10 years ago (yeah...) Naughty Dog gave us one of the best gameplay segments ever in a trailer at E3 and it's still impressive in 2025

If developers would start aiming for 30fps again, like GTA6 is doing, we might start to get impressive looking games like this again.

You can always patch in 60fps on PS6 or do a PC version later.

This game was boring as a slog though. The first one was miles way more fun. I almost didn't finish 4, never touched again after I finish it.

I've wanted to fire this game back up, because I genuinely enjoyed the last half of the game. It's the first half of the game that made me almost not finish it. Think it was "At Sea" or whatever chapter the game finally picked up. Super rough prior to that.

Ah yes, the time when devs blew half of their budget on a single segment meant to be shown at E3.

Now they blow half of their budget on focus-group testing and making sure all pronoums are pronouced correctly.
 
Replayed that earlier this year. The game did feel a little long, but they had a lot to wrap up.

Gameplay still outstanding, visually amazing/cohesive. Wraps up the Nate/Elena/Sully characters so well.

Glad Uncharted doesn't exist anymore. Hate it as much as the Horizon ip.

The only UC game that impressed me was the first i played, which was UC2. Then played UC1, and completely lost interest by the time the third was released.

Well. You might hate the fact that Uncharted might come back. It's rumored to be the 2nd game ND is working on.

Absolutely incredible. Still holds up strong today uncharted 4. I would love a new one.

We'll get a new one at some point, but if Cuckmann doesn't get hit by an asteroid in the upcoming years, it'll be about two muscular lesbians scissoring in some cave. So don't get your hopes up.

I mean if the gameplay is phenomenal like tlou 2, whats the big deal about girl boss characters. I'd rather let the studio do what it likes. You people who obsess over this are strange.

So

The studio can be obsessed with girl bosses.. but calling them out about it is a obsession and therefore bad ? .

...... so basically consume product and be happy for next product ?

We have only seen a short trailer. A basic premise, the actors doing he voice over are great. I expect great things from naughty dog.
I am really looking forward to his game and the other one being cooked at the same time.

People nowadays are so sensitive that are easily offended.

Also some of the best realtime (apparently) rendering I have every seen.
 
I really miss Uncharted 2 multiplayer. It was the best mp in the series and it´s a bummer that they didn't repeat the co-op formula later on. Bring back this, Sony (as a DLC or whatever in that f*cking remastered collection)!

No, I mean the game quality hinges on its gameplay, not an annoying MC.

Plenty of games have annoying main characters, yet these girl boss types primarily annoy angry gamer stereotype which leads to more pointless noise (hating on the game because of the mc, not talking honestly about game itself)

It should be a footnote but the angry vocal people tend to take it as if they have been personally attacked.

No .. a gameplay first game should be judge only for its gameplay.. ND games are heavily based on story and its characters.. if want to ignore that and just enjoy the gameplay more power to you. But their are narrative games and the narrative matters for a lot of people

This vocal minority has been more right than wrong this gen.. anyway ND still has its fanbase so the game will be fine

Agree 100%. It became an absolute chore to finish. Boring game. The original trilogy shit on this game so much.

Girl boss MC doesn't make a narrative bad and Tlou 2 wasn't goty primarily because of its narrative (which was fine btw) but because of its SUPERB gameplay, which is frustratingly not talked about as narrative complains drown out the discussion.
 
Sorry guys, I'm just too sophisticated and artistic to continue working on this eternal fountain of money that fans and investors love with all their heart. I'm going to make a game about teenage lesbians.

It dosent make bad for YOU since this is subjective and it was goty for many reasons, and many many journalists and fans talk about how genius and transcendent is Cuckman narrative efforts.

You liking it or not the game was very divisive, so you will always get different opinions about it.

The narrative is fine 7 out of 10, its pretty routine for the book world, and gutsy for a AAA game, don't really understand strong opinions, either you like it or you don't.

Doesn't come off as a divisive game at all, more like a divisive plot which vocal people actively dislike while the gameplay is universally praised.

I think game will be grate.
There is no chance they will mess this. From all Sony studios I have most faith in ND.
They rly have a talent to nail characters & narration.

No matter how good the gameplay is, they've lost a significant number of purchases just by Jordan's character model. You can check my post history as it pertained to Yasuke for example; personally, I'm not extreme when it comes to this stuff, but ND has gone out of their way to make a MC that will "piss off all the right people" after taking a hit on Part II with much less garish creative decisions.

I'm highly skeptical even that the gameplay is going to be at a Part II level for a lot of reasons, and I'll admit that their choice for main character is one of them. Actually, it has to do with the whole aesthetic. It looks very similar to the space settings we've been exposed to in recent years, plus 80s nostalgia (overdone slop) + plus Akira attire and animation ripped straight from the source + Soulslike slop. It doesn't look creatively inspired, why assume the gameplay will be inspired either?

Punish us with what exactly? The concept for the game sounds great. Did we just decide it's gonna suck because the female protagonist has no hair?

The people whining about this game from the brief snippet we saw are the biggest snowflakes on the planet, we literally know nothing about it but because it's from the studio that killed Joel and has a bald chick in it, it's gonna suck.. personally any gamer who isn't a complete muppet should be excited about a new Naughty Dog ip

She had little to nothing to do with the UC4 that came out, they reset her story etc after she departed.

yea I don't get when people say this and have no fucking clue who actually did the scene or what they did on the project and will be like

"I loved dem nun chucks in DMC3 and thats why Shinji Mikami was GOATED" lol
 
Loved this game more than i thought i would. I'm not big on these narrative driven games with action sequences, but i just loved the game and didn't felt like a drag like i thought it would on those parts. I think it might be the setting,i always loved everything about pirates. The locations are amazing, everything looks gorgeous. Great combat experience. The climbing sequences are a bit meh but it's such a small part.
 
ND is very hit and miss imho. They kinda lost me since their peak, ie imho Uncharted 2. In previous gen only J&D 1 felt like a decent platformer whereas 2 & 3 joined the open world crapwagon. Nevertheless I am looking forward to that space game or whatever they might be cooking beside that. Intergalactic might be to Concord what Guardians was to Avengers and to their luck the release dates are not that close together and there is no damning brand connection whatsoever, so hopefully is actually better and also with more success. At least that one is not part of the gaas plan, and since i very much prefer SP content, I just have to hope that it will turn out fine.
