That's like asking if sex is really better than being the first person on the moon.

No, everyone thought it was and still do.
I am trying to finish HM as we speak.
I haven't played any indie titles. Overall am okay with any genre.

Ah, Okay. That actually sounds like a good plan.
Uncharted 2 was the better game in every respect. I remember people saying "how are they going to top this with uncharted 3?" The answer is they didn't. As much as I love the series, I hope they retire it, same thing for god of war. Lets get a new ip from naughty dog for next gen.

I feel weird for never having found out that guys name.
Play mark of the ninja next. Honestly one of the finest stealth games of all time, the mechanics are so tight.

I got your back. You won't be alone in that fight. Scorched Earf and everything.
How about that accent?

The thread for that video was from Vire and spawned this awesome GIF:

Don't want to derail the OT too much, but Uncharted 4 on PS4 is the one game I'd kill to see revealed
I could just imagine what ND could with next gen tech. I love set pieces and there are so many possibilities that haven't been done yet that is just ripe for Uncharted
- Any type of action scene set during an earthquake or tornado
- Chases across the Brazilian shantytown rooftops
- More collapsing structures
For your avatar's sake, so do I.
If this is indeed UC3-2, you guys have my sword, axe, shield, etc.

Game can be pretty fucking scary at times. Just got past one part where I almost shat myself just trying to figure out what to do. Once I figured it out though, DAT SIGH OF RELIEF (disclaimer: I did not shit my pants). This game, man.

That's the trick. The generational gap would quell uncharted's sequel fatigue. As disappointed as I was with UC3 I would totally be down with UC4 on PS4.
If he is ever in another video, I will once again dawn Fabro as my avatar.

Forgot to preorder the Survival Edition. It's sold out everywhere

We can both keep them! I made mine, it's slightly different lighting haha.
But yeah, I agree until people start making avatars from cutscenes and such.

Its so cosy in here. Safe from all the crazy E3 hypetrains.
I'd love to see an Uncharted located in South America, I'm from Peru so maybe the Amazon rainforest can be a great location, you could have action scenes in Peru and Brazil too.
Definitely stoked to see what Naughty Dog has got in store for us PS4 wise.

Now that you mention it, I hope we don't see spoilery avatars during the release weekend and the week after

I hope this game is just as good as the masterpiece that was UC3.
Who am I kidding though I'm sure this game will blow everything out of the water, I can hardly contain my excitement.
Thought I was gonna take that back? Haters gonna hate.

Here's hoping! I've kind of half spoiled myself (cutscene name leak), but I still don't want to know anything else! Haha.

Seems to me as just an excuse to show off tech. I would rather prefer ND go the way of TLOU utilizing tech to achieve their artistic vision and not the other way around. This "setpiece" gimmick is done with almost 90% of the AAA games it's exhausting. There is no excuse to use next-gen power for flashy nonsensical backgrounds for the sake of "wow" factor. I'd rather they focus on AI, player agency and emergence to the next level. The set-pieces should only appear when they make sense unlike what they did with Uncharted 3.
I've only seen the beginning..but if the beginning is any indication of where this narrative will take us then it's a big emphatic YES

Anyone know how the preorders are looking and are there any midnight releases? I know sales aren't that important here but a game like this deserves all the sales it could get.
My first recommendation is always Spec Ops: The Line.
As far as some cool PC indies go:
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Gunpoint
Dyad
DLC Quest
To The Moon
Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (isometric loot ARPG)
Honorable mention to Barkley's Shut Up and Jam Gaiden, which is completely free and the best game ever made.

Isn't the European version available to be preloaded? I know here in the NA the PSN store doesn't support preloading.
That GIF really makes the lackluster compositing apparent. Wow at his neck. In related news, I'm scouring the LA area trying to get an early copy. It can't be for nothing.Time to get comfortable, guys and gals.
We have the potential game of the generation to discuss in here.

Huh just got a call from a friend saying he got me a copy early. Why is it the games I don't really care about getting early I get early?
I will pay you for it + a modest finders fee. :'(
Uncharted 3 was awesome. There was simply no way it was going to meet the expectations of UC2.
Personally, I think UC2 = UC3, but I think the game just has a different focus and tone than the previous games. Each Uncharted has felt very different from one another, despite keeping the core of the series the same. For me, UC3 is subjected to the same hyperbolic levels of hats that MGS 4 and GTAIV get. The games are by no means perfect, but I've played truly terrible and dissappointing games, and those three ain't it.
Anyway, great OT, but I'll probably not be in here much, as due to already being near spoiled by the review thread, I'm not taking any more chances.

It feels like everyone in the world has the game and the last of us doesn't.

I haven't looked at the trophies either but I heard there aren't many (if any) story related ones other than for beating the game. It seems like ND didn't want to break the atmosphere/immersion by having trophies pop after every second. I kind of like that (even though I'm a trophy fiend).
