Yeah it reminds me of all those watchdogs comparisons, but back then I thought it was just classic Ubi hate (which is still sad but have learned to shrug it off). The fact that it's also happening with Naughty Dog shows we have a problem. Not that they're above criticism (I'm myself very vocal about all the things I hate about TLOU), but this is simply not a valid point.
Look at Infamous Second Son, look at Batman Arkham Knight, this is the gen where everything looks better at night and with rain.
There's no shiny wet effects and rain reflections to show when different ligthing occurs and it's simply not raining, it's just normal.
Now I'm sure the graphics will get better as the game is developed (duh), so there is room for improvement, but that comparison is just silly.

I can't wait to see the finished versions of these animations. Nathan's legs just freeze in place as he grabs the guy.
Yeah, the rock formations don't look natural. They have that low-poly, overly angular look we saw in the previous Uncharted games.
Still, overall the game is definitely one of the best looking upcoming games.
Even the bloody spray looks better. Reminds me of Counter-Strike: Source
EDIT: Well, don't know if that's supposed to be blood, but it looks better

True that. But if they keep to that demonstrated level of enemy AI and reactions they'll have something absolutely amazing. Where TLOU didn't quite reach it's target it did establish a pretty solid baseline to expand upon.
Couldn't help but think the same thing.
Oh my god.
Yup. Of all the TPS games ( Order, Quantam Break and others ) finally we are getting something that seems to have great gameplay. Super dynamic, lots of options and gorgeous locations to boot. So excited for this game!

For the first time ever I was absolutely stunned by an UnCharted game. It's not just that the graphics look well, but the world seems alive, fleshed out and has amazing scale and atmosphere. Really felt the vibes throughout the whole thing.
Trying to say which of the two looks better comes down to what color palette and art style you prefer, honestly. Objectively they're about neck-and-neck but I'd give the edge to UnCharted now simply b/c of how much larger its environments are and how all of that is in real-time and explorable.
Not so sure about that anymore. Order has a great color palette and sense of atmosphere, but Uncharted is just shooting for a much grandiose sort of presence. It's more saturated, definitely, but for what it's aiming for, it looks phenomenal.

ah right, i didn't get to twitch in time to catch it live so it's probably that

this is why The Order gameplay was boring compared to the dynamic shooting of Uncharted

Drake now carries a rope and some tools he carries. That was my idea! It never made sense to me how he made use of conveniently placed ropes and items for an adventurer

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
It couldn't be that they wanted to show the game without massive frame rate swings. Nope.

Uh he's pushing the guy, which would mean his legs would lock with his back using the wall to force with his arms. The legs look pretty okay.

Did anybody watch the YT upload? Game is beautiful as fuck, Twitch definitely did damage to the user's perception. Also, they've managed to cut out the glitch and juxtapose the re-played 2nd half segment.
But the game is absolutely above UC in terms of gameplay. Very open in it's approach, AI is far more believable and the gunplay looks insanely fun. I expected a pop-in, pop-out shooter, far from it - it's TLOU IN STEROIDS! Highlight of the show. Although they've got your typical UC tropes like conveniently broken ledges, auto-platforming and all but neu-Drake seems very weighted now and not a simplified floating texture from its previous incarnations.
Best moment about this, is the lack of a fucking explosive set-piece. THANK YOU ND! Because that dynamic gunplay, AI, verticality and multiple assault/stealth approach and of course the beautiful CQC transitional animations is all that I needed to see. I'm getting very similar vibes from MGSV desert gameplay reveal. ND is in top form today and while the 30fps encode is disappointing (it's smooth on YT stream), I absolutely cannot wait hoping to make it to 60fps.
I need to know what you're watching because I sure as hell don't remember Uncharted being played like this.

It still looks good it's just obvious that the game isn't finished yet since we're quite far from release. I'm not berating the game or saying that the animation should be done at this stage. Geez. Don't be so eager to defend every aspect of this demo guys.
I was expecting it to look more vibrant. I don't know if the lighting is to blame or the fact that the video I saw wasn't direct feed and really compressed but the games colors looked pretty muted overall. The screencaps people are posting look more vibrant to me. I'm gonna have to check out the gamersyde video.
That looked fucking gobsmacking.
That opening exploration and stillness, emanating early Tomb Raider games' atmosphere and ambience.
That verticality, that only-in-Uncharted blend of traversal directly into the combat scenarios, and that blend of opportunistic stealth within those combat encounters rather than as an on/off switch in most games.
That flow between shooting, jumping, melee, grenades, climbing, hiding and taking cover and back to pure exploration.
Fuck. THIS is how you make a trailer to sell me on a game. Open gameplay bliss wedded to great performance capture and beautifully realized environments.
PS: Naughty Gods, please bring back co-op modes ala Uncharted 2 and I'll buy four copies
Definitely. Even after the E3 reveal, I didn't find the idea of UC4 that exciting at all. Glad it was coming, figured it would be cool, but not one of the main games I was looking forward to. But this demo not only changed that completely, it also revitalized my excitement for the entire goddamn genre.
Well done, Naughty Dog. Well done.

Is 60 FPS still the aim?

I never played too much uncharted (didn't have a ps3) but I don't remeber the encounters being that dynamic. Is it because I am not intimately familiar with the series or is UC4 wider in terms of encounter design?

bravo, that design was top notch

I managed to dig up Nathan Drake from the first game.
First experience with PS3 and HD. I doubt the gap between the first batch PS4 games and the others is going to be so big. But hey, I hope it is.

They were there, but they were far fewer than what you'd expect out of something like Gears of War, where there are inexplicable box-shaped rocks in an open area.
Awesome! Well done!

Looks like the platforming and stealth mechanics have both gotten some much-needed additions, but dear god the level design in this clip was just astonishingly good - so open and full of different approaches to every area. Up there with the best stuff in UC2 for sure, if not better.
I'm glad to see that the melee combat is looking a lot better than UC3's overly-signposted junk melee while keeping some of the contextual dynamism of the animations.

A good chunk of them in UC2 are roughly that dynamic, but for the most part they've been smaller and more linear than this (and ended solely by killing all enemies).

People saying the hair is different in the E3 model...it kind of looks like they have applied some blur to it. I think the model looks the same overall..

I like that the enemy tried to hold on for dear life instead of an automatic kill like in AC for example.
Don't you stab then throw in AC?

Looks great to me. I will wait for the final game but i do like what i see so far. BTW they totally took that climbing mechanic from tomb raider.
I mean, he's obviously locking his legs in place to use as leverage for pulling the guy towards him. It looks perfectly fine. Just sounds like veiled criticism by nitpicking something for the sake of nitpicking.
Oh god, the edit is even better. Complete lack of self awareness there.
Holy shit the clothes actually get wet from the small water drop behind.

I hope she's the lead level designer.
Game looks amazing, loving the more open level design and gameplay as well as the greater emphasis on stealth. I'm a big UC fan, but this looks so much more dynamic than the previous games in the series.
Also, some of you guys cannot be serious claiming this looks like a PS3 game.

Kudos.
The level design was by far the most interesting thing about the whole demo.
Looks pretty cool. I enjoyed Golden Abyss which is the only Uncharted game I've played. I hope for a collection so I can play all three before this one.
I'm not really too big on the graphics though. The direction some of these 8th gen games take to look more realistic makes them look fake. It's technically better obviously, but I feel like it's a step back when trying to capture of elements of real life.
