]

As science correspondent I think it's important to capture the full cycle that the Drake goes through. Trust me, I finished Spore.

This is officially an Uncharted thread on neogaf now.

I disagree on Drake looking too weathered. That dude has seen some shit, he should look a little run down.

 

[fart town usa]

uncanny valley for me

really creeping me out.

I'm sure it'll be awesome but I don't think I could play it, ha.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Drake is looking old! I like it though. Hope we don't have to wait till e3 to see more.

 

[Pingoreous]

Should use this:

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

yeah I'm out.

Drake is looking too real for me. Its uncomfortable. I want to play a video game with video game characters.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Yes, please give me TLOU-ified Uncharted. Hype.

Please god no

Naughty Dog is so far ahead of the majority of the industry when it comes to portraying feelings through facial expression it just seemed weird to read your comment when it comes to performance capture.

Except they aren't

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Is it a concern that he looks nothing like Drake?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

hnnnng shit looks amazing. Can't wait to see this not on a picture of a screen

EDIT: Oh shit that ND art show started today. Might check it out in person then XD

 

[Rozart]

The more I look at him, the more I think he looks like a mix of Nolan North, Nathan Fillion and...Lionel Messi.

Graphics are looking icredible though.Seriously, cannot wait till we get an actual trailer.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Dat receding hairline

Well, it looks like he is at least 10 years older compared to Uncharted 3, so it makes sense.

 

[Game4life]

Except they aren't

Name some studios which does facial animations better then.

 

[RELIGHT]

What has happened here?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

 

[Rozart]

Except they aren't

Curious-- Who do you think does it better? I do think they're definitely among the best.

 

[Wynnebeck]

I spit out my drink. XD

 

[SuperEpicGuy]

I don't get why these insider shots always have to be blurry. I'd have appreciated a nice, still shot. Can't really make out the details on this.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Soon enough. The art gallery opens later tonight so there is bound to be some good shots of this popping up this weekend. hopefully

 

[SolidSnakex]

It's not really an insider shot. It's a pic that their gameplay lead took at the Naughty Dog 30th Anniversary party.

This is like the official "I have no clue what I'm talking about" image on NeoGAF.

Hint: That scene is played as a video. You wouldn't talk about downgrades if lighting conditions in Earnest Goes to Camp were changed for some weird reason.

Please god no



Except they aren't

Convincing argument, I change my vote.

 

[Thaumaturgic Tomato]

Besides age, he looks like he has rapidly starved off 20+ pounds. Maybe a chapter of the story has him living off sand of a desert island for a month.

 

[KOHIPEET]

Uncharted 4: To baldly go where noone has ever been.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

GOD YES GOD YES

 

[TheCloser]

lol this is nothing special.

Cross-gen game.

This is a joke right? MGS V is hardly visually impressive. Cross gen at best. Look at those textures, smh.
