Uncharted 2 PS4 Gameplay

One last and I'm going to bed :)

Just tried to do some comparison screenshots on the Uncharted 3 intro scene (yeah...I'm new to this comparison thing lol)

Lighting and texture resolution seems to have improved. Granted, it is a pre-rendered cutscene, but you are still able to tell the difference, which is great for a tiny YouTube screen. So imagine the difference on a TV.
 
Shadows are weirdly dithered...
Realtime shadows got that treatment it seems. Funny thing is that ditherer portion is still transparent. I suspect this subtle dither won't be visible on most TVs due to distance people sit from them, and the fact that so few people sets their TVs to 4:4:4 color, so the colors are always slightly smudged.

It seems a little silly to compare such low-res images. Click the fullscreen button.
 
More than the gameplay, the problem with uncharted 3 was that the story felt unfinished and that the things they were trying to pull out story-wise were discarded later on.

To be honest i felt like the last third of the game was a "fuck off let's just finish this" instead of a proper ending :p
 
One last for UC3 :)

Damn!

UC3 is really impressive and artistically the environments are beautiful, can't wait to go on that adventure again!

Agreed, but storywise I also found there to be many good elements to UC3. I loved how they fleshed out Nate and Sully and felt most support characters were done well. The villain plot was rushed though, but it didn't bother me too much in the end as the adventure itself felt great and the character interactions were done well.
 
PS3 (all explosions)

PS4 (barrel explosions)

*I'm quite happy with this. The fire disperses through the rising smoke longer, there's more spread and breakup as it rises, extra secondary flame offshoots and rather than just a brief flash, it seems to be a lasting light source. That might have differed by in/outdoor environments on PS3 though, I can't remember. It loses some of the clear bubbly gassiness of the original I still think looks beautiful.

*Just wish variations of this effect could be used everywhere, not just barrels.
 
So, what is the deal with UC3-Drake's in-game model? His jaw has always looked off.

Classic case of lockjaw, probably resulted in his inability to aim properly in Uncharted 3. Shame with the new aiming they didn't patch out the lockjaw as that will severely ruin my immersion :/
 
Damn, Uncharted 3 looks better than 90% of current gen games, I can't believe how amazing that game looked on PS3 & still ran at stable 30fps.

Damn, this looks amazing. This area looked great on the PS3 version, I was always impressed with how good the lighting looks in the forest. Now it looks even better on the PS4. Uncharted 3 on PS4 honestly looks better than a sizable amount of current gen games. Bluepoint have really done an excellent job.

Youtube doesn't do any comparisons justice, but the PS4 version looks much sharper and clearer here, probably because of the higher resolution. Also, AF looks greatly improved. The road looks much clearer on the PS4.
 
Question:

Does the Gamersyde stream have the Day 1 patch installed?

No.
Has motion blur been confirmed?
Edit: Never mind just watched the Gamersyde videos. there is motion blur but very subtle.

You have 4 different settings of motion blur available in the game.

1) OFF
2) Object based
3) Camera based
4) Object + Camera.

The default I think is object. I didn't watch the whole stream but at one point the gamersyde stream switched to object + camera, and said they'd revert back to object in a bit, I have no idea if they did though.

Oh, that's nice!

Everything's pointing to a great remaster job from Bluepoint.

It looks like they shopped his big head onto a smaller body. I wish they hadn't used Uncharted 3's character model in all three games (or is it just two games?). It's not natural. Part of the fun was seeing how the characters changed both visually and in their personalities. You don't really get that with the same character model.
 
That train sequence. Its just as awesome as I remember playing it.

UC2 has to be one of the best games ever made. Everything about it is perfect.

I don't believe the character models were changed in any game. Just the hair and skin shader from 3 was put onto the character model in the first one
 
Quick UC3 one:

I just asked on our stream, and driftwood doesn't really sense any difference in aiming between uc2 and 3 in the collection.

hot damn

I will def. get this collection when I am done with Disgaea 5 and Dragon Quest Heroes

yeah it really was the first game that made me feel like I was inside a big budget hollywood action movie. The set pieces were extraordinary from start to finish
