Never played an Uncharted game.
Is the actual gameplay really like this? Without a HUD and with constant action going on?

Pretty much.

The series gets a lot of hate on certain aspects (Drake constantly quipping, the high body count), but the gameplay is an incredible mix of third person shooting, platforming, and set pieces. Naughty Dog is truly one of the masters of combining cinema and gameplay.

If you haven't played them, I highly recommend the PS4 collection when it comes out. It's hands down one of my favorite series from PlayStation (Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and God of War are probably the others).

I was frigging blown away when I saw this demo behind closed doors at E3, and I'm so frigging glad that they decided to release it. I had coworkers so hyped about it when I told them, and now they can watch it themselves. Lol.

I'm sorry, but I'm not liking the new Elena character model (graphically she looks incredible) but to me she no longer looks like Elena to me. All the other characters I love however.

Uncharted 2-3 Elena is my favorite.

 

[Elios83]

Wow :O and Youtube is killing the quality here (looking at the first part as a reference).
Waiting for Gamersyde =)

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Weren't there threads about UC2/3 killing PS3's lol

Yep, Uncharted 2 killed my launch PS3.

Honestly, I don't think it did really, but it probably made the process quicker.

 

[kgtrep]

Just stunning. Thanks ND for brightening my day!

 

[Stone Ocean]

Man that is one fucking impressive setpiece

 

[supernormal]

I can't believe they are hitting the reveal trailers visuals it just didn't seem remotely possible.

Yeah that bit inside the upside down car looks very close in detail to the initial reveal.

As others have said, I am also very concerned for my PS4. Arkham Knight had it sounding like a jet engine, I'm guessing this game will make it explode upon inserting the disk.

 

[kaskade]

That looked so damn good. Even the little stuff like the sling on the AK fluttering around. Naughty Dog is god damn amazing.

 

[Summer Haze]

Dat borderline attention 2 detail

This is fucking incredible. Love the lighter, finer pieces of mud that kinda spread out and fall slower than the rest. And the lighting from the fire in the tire well of the jeep is fantastic. ND's visuals and visual detail are just on another level.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Fucking brilliant. I can't believe how good this looks in motion. And I got sad with the Elena scene. These characters are the best.

 

[nelsonroyale]

anyone else now wants a new motorstorm game? this is fucking amazing.


Bravo Naughty Dog bravo

Yes damnit! They are hitting the motostorm reveal with this footage, and it is an action adventure game. ND seriously need to do a new kart game with this engine.

 

[FATALITY]

At the end when that convoy crashes and erupts in flames and there's smoke and fire everywhere....that's absolutely insane.

And then I saw one of the construction worker bystanders pull out his cell phone and snap a picture of the wreckage.

lol
we need Neil with cell phone pic there

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Holy ducking shit they should have shown all of this at E3

Naughty Gods earning that name damn.

 

[bananafactory]

Holy ducking shit they should have shown all of this at E3

Naughty Gods earning that name damn.

this method is smart because after all the E3 noise has died down we are suddenly all freaking out over the game again

well played, ND

Uncharted 2-3 Elena is my favorite.

Nah, i think she looks best here, always preferred Chloe but Elena looks incredible. Hope Chloe makes in and gets dat next gen goodness.

 

[viveks86]

Still no Gamersyde? I refuse to watch this on youtube. Damn you Sony/ND! Grrrr

 

[Facundo_Lopez]

That is my reaction entering the thread.

Holy shit.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Really?She looks exactly like Elena.

On the other hand, I have no idea who that guy who is pretending to be Sully is.

 

[GeoramA]

Yep, that's beast mode Naughty Dog right there. Bruce and Neil going for back-to-back GOTGs.

 

[camac002]

Can they please donate their anti-aliasing solution to all developers for the good of the world

 

[GrayDock]

Holy shiiiet.... So awesome that I can`t compute...

I need to know when this game comes out so I can program my vacation in advance....

 

[GnawtyDog]

Can they please donate their anti-aliasing solution to all developers for the good of the world

NO.

 

[bananafactory]

Still no Gamersyde? I refuse to watch this on youtube. Damn you Sony/ND! Grrrr

I'm sure it will make it to GS eventually

Every piece of Uncharted 4 footage so far (and most of their 1st party stuff like Horizon/TLG) ended up with HQ footage on Gamersyde

 

[~Kinggi~]

Really?She looks exactly like Elena.

On the other hand, I have no idea who that guy who is pretending to be Sully is.

Nah, she definitely looks a lot different this time around.

 

[plutoknight]

lol
we need Neil with cell phone pic there

I have the GIF skills of a small water-dwelling mammal, but yes. We need Neil cell phone taking pic of wreckage there.

It Has To Be This Way.

Can they please donate their anti-aliasing solution to all developers for the good of the world

I don't know how they do it, but yes. This. It's a little wonky, but it's leaps and bounds ahead of what I've seen on most games on PS4 thus far.

 

[Newtype-001]

Really?She looks exactly like Elena.

On the other hand, I have no idea who that guy who is pretending to be Sully is.

Lol yeah sully looks almost like an entirely different person.

 

[stryke]

Dat borderline attention 2 detail

Only a word......amazing.

I just love that they found a way to dramatically evolve set pieces they've done before.

 

[travisbickle]

Really?She looks exactly like Elena.

On the other hand, I have no idea who that guy who is pretending to be Sully is.

I think Sully looks good, it's Nate who looks like a different person, and everyone is pretending it's not a new actor when the previous guy asked for too much money for the sequel!

 

[ckohler]

Astounding.

 

[dr guildo]

Motorstorm 4 : the demo !

 

[Endo Punk]

Really?She looks exactly like Elena.

On the other hand, I have no idea who that guy who is pretending to be Sully is.

It seems people don't like characters aging in games which i personally want to see happen more with iconic characters/franchises, and next gen jump is bound to have characters sort of redone, in this case for the better.

ND has done a fantastic job with the characters in UC4; Sam, Nate, Sully and especially Elena. Maybe the facial animation too is throwing people off and need time to let the detail sink in. Anyway can't wait to see more characters.

 

[Gray Matter]

Nah, i think she looks best here, always preferred Chloe but Elena looks incredible. Hope Chloe makes in and gets dat next gen goodness.

She's unrecognizable here, it's going to take some getting used to.

Really?She looks exactly like Elena.

Ha, he's the other character that looks different, but a good different, actually looks like an old man here.

 

[piccio_ssl]

sam kicks the ground for rebalancing the bike

 

[Orca]

I have a feeling uncharted style game is just not for you then.

Be glad though, there are plenty of others who appreciate game like this too. =D

I really liked the first two, but the third one really started down this path of bigger and bigger set piece battles/encounters where you get the 'die and start sequence over' thing for going the wrong way, missing a jump, etc...

It's really annoying when people do that "OK another cool set piece with pretty graphics and no interactivity" thing like we didn't see how much the core gameplay has evolved in the PSX demo and how much more open and interactive it is than before.

Even the first part of the new demo when they drive the jeep while being chased feel relatively open with more freedom than the typical set pieces, but hey some explosions happens at the end so it becomes - "No interactivity!!!"

It does a lot better job of making it look like you choose to go that way than Uncharted 3 did, but where's there any freedom anywhere in the entire sequence? The APC leaves them one road to escape down in every instance, even when they hit the square and circle around for the jump - I rewound it and checked, the APC goes left and cuts off that jump the first time you hit the square.

I get that this - cutting an open world down into a locked-path set piece - is the trade off used to have cool things happen in the game that are a directed and shared experience for everyone, I just like them less and less these days. There has to be another way that still lets the player keep ownership of the character.

Yeah, Sully looks completely different to me. Age and a transition to a new gen will do that to a man, I guess. XD

 

[Endo Punk]

Current gen upgrade. She looks amazing to me but then i wasn't a fan of her dry character model last gen.

 

[razgriz417]

god damn that was beautiful, the voice work for Elena sounded great too. Can't wait for this

 

[Yabberwocky]

I don't know what I was more floored by - the action setpieces/gameplay, or seeing those beautiful character models interacting at the end. The muscles on Sam's face-! The folds in Sully's neck-!

Naughty Gooooooooooooooods.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

Can't deny their technical prowess. No one comes close to touching them in that regard.

Amazing. Thanks for the link. Shu is a great sport.

 

[Bliman]

This is confusing for me. I never played Uncharted but to me it seems like you have so little control or else this is really next gen stuff.
To me it feels like some sort of on rail shooter (like time crisis, etc) but with a little bit of extra control.
Like you suddenly see a reticle to shoot then it goes back to the action then you get the control back for a few seconds and so the whole time through along with some qte and that's it. Are the previous Uncharted balanced games?
Or does it feel like you move from one setpiece till the next with a few sections where you run a little?
If it is a realtime (I mean where you have the control most of the time) then this is going to be a impressive game if not it loses a lot of its appeal to me.

 

[Gray Matter]

The people at naughty dog must be reading this thread and feeling damn good about themselves with all this praise.

Keep up the amazing work ND!

 

[reptilescorpio]

The APC leaves them one road to escape down in every instance, even when they hit the square and circle around for the jump - I rewound it and checked, the APC goes left and cuts off that jump the first time you hit the square.

They can cut around the right of the water fountain though and cut back to the left, they did that in the actual stage demo at E3, without having to go to the dead end.

 

[nib95]

I just love that they found a way to dramatically evolve set pieces they've done before.

Great comparison. Really shows how far they've pushed the tech.

 

[Orca]

Watch the PSX video.

Yeah someone linked it on the last page. Like I said earlier, I hope the game is more of that type of play, and keeps this kind of thing just for major events. That's what I liked less about U3, it just felt like a different game.

 

[UnwrittenZero]

Right, but while stuff like Indiana Jones puts him through a lot, what Nathan is put through in even just this demo would have killed or hospitalized him. I didn't buy it and despite Indy for example being put through rough situations, it's not even remotely close to his fucking ridiculous this was.

Surviving a nuke by hiding in a fridge comes to mind.

You have control for the vast majority of the game.

To be fair, no one counts the 4th film as actually existing.

 

[Gurish]

Only a word......amazing.

I don't get this gif, the truck hit the container and suddenly re-appear immediately, how did it catch up to them, something I'm missing. Maybe it's the hour.
