Agreed. The resolution bump will definitely produce a much clearer image which will make a pretty big difference.

I really hope this turns out true. I'm hyped about 60fps but my expectations for the actual graphics upgrade are still fairly low. I truly hope ND shatters my expectations.
My face is ready.

Why are they being so secretive with this? It's frustrating

maybe because they're busy working on finishing the game rather than preparing footage?
looks like they're in crunch mode, i'm sure we'll get some good footage once it goes gold
How are they being secretive? It's a port of a year old game, there's no secret to keep.

I guess the framerate isn't rock solid yet so that's why we haven't seen any extended gameplay.
Does seem a bit bizarre to not show footage for a remaster of a one year old game. It's not like they have to worry about spoilers?

Game is a month from release and we still don't have any gameplay footage. It's bizarre. And annoying.
Have we even gotten significant amounts of footage from remasters before release?
Vire
Member
Sure, Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary showed off a fair amount ahead of time.
I guess that's more of a remake though right?
Im assuming they are going on the basis that horrible youtube videos would do more harm than good.

This. E3 presentations are usually forked from the main build weeks or months In advance. No reason to spend time polishing something that will be thrown out. It is best they spend those resources focused on the final release.

We have had about half a second of footage from this game
I remember TR PS4 version was happy to show off the upgrades they made and GTAV has shown a greater variety of footage as well.
I was more referring to ones of games that aren't long from release. We haven't really gotten anything from Metro Redux either, aside from a 240p IGN Youtube video.

I guess pushing everything they can to make sure the game looks great.
They did say they are having trouble porting it, as TLOU was made to really make great use of the PS3 hardware. Won't be surprised if they are still sorting the kinks out.
The thing this port improves on are wasted on the normal means of distributing videos online. Sure, they could release high quality video for people to download, but those people should already know what to expect, it's TLoU but 1080p/60fps.

And you know what happens with unfinished gameplay that gets released don't you?
Digital Foundry is there to dissect its every minute detail, and highlight any infinitesimal flaw or drop in frame in the unfinished footage....
Vire

Yeah I suppose, I was just hoping for a bit more given the "improved textures, assets and lighting" talk.
1080p/60fps is good enough I guess.
Good point. Complete forgot about TR.

I'm sure it's been pointed out already but shortly after UC3 was released, a 60fps video was spotted in the wild, which many speculated was running on some sort of PS4 or PC running PS4 specs: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-what-if-uncharted-3-ran-at-60-fps
They're also not using a new engine for PS4, but the existing engines from UC and LoU - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/...-last-of-us-engine-for-ps4.html#ixzz2UrTOf3Le
Given that I'm pretty confident they'll hit 60fps, but I do agree it's odd we've seen no gameplay footage of the game with less than 40 days before release.

Can I activate my PS4 as primary console against multiple accounts? I've got UK, Aus & US...
Well we have seen improved models, AA, and motion blur on top of the resolution and framerate boosts. Higher res assets and AF combined with that would make a pretty big impact.

So, an Uncharted Remastered trilogy is possibly in the works? Man i'd get them all again if they ditched the mp for U2 & 3.
Vire

Just show me Bill's Town. I think that area will benefit the most from the improvements.
AA and AF will go a seriously long way in that environment.
I agree. Boston will probably benefit a lot too.
The explosion in the E3 trailer looked notably better too. There will no doubt be lots of improvements, but none of them are going to shine when viewed on YT, so they're probably better off not bothering.
Even that trailer was fairly heavily compressed. Showed off the framerate well though. A Youtube trailer will probably make it look borderline identical, even if there are lots of little improvements. I'm expecting lots of small improvements with the major ones being framerate and resolution.
I do hope the load times are improved as well.
Vire
Member
Eh, if the fidelity improvements aren't really noticeable on Youtube, then they aren't really that improved.
The Tomb Raider video they put out on Youtube made it pretty evident how much was improved aside from the framerate and resolution.
I don't think it's unreasonable for people to ask to see what they are paying close to full price for ahead of time.

Anybody receive a refund yet?
What would be unreasonable? How much control over a marketing campaign should a preorder buy you?

Given the number of remasters we've seen, I think an UC collection is almost certain and will probably be released prior to UC4 to lead up to its release.

More than one second of actual gameplay footage, I can tell you that.

If I hadn't played any of the Naughty Dog games on the PS3, the jump to next gen would have seemed much bigger.
Vire
Member
Yep, with all the added content too.
That's because I'm in my parent's basement working on it. I just finished testing level 3 and need to tighten up the graphics a little bit. It's going to take a while because I did the port in Scheme.
You got time to pull out that shake to recharge the torch thing? Y'all were trippin' with dat crap.
Enter a bug in devtrack pls.

Yes! Please, shake to recharge the battery was da worst.

What? That was some of the best use of the gyro in a game I had seen. Much better than the balancing mechanic from UC.
Vire
Member
I don't really like gyro in anything though. Shaking the spray can for Infamous was also silly.

It was torture, but i purposely didnt finish this game because i had a hunch that it would come to ps4. I got to the part where
How far untill completion is this? 40%?

Agreed. I usually would hit the side of my controller like I would an actual flashlight if it were to start flickering.

You were at the end of level 4 out of 12 and a half. So I guess like a third through?

Yeah, probably 40% or so. Hard to recall, but that seemed relatively early on.

Holy shit, this is in July? Perfect to pick up with my shiny new PS4. I was a 360 owner and was never really jealous of PS3 games until this came along. Everything about the game just strikes a chord with me. Atmosphere, environment, story, gameplay. Looks fantastic and I can't wait. Wish they were also doing an Uncharted Collection.
