The amount of people getting early copies pale in comparison to when release day hits.

I can only speak for Malaysia, but I've searched for copies this whole weekend, and I can't get it early.
Also, when you look at on scale, we're looking at what? A max of probably 50,000 early copies?
This game will sell in day one over a million copies easily, and more reasonably more than 2 million in a week.
We're talking a 2.5% here at best.
Do you need to complete Hard to unlock Crushing?

I think so. thats how crushing was playable in all Uncharted games so I am assuming the same will be the case.
Always go hard with ND games. Never fails.

Yea.. I am leaning towards Hard more and more. With the addition of stealth in the game, a good challenge is always fun and it may even prolong the game by a few hours.

Copies in UK were stolen and then sold them off eBay. They are certainly PAL version. However, US/NTSC versions seems legit. Someone got them early and selling them on US eBay probably.
I bought a copy of the game on eBay that is arriving tomorrow. The case is in what appears to be in Spanish. I just want to make sure its legit and I won't get in trouble With Sony for playing it?
If you don't mind how much did u pay for it?

You won't. No worries.
Every copy of the game is 'legit', however I'm not sure Sony can actually track specific ones from the stolen batch, and probably won't since it's too late already.
$120 shipped.

It's NTSC so I believe that you can still get content from the store, no?
This is an issue because ? If the art quality is on par what's the issue ? ( Cause if not we can go down the road of pay 90 100 for a game a pop )
In the sense rdr was earlier in the gen . and btw we OUTSOURCE too to Vietnam etc . It's capitalism way it works .
haha that's not fair man!!
They were. Spanish cover means it probably wasn't stolen.
Was the stolen version the UK version with English cover? I am trying to ensure the copy I am getting wasn't stolen.

Is it reversible? Then there's a chance it's stolen. Doesn't mean it is though m
Anyone else who's got the game early, can you confirm something? I've been getting trophy notifications on the top left as I've been playing, but I can't actually view my trophies for the game, nor does my number of trophies seem to have increased since before I started playing. This happening for any of you guys, and if so, does anyone know if they've actually unlocked, or just appeared to have?
I unlocked crushing when I completed moderate (normal). At least it's not greyed out for me any more, but I haven't actually tried using it.

After the dissapointments that were other new sequels in franchises this gen, like Batman, MGSV, etc. This one is worth the hype and totally blew me away and my expectations.
People are too harsh on Batman, yea some bad Batmobile sections, and yea side content wasn't so good for most part but overall the campaign was great and worthy of a Batman title.
But yea I can understand how some can see it as disappointing after AC, I just still enjoyed it, now MGS5 though... oh man
Anyway just read the last 6 pages, impressions are unreal, reminds me of the U2 days. 7 days.
It worked with TLOU but I think old Uncharteds were more fun on normal, but U4 takes a lot of things from TLOU's combat so I don't know...
I haven't got the game but from what I've heard from media people when they are playing a game pre-release and they can't view their trophies for that game, trophies just haven't been added to Sony's server yet. Sorry if that's not clear, I forget how exactly they phrase it but basically Sony hasn't officially let the trophies go live. It's why the trophies can't be viewed on sites like PSN Profiles yet.

It is ! I can do that until embargo lifts !
But it appears I had already updated it to 94. Although that still seems a tad low right now...
I will leave it as it is, but 96 is definitely possible going by the impressions.
It's cool. Think I'm sticking with my 93.
So just like the past 3 uncharteds. Thanks.
Gonna go for the same route I did,
Normal for the first experience, then Crushing for the challenge(Plat)

So, Crushing is not unlocked from the get-go?
Hard it is then! It can't be more difficult than Brutal, right?

Just a heads up for anyone who bought the Spanish NTSC version. If you want to recoup some money, sell the multiplayer booster pack code. You can sell it for at least $10.
As mentioned, this is because the trophies are not on the servers yet. They are earned, however, so once they're live they'll since and be viewable.

I'm not saying those games were shit, I did have fun with them, but it's obvious most of the killer sequels have just been not up to people expectations. I fully think even now, some will say UC 4 wasn't as good as they hoped, but I'm willing to bet that will be much less then these other recent blockbusters that didn't live up to their pedigree. Batman had an over abundance of batmobile, dissapointing boss battles, and tank of course. MGS V basically was incomplete, repeated the intro, some questionable chapter issues, and just came off as an incomplete game at the eND of the day. I think in terms like this. UC4, really succeeds in moving it's franchise forward (even if it's the last) and didn't dissapoint me at all. Just left me with some very minor elements to bring up. Uncharted 4 is one of the best games I've ever had the pleasure of playing and the best third person shooter adventure game in my eyes.

So now that they've opened the world up do the tresures have any significance beyond trophies? That's always bugged me about the series. I still try to find the damn things because they are there but by halfway through the game that becomes tedious. Now with a larger area to explore I can really see it getting dull if nothing is tied to it.
