I couldn't see any images either so just left at default. Maybe a bug?

Sorry for the repost, but the thirst is real, only have the next two days off, then work till mid next week, so if this will work, I will go pick it up now..
CHAPTER 10!!!
Yup it's a crazy chapter with chapter 11, blown away...
You going to return the Amazon copy to Target? Sure why not, as long as it is the same version, I can't see this as an issue.

Why wouldn't it work? You are returning a sealed copy back to a store, there is no special marking on it that says it is from Target or Amazon. You are good to go man. Get it and enjoy the game.

Is Nate's theme song not in the game?

How long does it take to beat this game? I'm dedicating this Friday and Saturday to the story mode
UPS says on time but it is usually on the truck for delivery by now. If I have to I'll drive to the warehouse to pick this up today if it isn't delivered, and that's about an hour away.
Edit: and as of now I'm the only one at work in my department. If that stays true, today is going to be extremely slow.
Edit2: out for delivery

This game makes me really miss the non-sticky cover system from TLOU.

That's a shame. They're 5 for 5 for me when it comes to games getting delivered days before release.

Didn't get chance to upload yesterday but my Special Edition arrived, so damn good. Sadly I won't get a lot of time to play until the weekend but from what I've played so far, it's really good and man those graphics are gorgeous, it looks amazing on my 55" 4k TV.

The graphics are just....no words.
I....I think they might have actually done it. I think they might have topped Uncharted 2.
Bit excessive, but I certainly understand where he's coming from. Like I said, finishing this game was bittersweet.
I'm not one to obsess over game length, but I have limited time until my wife gets back in town on Sunday. Are we looking around 12 hrs or so for a non collectible run through? Thanks.
I don't see why not. It's not like Amazon's copies will have special UPCs or anything.

It's almost unbelievable how well this runs and how great it looks, it really puts other games to shame.
I'm still really early on so I haven't done much but I'm liking it so far.

Ok so impressions from the first 5 hours. I'm currently at the beginning of Chapter
in
This is the most incredible cinematic action adventure game I have ever played. Including The Last of Us. It's by far the best Uncharted game.
Obviously I'm currently well under halfway through and my option could changed but based on the first 5 hours the pacing, game design and storytelling have all far exceeded my already high expectations.
The characters are far more fleshed out and emotive than ever before, the writing standard is more serious in tone, more dramatic and reflective but that doesn't mean the humour isn't still there. Far from it. There have been many one liners and back and forth between characters that have made me chuckle out loud while playing. The villains are fantastic here, they have depth to them. They're not one dimensional bad guys like some of the game's past bad guys have been. They feel like well rounded people. In fact I'd compare the way they are written and developed on screen to those in Nolan's Batman series.
Sam is a fantastic addition to the cast and Elena is more lovable than ever before, Sully seems older and wearier but still has his token quips and attitude. He just seems slightly more reserved than in previous games.
Graphically I can't say much that hasn't been said before. Animations, environments, FX, skyboxes, and lighting is completely out of this world. I have a good PC but even then this visually bests anything else I've ever played by quite a margin. Even the far more linear and scripted The Order.
Music I heard mixed reports. I've been playing the game with headphones and to my ear, the soundtrack is absolutely stellar. Especially when the action gets going, it sounds exciting and bombastic. During cutscenes and quieter moments, the soundtrack calms and is more there as background ambience. Similar to the way it worked in TLOU. It feels very complimentary and works well.
Audio design is great. Superb performances from the cast and environmental ambience is spot on, as are the weapons.
Talking of weapons the gunplay feels far and away better than anything the series has done before. Gunplay was always a criticism I had with previous games, it never felt as good as it should have. Here (and i play a lot of shooters) it's quite simply some of the most satisfying feeling weaponry I've ever played in a TPS. Better even than the excellent TR 2013 reboot.
As mentioned previous the game is more open too, not open world but it gives you plenty of explorable terrain and optional ways to approach encounters. Stealth is now a totally viable approach much of the time and works well. It feels very refreshing.
I'll close these impressions with a few final statements.
- The first six chapters of the game held my interest to the point I played them in a single session after midnight. The way the story starts is so confident and assured, it perfectly switches between big moments and quieter moments in a way you'll never see coming. One of the best opening few hours, if not the best in any game ever.
- The set-pieces are still there. The BIG set-pieces I mean. Many people had commented that they weren't as explosive and crazy as before. I can't really work that out as I've had at least 2 so far that literally blew me away just as much as anything else the series has produced previously. So yeah... don't worry about spectacle - it's there.
Anyway back to it!

I had pre ordered this on the PSN and then got a refund after the release date changed awhile back. Today though it still shows I already purchased it and so I went to my download list and it's currently downloading. I'll take it. Like a thief.

Assuming both copies have the same UPC (they should), yes, you can do this.

My digital deluxe edition unlocked at midnight, but I was already in bed because I had to work today. This day needs to end now!!!! I preordered the original Uncharted, so this series holds a special place in my heart.
For all in the US who got bit by Amazon and had their heart set on playing today.... Redbox has it in most machines already for $3 a day and just be sure to tell your chat rep that when you complain for a credit. You should get a minimum of a free month of Prime added without pressing the issue.
Amazon used to be clockwork shipping on monday and getting here on tuesday but this is the 2nd game in a row they've missed release. Guess they over estimated their ability with the added business Prime discount preordering created.

Alright, here you go, at default and both brightness extremes:
When I was going through it at midnight last night, my thought was obviously "well, they've BOTH disappeared, so I have to crank it up" but when they still wouldn't show it was "well, I guess my TV is too low and this is as close as it gets".
I corrected it (after 5 chapters of Nate's hair not going dark after being ginger) by going back and using the greyscale bar which I guess is what the intention was (because the default was correct), but that's not what the text is describing at all.
So basically, [PSA] The brightness calibration page is fucked and should be ignored.

Thanks all. Going to take a couple hour nap and then go try my luck at retail.
Pretty decent changes, I wasn't super hot on the beta but that might have been due to the new maps being just incredible.
