There's no way to rewatch cutscenes from the main menu like previous games is there?

Weird to see that the ricebags in the market place got downgraded from the videos. Shooting holes in them no longer made the rice pour out
Um it absolutely does make the rice pour out I specifically went to cover behind them and the effect looked better than that trailer.
This was my second favorite level actually precisely because I felt the balance was on-point.

They are consistently incredible, the art teams best work by far. Probably my favorite part of the game alongside the story.
Just finished Chapter 11.
I catched up on the franchise with the Nathan Drake collection last year and this game definitely has the potential to be up there with Uncharted 2. I don't hold the series in that high "masterpiece" regard as a lot of other people but this is still a really great and fun game.

I actually quadra checked by dying on purpose four times to test it but no rice or deflation was presented for me
The game is all up-to-date and all too.
Don't think so
I can't quite put my finger on why exactly. Hopefully it will grown on me.

That's weird cause for me, the rice fell out and the bags deflated.

Believe it or not I've never played an UC game despite owning a PS3 from 2008 until 2013 when the PS4 was released. So the million dollar question is: do I need to have played the prior UC games in order to play UC4? I may pick it up tonight depending on the responses...

This game is so Uncharted... it's like the anti-Uncharted!!!

A lot of the game reminds me of Sands of Time in a lot of ways, so you're not alone
You don't need to but you're doing a disservice to your gaming life for not having played U2 lol, and missing out on U1-U3 means you will not be as attached to the characters and references in this game. But the game's story is cleanly isolated and you can enjoy the gameplay and story for what it is on its own.
But hopefully if you only play U4 that you're inspired to pick up the Uncharted Collection and play the others. They're great games and give context for U4.
It would be a grave mistake to miss out on the previous 3 games and just jump into 4 cold. You might still enjoy 4 regardless but I'll go so far as to say that you objectively will not enjoy it as much as you would if you had played the others.
What the fuck? Where's my fucking rice, ND?

Personally, there is absolutely no way I would be enjoying this game as much as I am if I had skipped the previous games. I really, really, REALLY think you should play the Nathan Drake Collection before going through Uncharted 4.

With all the climbing at ludicrous heights in this game...it reminds me more of Assassin's Creed (in the city areas anyway)
No but worth watching these short recaps. Playing the previous games will give you greater appreciation though. A lot of callbacks.

Yep.
Just finished it earlier today...... amazing game.
Easily beats out TLOU even imo, this is their best output.
I think you're giving out a little bit too much information here in the non-spoiler thread.
If you want to talk about what you did and didn't like with the way they done the game, especially stuff central to how the story was done and what it focuses on, you're in the wrong thread. Go to the spoiler thread.

Whilst you can understand the story, i really feel like the story only really clicks cause you've known sully/elana/nate for so long.

got to chapter 11 or 12. Had to pace it so stopped playing because I want the experience to last. Just so good. The new combat with the tall grass and swinging (playing on hard) is tricky enough to be bloody satisfying when you finish the encounters.
I actually loved the challenge. You take out the RPG guys first or sneak around and get as many as you can before kicking off the firefight + run and roll a lot.

I'm on chapter 7 now. I've never been a big fan of the first few levels in every Uncharted released so far (e.g. UC2 only started to get really good at chapter 6 iirc) and this trend seems to continue in UC4 but for even more chapters than in previous games. I'm not having all that much fun yet tbh. Also, Naughty Dog's eagerness for being cinematic and telling a story seems to get more and more in the way of the gameplay. I feel it's getting out of balance, more than in previous games.

michael92, edit that shit. Jesus Christ.
Some people need to learn how to use spoiler tags. Respect those of us who haven't finished the game, please.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Its probably been mentioned before, but the photocopy of a forum topic printout Sam hands over about the auction is a full on NeoGAF nod right? Even had OT in the topic title.
also holy fucking shit, this game is astounding.

I'm actually glad if that's the case.
The supernatural elements in the previous games always fell flat for me
Yeah I'm pretty sure I did.

Time to give my PS4 a good workout!
by playing uncharted 4 as the fans go insane :| [/spoil]
So is a certain logo on the side of a certain jeep.
Yeah, totally agree. I wish if there are more encounters beacuse the stealth and shooting in this game is really really good and I hope they made us play with it more.
If anyone from ND reading this, please make the DLC have more encouters but at the same time make some sections slow and just walking and talking.
I think the perfect blance is The Last of Us, where you had a lot of enemies and also have a lot of slow sections.
However, I think Uncharted 4 is the best in the series along with Uncharted 2 ( because of the huge set pieces in that one ).

I just finished it... damn fine job, fantastic game. I still think the UC series isn't all that great when it comes to actual gameplay, but holy shit, what a ride.
Also, looking at the credits, do we have any idea how much UC4 cost to make? I think I saw like 20 outsource studios, so at this point, it feels a bit weird to only praise Naughty Dog, since they probably had more people from the outside working on it than from the inside.
The one thing that these kinda games just don't have is player retention. Games like Dark Souls you can beat numerous times and keep playing, with games like UC or really any of these 'Hollywood-games', I never really want to go back in and play it again.

Just finished the game. Such a perfect ending IMO! Thanks, Naughty Dog.

It was brilliant. Finished it.
Easily the best playing Uncharted, with the best game design. So much variety in my opinion. I've heard people complain about how much 'move the box to platform' there is in the game, but this game has the best puzzles and so much variety in game design outside of that, I can only assume those bits stand out more to them. By that I mean, I got huge Left Behind vibes more than once. Shooting/melee combo feels stunning, melee specifically. Once again like Last of Us, I feel like the game never even offers me ENOUGH of the ridiculous giant shootout arenas I desire to use all the abilities. Occasionally some of the controls bothered me a bit. I felt like buttons don't always respond to get into cover in addition to the melee (specifically if you're standing on top of some cover and someone is below you, I found Nate swinging punches at the air, rather than doing a kick to the face like he used to - while I'm being shot to Emmental). But other than that it's the best feeling Uncharted.
Story was great, superb characters I was intrigued all along really. I can see people liking Sam now, I didn't expect to like him that much. Superb villains, I'd love to have seen more of them. I'd say occasionally the tone felt a little too adult for Uncharted. It was a lot less happy-go-lucky in the back end - I could go into specifics about when, but I don't want to spoil. And the very last scene you see was the complete opposite problem, too saccharin for my tastes, but it was at least well executed.
Graphics deserve, you know, a little nod. I think it's testament to the guys who work on the art, the rendering/graphics coders that time and time again they do so well. I dunno, they're always at the top of the game. And this is also by far the best animated Uncharted. Animations in this are beautiful. Climbing and melee especially.
The sound is the real loser here, the audio mixing is bad. To the extent I was wondering if it was my TV, because no one else had complained. Switched to earphones and found it wasn't my TV. The soundtrack is not very Uncharted, it's very monotonous and lacks tonal variety. And when it's (rarely) used in game, it's too quiet and often at odds with the light-hearted direction of acting, because it's all so moody.
I need to go through and play it again to have more informed opinion. I needed to rush through it first time to avoid spoilers, but I am so ready to go again. I love it.
Only the trucks bullets then I guess, because they did for me.
