I hope Uncharted 4 doesn't blur out his face when you get the camera closer, which seems to be the trend with modern games. Back in PS2/Xbox games, I would love just panning the camera to get a close-up of the protagonist.
Am I the only one seeing quite a bit of
in Drake's model?
I have always thought that Drake had similarities to Federer. It hit me during Uncharted 2 at the start of the Borneo chapter.

This is standard practice for perps alleged to have committed hate crimes.

CTRL + F -> "Liam Neeson"
Oh good, it's not just me. Didn't get that impression that much from the other preview, so many it's just this angle.

Wat? how is that possible? you have to kill in those games, no matter what.
Edit: Hello? strafer? pls respond, i want to learn how to NOT kill people in Uncharted games.

He essentially looks how you'd expect him to if he was plucked from out of his Uncharted universe and inserted into the TLoU one. Aged Nate does look great, but everything surrounding this game including his appearance is gloom and grit thus far, even if ND assure us that's not the case. I need that Indiana Jones matinee vibe to shine through, and soon. All it takes is a few explosions and some wisecracks.

Are you sure you mean Tobey Maguire?
I don't see it at all. The eyes and nose are so different.

lol thread title change is great but it needs update:
edit: lol at the responses. iirc the new thread title is a reference to an old troll thread or something?

Are you sure you're not thinking of Claire Redfield?

Great. Can't wait for the "30fps cinematic" crowd to try and convince everyone that somehow, the smooth frame rate makes it worse in any way. Time for this thing to find its way to the silly PR phrases hell and hang out with his friend, blast processing.

Poor guy. That's exactly what happened to me when I tried to crack a smile for a photo with Akira Yamaoka.

Uncharted and GAF don't seem to mix well anymore, shame
Have you seen Tobey Maguire?

wut?
The problem stems from many combat encounters not allowing evasion. Even when you stealth you tend to have to kill everyone in the combat arena. By that standard even Joel is less of a murderous psychopath.
And to the GTA point, particularly in GTA 4 and 5, the characters are considered (and often self-identify as) sociopaths and psychopaths. GTA 5 was the most interesting in this regard, with the primary protagonist identifying as a psychopath based on the actions of the player (ranging from "I'm doing what I need to do. I'm a good guy, it's just a shitty situation" To "I ran over a guy a few minutes ago and I don't think I give a fuck").
Uncharted 4 has to address it. And hopefully better than that "You're hurting people, Nate" weaksauce of Uncharted 3.
Again with the mass murderer bs?
It's not Uncharted's theme to show the aftermath of killing, that was a theme in Tomb Raider as they wanted to focus on Lara's arc and they failed miserably.The story in Uncharted has always been about a guy called Nathan Drake trying to follow traces of its ancestor, Francis Drake, easy as that.
Even when the game focused on the character itself, in Uncharted 3, they talked about Drake's origins and the relationship with Sully, no mention at all to the trauma from killing.
Why are we even talking about it? It's a granting of the game, like thousand of other games.

Title was a mod edit after the thread derailed.
I'm curious about how Drake and other characters will look in motion. I'm a fan of the stylized exaggeration of the facial animation in UC2 (e.g. Lazarevic and Schafer). ND toned that style down a bit in UC3.
murderous, a little less casual

Was it ever mentioned in the 3 games about him being a murderer?
Anyone called him out on it?

Didn't U2 and U3 both release dark wreck footage of a beat up serious Nate as the first trailers too?
Does he kill people who aren't tasked with killing him?

WHy the title change? Ehh.. It's like we have to give criticism to everything these days. The games are perfect as they are.
I think Lazarovich in UC2 says something to that effect.
Like "how many people have you killed, just today?" or something like that.

Yup, looks like Liam Neeson.
The main game mechanic is fighting people in third person. They could make stealth and sneaking past people a more viable option but other than that I don't know. I don't remember Indiana jones ever dwelling on killing.
I'm pretty sure Lazarević did, he told Drake he has no compassion or mercy. And was questioning Drake if he thought he was a monster because they both pretty much killed everyone lol.
So dreamy...
that dude is now buried somewhere in the basement, that stare was creepy

Uncharted is too light-hearted a romp to seriously tackle the moral fibre of Nate's character and conduct. You don't watch the Indiana Jones films and concern yourself with how many henchmen Indy has put out of commission during his search for some ancient relic. Not unless you're some kind of weirdo.
They did, but they didn't quite run with it to the extent that 4 has. Two trailers, both pretty dark in tone, an aged and weary looking Nate and an ominous subheading in "A Thief's End." It doesn't exactly spell FUN so far does it?
The only winning move is not to play
Well, it's not like "Drake's deception" and a trailer of Nate lost in the desert taking the gun from the hand of a dead corpse buried by sand sound like a lot of fun either
I agree on the first part.
