Not all the time, no. It depends on the story beats and emotions they're trying to convey. There are slower more thoughtful moments such as solving puzzles in tombs.

Lol. This needs to happen.
Yes. You only get a hud when your weapon is out. As for the action, it's pretty intense, even if you'll have more peaceful moments with puzzles and stuff. Can't keep that pace all the time.

This looks insane! Haven't played any of the uncharted games but I played the last of us and it was fantastic. Gonna need to play this game sometime after it comes out (and all of the other uncharted games as well)
Who ever cleans action movie shit up? When Marvel movies happen, how do the governments sanction superheroes as "heroes" when they destroy the city beyond what money can repair?
You can't really get caught up with this stuff or you will never enjoy media outside of non-fiction or realistic fiction.
Just watched and wanted to leave my 2 cents.
Looks Naughty Godlike as expected. The mud draggin part is already pretty awesome but then they up the ante even more in the bike scene. And about some complaints in the other thread about "scriptedness", this is classic Uncharted. NG basically gives the player as much control as possible in such dynamic scenes.
My favorite part, though, was when Nate climbs into the back of the truck after being dragged through the mud and goes "ha ha!", which was funny because it sounded like "ha ha that was neat" when in fact it should have been something like "ha ha I just did something superhuman!" xD

Right, it wouldn't have to be "You killed 1200 people, Drake" but an extension of what was started with Lazarević in Uncharted 2
"How many of my people have you killed, huh? Just today?"
Something like "You aren't entitled to this treasure any more that me. You try to kill us. We try to kill you. You aren't the 'good guy'".

Ehhh, i'm not. I don't care about that stuff at all. I was reacting to a person who cared.
Too bad combat in that game if the enemy is closer than 5 meters is a complete shit-show. I really wish they aped Uncharted 100%, it was still fun, but after going back to it, it's so mechanically simple compared to Uncharted.
Right, I know, I was kind of adding on to you
I mean, how does Nate do his taxes? His income is not exactly clean. Where did he learn all of this history? Not even college graduates in history are as versed as him in ancient, dead languages and mythology and history from around the world.
I could sit for days and pick apart elements of the world that don't work in real life.

Don't you know that's why they call it A Thief's End?
The IRS catches up rto him.

Actually, I thought that was a tad overdone. It just needs turning down a notch or two.

Well, if people didn't send out mercenaries with orders to shoot on sight every time they try to race Drake to something, he wouldn't be trying to kill anyone. But I guess that'd be the same as automatically conceding the win to him.

Gods, they're just Naughty Gods. Plain and simple Gods. The best Gods there are. Awesome Gods. I can't wait to play this (and I'll get the Nathan Drake Collection as well and everything the Gods offer us).
Praise the Gods.

standard Uncharted stuff as far as action sequences go. What gave me the WOW factor(and the early stream left unimpressed) is the environment destruction, that alone puts it above anything released on Consoles.

That's what I keep telling myself, but I'm weak.
I really like the mechanics they used to design this setpiece. The problem with Uncharted 3 is that it just tried to outscale the big moments from UC2 on a superficial level, but didn't really look at the core of them and try to make them more mechanically dense and interactive. It followed a similar formula and felt like more of the same. You could make an argument for the airplane sequence, but it's so short and simple in comparison to something like this.
Think about all the things going on here. The use of the grappling hook, dynamic camera angles, the destructibility of environments and vehicles, the driveable vehicles that can be hijacked and driven into enemies, the background environment not just being an empty space but filled with so much... all of it feels like a thoughtful evolution of what this series should be. Not just bigger in terms of Michael Bay-type scale, but more dynamic and mechanically diverse, which is something Uncharted has always been pretty good at.

Hopefully Uncharted 4 features "Surrender" and "Divide treasure equally" buttons.

His taxes? He globe-trots. I don't get the impression that he even has a 'home'.
And as for the learning history part Uncharted 3 makes it pretty clear that
he has been studying that and researching history himself since being a young child.
Now who cleans up all the shit?
Exactly.
"It isn't your treasure."
"But you sent people after me."
"But dude, it isn't your treasure."
I think Drake's ownership over a lot of the treasure he seeks is in his supposed ancestry, so that element of his internal justification could be interesting to analyse.

This game.......
IRS collects taxes on all US citizens, regardless of where they permanently reside.
I'm getting onboard with this theory. Nathan Drake meets his ends at the hands of the Internal Revenue Service.

Yeah.. Questions like that never even come up when i'm playing games.
Why even play games or watch movies, art, etc. when you overthink stuff like this all the time. It's so pointless.

Okay, that was the greatest goddamn set piece I've ever seen.
It you don't like the banter in this video, Uncharted dialog is not for you.
No Lara just grunting and moaning here, keeping the tone light is what Uncharted does best.
Well, if we're going to jump into the explanations rabbit hole...
In the real world, shit catches up to you, especially when you're legally married, it's kinda hard to be an international rogue. How do you even globe-trot unless you have a private pilot who is willing to break the law for you and fly you all around the world? With what passport? How are you not on an international watch-list?
Studying and researching history himself since being a young child doesn't realistically explain things like taking one look at an ancient Marco Polo artifact and being able to read a dead language fluently.
The people who clean up all the shit are the policemen, firemen, and everyone else who cleans up disasters where the perpetrators have disappeared and there's no money or resources to investigate.

This is some of the best parts of Uncharted.
It's lazier banter than I'm used to.
*Colombian.
As a Colombian myself, I got upset when in MGS:GZ they spelled it Columbia.
He seems to have been found there, not sure if he is actually from there, though. Would explain his good looks.
His ethnicity is Colombian, but he could still be a US citizen.
EDIT: Colombian isn't an ethnicity, but he's originally from there.
Yeah, those video games, man. They get me HEATED.
