As science correspondent I think it's important to capture the full cycle that the Drake goes through. Trust me, I finished Spore.

I spit out my God damned scotch.

On topic, I am loving the look of haggard old Drake. He is still a good-looking guy, but you can tell the thief's life really caught up with him.

 

[Angry Fork]

I don't get excited by realistic faces anymore. Just show me the water and foliage.

 

[LeBart]

Holy shit this thread went places!

 

[Jimmydg]

The resemblance is uncanny.

 

[Ndless]

Haha this is amazing!

 

[Gbraga]

This is a joke right? MGS V is hardly visually impressive. Cross gen at best. Look at those textures, smh.

What does this have to do with his post?

 

[Dmax3901]

Charlie Sheen buffed up.

My first thought was Sheen too.

Don't forget to Gerard Butler.

I don't want to play as ugly old farts. I want to be a supermodel basically. I want everyone to basically end every scene staring at my virtual ass!

Is this meant to be an advert for that Kim Kardashian game? So I guess GAF has finally sold its soul to the big publishers.

The sad part is, I honestly expect that as the game is shown more, we will seriously have a lot of topics barely if at all worth discussing any more than what you are alluding to.

Seriously, some times this forum becomes annoying to view the games section of and its usually Sony exclusives. So many unnecessary threads about TLOU, Uncharted etc. even TLOU Remastered had a horrendous amount of theeads, for a game that most people had already played, was it really necessary to have so many threads over a game that was the same thing only prettier.

When I was on the xbox forums, I stopped viewing them in the lead up to Halo because I got sick of every thread being Halo.

You need what, 3 topics maximum per game imo. Any more than that and its just shit that could have fit into the other threads.

I'm waiting to see it actually in game. Uncharted 3 had models changing between E3 and release...slightly for the worse too...

I love the UC2 model. It's just the perfect action-adventure look.

Nate's crocodile eyes are weird in that Uncharted 2 render.

Do you guys think that drake's face is soft?

I think he uses Dove MEN+CARE.

 

[Red Chocobo]

 

[Astral Dog]

He looks, ehm, eh, more realistic, weird lightning though.

 

[kamakazi5]

He looks kind of like an older, serious Messi.

 

[DOWN]

Definitely has North's eyes now. Looks awesome.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Dat uncanny valley.

 

[DOWN]

10/10 would

UC3 Drake was the best:

It was great though they did that thing where they sort of wanted this idyllic bright eye color on everyone and it came off strange seeing everyone with light eyes. Assassin's Creed Revelations did it too. Ezio's brown eyes were turned gold just to have them look unusual and bright. Same thing in Splinter Cell Blacklist.

 

[Superflat]

I'm not getting uncanny valley at all. No one was saying that when the E3 teaser trailer hit either lol

I kinda like that he looks more like Nolan North with each game.

This is pretty staggering.

 

[Shin-Ra]

If only Nawty Dawg would share a nice ProRes 200Mbit/sec or higher version of the 60fps trailer so I could capture a better still.

That's a leap alright. Dat netbook CPU, eh.

"Now you probably can’t quote me on this but I personally believe that we’ll be able to roll out some features you’ve never ever seen before anywhere else. It should be really cool!” - Andrew Maximov, Artist @ ND

I think one of those might be selective tessellation

Well someone said (here on gaf) that we were going to be amazed with some of the tech ND/ICE Team had made possible with the PS4 hardware. I can't wait.

Oh, that face looks incredibly detailed, I'm still skeptical about the 60FPS... too good to be true. Also, that looks realistic as fuck, not stylized as every other Uncharted.

EDIT: what's the source?

I think silhouette tessellation for character models on console may be a first.

 

[Callibretto]

If they're trying to be more like the voice actor, then I can't wait to see the new Elena.

Who knows, it's incredibly vague. Where did he say this?

 

[Freeman]

When I look at the Nathan Drake from the trailer I automatically forget I'm looking at 3D rendered character, it feels like I'm looking at an actor.

Here. It came up on my FB timeline thanks to ND.

When asked what he thinks about Uncharted 4’s progress, he replied: “It’s going to blow your socks off so hard that they’ll burn a hole through the Earth and come out on the other side – that’s all I can say really : )”

DAAAAYYYYUUUUUUUUMMM!!!

 

[JNA]

so sexy why aren't you real

is it wrong to be attracted to video games characters ?

*looks at my own avatar* nope...not at all.

 

[ninjablade]

drake looks around 40 years old in uncharted 4.

Source is Dualshockers. They did the interview with that artist.

Pixel love.

But seriously if this is how Nate's character model will look even during gameplay then just wow... Naughty Dog really outdid themselves. Even more surprising that this is running on the PS4, this character model is just much more detailed and photorealistic than anything else that's on other consoles or PC games.

 

[funkystudent]

Wrinkly, balding Drake is bumming me out. Its like watching the HD version of a classic show and seeing all the wrinkles on the actors faces for the 1th time and seeing the little imperfections in the sets


I really hope the main character for the ND game after Uncharted 4 isnt another grizzled middle aged man.

Gawt Dayum...I havent gone back to UC1 in forever but seeing this? ... Naughty Gods are gonna tear the fuckin house down.

 

[Qvoth]

i'm more impressed with order 1886's character model
maybe it's just the angle and lighting

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Drake's Fortune realtime cutscene (wet) vs A Thief's End realtime cutscene (wet)

At 60fps as well.

 

[nded]

Pretty much how I imagine Drake would look 10-15 years after UC3.

 

[the_batman]

At 60fps as well.

we can only hope.

Some GAFers find the 2014 version too real and prefer the one on the left. Sad but true.

So glad I'm came back to check on this thread.

 

[Renekton]

we can only hope.

I'm still hoping they bring it down to locked 30fps so we can get even more eye candy.

 

[giancarlo123x]

After TLOU I can't go back to that. Naughty God's will still knock it out the park.
