Uncharted 4 MP weekend officially announced

MP looks so poor compared to single player, expected but still.
Battlefront is much more impressive if we compare MP vs MP, and it does much more, wonder why there is such a massive drop compared to the single player.

Still, excited for the weekend.

i imagine if battlefront had a SP it would look better then it's MP too. it's just the way these things seem to work. i imagine the animations and having them all sync with all players takes a good chunk or resources too. i mean, how many MP games have animations as varied and smooth as uncharted?
 
I'm excited to see any progress/changes made. I'd love for it to nudge closer towards Uncharted and further away from TLOU. Hopefully mines have been expunged.
 
I played BF and I don't think there's a massive gulf between it and UC but it's extremely dependent on the map. The jungle map is amazing. Madagascar is alright, the colors make it look worse then it should.

The character models in UC4 though, so damn good.

I'm still waiting on the final build to judge however. Don't want to make too many graphical conclusions while UC4 MP has severe FPS issues.
 
Yup.

As predicted, it's the same client as the closed beta, so if you still have the closed beta installed, you don't need to download anything else.

Do you think they'll add Rafe and Nadine to the playable characters or nah ?
 
Anyone can put a direct link from the PSN store? can't seem to find it and I want to start download it now while my PS4 is on rest mode.
 
That's what I'm hoping. I'll still put in all my weekend time into the beta. I just wanted new and shiny.
Its not like the last beta didnt have a load of updates - hopefully they do the same this time, though I guess theyll be more interested in tweaking the netcode

That was largely balances and server side stuff. Nothing really on the performance side.

Edit: I meant server, always get confused.
 
Downloaded. I just deleted the closed beta a few days ago. Now I wish I hadn't. 3 days is too short. Should have been 4-5 days.

New map looks like Old Quarter. I'm sure it will look 10 times better than what it looks like in that picture. I like the night setting.

Cant wait till Friday.

Edit: I really hope the music and main screen is more .. cheerful in the final game.
 
I had my fill. ND let us play with the absolute least they could get away with and it got boring fast. I'm looking forward to the full version come launch, though.
 
ND please have your matchmaking on point!

The closed beta was personally a nightmare for getting into games.
Can't wait for it though, the controls were some of the best for a tps I've experienced.
 
Downloading it right now. I can't wait to play this on the weekend. I'll try to get some friends to join me. All I care about is playing as Elena and kicking arse. How is the balance in the beta/game? Are those special spirit things game changers or are they balanced?

Always been this way with Naughty Dog games and doubly so with this one (60fps in MP/30fps in SP)

Yea you are right, U2 and 3 mps were ugly as well, it's like they are using some leftover assets on their MP.

It's probably what it is, like you said, most of the budget goes toward single and it seems like they are really trying to put a great core experience for MP but not much more, otherwise they'll go way over budget I guess, they don't have Rockstar's budget here to invest in MP like it's another game.

Wait, you guys are serious? The game looks beautiful. Battlefront is MP only so of course it's going to look better--they don't have to focus on anything else.

Dang it, I want to keep my library pure lol.

Pure how? You only download full games or something?

Yup.

As predicted, it's the same client as the closed beta, so if you still have the closed beta installed, you don't need to download anything else.

I don't understand how this is possible since there's a new map. I guess it'll come via a patch as soon as it's live (or whenever the map is released)?

I can only hope that the spawns are fixed. And the load times/finding games.

I didn't have issues with spawns--it always spawned me close to a teammate--but the matchmaking/party splitting struggled here and there even after all the patches. It definitely got better though.

Oh it doesn't look terrible or anything, it is actually quite nice looking. Just that it is definitely a big step down from the visuals in the SP, which is to be expected.
