Cant believe people are already complaining about the personality of Elena in U4 after a 5 second shot and 1 phrase.
I'm starting to think they shouldn't have shown this to anybody. No doubt it's one of the top showstopping sequences in the game. If they top this I'll be seriously impressed. It's like showing the convoy chase in UC2 in a trailer or something (although ND did show UC3's chase in its launch trailer, dur.)

Yusss.
They are smart; they will have something way crazier than this I bet.
Oh crap, I just fixed it.

You went through this trouble for nothing because I'm not arguing the contrary.
In Uncharted 2 it's been said these characters are satellites around Nate. This isn't my term. Elena is her own character, had her own motives, yes. But doesn't mean her role isn't meant to ground Nate to the more innocent, "picket fence", settled down lifestyle in contrast to Chloe. That was intentional.
I'm saying I miss the whimsy. That's it. I'm a huge fan of the series and the characters and their stories. Every one of them including 3 and GA. I've played them several times. I'm not some random who doesn't know what I'm talking about.
I find it odd my original post got taken as being anything about portrayal of female characters. I'm only concerned with portrayal of adventurers here. Elena used to have spunk. I'm game for the story they tell, but 4 games out, it's weird I need to worry about how Drake is going to be allowed to do his thing.

Ofc he's not, he's sitting there laughing after possibly crippling this entire city economically. It's honestly a miracle that he seemingly didn't kill civilians.

Cheers, just checking, will download... Can't wait. The YouTube footage was an improvement over twitch but the Hq versions really make a difference.
EDIT: ah it's not up on the SCEE press site yet

Some of the complains about Drake/Elena characters are just lol worthy.
Chill out guys, its just a game.

Lol it's just a book/movie/TV show/comic.
Snowy mountains + avalanche + this engine = body not ready.
If something like that is in the game... Jesus Christ.

Nothing surprises me on this forum anymore. Absolutely nothing.
You're using one aspect from Elena's character, & then reducing her entire character to that aspect, nobody is debating that one of Elena & Chloe's roles in UC2 were as the "good side" & "dark side" of Nate, but that's one aspect of their characters, that's just symbolism, this isn't Mario or Crash.
You can say Ellie just represents Joel's daughter & his loss, which is absolutely true, but reducing her to that does a disservice to her character, she's far more than that & the game shows it, just like the cutscenes I linked earlier showed that Elena is more than that one aspect you keep clinging to.
No offense, but you keep avoiding my arguments & then make the same argument over & over, yes I know that one aspect of Elena's character, but that's exactly it, just one aspect.
Did you watch the cutscenes in my previous post? Is that how a "just a lover/wife/gf" is portrayed? Where she only shows that side of her character in one or two cutscenes at most in the entire game! Did you look at how Peach from Mario & Sam from Tomb Raider are portrayed?

Seriously
Watch the truck chase from Raiders again
This set piece is like ND's biggest homage to that yet. Drake getting dragged, climbing back to the truck, fighting a driver and taking the wheel, guys climbing on the outside and Drake crashing into debris to knock them off, etc.

Try Sonys PR-agency for your country. Ours (Germany) has it already on its press-FTP.
Haha, you should have seen the FFXV threads when it was confirmed that Stella was replaced by Luna.

Hi five. Uncharted has always been one series I pride myself on following through on my media blackouts so that I can be surprised when I play them.
Really? Yes!! I'm dying for a very high quality video here! But I must admit, nearly 2GB is smaller than I hoped for. I was hoping it would be at least 2.5GB. I'll gladly have it take up more space if it means better quality.
This thread is getting a bit too ridiculous for me. I think I may need to make my exit now...

Meh 2gb but it'll have to do then. Way better than youtube that's for sure. Probably gonna have to be color corrected too so if anyone is kind enough to do that when the hq video drops.
Huh? Was what I said ridiculous? Using the PSX demo I downloaded as reference, I estimate that if this demo is nearly 2GB, the bitrate will be slightly below or around 20 000. I was expecting at least 25 000 bitrate. Hate those compression artifacts. So, please, tell me, why do you think I was being ridiculous?

It'll sure be interesting how U1 PS4 remaster Drake will compare to U4 PS4 Drake.
It's like they actually made Unkarted with all that driving.
Love it.
I haven't played The Order yet but it looks to me the problem with that game was more than its length.

Considering the others were in the 10 hour range, I doubt that's a concern
I think they said they weren't quite sure on how long the game would be, but they felt it was the biggest Uncharted game they ever made.
Sorry, I cannot link press-FTPs here. Just wait for the vid to be uploaded on Gamersyde. And the quality is not that great. On further inspection the motion blur kills a lot of detail in fast scenes. Or is it my playersoftware? Welp... just wait it out.
Seriously? You must have never played a Naughty Dog game if you think they will make a 5 hours game.

They said they have an enhanced photo mode in this game. I'm wondering if they've added a Gif maker?

You need to google this article: Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End Gets a Lot More Info on Gameplay, Frame Rate, Photo Mode and More
He collected the infos from the live twitch:
Just after showing the full E3 demo of Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End, Co-Lead Game Designers Kurt Margenau and Anthony Newman answered a few questions from the fans.
Heres a summary of the information they gave:
- E3 has ended, but the team is still working on improving the gameplay included in the demo. For instace, a developer has noticed that the speedometer of the Jeep was at zero during the demo.
- The demo isnt an early level, but its a little later, after the player has already gotten used to the mechanics.
- Its not accurate that the game is getting darker because the team behind The Last of Us is working on it. The series is just maturing, but the theme is still adventurous and bombastic.
- The jeep is something Naughty Dog wanted to do in the Uncharted series for a while, and it overlaps a lot with other mechanics in the game, like the rope.
- The team looked at the game and picked up the appropriate slice of gameplay for E3, according to the fact that it can show the best features of the game in little time, with the right pacing and without needing too much setup.
- The demo is one of the craziest parts of the game, and its the current benchmark for the number of opbjects on the screen and destructibility.
- Naughty Dog hasnt decided how long the game will be, bit feels the biggest Uncharted they ever made.
- The multiplayer beta will be exclusive to those who will buy the Nathan Drake Collection.
- Sam Drake is much more Drakes equal than any other character in the game, as hes similar to him and has the same skills and knowledge. The chemistry between voice actors is great.
- Single Player will run at 30 frames per second. It was the best solution for the gameplay and quality, and Naughty Dog wanted to have the best looking game possible, with the best graphics and phisics possible. Framerate has to be considered against everything else in the game, and the developers feel that locked, stable 30 FPS is better than variable 60. On top of that, higher frame rate would require even more optimization for every level, inflating the time it takes for each to get made and requiring the team to make more compromises.
- Multiplayer still targets 60 frames per second, and the team cant wait to show it off.
- The team learned from The Last of Us to create more open levels, and core mechanics influencing the interaction between characters, to make them come out as more alive.
- Having an Arabic language localization is a priority for the team, but its not known if itll actually be in, for now.
- The rope has been implemented because its a perfectly natural evolution, and an extension of the fluidity of Uncharteds gameplay. Very little of it was shown so far, but its a big part of the game and its gonna be used a lot. Its the most realistic rope Newman has ever seen. It can pin on a ledge and create a swing point. The spin point can also physically slide.
- Nathan Drake is physically enabled almost all the time, and a lot of ragdoll physics have been added to him. Theres a lot of crazy new tech going on with him. The team wanted to make him as responsive as possible to the stick, but still look like a person reacting realistically (but in a slightly over-the-top cinematic way) to situations.
- There are different animations for slightly lover cover positions, to which Drake can automatically switch as the cover becomes lower (for instance the deflating bags).
- Theres going to be a photo mode in the game, and the team is going to improve it from the one we saw in The Last of Us.
i wont...
Would be lovely if we can ride a bike. Though given the setting in that artwork I guess it ended up being the Jeep.
Thanks for the info dump. Everything about U4 sounds amazing right now. Can't wait for the multiplayer show either.
And from what I've seen, the story or characters do not seem darker as people feared after Druckmann and co. have had the helm. Shaping up to be a spectacular entry.
Biggest Uncharted game yet? That's amazing.
With the amount of work that must have went into making that entire coastal village I assumed they wouldn't be able to keep that level of detail up for the usual length of an Uncharted game.
How long have they been working on this game and how many people do they have? It almost seems inconceivable what they have managed to do. They will probably have to sell a shit ton to cover what they spent on it.
All speculation of course...

It's the motion blur. The Gamersyde E3 demo still had noticeable compression because of it. Still it was 100x better than youtube quality.

Didn't watch the entire thing, only a glimpse here and there. I am betting that both Neil and Bruce were big fans of the combine chopper from Half Life 2 (going by the Humvee in Last of Us and the armored truck in this game)
