Uncharted 4 preview thread. New footage/info

On the Twitch stream they said that the only way to turn off the highlighting of enemies is to play on Crushing, no menu options for it. That's pretty dumb. I don't really want to play on Crushing just to turn off that feature as Crushing in Uncharted games tends to turn the game into a pure cover shooter. Now you can play with stealth as well, unlike the older games, but adding run and gunning into a playthrough probably won't end well. And besides that, why not just give us the option?

I completed all Uncharteds multiple times on Crushing and no way do you have to play 2 and 3 as a pure cover shooter.

I do agree it needs to be an option though, and it probably is.
 
What basis do you have for saying this? Are you aware? IIRC it was two weeks for previous ND games

I always imagine review copies get sent out 3 or for weeks from release. Could depend on how long the game is. Take Witcher 3 for example. Completing 85% from that game can take a month if you're playing it everyday. Reviewers would need at least a week or 2 to complete Uncharted 4 and write a review.
 
Well that basically means it's not there then. Oh well. I'm not sure I would have been okay with the shitty emblems taking half the screen like in 3 for it to happen anyway, but still.

Not really - in this case they literally haven't officially announced anything to do with the multiplayer at all, although IIRC Bruce is on record saying co-op exists in the game.

I think it's definitely less likely than in previous UC games, but there's still a chance. Also MP is running at 60FPS - the lighting must be hugely downgraded - so perhaps they can do splitscreen at 30FPS? (Not that that's how it works)

I agree with you – the '2 week' review copy dispatch is simply based on what Naughty Dog did in the past for The Last of Us. It's likely review copies will be going out next week.
 
Little off topic, but does anyone know what the "Naughty Dog & Pirate Sigil Sticker Sheet" looks like with the LE edition of the game?

Indeed. I am just expecting bad news on this front. They've been extremely quiet on any online co-op talk at all.

They've been extremely quiet on the entire MP. Even during beta we only got 3 maps, 1 playmode with only a few of the playable characters. I'm sure they have plenty left to talk about and I'm not expecting bad news, we didn't hear about TLOU MP until close to release and that's excellent.
 
I REALLY hope you are right about that. Menu and music needs to be different.

They will be.

On that note, the trophy list will probably get leaked if they (most likely) use the final build for PAX East. That's how Uncharted 3's trophies got leaked, from a convention.
 
Ghost zombie pirates ala 1st Caribbean movie and a brother suffering from mental illness aka Sam Avery, descendant of Henry Avery.

Are my guesses for supernatural plot tweest and the character tweest for Sam.
 
I wonder if Drake is going to encounter any indigenous peoples. I can see Drake being captured and then manages to escape before he's eaten. Later on it turns out they're good people trying to defend their homes from greedy treasure hunters and Drake will help them out. The new Tibetan village, except for the eating part.
 

I still love that Uncharted 2 dynamic theme for PS3, so good. The Uncharted 3 one I was less happy with because it had those static logos in the corners, which is never a good idea.

In case you weren't aware though, they've been quietly putting up dynamic themes for the Nathan Drake collection over the past few months. There's a theme for Drake's Fortune and Among Thieves out, and I'm sure Drake's Deception is coming.

The Drake's Fortune theme is kind of disappointing, good music choice, but not a lot of interesting things happening, it's just a shot of the u-boat, with runnin water and birds that fly by.

The Among Thieves one is what I'm currently using though, good music, decent sounds, especially compared to the obnoxious The Last of Us Remastered theme and its grating sound effects. This theme is set in the train wreck and does camera sweeps around the snow entrenched phurba as you switch between the two main bars of the menu. It has fire and snow moving constantly. My only complaint is that it uses a pretty low detail model for the phurba, instead of the one from the game, it's not too bad but considering the heavy focus on the dagger, it would have been nice if they had used the best quality model available.

I'm hoping they release good themes for Uncharted 4 though.
 
I usually trust GAF when I comes to spoilers, but I guess I should stay off of Twitter. That's where I've been spoiled more than anywhere else.
