most people are already blown away by the first half of the demo, they already got a lot of hype and acclaim from showing the first demo. if they show all of the demo at once, you don't get to appreciate the feeling of watching the extended demo.
with the current approach, you got your mind blown twice instead of once. I'd say Sony play their card masterfully.

That one's native res. There's a mixture of native res and supersampled screenshots in the E3 batch.
Here's another YouTube/HQ SS comparison.
Hair's physics-driven so playing through the same cutscene you'll get slightly different positioning on that. Lighting and ambient occlusion have been tweaked between the gameplay demo and screenshots.

That's what they showed in the first gameplay demo. That was an open-ish action playground with nothing particularly spectacular going on. This is the opposite. Linear, guided, spectacular setpiece action. An Uncharted game should have both, so I'm happy!

Ahhh, that could explain it! Thanks!
Someone mentioned it in this forum recently, but it does seem like SSAO coverage is not very prominent in this game. Wonder if there's a technical or aesthetic reason for that.

you know that someone is going to slap a "XB1" and "PS4" into the corners like in an DF comparision, to troll people.

Naughty Gods making the PS4 wax poetic. Sony is lucky to have them, but more importantly we as gamers are lucky to have such a developer.
On another note, man Sully is looking old :/ I'm not sure if this will be the last Uncharted, but I don't think he'll be in another game in any type of explorative/combative narrative

YouTube seriously has shockingly bad quality. Shame basically all gaming outlets and publishers use it as the defacto way to promote their games. Gamersyde seriously deserves more love.

And I'm saying I'm disappointed in that. I shouldn't go into UC4 questioning how Nate's going to convince Elena or go behind her back to go on an adventure in this pulp action adventure game.

Still waiting for Gamersyde's version. Youtube was blocky as hell even at 1080p, and I downloaded it too.
Yeah, i watched the first half from gamersyde during E3 and was blown away. Yesterday i watched the extended demo on youtube and was like "what the fuck is that blurry shit".
I think i checked 5 times that it was really in 1080p.
Well they targeted 60fps for unveil [waking up on beach], and now they are now moving to 30. They can do a lot more with 30.
Great reaction.

By hosting billions of videos and being the second largest website on the planet I'd imagine it'd be impossible to have any better visual quality at the expense of buffering
So sell your xb1.
jk, it's definitely worth owning both if your wallet can handle it. Great exclusives on both sides.
I only really felt that happened in Uncharted 3, even then she was in Yemen working so she was still independent, and not afraid of danger. Her concern was Nate's obsession and how that was going to effect him, and the people she cared about. It was his motives she was questioning, which is totally understandable to me.
In Uncharted 2 she was in Nepal following Lesarevic herself and just happened to see Nate there. So she was actively putting herself in danger. In the village after the train crash, she actually had to convince Nate to carry on when he wanted to quit, because she saw how important it was and insisted on going to the monastery with him. She was definitely not in a concerned role in Uncharted 2, she was more into it that Nate was.
Your comparisons just made me even more anxious for the Gamersyde video. So much detail lost in that Youtube screen capture.That one's native res. There's a mixture of native res and supersampled screenshots in the E3 batch.

Here's a gif of the comparison.
Yeah, when you compare this set piece with the two from Uncharted 2 that this has clearly evolved from, the difference is staggering in terms of detail and stuff on screen.
Admittedly, UC3 set pieces had more going on, but the amount of shit going on here is ridiculous.
Damn. Could you also do a GIF of the other comparison above?
I'm questioning if some people even touched the games over the past few years.
Maybe you should youtube the games as a refresher?
Yes Elena showed concern, as did every single character in the games, but that wasn't her role in the games at all, you would see that even if you skipped every single cutscene, she was a character with her own motivations, The only person you should be concerned about lacking Agency would be Sully.
& just before someone else that hasn't played the game in a century shows up, here are a few cutscenes:

Did we even play the same game?

I disagree..The libraries are too identical and majority of the exclusives are not longevity games you play over and over again. I always just pick one console and borrow friends units for some interesting gems I want to play.
Xbox is for Halo, Forza, Gears. If you're not interested in those, or have even a slight interest in Japanese flavored games on console, I'd say you'll have a better time on other platforms. Exclusive output it really is a western focused machine.
For me, I'm kinda done with those franchises and just want to play Scalebound and maybe the Megaman's dude game. So just going to borrow from a friend or get one for like some crazy deal $250 or something.
The output will be 1080p on your screen either way
Don't you greenberg me.
I'd add this one too,

Cheers dude!

Lol can't unhear now. Best game ever confirmed!
why not? in this situation there are only a certain amount of outcomes that can happen...but we don't know how it's going to pan out. elena might just flatout leave drake in this scene and never be seen in the rest of the game? just becasue she is rightfully a concerned character doesnt mean we know how things will go with them. but it's highly unlikly she's just going to grab her coat and be all excited about another adventure given the dangers they've both been through in the past games. what you want a character to be has very little relevance in a discussion about what a character is. if you've played the past games you have clearly seen this coming. it's just how the character is. want something different? play something different!

I'm confused, why is seeing Elena a bad thing (story wise). Was she meant to be dead or something?
Seems like Nate lied to her about his whereabouts.

You can see a lot of aliasing, so no.
Agreed. People think of the "strong woman" archetype in overly one dimensional terms.
Off on that tangent, Drake never struck me as the kind of guy that could settle down and live a normal life. He seems like too much of a crazy thrill seeker. Is Elena enough for him to quit? Based on this cut scene snippet, maybe not. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

I just watched it, holy shit.
You didn't timestamp that video.
& Yeah, I understand if people are concerned with her role in UC4, but Naughty Dog are the last studio I'd think about when thinking of questionable writing for female characters. They proved that for 4 consecutive games.

Oh I see. I thought I had forgotten something bigger from a previous game. Thanks.
